I was lucky with my first, fresh cycle in June '06. I now have a DS who is 2 years old. I just did my first FET in April but got a BFN...and now I'm starting meds again tomorrow to try my second FET in June. It CAN WORK on the first try. I'm hoping it will work on the second try for my FET!!

Good luck!

Good luck to you. Hopefully we will get our BFPs with our first cycle!

It looks like there are lots of us who were fortunate to have success with our first IVF. I was 29 (irregular af) and dh 32 (low count and motility) and we did IVF with ICSI and we now have a 3-yr-old ds. You are so young and to overcome a male issue with ICSI seems to be very possible- I wish you all the best!!! Hope your dreams come true!!

We are also very fortunate that it worked the 1st time, i had a clean bill and DH had poor count and motility, we did ICSI, transferred 4 perfect embies and now have one wonderful son. It unfortunately is a game of numbers mixed in with some luck.

Baby dust to you!

medstudentmom2b- We transferred 2 day 5 blasts (one blast was rated the highest rating possible and the other was a step down from that)

Thankyou! This is really encouraging! I am 28 and DH is 37 and we are only planning on transferring two... hopefully they will be good quality. I really am hoping that the first time works!

Thank you again. Good luck!

Hi - I was a first time success story - we did IVF in 2007 and I had a little boy in March 2008. We made 21 eggs, 15 survived extraction, 12 fertilized and 3 made it past blastocyst. We had one implanted and two frozen. Last week I had one of the remaining two implanted and am doing the waiting game with my pregnancy test. I hope I'm as lucky second time around. Best of luck.
