Actually DHEA is a form of testosterone supplement from what I understand. When I went into the vitamin store to ask for it, he was wondering why I was taking it, because usually men are the one who take it in order to increase their testosterone. So I am taking 3, 25mg capsules a day (just started ...

I too just finished my first cycle of IVF with a negative outcome. At my post IVF consult I asked the doctor what I could do to increase my mature egg production. They only retrieved 5 eggs, and 3 were mature, 2 fertlized. We had beautiful embryos, but they didn't stick. So...her response to my ...

Official bloodwork result is in and unfortunately it is BFN. Devestated, but looking to the next cycle.

Thanks for your support.

Yes, being positive is what we all need to be:) I am still resisting the HPT! I guess I am just too scared to see the result so I will just wait for the bloodtest result tomorrow. I just don't know what to think! A lot has been happening with my body, but I am afraid that it is just the progesterone ...

Congrats Laurie and Elvisbaby! That is so great! I am sure you are already glowing!!! Your numbers are wonderful too!

Kerribell,

I too have endometriosis and my RE told me that is why they were only able to retrieve 5 eggs from me on ER day. Out of those 5 only 3 were mature and then only 2 fertlized with ICSI. Praise the Lord though that the two that fertilized turned out to be a 10 cell (grade 4) and 8 cell ...

Amy,

"POAS" is "Pee on a Stick" :D

I am feeling okay 3dp3dt. The little crampy twinges come and go. They are very light and don't feel like AF cramps. After reading so many other ladies posts it sounds like cramping is a good thing, so ironically enough I am a little bummed that I am hardly ...

Hi Mybaby,

I was just wondering if my name can be added to the list

I had ER on 6/27-retrieved 5 (3 mature)
2 fertilized
ET on 6/30 2 embryos-(1-10 cell grade 1, 1-8 cell grade 1)
Beta 7/11

Thanks!
Stacey

Congratulations!!! What blessed words to hear!! You are going to be a mommy!!!!

Hello ladies!

As I lay here on bedrest I am finding all kinds of things to read and obsess about:) I just read through several pages of this thread so I thought I would introduce myself. My name is Stacey and we are currently in the 2ww of our very first IVF cycle. It is a VERY nerve racking time ...

That is so great bobo! I hope that you get a big beautiful BFP on July 6th!

You are SO RIGHT about God hearing our prayers and ANSWERING THEM!!!! As everyone has read we have been on an emotional roller coaster. Yesterday, we got the call that we only had one embryo because the second one hadn't ...

Well the ER itself went well, no problems. However, they didn't get very many eggs. They retrieved 5 eggs and according to the report this morning 3/5 were actually mature. Out of the 3 that were mature 2 fertilized. I was rather bummed out about this, but I am just praying that the two that ...

Hi ladies,

Well today is my big day. We will be leaving in about 45 minutes for the retrieval. I am not too nervous, but find it extremely odd that I am feeling better today then I have the entire time I was on stims! I am still a little bloated, but as far as cramping it is almost non existant. I ...

Congrats to you too!

So you think they will have you wait another week before retrieval? I guess I am totally off track then, because I figured I would have a Monday or Tuesday retrieval (purely a guess). Originally I was thinking Thursday the 28th, but after seeing my follicles I thought maybe I ...

I will be your buddy! Nice to meet you!

This is my first IVF cycle and I started Lupron on the 15th and stims on the 17th. Yesterday I went for my first ultrasound and bloodwork since being on stims and I had 7 good sized follicles and 4-5 that are further behind. I go back tomorrow for further ...
