Sorry that I didn't post right after my test. It was a BFN :cry: I had expected it because I started spotting on Friday. We are not going to try IVF again. Luckily, I have a wonderful husband who is supportive and we are moving on. For the first time in five years, I won't have to count days hoping ...

Meg: I am hoping that your numbers will improve. It seems strange that the numbers would go up if you are not pregnant. I had a chemical pregnancy after my first IUI and my numbers were around 25. My nurse told me that was borderline for pregnancy. Unfortunately, mine dropped fast. It was a 10 the ...

Hello ladies! I hope you don't mind me posting. I usually post in First Time IVF with meg and lisa66. I just wanted to let you all know that I have been reading your posts and that you all are very encouraging. This is my first and only IVF. I didn't have any frosties and I had 1 excellent, 1 good ...

lisa,

I am so sorry! Like me, I know this was your one chance. Just know that you are in my prayers.

Have you and your husband discussed adoption? I was ready to jump into the adoption process and my husband wanted to try IVF, so I am doing this for him. No, I guess I am doing it for us. We have ...

Congrats meg!!!! I am so excited for you! I'll be praying for bigger numbers for you on Thursday.

lisa, how are you doing? Hang in there! Just one more day.

I have 4 more days until I test. I had a stressful work day today and kept thinking, "I don't need this right now." I am more hopeful today ...

lisa, how are you doing? Any word about your test results? Please let us know how it went.

meg, I'm sorry that you had a bad day. Has it gotten any better? Hang in there, just one more day.

I am praying for you both.

Yes lisa, I have two blood tests. One is on Sat. and the other will be on that following Monday. I am suprised that you have two so close together. I wonder why yours is different? I am just praying that we all make it thru to our second test. I can't wait to hear about your results tomorrow. Good ...

Welcome lisa66!!! I'm excited for both you and Meg and can't wait to hear your results. I can't believe it's almost here.

I have to agree about having negative emotions. I have just felt like this isn't going to work. I guess because I don't feel any different. Of course, I know we shouldn't yet ...

Oh no!! I don't want triplets. I am terrified that I will. On the day of the transfer, we had 1 excellent, 1 good, and 2 fair. They told us that sometimes by putting in a 3rd embryo, there is a "cohort" effect and it tricks the body into thinking your pregnant and it helps insure success. Of course ...

I have been so nervous about our embyros. We did get some good news today. The nurse told us that we have 2 excellents and 2 fair as of today. If they stay excellent we are going to transfer them and 1 fair. I feel excited and hopefull again!

How are you? Have the nerves gotten better or worse ...

Yes, I agree about the wait for the phone call. My husband received a call last night and he sounded so "flat". I was sure that it was the clinic to tell me something had gone wrong. Fortunately, we won a vacation to the Bahamas. He didn't think it was real and was trying to be reserved.

We did get ...

That's great! I'll be thinking of you. I made it through the retrieval today. Some mild cramping is all. Not bad. We have 13 eggs and will get the first word tomorrow about how many fertilized. I can't wait!! I'm nervous too. Transfer is planned for Monday if all goes well. I would love to take off ...

I am happy for you! When do they expect your transfer? I guess my appointment went ok. Only very few follicles on my right and lots on my left. The doc did say it is possible that 4 of my follicles are post mature because they are very large. I have several others that are very small. He said that I ...

Thank you for your help. I'll check it out. Good luck tomorrow. I'll be sending good thoughts your way. I am nervous about my appointment tomorrow. I hope I get the go ahead. Can't wait to hear how many embryos you get.

Take Care.

I had my other ultrasound today. My right ovary is still not doing as much as my left. The largest one is 17 on my left. He wants me to stay on the meds three more days. He was going to increase them but the nurse said that it is too late to increase. I go back on Wed. I just want to move on already ...
