I've been using Crinone gel. I was randomized to it through a clinical study.

I'm currently 8 weeks 4 days and everything is going well.

I have no side effects from Crinone, other than discharge. It's pretty gross, but it will be over in 4 weeks. I've read that other women have suppository ...

Hi Indie,

I'm sorry about the BFN. I was a sometimes poster on the group here and monitored everyone's progress closely. I too am in the Duramed study and was also randomized to the gel. I have had only bloating and breast tenderness as progesterone side effects.

A few mornings I noticed that ...

I'm 5 weeks 3 days and I don't really have anything more than mild pregnancy symptoms. All 3 of my betas were great 128, 601, 2150. I feel good. No spotting or cramping. I have a few minor uterine twinges and pokes.

I'm extremely bloated and look 5 months pregnant (I'm small, so it's pretty funny ...

I think it varies for everyone. If your embryos were 6 and 5 cell it may take another couple of days for them to catch up.

My 3 day transfer of 3 8-cell embryos was on 6/2.

I got my first faint, but definitely positive, test on 6/10 and it's been getting darker and darker with every test. My beta ...

Thanks cwrj00. I found that article too, but I was looking for something a bit less clinical... I still have no idea what this means. My doctor didn't say they were low grade, so that was news to me.

Has anyone heard of this? Anyone pregnant with low grade embryos?

Hi there,

I just finished my first round of IVF with ICSI. I'm 34. Everything went perfectly. I got 27 eggs, 17 mature, 12 fertilized. We were feeling hopeful until the transfer yesterday when they said that I only had 4 5-6 cell and 3 8 cell embryos - all with granulation. And that this ...

Hi again,

I finally got my CD3 screening test results back and I'm officially in the study!!!!!!! I am SO relieved. My tests over 6 weeks ago indicated high FSH - so I was terrified that not only would I not be able to participate in the study, that I wouldn't be able to get pregnant at all. My ...

Thanks for the info Indie!

We have to pay for the meds ($2000-4000), $500 lab fees, $750 for cryopreservation and $500 for anesthesia. I will give the coordinator a call though - well, once I find out if I'm in the study for sure.

I'm ready to know, ready to take the damn test ... the waiting is ...

Indie,
You can still stay in the study and have the IVF for free - even if you get disqualified? Does it say that some where on the consent form? Holy cow! That would be amazing.

Ha, just figured out how to edit.

Hi everyone,

I found this board a few days ago and was so excited. I actually live about an hour from Reno, so hopefully I'll be in the study there soon. I only found out about the study a few weeks ago. We'd gone to see Dr. Foulk after trying unsuccessfully for a year. I've had 2 ultrasounds, and ...
