To answer about where I am in the IVF journey...

We just finished our first IVF ICSI after finding severe motility problem in DH. Hcg was at 16 on 3/12 and dropped to 6 on 3/14--biochemical pregnancy. We have 3 frozen embryos--1 Grade A day 5, 2 Grade B day 6. We will be doing FET in May or June ...

I hear ya about the waiting part...I see RE on 3/27. Let me know how everything goes. We have 3 frozen embryos--1 Grade A day 5, 2 Grade B day 6. Apparently they re-grade them after they thaw, so I'll pray that both yours and mine (and others doing an FET) do well! Our state has no insurance ...

Thanks for sharing your success stories! I love the thought of twins.

Nikki and IrishHope,
It sounds like we are at similar places in the process. My hcg was at 16 on 3/12, but dropped to 6 on 3/14. My dr. said that I will wait until next month's cycle to begin the FET process. I am having AF now ...

I am new to this site and have just had my first unsuccessful IVF ICSI. I am trying to stay positive and have faith, but I feel so low right now. My husband did find this passage that I keep reading over and over. I hope it helps someone else...

Awaiting FET--Any success stories?

I just received news that my first IVF/ICSI was a biochemical pregnancy. I am young and transferred 2 Grade A embryos, so I am scared about my upcoming FET having the same results. Any success stories to help keep me positive??

I hope to ease your nerves by telling you that I really did not feel much different on the meds. In fact, I found that I felt like I was being proactive towards our goal of having a baby, so I was probably less depressed than usual. I did begin to feel bloated when I started the stimulation med (I ...

I have not heard of a story similar to yours. I do know that it is a positive sign that your numbers are rising! Try searching "IVF low betas" to find other stories. Good luck!

You are so fortunate to have your daughter. I hope this cycle works out for you! I will be doing a FET around the same time.

I'll say a prayer for you. It sounds like you have been on emotional roller coaster! I just finished IVF/ICSI and had pos. preg. test but HCG of only 16 that eventually dropped. I understand a corner of what you are going through, and my heart goes out to you. I pray that this embryo is the one! He ...

new, sad, and very scared

I am new to this and am very scared about my recently unsuccessful IVF/ICSI. I am 28 and appear to be in good health; however, my husband is 32 and has very low sperm motility (as low as 1% at times). We just finished IVF ICSI with 9 fertilized eggs. We transferred 2 grade A embryos and froze 3 ...
