Hang in there ladies. I was also disappointed by the # of frozen embyos. We had 12 fertilized and apparently they were all doing great at day 3 so we did a day 5 transfer with the best 2. Only one made it to freezing. Preg test is may 5th. This week is going to kill me!!! I noticed there is alot ot talk about PGD. My doctor said it was too risky to the embryos and unless i was at high risk. I thought with icsi that they would do it but apparently not. Maybe its cause Im 34?
Thanks.
Can you suggest good drs in NJ area?
I am so sorry about your hcg levels. I feel so sad for you...
Sending you a big cyber hug.
Hi Ladies.
My # came back very low again - 43.5. It was 35 before and should have at least been 70. Dr wants me to go back on Mon again for bld test. But I have no hopes now. This happened once before also when I was doing natural IUI with no meds but then starting #s were much higher but they did not rise at the right rate. I am now concerned that may be there is a problem with me which is causing the embryo to not grow properly even though it gets implanted - they called it chemical last time and are calling it biochemical preg this time.
I want to take a second opinion from a dr also. Can someone pl advise me good drs in NJ area?
Thanks fall or being there - I need you all now more than ever.
Thanks - I hope # doubles...
Yeah - I am going in tomorrow morning. I am very tensed....

Are you re-testing tomorrow? If your beta doubles it's a good news.
Good luck!
Ya...that is how our doc office gives it to us. Beta/hcg...one and the same.
Good luck!!!!!
Hi,
This is the beta hcg # we are taking about, right? I mean thats what they measure in the preg blood test, right? The dr's office really unnerved me and now your notes are giving hope. Just want to make sure I am reading this right :)
Thanks Helen72 - Thanks again all for being there. I need it now!
Good luck to all as well!

35 is not that low. I hope the number keeps growing.
I have posted this a couple of times lately...but it is good news to hear. I have a great friend w/ her IVF + betas...8 was her first (now dd is 2) and 35 w/ the baby she is 32 wks pg with. Don't bank all on those early numbers! If they increase...that is the telltale sign!
Good luck, good luck, good luck!! :O)
Hi Gals.
My test today came positive but the # is very low - 35 where it should be 100 or more. Dr asked me to continue all meds and go back for blood work on Fri again.
I am very disheartened - has anyone gone thru the same. Today was the 11th day after ET. Could it be too soon to test for beta?
Thks
Thanks a lot. I hope I have good news to share...
Good luck tomorrow!
I'll be looking for your update.
Thanks Heather5. Thankfully no foul odor I or itching/burning. am keeping my fingers crossed.
White creamy discharge is pretty common, so unless it has a foul odor or it itches/burns, I don't think you have anything to worry about :-) Best of luck on your pregnancy test! I hope it's a BFP!!!
Hi,
I am due for a pregnancy test on Wed 23rd. This is the first IVF cycle. Had 2 embyos trfr ed on Fri 04/11. Having white discharge occasionally. I generally have it. Is it anything to worry about?
Blood test for progesterone is tomorrow at 7am. Pray for me pl !
On day 3 actually 8 cell embryos is what they are looking for. Those are considered the best.
When is your blood test? My fingers are crossed for you.
It was a day 3 trfr and u r right - they did tell us that they were transferring the 2 best ones. Dr told us that out of the 9 embryos that fertilized, only 2 looked "gorgeous" with 8 cells. Just keeping up my hopes.
Thanks for being so positive. Good luck to you too.
