Wow I have just read this entire forumn, reading everyones stories has given myself a lot of closure as well as hope and not feeling so isolated with this incredible life changing IVF cycles, which people that have not undergone have no idea of the emotional rollercoaster we are on.
I am from Australia I am 25, this is my second cycle of IVF, I have PCOS, Endometriosis and a history of Ovarian Cysts.
On my first IVF cycle I was very sick and I had 23 eggs, everyone was so excited, the nurses my Doctor and of course my husband and I, after day 1 of fertalization we only had 5 embryos and by day 3 we had only 1 embryo which was not even a good one, I was also placed back into hospital because they over stimulated me, the transfer went ahead and 8 days after the 3 day transfer I knew it hadn't taken and my period came, a lot of friction was then there between my husband and I as to the blame game of who was responsible ie I blamed his sperm (I know its awful thing to do, but I was coming down from all of the hormones and it was hard for him to understand everything I had gone through). I wasn't happy with the care we received during being stimulated they were suppose to monitor me and they didn't so I overstimulated, the strange thing is we haven't paid for the aneathisist (bad spelling) and I received a cheque in the mail from the hospital without any reason so I don't know if they really screwed up with my treatment or not?
So we found a lovely Doctor in Sydney, after nearly 40 needles as we went through the cycle extremely slow to avoid over stimulating and we had to have 15 needles at $80.00 each I went for my egg collection on the 6th of July and was relieved to know we had 5 / 6 mature eggs this was our goal to have quality not quanity, I was so relieved to know by day 3 we had 1 at 4 cells, 2 at 5 cells 1 at 8 cells and 1 which was a days and a half ahead! I started crying! On Saturday I went and had a 5 day transfer and the embryo was better than a textbook one, so I was crying and kept my fingers crossed whilst the procedure was done, its been 4 days nearly 5 since transfer, I know I shouldn't of but I did a pregnancy test at home and it was positive but I know about the trigger injection which I had nearly two weeks ago this Saturday and the line was pretty easy to see, I have had cramping, lower belly feeling full and a bit bulgy and a small bit of dark browninsh discharge today which I soooo hope is / was it burrowing in me, my chest is also becoming very sore but on the side, I hope so much its a little baby inside of me, but I am also so grateful to know we actually have two frozen 5 day blastocyst embryos so if it is negative on Tuesday the 22nd of July we will go again.
I am upset with our first attempt of IVF there was no chance of our 3 day embryo to survive, if we had known we would of made them do a 5 day transfer which it would not of probably gone to, but we felt so pressured because if it was cancelled or if it didn't make it they would of missed out on their full $7000.00, we paid an extra $1200.00 for this cycle and everything has been worth it all up it cost us $9800.00 and hopefully get a few thousand dollars back from our healthfund if we are lucky.
I feel so much closure for writing this thank you so much, it is so nice to tell people that understand what I am going through and I understand all of your pieces of contribution, IVF is such a hard thing to go through but as girls we can do anything and everything as we are strong.
I feel for all of you, congratulations to everyone that have had the best news of a positive it inspires us all with the negative results to know there is a chance for us, I have 6 more sleeps until our blood test but I definately feel strange, and this never happened to me in our last cycle.
Thank you for letting me share my story, and I love reading everyones pieces it makes me feel so much better to know that I am not alone. I actually found this site by typing in all of my symptoms because I have become paranoid if I am pregnant or not and there isn't many places to find people that are going through IVF cycle pregnancys.
Thanks

I am also due for my first beta on the 21st. I am resisting the urge to take a HPT . Im so worried because i have no real symptoms. I did have some dark brown blood once but I cant remember if it was the day of the transfer or a couple of days after. When I saw it I was thinking it was just from the transfer, but now Im thinking it could have been implantation. I had 2 grade A embies transferred on the 7th with ICSI and assisted hatching. I have 6 more days to wait and its killing me!
Can anyone out there reassure me that having no symptoms is not necessarily a bad thing. Im trying not to lose hope. This is our first IVF!
I don't think not having any symptoms is a bad thing, my sister has had two babies the first one she felt every symptom and she just knew before even testing, her second child she had no idea she was pregnant and it was a shock to everyone.
Here in Australia you are not allowed to have more than 1 embryo transferred back in general unless you have been trying for awhile or you IVF centre does not have the same rules, they have a lot of statistics and the average it takes is 2.3 cycles to get pregnant in, the majority of people.
I thought I would definately get pregnant from my first cycle but I didn't, but our Doctor learnt so much we tailored a different plan and hopefully within the next two cycles it works.
But just hang in there, you have been through so much, I would do a home pregnancy test because it would drive me crazy and start doing them each day, but this is coming from someone that opens Christmas presents a week early because it becomes too much suspense for me.
I don't think you are suppose to feel many symptoms anyway all of the Doctors say it's too early to, I rang our IVF nurse with my symptoms and she didn't say anything but I think they are trained not to get peoples hopes up or down so who knows until 5 more sleeps until blood tests!
Please take care, you will be fine!

As for me i am 39 hubby is 44, We had to pay out of pocket 15,000, No insurance here to cover. Then I only had one embie fertilize. I done a day there transfer on a 10 cell grade 4 ( highest here) .
Well my fist beta was 337 Second beta 740 .
I have had 3 ultrasounds. Soooooooooooo Beauitful . IT's the most precious thing i have ever seen.
I was weened off progestrone shots (huge needle) at 9weeks I took them everyday for 9 weeks.
So i am 10weeks 5 days and going to a regular obgyn today.
Stay positive it can and will happen.
All on God's time of course
Thank you for your encourgment, congratulations Kristina on your pregnancy only a week and a half to go until you are at the 12 week mark!
Jobygirl I know how you feel about not being pregnant on your first IVF attempt it hurts really bad, but I guess when we here success stories like Kristina's we know we can keep on going and hopefully we will be having success stories very shortly!
I am 6 days post a 5 day transfer so I am only 4 sleeps away from my blood test on Tuesday morning. My lower stomach feels tight, and all of my symptoms of cramping have gone, I am dizzy though and had a killer headache last night, I went to an Indian Restaraunt last night and my taste buds couldn't taste anything is that weird?? I have taken 3 pregnancy tests now all positive and getting easier to read, but I know I had a HCG injection now 13 days ago and hopefully it should be out of my body by now but who knows? Today is my 11th day all up and my last cycle on day 11 and 12 my period came so everytime I use the bathroom I am absolutely scared I think if I make it to Sunday I know it might of worked.
Jobygirl hang in there and keep going! I don't know what the success rates are like in the UK for IVF, here it is 2.3 cycles the average before becoming pregnant, Kristina thank you for sharing your story hopefully both Jobygirl and I will have a great story also to share with you shortly!
Take care of yourselves and loved ones

so good to hear all your stories. Me how ever, im 29 from Australia too, and have had a embryo transfer on the 22nd june. All was going well till 2 days ago, all my tests were positive, beta numbers went up to 1098 and then this week on tues i have found out i have had a miscarrage (miscarriage). I have slight bleeding now, but in the next few days as my numbers get lower my painfull period is going to start, I was and still am so devastated. I was booked in for my scan next week, but they wont do one now, as there is nothing there. I was so excited, but it was short lived. It was my first frozen cycle, and the doc seems positive that it will happen in the next one or the one after, he keeps saying at least we know you can be pregnant, but it just didnt want to stick. I feel like giving up, its so emotionally draining, but giving up isnt going to get the results now is it. I have 4 more good embies frozen, so i guess we still have a chance of pregnancy. Let me know how you girls do with your tests next week. Very happy for you all. :-)
Ella
You poor thing, I hope that you are ok? thank you for also sharing you story with us. How many IVF cycles have you been through? I know it is awful but atleast you have some frozen embryos and you do not have to start entirely from the beginning.
I had an embryo transferred last Saturday so does this mean I am 6 days post transfer (counting from Sunday - today Friday?) and that was a 5 day blastocyst.
I have been doing pregnancy tests since Wednesday all positive do you think this is too early? This is driving me insane, I don't know if the overdrill would be out of my system its been 13 days or so.
Any advice from anyone would be greatly appreciated.

I am reading allof the other posts and Iam feeling a little bit sad. I had a 3 day transfer last Sat and excitedly took a HPT on Wed (my best friend and husband warned me not too) It was negative I just thought that I would have a positive result that would give me greater hope. I am reading all of the posts that say they took a test on day 5 and they were positive.
I have had some weird feelings but I am not sure if I am noticing them more in anticipation. My hips are sore and I get some odd cramping, my breast were tender but now not so bad.
I pray every night for this and I feel for everyone who has travelled this road, nobody really understands the emotional rollercoaster and the dreams we all have to acquire a new life.
If any one has done a day 5 test and it posed negative and the results were positive in the end, I could use a little bit of positive thinking.
Bless everyone for their journey's they are travelling and all the best.
Mel
I still havent got my period, altho any day from now, still just brown discharge. I go on monday for a blood test for them to see how low the hormone is getting. Im s sick of waiting for somehting that seems so easy for everyone else around me, even those that dont want it. Its just now fair. I did a test at 5 days Mel, and it was positve for me, so hope yours sticks good! Good luck and let me know how you go.

Well i have found our on 8th july that i was pregnant, my numbers were 337. two days after this i had abit of pain and went to the hospital, and all was ok at this state, numbers had gone up to 1090 in those 2 days.
4 days after all this, i had brown spotting, went to the hospital again and they said my numbers had dropped to 860, and looks like i had a miscarrage (miscarriage), couldnt see much on the ultrasound, cos it was still too early. Well anyways, that was tuesday last week, 14th july, and i have had no bleeding or pain since. I had to go today for another blood test just to make sure that the numbers were going down like they should, and they tell me today numbers are to 3000. What the hell does all this mean????? Anyone please help
Ella may I please ask you, I am using crinone on Wednesday after my blood test they said that that night will be my last one and then I don't take anything, is that what happened to you? I thought you continue crinone until week 10?
I have my fingers crossed for you! Crazy things happen?
Mel, don't feel down, I have read all of the peoples messages all 800 of them and there were definately people that had no signs or symptoms of pregnancy and even had negative results and then they had their blood test and it was positive. My first cycle was a 3 day transfer and it didn't work, but I changed Doctors and changed plans on how to attempt IVF and we had a 5 day transfer and fingers crossed hopefully pregnancy?
Pauline thank you for your comment, I hope it has worked but Im so scared, each morning my hpt is getting darker its as dark as the control line now, I screwed up the days I was thinking it was Tuesday for my blood test but its Wednesday 2 more sleeps.
IVF is such a big emotional rollercoaster but hang in there everyone, Ella I so hope your lil baby comes back? and Mel just hang in there you never know until the blood test.

I am just checking how you are? Any sign of a period or anything starting? do you have any morning sickness or pregnancy symptoms?
Hope you are doing well, take care!

So i feel a little bit of a veteran at the IVF now i understand what most of you are going through, however, i just wanted to comment on that if you are testing yourselves on day 10 - 5 days post blastocyst transfer its still too early.. if most of you are taking progesterone shots, tablets or supositories these will give you a false positive..
I went through the same thing the first cycle testing myself and getting disappointed and driving myself crazy trust me it only makes things worse... now that i am on my third cycle i'm more relaxed because i know that all the symptoms i am feeling is due to the progesterone i am taking, it is too early for pregnancy symptoms what you are feeling is coming from the progesterone which gives you the same symptoms of being pregnant, cramping in evening, bloatedness, tiredness and breast soreness..
It hurts me to see you stress and put yourselves through testing every day, i know how hard it is to relax but doing these tests like this is more stressful then keeping yourself busy until the date you should test.. it might turn out that you are in fact pregnant and if you test yourself and don't get a positive due to HCG too low then you will just cause yourselves more stress - usually you wont get a clear positive til day 15 so if you must pee on a stick hold off til then..
I hope i don't offend anyone by posting this but i've been there as well and yes i know how much it can be a rollercoaster testing yourselves daily adds to that so why not just sit back have lunches with friends, read a good book to get lost and enjoy the ride for the final blood test.
Thank you for your post, good luck with your IVF cycle, I hope a little baby will be with you soon.
I am not defending myself but I have been taking pregnancy tests for the last 6 days and it has gotten a stronger positive, I am not obsessed with them at all, just a novelty nor do I take them as a positive that I am pregnant, tomorrow is my 16th day and my blood test and I will do a hpt before I have my blood work tomorrow because I have one left.
My first cycle didn't work and I did take only 3 hpts then I knew it didn't work so I gave up, but this cycle has been so different to my last one I know something might have happened, the crinone I take has no chemicals in which would lead to a misleading reading, I know testing early can be negative as well because you can have a miscarriage so early on.
I think when your ivf cycle becomes different to previous ones you will be using hpt, everyone deals with their ivf cycles differently and so they should, so boohoo to you.
The fact that you have been having positive with the lines getting darker is a good sign, i've never done the home pregnancy test earlier then 16th day because i was told by dr not to waste my time taking it earlier probably it would probably not be correct til after 16th day, in which case of course mine were BFN.
However i did speak to my girlfriend, after i sent the last post (Sorry again) and she told me she took the HPTs prior to 16th day and they got darker and darker as each day went on which showed her that she was pregnant.
Its a fantastic sign that your HPT's are getting darker and i'm sure that is a great sign.
Wishing you all the best tomorrow.
Don't feel bad about expressing your feelings. That's all they are. That's all we do on these forums is express our feelings, compare notes, read other's experiences in the hopes that we will find hope, closure, relief, etc.
Take care boulove and keep on keeping on w/expressing yourself. Don't feel bad about it, nor feel the need to apologize. We all do what we feel is best for us and you did what was best for you, at the time...expressing yourself/thoughts.
May God bless everyone ttc and all of the future mommies, Amen. O:-)
well im still waiting for this so called period to start, not a drop yet. No pains either, and the only sing really is that my boobs are getting bigger, but they are not very sore.. other than that i feel just fine. on friday i go in for a scan to see whats going on already. Im just sick of not knowing. :-(
Ella I feel for you, but I guess all you can do is rest and wait until Friday, hopefully the ultrasound will go well and you might find that your little embryo is holding on? Have they sent you for anymore blood tests to see if your beta has gone up?
I had my 16 day blood test early this morning and found out that I am 4 weeks pregnant my beta levels were 231, I think I am in shock after a year and a half of trying to become pregnant 2 stimulated cycles of IVF and to be pregnant I don't think I ever thought doing the IVF would work, so there is hope for everyone!
I hope everyone takes care and looks after themselves, I am really hoping that each and everyone of you will have a precious baby in their arms soon.
nah they didnt say to do any more blood tests, just got to wait till friday and see what rhe u/s shows. Im so nervous, but on the other hand i have made my peace with it already that it will be nothing. Doc sounds all good and says well if not this time it wll be soon, and that at least i know i can be pregnant. I just hope for some good news. I just dont understand why my numbers were so good and high then dropped and then went up again... weird
Congrats on your BFP!!!
God bless everyone ttc & in their 2ww., Amen.
I gotta go. One of my cats has been missing for over 3 wks, and I just got a call that she may have been found. :)))
A_Muse4u thank you as well for your sweet message and words of encouragement, i am also wanted to say that if you can do another IVF cycle it's worth the shot, my girlfriend got pregnant on her 2nd IVF attempt, as for me i dont think i'm going to be so lucky this time, i stopped taking my progesterone shots on Monday and i had mild pinching feeling in my left and right sides starting tues and weds and now last night i had the worse sharp cramps at 2am, funny thing i got these last two times as well about the third day after i stopped taking the progesterone shots..
I was wondering if you had these as well, i think the only thing holding my period back is the two progesterone tablets i'm taking daily, tomorrow is my 14th day i'm going to request for a blood test, i'm pretty sure they can detect that its negative if so then i can start back with my exercising, i'm a fitness instructor and took off working out for the past 4 weeks i just kinda want to get back to my life for summer while i take off.. obviously if for some miracle i am little positive then i'll hold off exercising til they confirm pregnancy..
Any route, i will be doing IVF again in Sept or October i may decide to go to States or Spain i'm still looking into clinics..
Hope you found your cat, i'm trying to talk my husband into getting me a Labradoodle Puppy, no baby yet, i'm ready for a pet now to mother:)
have a great day!
I'm still praying for a miracle amongst many other ones too. O:-) I want to try again, but it will probably be the last time b/c DH & I believed it would happen 4us the 1st time, last yr., in Oct 08. That BFP turned into a cp. :...(
It's funny that you ask, bc I've had no cramps at all. I do have and have had: dizziness, headaches, nausea, dry-heaves, & picky, picky, picky w/food choices more than b4. I don't know nething 'bout m/c's, either. I don't know y my body is freaking out w/prgncy-symptoms. It's just too odd. DH tell me he has the same symptoms. I just chalk-it-up to we're both getting crAZieR ttc. (?) IDK
I've been excercisin since the 14th. Maybe that's y I began spotting and bleeding. (?) I figured since the Dr. said I could b pg/not, he wasn;t sure and couldn't b definite, and asked me to back-off of the meds, slowly, I was now a BFN. IDK Today will confirm something.
Yeah. It is wise to hold off on the work-outs. During my 2ww, I did some mild pre-natal yoga and I took a 5 min walk from a hotel down the street from my house bc our a/c busted. Ugh!
Well, GL on the clinics. Hopefully you'll research the statistics/bckgrnd on 'em as well. Spain sounds cool. :)))
No. It wasn't my cat. It lOOked like her, a little. I had to drive clear across town for a BFN cat!!! This cat was long-haired. Same colors...even had the same birth-mark on her upper-rht lip, but larger, like a patch. My cat had a dot of a birth-mark. Real unique and cute. My cat has grn eyes. This cat had yellow and is pregnant. My cat was spayed in March. I mentioned the cats, at this junk yard/towing place, to DH & he wants to go pick a FREE baby cat. I didn't think he'd go for it, so I didn't bring another cat home, yesterday. We already have 2. I'll let you know if we get another. I'm sure we will. :)))
Labradoodle, WTH is that??? If there as cute as they sound, I hope your DH agrees in getting one too. O:-)
Have an awesome future, boulove. Many prayers for your wishes/hopes to be answered A.S.A.P. like NOW, Amen. O:-)
********SENDING STICKY VIBES, GLUE, & DUST TO ALL********
Take care
I just came back from Dr's office i did my Beta test it was a 9, today is day 15th, they put back eggs on day 5 but they were growing slowly they werent a full blastocyst i was told they were like a day 4 embryo.. anyway, i'm not sure that would make a difference in what my beta should be but i know it's low.. the nurse said that she can't confirm it's a negative because it's too early they had me scheduled to come in and test on monday 27th- they put back embies on July 14th..
I asked her if the number was 9 because of the two progesterone tablets i was taking and she said no, that if i came in on monday and tested with beta at 9 then she would say it was non pregnancy she wants me to continue the tablets and come test again on monday to see if they go up..
I feel like she's taking me for a ride, i've read previous post about beta numbers and most women have beta at 50 at this time.. oh well i guess i can do is hope for the best and prepare for the worse. I'm wondering if it's a 9 does that mean i possibly can get pregnant? I've never been pregnant in my life so even if it doesnt work this time is there the remote possibility i am able to get pregnant after all.. Oh Wishful thinking:)
I hope for the best for everyone. I went for my blood work and my betawasless then 3 so No pregnancy. I really never thought that I would emotionally affected the way I have been. I can not stop crying I really thought that it would work and I kept it to a low minimaum in what people I told about IVF, but those few it is so hard telling them it did not work because it brings up all of the emotions all over again. I am going to consider a second round but I am not sure. Time will tell.
All of the best.
Today, day 8 after transfer I did another HPT and got a POSITIVE ..I don't want to get to excited just in case...
Can this be true or is it to soon to tell and the progesterone and estrogen are causing the positive result? I did not have an HCG shot.
Has anyone else tested positive after 8 days?
I pray for everyone going through this.
BABY DUST TO ALL!!!
Mariah
I had a positive very faint line 4 days after a 5 day transfer, I then did a HPT every morning and it kept getting darker and about 3 days before my beta test / blood work it was so positive as much as the control line, I had my blood done and I was pregnant, so nearly 5 weeks pregnant I am now and absolutely terrified but happy.
The thing about doing HPT before your period is due is up to 60% of miscarriages occur before your period is due, so thats why a lot of people don't know that they were ever pregnant, but when you are doing IVF we are all so in tune with our bodies and wanting a pregnancy so much we know from a very early stage by testing early we might be pregnant.
As long as the positive line is getting darker and your period does not come there is a good chance that you may be pregnant, but just becareful playing around HPT because they can get your hopes up or down when really you have to hold in there for your blood work and your beta number.
I wish you so much good luck and hopefully you will have a brilliant outcome.
Take care
You poor thing you sound like you have been through soo much already! It only takes one little embryo to make a baby, a lot of people also become pregnant from a three day embryo it is all up to your body to accept it and for your lil embryo to start developing!
If you haven't already succumbed to a HPT and your blood work is set for Monday I would hang in there, your IVF cycle sounds a bit like my first one, 23 eggs that turned in to just 1 at 3 days and it wasn't even a good one, my period came on day 11 of the cycle and apparently days 11 and 12 is where your period should come or a lot do for women when their cycles were not successful, so try and hang in there.
This sounds awful but atleast if you have to go and do another stimulated IVF cycle they have learnt so much about yourself and your body where they may change your medications and try and get more successful eggs retrieved and fertilized, but hopefully it won't come to that!
Take care.
I only had one embie transfered and it stuck.
Good luck to all
mariah77/kristina1970: Yay!!! You both have BFP's!!! Congrats!!! O:-)
I'm doing alright. We had a hb of 168, but no yolk/sac. We're not feeling too strong about this. We may end up w/mc, again. O:...(
Prayers to all ttc and those who are waiting patiently for their beans to continue thriving. O:-)
I got my AF Sunday night before the test..I met with our Fertility Dr today to discuss with him removing the Fibroids. He is not suggesting we do that at this time but has no explanation why i am not getting pregnant, however, he did say it could be do to fibroids but he cant say for sure. If i have the laprascopy surgery they can remove the fibroids which are located outside the uterus in the muscle, they would have to make 4 (5cm) incisions which would leave a scar and scar tissue in the uterus making it weak which he says i could have complications with if i get pregnant that they may tear and that i would have to have a cesarian when i delivered and quite possibly the fibroids could come back. It turns out i have more then 20 and two to 3 are very large but since they are not obstructing the uterus he didn't want to remove all of them only the three large ones.
I am going to another doctor for a 2nd opinion which my dr highly recommends he's not avail til august 21st, ugh.. obviously it is a serious surgery I can't help but feel that there is a good chance that once they are removed they can also clear up the endometriosis while there for the fibroids should it turn out i have that too which would allow me to then get pregnant or at least it would increase my chances and maybe prove that this quite possibly one of the reasons i am not getting pregnant.
If i do the surgery i will have to wait 6months before we can do IVF again which would mean we would try again in January or February..We have done every test but the laprascopy at this point, it is obviously something I really need to think about but i am willing to try. I am thinking of going to the states should i not like the 2nd Dr here in singapore Dr. Suresh but i need to look into cost because it cost $8,000-$10,000usd here in Singapore. We can afford to do the IVF at least another 3x's here if we go to states we can only do 1 per year if it's more expensive then this, plus i have to include airfare and hotel.
I have friends and family living in New York, Chicago and Los Angeles where i could stay. One of my friends recommended a place in Colorado but it's not ideal because i don't have friends there to stay with. I was wondering if anyone could recommend where the best dr's office is in the US with good success rates for women around 39 and 40.
Well i'll keep in touch
boulove - I've heard that there is a center in CO (I'll try to find out the name) that is supposed to be the best for women around 40. I just turned 40 right around the time I did my first IVF - and it worked! I'm 13 weeks today. I went to GIVF in the DC metro area. They were great.
Good luck everyone!!
MGS1969: No baby in sight, just hb. Dr. said it may thrive and may not, again like w/my beta #'s. Sheesh! :(
Lyssa8288: May God bless you w/a miracle of life, Amen. O:-)
We have to save up now cuz just built a house in bali which we have to make final payment for, ugh, love the house, wish we had waited..
A_Muse4u, How are you doing? I am sending you prayer everynight that your lil bou thrives and sticks, stay strong! Thank you for being here as a friend it's really nice to know you are there, ditto!
Imj: I never had those symptoms-maybe they are from the meds did you call your dr to find out if that is a side effect. Try not to stress, i know thats hard knowing you test soon but the more you can relax the better for your lil bou.. try to keep your mind off it by reading or watching funny movies:)
Lyssa8288: I'm here rooting for you-it only takes one so stay positive and send your lil bou love to grow and stick, get lots of rest:)
My Update:
Well I went to see 2 other top Dr.'s here in singapore. 2nd Dr. Chen said i should've never done any of the IVF's in the first place that he can't believe that the other dr's said that i dont need to have my fibroids removed and that he would want to remove them because intraumural and they are in fact pressing on the lining of my uterus distorting its shape and that i have an unfit uterus for pregnancy I have 8 that 5cm and rest are too many to count my uterus is riddled with them which he would have to correct first. He said he'd want to remove as many as possible..(i'm a little concerned because other two dr's said they only wanted to remove 2 or 3 large ones they did not want to have to try to get all the small ones because the scaring would leave my uterus weak and that i wouldn't be able to do IVF again for anther 6months and that the scar tissue left behind could possibly tear once i get pregnant)
Dr. Chen's response to that is that if it is done by a good surgeon then the uterus will be fine and that he has a special method of sewing up after taking out that helps to reinforce the uterus and that we could do the IVF as soon as 2 months depending on how i heal, he said that if i was told 6 months to heal then that Dr is not an experienced surgeon removing fibroids. (hmm, he's 180 degree in opposite direction of other dr's, now i don't know what to believe so i have another scheduled appointment with the Dr. my current Dr. highly recommended said he is very good who is also the DR of my friend who just got pregnant Dr. Suresh Nair from Mt. Elizabeth here in singapore he is also a very experienced surgeon removing fibroids and uses microbiotics,.)
Another thing Dr Chen said is that he does the DNA fragmentation testing and that my husbands sperm needed to be tested because he wanted to make sure that there wasnt a problem with his DNA and my muscous which could help to rule out if our embryo's are really good that they may look good but if the DNA sperm is not tested he cannot conclude that the embryo's are really in fact the best and that he does this process and can select the absolute best sperm based on the DNA fragmentation test. He also said he wanted to do a check up on my Husband because he said that he has a problem with his sperm morphology (quality which is a 5 it has gone up last three months from 2 -5, 14 is the best so he is still below average, my DH sperm count 64mil and other counts good) He said after my husband takes the test for DNA fragmentations he'd want to examine him to see why he is having the problem with the morphology which means he would also want to do a lapraroscopy on him to check to see if he has vericiose veins which would need to operated on this would help morphology- needless to say i was a little put back by this comment because, the funny thing is i spoke to another Dr LC Foong at Glen Eagles day before and he told me that my DH sperm looked good that since we are doing ICSI he has enough % of good sperm and that he did not feel we needed to do anything further to investigate my DH and that he preferred we concentrate on me. Dr. Foong also warned me that Dr. Chen would definitely want to operate to remove my fibroids and that he would also probably suggest that my husband needs an operation as well.
Oh, I've decided to wait to see what Dr. Suresh from Mt E says, i'm at my wits end now and starting to doubt fertility dr's here in singapore they go from one extreme to the other. I want to find a fibriod specialist who can be honest with me.
I also just got another Dr.'s name from a colleague who was recommended by a DR from a university who is suppose to specialize in fibroid removal so I guess I'll go for two more counsiltations to decide how many fibroids really should be takien out.
Whew! I'm beat and fatiqued have not been able to sleep from all the worry over these darn fibroids- i pray that the next two dr's can help me and i feel they are competent otherwise, looks like i will definitely fly to states to get a piece of mind.
You're veRy welcomed to as a friend on here and as a friend in need. Just don't forget it, k? Take care boulove and I pray everything works out for the best for you & DH. I'm praying for you two, too. O:-)
I've been reading through the post and I can relate to almost everything that everyone has written. I remember thinking to myself that the whole procedure should be simple. I never had a problem getting pregnant in the past...so it should be a breeze. Well it was everything BUT a breeze. The 1st cycle they retrieved 9 eggs 7 mature 5 fertilized and three days later I only had 1 that was fit for transfer. I was so upset at retrieval that I cried...my husband at my side said everything would be alright...but I just didn't feel that way. I wanted more eggs. I remember at transfer I cried some more because we only had one egg and I dreamt of having triplets. 5 days after transfer I caught the HPT's, I went out and bought Hpt's and tested. Oooh my God I had a faint pink line...I did the same the next day and there was no line. I knew that I must have tested to early. Anyway I continued to test every day sometimes twice a day and I still got a negative result. At that point I realized that it was a failed cycle...in fact the day of beta after having my blood drawn I went up to my doctors office and told them that I just had the bloodwork done but I know that it's negative and I want to go ahead a schedule the next cycle. They told me that I would have to wait to meet with the Dr. and we could go from there. Well of course the next day they called and told me what I already knew. After reading all the post here I just felt that because I wasn't seeing the same things that everyone else was seeing and experiencing I couldn't be pregnant and I wasn't. I never gave up on God. I knew that He would not bring me this far and abandon me. They wanted to schedule my second cycle for August...I asked to put on the cancellation list and they put me there. About two weeks after my consultation with the dr they call and told me that they could get me in earlier...I was so happy and thank God once again for geting to work on my situation. I had such high hopes and thought that this time things were going to be better. Well at the time of retrieval they were only able to get 3 eggs...I was so upset I cried like no tomorrow...but I gave an honor to God because these three eggs could be the triplets that I dreamt of. The next day they called and told me that only one egg was mature and could be fertilized. I don''t have to tell you the amount of frustration that I felt...in the past I had eggs that fertilized and arrested in development so I didn't know what to think...I was scared. The dr called me the night before transfer and told me that we were still on for in the morning...honestly I didn't hold out much hope. It just so happened that my son was having surgury the same day as transfer and my husband had to work. It all worked out and I was able to make it on time to transfer. When I got there the dr told me that my one egg was only at 4 cells which was perfectly fine and it had one vacuale. Basically it had an air pocket...in her opinion the egg was still top quality and fit for tranfer...but in my mind I wanted that perfect 8 celll embryo. My Dr. schedule my beta for 10dpt...I really didn't know what to think. 7dpt I caught the Hpt's again and I was testing. I wish that I could say that I got that pink line but I didn't...in fact when I tested the next day I got another negative and the day after that the same thing still negative. I was so upset and fed up I started to look for another RE and scheduled an appointment for next week. The day of beta I didn't even care about going to have the test done I just didn't care to hear about another negative. Eventually about 3pm I went to the lab to have it done. I called this morning to get my results and the nurse told me that she would have to call me back because the Dr. had the results and she was in with another patient. My thought...shoot just hurry up and call me back because I'm tired and I wanna go back to sleep. Well in less then ten minutes that Dr. called me back and told me that I was PREGNANT!!!!! OOOH MY GOD!!!! she told me that my beta number was 43 and that was good for being 10dpt. She told me that I would have to go for another beta on Monday...I was speechless. After I hung up the phone all I could do was fall to the floor and thank God for the Marvelous work that He has done. I'm sharing all of this because IVF is one of the most stressful events a woman will endure. Any woman ttc wants to know or hear that she is pregnant. But putting any type of money on the accuracy of a Hpt is one of the last things that you can do!!!! IVF is a roller coaster ride from the beginning all the way to the end. And even though I have gotten a positive beta I know that I am still not out of the woods until I'm holding our bundle of joy in my arms. All I can say is hold on to your FAITH in God and He will deliver you.
Ella598 I want you to know that you are in my prayers as is everyone else ttc....an abundance of BAST DUST to all.
I have some bad news, my pregnancy has ended at 7.5 weeks. I have found out now that i have an ovarian cyst, water cyst they call it and said its not dangerous and it will go away on its own. Its quite big, 10x7cm. I have pain on the bottom right hand side where the cyst is. If i stay still and not move much im ok, but any movement gives me grief. Has anyone else had cysts and what did you do...? Im really worried about it and i just want it to go away.
I am really sorry about your bad news, I hope that you are okay.
I have had many cysts, depending on what type of cyst you have is then to what treatment you have, I had a cyst for 2 years which would push up on my stomach and then make me constantly vomit and in unbearable pain, I was ony 18 and I would go to the Emergency in the Hospital and they would tell me that it was something bad I ate and that it would go away, they never bothered to do an ultrasound or ct scan after going to accident and emergency about 4 times with the same problems a Doctor did a CT scan and found I have a cyst the size of a tennis ball and that it would be surgically removed so I had a laparoscopy which back in 2001 was new technology before that it was a c section, in surgery they found I also had a 5cm cyst and looking at the surgery photos they looked like little aliens or those big American gobstoppers / jawbreaker lollies.
I have had several laparoscopies to remove cysts because mine would not go away naturally, it is soooo common though for all women to experience cysts but not know that they are even there because they naturally go away, I have also had cysts where they would burst you are in some pain for about 24 hours whilst your body copes with the discharge of old materials it has gathered.
Nothing really to worry about it will go away if the Doctor says it will, people have cysts everywhere on their kidneys etc and depending on the type will naturally go away or be surgically removed.
I hope this helps, but definately you will feel bloated and sore but it will go away if it hasn't within a few weeks I would go get an ultrasound or if you have private healthcare you can elect to have it removed. I am a radiographer and have seen quite a lot of cysts on peoples legs, arms, kidneys, lungs and ovaries, nothing to worry about!!
Just try and relax and maybe get one of those body pillows and sleep, take some mersyndol!
Take Care
Yeah my cyst is 10x7, and it hurt a lot when i move. If i find a position where i can sit still or lie down im ok, but going to the toilet and stuff that hurts. If i didnt have this i wouldnt be as half as sick. Its just one thing after another really, just sick of it all.
I haven't been feeling well for a few days I had some weird discharge so I went to the emergency room, after waiting several hours they took bloods, urine sample and then I had to wait another few hours, my HCG / Beta came back as 16225 it has risen from 231 or 232 to this in the last 10 days my readings are as high as they should be for if I was 9-11 weeks pregnant not 5 weeks and about 4 days, I had a Doctor from Sweden and I could barely understand his english but he was joking how many embryos I got put back in? he was definately a character!
So now I have to go to the early pregnancy clinic, I rang my IVF place they are suppose to look after you until you are 7 weeks / find a heartbeat but basically I got told to find my own treatment tomorrow, it's 6am and I am worried writing this, they didn't say anything about the discharge at all just more about the high levels and that the Doctor thought it was funny after nearly 7 hours in the emergency room they didn't really help me.
Any help is much appreciated if anyone had high levels and it turned out normal??
I had my ivf cycle cancelled due to high estrogen levels...It's devastating. I expect to have another attemp on the August 11. I really like reading these posts..gives me comfort.
Good luck to you all!
I also had a 5 day transfer by the Wednesday I had a positive line very faint but each day it got darker, it would of been 4 days after the 5 day transfer so on day 9 all up, just becareful because the majority of miscarriages happen between this time and the missed period time, but I will have my fingers crossed.
I am 6 1/2 weeks pregnant today so it can happen!!
Goodluck but try not to get your hopes up if it is positive still around the 11th I would say it is positive. Depending on what type of medications you used during your cycle some medication can give a false reading of a positive but many people on here will tell you its out of your body by now.
Take care
Congrats for you!! I am glad that you are prego!
I just going to keep praying and hope that it will be positive in a few days!
Thanks again!
Usually the nurses downplay any positive pregnancy tests or even negative ones until the actual blood test because they don't want peoples hopes to be up or down. 2 days before my blood test we told our nurse that we had positive tests and she didn't say much except maybe it could be, they are really trained to be optimisitic, the morning of my blood test though the nurse congratulated me even before the blood test.
If by day 11 or 12 of the whole IVF counting from the day after egg retrieval you have not had a period you are looking pretty good with a faint positive test line so fingers crossed!
Good Luck!!!
I am so glad that I have had this forum to look at during the past few days I dont know how I would be getting through this on my own. I thank you so much for all your help!
Just wanting to know how your blood test went?? I guess it will be in the next day or so?
Goodluck!
Congratulations!!! ahh now the two week wait turns in to the 12 week wait now!! and then the 9 month wait and worry then the up to 18 years old worry!!
You must be absolutely thrilled! Congratulations!!! I hope everything goes smooth for you!
Take Care!!
I went to OBGYN yesterday and all is great.
I am 15 weeks pregnant and high risk cause i am 39.
Next month i find out what sex the baby is.
I bought a fetal doppler off the internet and i liston to the baby everyday.,
It is a great comfort. Heartbeat stays in the 150's
Life's Good
I had 2 ectopic pregnancies last year, and am totally tubeless now! Watching the beta's rise became a ritual for me during the 2 ectopics, so I know how stressful that can be!
Thank you to all of you for posting, and the support this brings. I am so tempted to do a HPT but will wait ....
Are you having any symptoms yet?
This is my 3rd IVF and the 1st IVF I didn't POAS but last cycle I did almost every day once I passed the the 7dpt.
First of all Congrats to ya all that's gotten positive beta results. I'm hoping for some advise or sharing from you since I'm due for a beta test on 3Sep. I did a Day2 ET on 19Aug. Had right abs cramping and sore / tender breasts after 2 days from ET.
However, my cramping has sort of subsided so is the breast tenderness today. Was also wondering if any ladies out there experience mucus-like discharge? I've been experiencing this for the past 3 days. It could be due to the Crinone insertion but it's more watery than the crinone cream. Also noticed a fall in body temperature this a.m. [8/30]. Wonder if I should be concern. I keep thinking that I'm having my period when it's the mucus discharge.
Guess I need to ring up the Dr's office to find out but would like to find out if this symptom is experienced by anyone else.
Good luck & loads of baby dusts to all the moms-to-be.
My husband and I have been trying to concieve for 2 years. We had one failed IVF and one failed IUI. This is our second IVF, 10/25 we had our first transfer of two blast one of which had already started to hatch(the embryologist said that was very good). That day I felt fine but on Saturday I had some vaginal cramping that did not feel like period cramps. I am currently on Progesterone shots, yesterday and today I had slight nausea. I think it may have been from my nerves. But the last 3 days I have felt very constipated, I have been able to go but I am very afraid to push as I don't want my period to start. So my stomach feels a little hard and last night my hips bothered me. Today, 5 days after transfer I took an HPT and it was negative. I am very upset about this. But I had to keep it to my self cause my husband says to just wait for the blood work on 10/6. I don't think he knows how difficult this is since all I see is ladies that are not even trying to concieve so easily get pregnat around me. I took the test just thinking maybe it would be positive since I am have ceratin feeling that I have not had before.
This is such an amotional rollercoaster, and a negative HPT tonight did not help at all. Has anyone taken an HPT on day 5 of there transfer and gotten a positve result for prenancy on there blood work? Also, I am due to get my period 10/1 or 10/2 so I am very nervous about the next few days.
Sorry if I am disappointing you, but I am kind of negative right now bc of how bad my cramps are right now. Best of luck to you! Please keep me posted!!
Best of LUCK TO YOU TOO LADIES ALSO, If you don't mind me asking how did your bw go?
I've been disappointed twice now, with the first cycle resulting in a twin pregnancy that I ended up miscarrying in the fifth month, and the 2nd cycle resulting in negative results. I honestly do not know how I'll deal with negative results this time around.
PLEASE GOD MAKE MY BLOOD WORK ON 10/8 NORMAL....
deelightfuldee-Best of luck with your bw on 10/8, think baby dust.
I've since take two more hpt (since the box came with three I figured I might as well use them). I don't know if it's my imagination, but the line seemed a little darker each day. To be honest with you, I honestly do not know how I will function at work tomorrow until I get that call. In the mean time I keep getting those funny/cramply feelings in my stomach.
Thanks for the luck and I'll definitely think baby dust. I'll keep posted as to the bw.
I can't wait to hear the updates from both of you.
I am very happy today my other bw good back good. I was told my pregnancy was progressing to keep up with my progesterone injects and endo inserts, and I go back on 10/18 for OB Ultrasound. Yeappeee! So tomorrow I will be 2wks. An from now until 10/18 which happens to be my DH and I Anniversary. I will just be taking it easy.
delightfuldee-How did you bw go today?
Thank you ladies so much for listening and chatting back, it really helps.
As for me, my bw came back positive. My Beta was 135 and my progesterone level was at 19.5. My doctor didn't say why, but she increased my progesterone intake from 1CC to 1.5CC. I asked her why and all she told me was that it couldn’t hurt. Does any know what the level should be at 8 days post transfer? I can’t help but wonder if there is something she is not telling me.
Also with regards to my Beta, she said it was good. Does 135 sound good or bad to u? I go back on 10/12 again to test the levels again and I’m praying that I’ll be as blessed as you, robswife80. I’ll keep you posted on the results. However, I’m still feeling a little crampy. I’m trying not to think about it though.
MGS1969:
Thanks for the sticky vibes. I’ll take all of it right about now. BTW, I noticed that you had your bw on the same day as mine. I hope everything worked out for you. Best of luck to you!!
So exciting to get good news from both of you!!!
this is my first go at ivf and i am 25 years old, i hope someone can give me some good advice and well done to all of you that are expecting! well done!!
Question for you MGS1969, do you recall the crampy feeling when away? Just curious.
Best of luck!!
in the meantime, is there anyone out there that has a high fsh? if so, what was your outcome and what were the details.
i am 27. i have a 6 yr old. and i have an fsh of 36. i have my blood test on oct 20. i'm feeling down and nervous but after reading all your comments, i am trying to say positive.
please help
I am very excited and yes there is a lot to celebrate, today I had my fist OB Ultrasound . OMG I heard my baby heart beat!. It was still very faint but but to me it sounded strong, and my doctor said everything looked GOOD. My doctor said I am 5 weeks 6 days. That is the best anniversary gift I could have ever recieved! I go for another Utrasound next Sunday, and my OB ext visit 2weeks after that. OMG I'm goona be a MOM!
Hi,
Please dont give up yet, your test is on Thursday wait till then. Some people do get early +ve tests however I have read that some people can have -ve results up until day of test (and even over in some cases) and then the HCG is seen in the blood test. Keep hoping till test. My test is tomorrow and i tested yesterday afternoon and it was negative but trying to keep calm and hopeful as AF is not here yet and until tomorrow 14dp3dt it isn't over
Has anyone taken a test at home and came back Negative but then went to their Dr. and blood work came back positive.
I wish all the families luck in their processes and Congrats to the successful stories.
Hi my test is tomorrow (I am in Africa and it will be 14dp3dt) and i will let you know what happens.
rainshine24, you did not mention n which day you did your transfer but whether it was a day 3 or day 5 transfer there is always hope until your test. I am in same situaion got neg on day 12 however, I have spent my 2 weeks reading up on every website and many of the forums here and there have been many cases where its a negative HPT but on day of test its turned out to be positive. So until tomoorow when i have that bloodtest and get the result it isnt over.
secondivf, please dont worry about it being a 3dt, there are lots of ladies in this forum and others that have gone onto have healthy babies on 3dt. I believe being positive helps in the process, it may be my 1st IVF but I tried many years with treatment (endometriosis) before i had my daughter naturally and we are talking 6/7 yrs. You still have a chance yes you do so please hold onto that until the 22nd.
SSBD to you both and all the ladies xxx
This is my first IVF after 3 failed IUI's. I had 19 eggs harvested, 15 fertilized and at day 5 two transfered and 6 frozen. I am now on 2ww with BT due this Friday.
I did a HPT at day 5PT and got negative, then again day 7PT & 8PT tested and have had 2 positive results which leaves me cautiously excited. Thing is other than odd twinge or cramping i dont "feel" any different! I am not sleeping real well and do get the odd hot flush at night but figured that was the crimone which seems to have its own symptoms aswell!
Good luck all
M
I am still crampy once in a while, my breast are not too sore any more. I did have a very little brownish spotting...very litte. I am hoping these are all signs of being pregnant. So I will have my test on Friday and try to get online and let you know what happens, but I may be in flight when I hear the news.
How did you do today at the Dr.
take care
in the beginning of all this, i was told that i had less than a 1% chance of achieving pregnancy. i dont wanna jinx myself but i just wantedt to spread hope to all the ladies out there who are hoping for a baby.
i will update again this friday when i go in for another blood test.
A_Muse4u, secondivf2009---Thank you for the kind words, and I wish the best for you. I wish the best to all of us, and lots of STICKY BABY DUST!!!
To All - Just one more sleep till BT!!!! I hate this waiting as i am so nervous the POAS might be flawed (although hoping now 4 positive sticks means positive bloods to come)
Hi, I cant believe it I wrote a long message yesterday and unfortunately the electricity went out, lost message and by the time generator came back on, lost internet access.
Anyway gist of it was, is that I had my test yesterday and it was negative and yes I was sad but I wanted to share something with you ladies please read The New Earth by Erckhart Tolle, it really helped me yesterday and today I have woken up feeling even better. I really want a baby and am jumping back on the train in January (so anyone out there please pick me up) but I need to appreciate what I already do have, these last two weeks the things I couldnt do I am looking forward to doing, a glass of wine, swimming, my excercise, picking and dropping my daughter up from school. little things that I have taken for granted. Am going to the UK for xmas so planning that. He also talks about the situation we find ourselves in and our emotions when dealing with such "situations", the situation may not change but how we deal with it (our emotions we have control over). It may seem overtly simple and patronising and I dont mean for that, what I am saying is that it has helped me and I am chosing to handle my grief and sadness in a positive way- my sister who is 16 weeks pregnant has arranged a girls night out on friday and I am looking forward to it. Please pick up the book if you can.
Will be popping in to check and anyone for January please let me know. In the mean time SSBD to you all xxx
sorry forgot to mention my super partner who has been there for me through it all, yesterday he spent the most of the day trying to comfort me and suddenly it hit me that he too was gutted once I realised that I wrote him a letter saying how sorry I was that it didnt work out and gave him some hope. My wonderful family, each and everyone came by or called. So I have a lot to be happy about.
Best wishes x
However I am still waiting on a call back from my Dr. Not sure if he still wants me to take another blood test....more depressing news to look forward to.
Like Wishdrop, I am hoping after this trip to make the best of my life and not think about what we want but enjoying everything we already have, family, friends, our pets! I am hoping to go to NC for a weekend for Xmas, I plan to get back into shape and maybe finishing up some scrapebooking! Don't get me wrong I am sad but I know I do not want to be sad the rest of my life. We plan to take break for a while and maybe later down the road we will try IVF again.
GOOD LUCK TO ALL THE LADIES!!!
The doc summed it up to "failure to implant". That is where the prayin comes in. You can do everything right,but we need prayer for God to help the implantation take place, stick, and grow. So sad about your recent news.
May God bless us all this year and always, Amen. O:-)
I am so happy for you. congraaaaatultions
Now i am still in my 2ww my blood test is schedule this coming oct 28 and oct 31. i had my transfer last oct 14, and i am really excited to try home pregnacy but i might be disappointed with the result so i decided to wait till oct 28. like you i dont know my chances are. cause they transfer 4 embryos at only day 2. i dont know if we have bigger chances, we ask the embryologist why it is on d-2 other d-3 or d-5. they said that i only have 4 embryos and we dont have to wait that long my 2 embryos are only 2 cell at d-2 and the other 2 is just starting. so i dont know my chances...still we are hoping to be positvie...
secondivf2009: I agree. The first time was "really" devastating for both DH & I. We both believed that was "really" it! It wasn't. I decided to try again. DH didn't want to, but he went along w/me to make me happy, of course. After the 2nd try, I suggested divorce so he could have a try having a family of his own with someone who could. I already have 2 sons from a previous marriage. DH told me he loved me and will continue doing so with or w/o me having his child. So, here we are.........I will try again when I get ahold of more $$$$. Hopefully, it will be soon.
DH & I are still searching for jobs. I got 2 interviews, so far, and DH got 1 and still no employment. Please, you all prayed for us to get BFP'S, now, I'm asking for prayers to bless us w/awesome jobs.........so we can try again. O:-)
Take care and prayers to everyone to be as blessed as they've ever been capable of being moreso this year than ever and throughout eternity, Amen. O:-)
i will let you know how it goes.
Does anyone have advice/experience in regards to the bleeding?
i will let you know how many heartbeats they find when i go in for my first ultrasound nov. 5th.
Good luck everyone...lots of sticky wishes!!
good luck to everyone!
M
Good luck with the ultrasound tomorrow ...am excited for you & looking fwd to hearing the results!! All the best..
M
this has been a crazy journey and i pray for us all.
to all those in waiting, dont lose hope, have faith, and keep praying.
I had 3rd bloods today so am at 6weeks 2 days and am at 47500! May explain why i feel so **** most of the time now...
thanks ladies for your encouragement and please keep me posted on your journey as well.
yeehhar, i think you are having twins for sure!
i had 5 embryos transferred, 4 were grade 1 and 1 was grade 2. so i'm thinking the grade 2 was the one that survived. makes sense right??
We were lucky enough to have 8 left over for freezing just incase we need them later on...
although after this last 4 days of being so ill i not sure i would be up for doing it all again - although how quickly one forgets may be another thing !! lol...
Well 1 more sleep and i will know whats causing me to feel like this! ;)
I will let you know how we go!
M
i truly believe that's what carried me thru.
Good Luck :)
