Joyanna, I'm so very sorry to hear about your loss. I lost my baby at 10 weeks back in April. We had an irregular heartbeat on our first scan and on our second scan there was no heartbeat at all. We found out on a Thursday that there was no heartbeat and I confirmed it with my OB on Friday. She ...

Well, here I go again. 5th try. Last try. We were preggers in Feb but lost the baby at 10 weeks. It's taken me this long to get up the nerve to try again. Because of the expense, (insurance doesn't cover any of this) we know this will be our last try.

I'm a poor responder. I felt in my heart after ...

Snapper,

Hang in there. I had 2 cancelled cycles because I wasn't responding to the meds. Each time we were crushed. The first time we were shocked and devastated. We never let ourselves believe that IVF wouldn't work. The second time we were numb. We were forced to realize that this actually may ...

I haven't been around for a few of weeks.

Not to bring more bad news to the board, but I lost my baby too. I was 9 1/2 weeks. I was the one that had my 1st u/s at a bit over 7 weeks and they found a slow heartbeat and the baby was 6 days behind. When we re-tested on 4/10, they found that the baby ...

Sunseeker,

I wish there was something I could say that would make things all better for you.

On our 4th IVF cycle we finally got pregnant. The 3 previous cycles I didn't even make it to egg retrieval - they were cancelled because I was a poor responder. This last time we finally had 2 follicles ...

Lola, you're not crazy for doing the freak out thing about your symptoms changing. Or if you are, then I am too! :shock:

I was getting ready for bed the other day (I work midnight shift) and when I took my bra off my breasts didn't feel as heavy or sore as they had been feeling lately. That simple ...

1. DID YOU DO A 3 DAY TRF? Yes

2. How many did you trf? **ONE** That's all I had at retrieval. I was a very low responder. Just turned 42 years old.

3. What cell were they? 8 cell that morning when picture was taken. Had begun mushing together (sorry, don't know the technical term) by the time we ...

Hang in there. Anything is possible!!!

I had only 1 egg at retrieval and that little thing has beaten all kinds of odds and hung in here with me. I'm 9 weeks pg. It wasn't frozen, but I'm sure since your little ones have survived the thaw they're on the track to implanting!!

I know the ...

Anyone been having wierd food cravings? Mine has been sour cream, which is really wierd for me because I could take it or leave it before I was pregnant.

Yesterday I had a dream where I was eating a Klondike bar and potato chips. What an odd combination.

When I woke up I had an overwhelming urge ...

Good morning. I went for my 1st ultrasound yesterday (Monday) and am so happy to report that we got to see our baby and hear its heartbeat. Unfortunately we had a little bit of bad news too.

I'm 7w2d but measured at 6w3d. My RE says that's ok as long as it's not more than a week difference so we ...

All I can say is....the most important thing you can do is follow your heart.

I was 40 when I had 2 uterine polyps removed and then started my IVF cycles. Because of my age I was given pretty gloomy odds that IVF would be successful but my husband and I were willing to try. The question we kept ...

keita1981....We did a 3 day transfer with just 1 egg. It was all I had produced. It was 8 cells the morning of the transfer and when we saw it that afternoon right before the transfer it had changed from the 8 cell. I'm not sure of all the changes an egg goes through after the 8 cell part. I didn't ...

Forgot to mention....

Sophie I love the list with all of our dates !!!! Thanks for keeping up with it all.


Kristy

OMG Sophie. You've been through so much. I absolutely can't imagine. Again, you've got a super strong little one in there!!! It's meant to be. I can't wait to hear how your u/s goes on Tuesday.

Lola. I have a confession. You absolutely cracked me up when I first read your post where you mentioned ...

My signature didn't show up on my pvs msg so I'm including all my information here.
