Hi ladies,

I had my second retrevial last Tuesday and what kills me is how much the doctors, nurses and clinic in general down play how bad you feel. I was having strong cramping the first day. Day 2 and 3 I swelled up and my tummy was hard as a rock and painful. I couldn't walk very fast because ...

I did end up with 26 eggs, 19 were mature. This time around we did ICSI and were successful with 14 of them. The clinic made the desicion today to wait 5 days before the transfer.

This is the second time through for me, I had 22 folicles last time back only had 3 medium quality eggs. I felt just as ...

I want to know if it is just the way my body reacts to the injections. This is the second try with IVF and the shots. By the end of the 7th days I feel like my ovaries are the size of oranges and my tummy is hard. It is very uncomfortable to sit straight up in a chair and I have to walk slow because ...

Hi, mine came two days after stopping the progestrone shots.

Hi ladies,

My name is Lisa and I am single living in New York. I am set to begin my shots at the end of Feb. and will try my second attempt with IVF between March 12-17th.

My first was in Dec. and ended in a chemical pregnancy. I had surgery last Sept. to remove ovarian cysts and 3 failed IUI's ...

Thanks all to your responses. I ended up with a Chemical Pregnany, my HCG levels were extremely low, didn't double and then dropped. This is why the test result didn't register positive.

I'm looking towards the future and trying again.

All the best.

Hi All,

There has been a lot of great responses to this post and I'll add just one more. I too have Stage 4 Endo and completed my 1st IVF attempt Dec. 16th. It resulted in a Chemical Pregnancy.

Specifically to your fear of how you will handle it if you are not successful. Of course focus on the ...

I sadly had to except today that my first try at IVF this month ended in a Chemical Pregnancy. Unfortunately I wasn't able to freeze any eggs, so I will have to go through the entire process again. I'm looking for anyone who can share some success stories after similar experiences.

Thanks

I just wanted to let you know that my heart goes out to you. I'm sorry the test was negative. I take my offical test tomorrow, but am fairly certain it is no. I took a home test yesterday...I just had to know. Just allow yourself to re-group and get your body healthy again. Then jump back in with ...

Hi all,

I took a home test this morning at is was clearly negative. No faint line at all. Offically I take my blood test in two days. Has anyone ended up being surprised with a positive result after a negative at home?

Thanks

cinders101 - Congradulations!!! I had 18 eggs as well. I take my test on 12/27.

Hi, Sat. was my transfer as well and have been suffering cramping and stomach pain all week. I went into the Dr. on Monday and she said my ovaries are swollen "but that is to be expected". I missed some days at work as well. I think it is normal for some woman. I don't think the doctors tell you how ...

Hi Madhusri, thanks for the reply and best wishes. I will say a prayer for you as well. My follicles have shown some improvement so they are keeping me on the drugs two more days. It looks like I will have enough to retrieve...and I am hoping for at least three good eggs. Hang in there, this is ...

Hi, I would appreciate any feedback from people who have been in the small place. I found out this morning that my first try at IVF is going to be canceled due to low follicle count. When I asked my doctor how soon we can try again, she surprised me by saying she had me on the strongest drug ...
