New Hope Fertility Center

[cutzthename]

I think I saw a post on here about the mini IVF.  I just  made and appointment with the center for October 22.  My doctor is good friends with the doctor who heads this up.  My dr had problems getting pregnant (he's a man, but you know what I mean) and now has a 6 month old baby!!!  There is only one center that does the mimi IVF in the states (I think).

I will let you all know how the consult went and what the procedure is.  I really have precautions to go thru conventional IVF, so maybe this is a sign.

It's funny, my doctor told me about the center, but didn't give me the contact info.  I get home the same day, look thru the paper and BAM there it was!!!

I'm thinking of going to New Hope.  What happened with the second transfer?

I had my first failed IVF at this center. I am not blaming the doctor since I know the overall success rate nation wide is no higher than 40%. But someone at my age (30) with 3 good qualify embryos would optimistically think her chance will be better. I had two embryos transplant on day 3(although people think day 5 transfer is a better bet as embryos develop further and has higher potential to implant). After the transplant, I was not moving much for two days, and afterwards very careful on my daily activities. I was having cramps all along and sour breasts through day 6-9. On my day 10, I had my beta test and was told that my beta was close to zero, in another words, the nurse (in this center, normally Dr will not talk to patient directly as he is VERY BUSY, rather his staff will be calling you, explaining your test results and telling you what to do,) told me my poor two embryos had no sign of even implanted, which is to say I did not even have a “chemical pregnancy”. Well, because I was greedy and wanted to have twins by asking Dr to transplant two embryos instead of one as he suggested, I only had one frozen embryo (frozen at day 5) left for future transplant.

Overall, I had 5 shots and was on clomid for the most of the time. The mini IVF is less painfully (but I bet it is psychologically as painful as the traditional one, although I had no prior experience on IVF whatsoever). My retrieval was not that bad, just felt very nervous and I believe I will be more relaxed next time if I have to go through another cycle in the future.

Really have to say the result is quite disappointing. I was totally shocked when the nurse told me about my BFN! My first reaction was to talk to Dr in person and ask him what I should do next. I did not talk to him in person because I wanted to take a break and waited for my period to come (which came 3 days after I stopped the meds). Now I am taking it easy for this month and planning to have my frozen embryo transplant when I feel I am ready. If say I still cannot have my frozen embryo implanted and will have to start another cycle, I think I can handle it. After all, we all will have to move on. Wish you all and myself good luck on our baby pursuing!
