good luck Emme22! i hope for good results after your heartbreak x although it can feel like an isolating experience try to stay strong.. i found i was really nervous to talk to anyone about it... once i did reach out and talk to friends at work and in my social group i found so many other people (whom i had no idea) were once in my boat. Good luck x

Hello everyone!
First let me say I pray for all of us struggling mothers and mothers-to-be. Baby dust to us all. This is my first post and my first board although I have been reading them for months.

My story: Me 38 DH 39 unexplained infertility. Neither one of us have any issues other than age.
Our journey began about 18 months ago. We tried for 6 months naturally and when that didn't happen my Dr put me on clomid. 4 months of Clomid with no luck. 1 IUI with BFN stimulated with Bravell, that was in Sept 2013. In Oct my clinic informed me that they were going to be conducting an IVF trial and that I could qualify. Lucky for us I did! So we took time off from baby making stress until the trial started in Jan. We put back 2 embies that were both 8 cell rated A & B+. We also froze a 5 day blastocyst that was rated a B. I am now 9dp3dt. I go in for my beta on Sunday 3/16. I have felt little twinges and my breast are sore, but these could be side effects of the crinone.

The 2WW is evil. The first week felt like a month and I bet this second week will be worse. UGH!

Emme22 good luck for tomorrow xx

Hi everyone, I am new to this forum so I'm still getting used to the terms etc. I just had ET today and transferred 2 embies (3day). This is my first cycle of IVF. I'm 38 and husband is 40, unexplained infertility. Maybe someone could answer this... With all the meds etc I've been taking it totally slipped my mind and I accidentally took dose of Doxycycline. This was after my ET. Does anyone know if this could harm my embies? I haven't been able to get a hold of doctor. I'm stressing now

Hello... Im new here. Can I have some advice please. Im so unhappy. I will be 38 in this year, no baby, unexplained fertility, we needs IVF.
Our story started last year in January 2013. GP referred us to the St Mary's hospital. We spend 9 months there for nothing. I had a lots of blood test and US. After they said we needs IVF, but they are not doing there. Will refer us to UCLH. We get the first appt in last october ( 2013) see Dr. in UCLH. She said again that we need IVF. ( as we know! ) but do again blood test and US. ?????? i was not really happy but i did. After i had to go back in December. She said all test ok, needs IVF. After 2 Months get appt with nurse ( was in Ferb 2014 ) and she said actually she is not doing IVF and she doesnt know why im there. She will refer me to the IVF consultant. Finally I get appt for last week ( April 2014 ) and the dr said I need blood test again and US. ????????? I said to her Im not doing because under 1 and half year i had at least 15 same blood test and 10 US. She said must do it and some one will call me for dummy ET test. My question is that do you know how long i have to wait still???? When they will call us? And how long I have to wait for IVF?? As she said the waiting is so long maybe 6-8 months. why it is going so slowly. Are you happy with the UCLH IVF doctors?

Sorry you've gone through all that. What/who is UCLH?

I have no idea about your case, but some clinics will run diagnostics all over again because there is profit in it. Others just like to have done exactly their way. Once IVF is indicated for a patient, it should take only a month or two for treatment to start.

It's normal for estradiol and progesterone to drop.

Your hCG booster will increase the result of your "beta" hCG test on Monday.
