Just wanted to say you can trust the 1% because it only takes 1 sperm..

My DH had issues with count, shape, and motility.. hardly any of his were ok!! The doc kept reassuring us it only takes one...The ladies were right and that is how they check to see which ones are better.. There are ...

how old are you and DH? I am 26.. DH is 30
Did you get PG on 1st IVF? Yes!!! :)
How many follicles? Not sure
How many eggs retrieved? 11
How many fertilized? 7
How many transferred? 2

I think its great to be optimistic.. I know there are several factors that come into play when talking about IVF.. everyones body is different and everyone responds differently but.. in my case.. we did our first IVF w/ ICSI in June 2007 due to male factor.. I stimmed for the lowest amount of days ...

We TTC for nearly 6 years!! No one could give us an answer as to what was wrong.. Military docs.. a little slow I guess!! but anyways Dh has pretty severe MF issues.. Low count, low motility, poor morphology.. I have one blocked tube as well. We went through our first IVF w/ ICSI cycle June 2007 and ...

Your welcome Emily!! I wish you nothing but success!!

Good Luck!!

Yes that's a HUGE number!!

My number 11 days after a 3 day transfer was 72 or 74.. My RE say as long as it goes up by 60% in 3 days that its great news!!!

I say congratulations!!!

Hey Emily..

I had one blocked tube and one open tube.. DH had male factor issues.. Good thing with IVF is that you don't need the tubes at all!! :)
We did our first IVF in June 2007.. and got a bfp!! I'm 31 weeks and 3 days pregnant today.. Due Feb 25th..

Good Luck with your cycle!! think nothing ...

My DH also had issues with his boys!! He had low morphology, low count, low motility.. we did our first IVF w/ ICSI in June and it worked!! After TTC for 6 years... I am currently 29 weeks pregnant and still its so hard to believe..

Good Luck with your upcoming cycle!! ICSI is great!

I had a few strong strong cramps during my 2ww.. i had no clue what was going on but come to find out it was the little one getting nestled in.. Here I am.. 29 weeks pregnant!!

I'd take it as a great sign!!

IVF # 1 worked for us !!
I am now 25 weeks pregnant with a beautiful baby boy!!

Good Luck!!

Thank you !!

I'm sorry I haven't been on here in a while but its been kinda slow so I chat more frequently on another pregnant board.. That one is SUPER DUPER busy so its really hard to keep up!

Anyways.. Thanks again for the congrats on the baby boy Kathi !! We found out when we were 16 weeks ...

Hey there!!

Well.. I'm sorry you have to turn to IVF but its really not that bad!!
I finished my first IVF w/ ICSI cycle in June and got my Positive from that IVF cycle as well. Today I am 21 weeks and 1 day pregnant and expecting one little baby boy!! :)
We tried to conceive for nearly 6 years ...

I too had IVF w/ ICSI in June of this year. It was my first IVF cycle and we had ICSI due to Dh's poor morphology,poor motility, low count. Here I am .. 19 weeks and 5 days pregnant with one healthy baby boy! Everything looks great so far!

There really are not any studies that confirm that ICSI ...

This might give you ladies some hope!

I had a negative HPT the day before my beta was due. That was 10dp3dt.. Beta was the next day 11dp3dt and it was positive. The HPT I used was a cheapie from work and it said it measured 25 or less.. It sure didn't. Because my level the next day was in the 70's ...

I got cramps starting 3dp3dt or 4 dp3dt.. It wasn't like a menstrual cramp. It was a strong cramp that would last for a few seconds then it would go away. It would stop me in my tracks from what I was doing, until it passed. I hope this is the same you are feeling!! I know a lot of women have ...
