Just wanted to give you an update...

Thank you for all your reply and kind support. Turned out I went through 1st, 2nd trimester without feeling anything at all, no morning sickness, no nausea or vomiting. Now I'm 31 weeks and heartburn is my biggest problem. Other than that, I feel totally normal ...

I was told it's normal, but if you worry, double check with the doctor.

Hi Julianna

I did Bravelle this time, but didn't have any symptoms as you described. I would talk to the Dr and ask if it's normal. Obvisously IVF/pregnancy is a mystery and people have different reactions to the same medication.

Good luck!

Thank you meg12 and sleepyfoy. I know it sounds silly, but with 6 failed IUIs, 2 failed IVFs and 1 failed FET, I can't help noticing all the symptoms (or lack of them) every step along the way...
I start getting worried what if I can never have babies... :cry:

Hi sleepyfoy,

Thanks for your opinion. I heard that everybody's different and every pregnancy's different, but since I've never been pregnant, I don't know what to expect, except what I read... I also heard about the relationship between morning sickness and healthy baby theory, and that worries me ...

Don't eat/drink anything after midnight the day before. Wear comfortable clothing to the procedure. You need somebody to drive you home after that. Maybe rest for 1-2 days before going back to work.

Good luck!

Hi Elvisbaby,

Both clinics I've been a patient to all have me go back 2-3 days later to make sure the hCG doubles. So I don't understand why they refuse to do it again until 7 days later. You shoule really ask for it again!

Hi Dreambaby,

Don't give up. Keep on pushing your doctor for the appeal and maybe you can appeal too! My ins told me (when we first started) that only IVF counts against the lifetime maximum, but apparently they included all the IUIs as well! I'm going to fight them. So should you!

Good luck!

Can someone give any advice?

I had sore and swollen breasts since the start of progesterone injection, but that feeling went away and felt normal just 2 days before the pregnancy test. Since everywhere you read, it tells you the sore breasts is one of the first signs of pregnancy. I was feeling so ...

Hi there,

I know how hard it is to wait 2 weeks for your sentence! But hang in there!

Like andrea2251 said, HPT is not really accurate if hCG shot was involved, because it takes about 14 days for it to leave your system.

My clinic gave me a list of things I should avoid while waiting, including ...

I've been a patient at 2 clinics and they both have me on shot when I'm doing IVF. Suppo. was only used when we did IUI. The nurse told me that if I get pregnant, I will continue the injection until 10~12 weeks.

Hi,

Sorry I don't have a suceess story, but I'm in my 3rd IVF and one previous FET gave me 7 weeks (then miscarried) - longer than any fresh cycle. If your embryos are healthy, it should give you a good result.
