You are so right! This is a very difficult time. At least your hubby is willing to use donor eggs. The RE said that my eggs grew very quickly almost too quickly during the protocol and this could have compromised the quality. He said if the protocol is changed next time and we yield the same results ...

Hi everyone!
I'm back again after a short time off the board. Well I'm officially in the 2ww again on a FET. We transferred 4 embryos. We had 5 frozen, 1 didn't make it. I'm not feeling overly positive about the outcome as we only had 1 great embryo, the other 3 were as the RE stated "iffy". We will ...

Hi Angie (ICSI GIRL)!
We we have spoken before. I live in Grand Rapids and am seeing Dr. Daly at Grand Rapids Fertility.

Well I started AF today so I will call my doctor on Monday and we'll get started again on the FET. I'm not as nervous about this as I'm reading that it's not as hard as the ...

Hey everyone!
Thanks for the support. I haven't checked in for a while because I just needed a break from all the baby stuff and needed time to enjoy the good stuff in my life instead of focusing on what I didn't have.

Anyway, I went back to see my doctor and he said one of the embryos did implant ...

Vlada,
Thanks fors giving me some hope. I'm so glad that everything is going so positive with yours. My sister struggled to conceive as well (male factor like me) and she said the same thing that her first time didn't take but the second did. She said it seems when you don't care as much is when it ...

Well I got the dreaded news yesterday that I was a BFN. I pretty much figured as I started spotting on Sunday night. We have to sit down with the doctor now and talk about it and he said I can try again with the frozen embryos next month. He doesn't want to work off this period. Does anyone whose ...

Thanks Vlada for your support! Well tonight I came home after dinner with my family and noticed I'm spotting brownish/pinkish. Now I am really freaking out and am certain it didn't work. I don't know if stress has anything to do with it working or not. My mother passed away 3 weeks ago from cancer ...

Hello,
I just finished my IVF cycle with my transfer on Aug. 9. I will find out Monday 8/20 if it worked. The two week wait is the hardest part of the entire process. My dh and I dealt with male factor after his vasectomy reversal was deemed unsuccessful after having it work for 6 months. Apparently ...

Hey Ladies,
I had my first blood test today just to test my HCG level. It was at a 3. The HCG injection was given on August 4, tomorrow will be exactly two weeks ago that I got the injection. The nurse called me this afternoon and said I was borderline and it could go either way. She said when I ...

I've too tested and both were negative. It just upset me more and I know I shouldn't have done it as it may not be right. I too am still tempted to keep testing because now I figure that the HCG shot must be out of my system so if I get a positive then I must be pregnant. I'm so ridiculous right now ...

Hello everyone!
Thanks for your responses. I can't believe how much having this support helps! :D Today it seems the cramping has subsided and the bloating and soreness from the retrieval last week is about gone as well. I have my first blood test on Friday 8/17. The nurse told me this won't confirm ...

Hello,
I'm new to the board. I am 4 days post transfer with 2 8-cells. I'm doing the progesterone shots 2 twice daily. So far I have slight cramping periodically and a egg white type discharge. Is this normal? I haven't had any bleeding or anything. This is my first IVF cycle after a year of trying ...
