embryo transfer
i has my transfer on 12/20/2010.. the single embryo that was transfered had already start to come out of shell, when do you thing i can do hpt?
I just came home from my first BT after my 3 blastocyst embies transfer done last jan,3, 2011, when I came across your message here in the forum. I know this might be quite late from your posting but I am hoping that you are doing great up to this date January 6 '11.
I am 3 days out of my 2WW and hoping to have a positive one this time, GOD willing.
Anyway, don't stress yourself with negative feelings you are having from your previous treatments and this one as well. You're still very young and have a long way to go. Patience is a very important thing in such circumstances. Be patient and relax. I agree with you that it's quite financially draining and such an emotional roller coaster ride. But your being worried will not help you conceive. I understand it is easier said than done, but believe me nervousness and worrying won't help you in any way.
This is what I have been doing for the last 3 attempts and this one I am undergoing right now. I try from the very first day of my protocol to relax, physically and emotionally. And though I regularly pray, I pray some more. I never ask for a lot, I only ask HIM that if this is the right time for me and my husband to have kids then it's HIS will and not ours. I just ask HIM that if ever HE will bless us with child/children...let them be normal and healthy.
Hope I did not bore you with my sermon. I hope I would be of help to you.
GOODLUCK and may we both have babies of 2011...GOD willing your baby will be less than 3 weeks older than mine! Cheers and relax!
BTW...our nurse just called asking me to drop-by the clinic on Monday - January 10 ' 11 for my 2nd BT. I'm keeping my fingers crossed. GOD willing my B-hCg level is rising....

i started testing 7 days past my 3 day transfer and got my first BFP 8 days past transfer.
Hello fellow December IVFer!! I'm SO glad that I found this site to connect with other women who are going through this!!
I had my transfer just a couple of days before you - on the 17th. We transferred just a single embryo as well (day 5 blastocyst) that was also breaking out of its shell.
We're going in for our BT tomorrow.
GOOD LUCK to you!! Keep us posted! I'll do the same!
Here's our story if you're interested:
I am 32 and we have been trying for six years to get pregnant. Got pregnant once five years ago and miscarried at 6 weeks. Haven't been able to get pregnant since. We adopted a baby boy last year (who is the light of our lives!) and decided to try the IVF route to see if we can get pregnant. To our surprise, we had male and female fertility issues.
Our retrieval was 12/12 and they retrieved 29 eggs - 27 mature! And 17 of them were successfully fertilized thanks to ICSI! I heard these are really good numbers.
After the retrieval, I actually hyperstimmed and was on bed rest for a week because of it. They almost postponed our transfer, but we decided to go through with it anyway so that we could give the fresh one a try this cycle.
We transferred one really strong blastocyst on 12/17. My doctor suggested we only transfer one because I'm young and the blastocyst was so strong - was already hatching out.
I took a hpt on 12/24 and it was negative. I was devastated because it was Christmas Eve and I had SO wanted a "Christmas miracle" to share with our family. I truly (honestly) thought it would be positive!! I cried and cried, but my husband told me to not count too much on it and wait until my bt, which is tomorrow.
I'm a little nervous because my doctor told me that if I got pregnant, the hyperstimulation would get worse (due to rising hcg levels), but it's totally gone away.
Our BT is tomorrow morning and I'm nervous since our hpt was negative on day 7pt. But I am still hopeful.
I just can't imagine going through all of this and NOT getting pregnant!! Why would IVF not work when the conditions seem so perfect? I can't comprehend! It seems like all I've ever known for the past five years are NEGATIVE pregnancy tests and heartache after heartache because of that. Sometimes I feel like we've spent just as much money on hpt as we did for the IVF!! (I know that's a bit of an exaggeration - but, you know!)
I guess I just came here to find some support and talk with others who have been through this emotional roller coaster.
I am hopeful and prayerful.
I will let you know what the BT is tomorrow!!
