FET number of embies transfered

[WHITTFRED]

I had my FET today and they was suppose to transfer 3 but only one made it so they transfered one. Has any one ever had 1 embie transfered and had a pregnancy occur?

[KellyD0731]

That would be me!

I went through 3 fresh IVF cycles this year with no luck and we had 1 frozen snow baby and my RE has told us through the last few months they always prefer to transfer at least 2 because it cost the same but the chances increase.  Well....we never had a chance to have more than 1 because none of our embies ever made it to be frozen other than the 1.

I had the one transferred in on 9/18 and I am now 7 weeks preggo!  I had symptoms at 5 days after transfer and POAS that night and got a faint positive.  I went for my first u/s today and saw the heartbeat and my strong little bean.

I wish you all the best of luck!

Thanks for the information, I was not feeling so good about the 1 snow baby being transfered but now knowing that some one else had only one transfered it gives me hope.  How long did you stay on bed rest and what was some of your first symtoms? I here some say that they had cramping after the transfer but I had mild cramps and sorry for this next statement ( I also was bloated with gas) I know that's TMI!  I am so happy for you.  I will keep you updated on my progress.  Thanks again!

Hi Kelly! I had a transfer 4 days ago 10/11 - 3 embies. That was my third ivf (other two failed - first time only 1 embie was trf and second time 3 were trf). This time, from the first day of trf I am bloated and I can not fit my regular pens and I have mild cramps sometimes plus my back hurts while I am sleeping. I hope these are good signs.        P.S/ What it means POAS and TMI?

[WHITTFRED]

POAS= Peeded on a stick
TMI = too much information

[dorti]

ha,ha,thanks:)

[WHITTFRED]

Just checking to see how you are doing any change in symptoms.  I feel nothing but I am still remaining prayerful.  I go on Monday to have my levels checked so I will keep you updated.

[mommyin10]

Definitely don't lose hope! :)  I had a single embryo transfer (regular IVF cycle) in July and it actually split, so I'm 16 weeks pregnant with identical twins.  Keep yourself relaxed & let's pray your little snow baby gets a good grip!  Best wishes to you =)

[WHITTFRED]

Thanks for the advice, did you have any symptoms during your tww and also did you stay resting for most of you tww.  I am 4dpt and I am having mild cramps off/on, tired but that could be from the progesterons shots.  I am praying that this little one sticks.  Any advice you can give will sure be welcomed.

[dorti]

6dpt - I have a headache all day off&on. I also had a hot flash due to my headache. I do not feel any cramping and no bleeding. I feel tired and kind of sleepy but that could be due the rainy weather. So many women have these cramping which I do not have. I am just bloated. My DH wants me take hpt. I read some girls had positive just after 6 dpt. What do you think?

[mommyin10]

I, too, felt mild cramping off & on from 3-5 days post transfer & on that 5th day, I remember feeling a really strong, but quick cramp that I thought in my mind could be implantation...  The next day my hpt was negative, but the day after, it was a faint positive, which got darker each day thereafter.  I definitely did stay resting after my transfer.  I was on strict bedrest for 48 hours and then I really took it easy after that.  No heavy lifting, lots of rest & I remember eating a lot of fruit :)  When is your beta?

[WHITTFRED]

My beta is on 26 Oct but I go in on Monday to have my levels checked.  All the symptoms that I had seem to go away today.  But I do notice that I have most of my symptoms when I wake up in the morning.  I am praying hard that this little bean sticks because I really don't wanna have to go through this again.

[dorti]

My bw is also on 26 Oct 9:30 am, then they will call me few hours later. I think I will take hpt soon. If I would got my period what day should I count from - from the last period or from the day of transfer? That would be about one week difference. Taking progesterone would change that?

[WHITTFRED]

You will count from the day of the transfer, progesterone will not have any effects on the test results.  How have you been feeling?  

[mommyin10]

dorti:  As long as it's been 10+ days since you took your HCG trigger shot, you can go ahead & test :)  I couldn't wait either.  I first got a negative (which at least means the HCG is out of your system) and the next day got a faint +, which turned darker each day thereafter.  Good luck!

whittfred:  My strongest symptom was that my bbs felt like bricks, they hurt so bad!  It was worst when I got up out of bed.  I don't know if it's a pregnancy symptom or not because it was also my first time doing progesterone injections as opposed to suppositories.  Either way, that was my #1 difference :)  Good luck!  It looks like you & dorti will be testing in just one week!!!

[WHITTFRED]

one week feels like forever.  I have one more questions and its TMI but was you gassy during your tww?  My symptoms seems to be going away and that worries me.  I know that it is still really early I had my transfer on the 14th and I go in the morning to have my levels checked.

[SueGre]

Hey, on what dpo did your bbs feel like bricks? Mine feel sore and a little bloated, but not much to speak of. Today I developed tiny pimples around my mouth and jawline. Did you have breakouts in the tww?

[dorti]

OK guys I just took hpt (3dt was done on 10/11 - 7 days ago) unfortunately: negative. I do not what to think. Mommyin you took your test on 5dpt and it was positive. Was it  3dt or 5dt?  I know it might be too early to test but I am already worry.

[WHITTFRED]

You are testing too early.  Everybody will implant at different times, don't give up hope we are still in the race.  Also so women don't have a positive until the day before their beta and others will have a negative urine and a positive blood.

[dorti]

Thanks WHITTFRED! I know it might be too early but I am thinking about it all the time. I could not help it. No, I did not loose my hope. Thanks once again. Did you have 3dt or 5dt? My RE does not check my levels  before my blood work. Do you think it is necessary?

[mommyin10]

Dorti: I agree with whittfred. It's too early. My faint +hpt was 7dpt, not 5 & I'm sure it was early. I had severe cramping that lasted maybe 30-40 seconds on 5dpt, at 6dpt my hpt was negative. The next day, I got a faint +. I did a 5-day transfer. Definitely don't lose hope. A negative hpt means the hcg is definitely out of your system. Wait a few days & then test again, but it's true that we all test + at different times. I'm sure my faint + was early & maybe it's because I'm carrying twins? Who knows, but stay positive & keep your head up :)

Sue: I didn't get pimples & my bbs started hurting right away, maybe 3-4 dpt. It could have been because of the progesterone injections. I don't know, but they still occasionally get that sore ;)

whittfred: I know, it's easy for me to say it's just a week away! I'm sorry. I was the same way waiting for my beta. Keep your mind occupied & don't lose hope. We all read do much into our symptoms, but even being pregnant with twins, I never got sick, barely got nauseous. So, it's true that our bodies all react differently & yes, I was super gassy! Bloated & gassy, not pretty :) haha!

[mommyin10]

I didn't have my levels checked before my beta either.

[WHITTFRED]

By the way I did a 3dt.

[dorti]

Did you have your levels checked today? What is the result?

[WHITTFRED]

yes, My progesterone was above 20 and my E2 was also normal, so they said that my level look good but they said that last time and I was bfn (negative).  How are you feeling today?
