This is only my 2nd post and I still really don't know where to start, so ok here goes... As you can probably see from my signature, I am 39, my DH is 41 and we've been trying to conceive since October 2009. In a nut shell, I got pregnant in March of last year, but very early on it was...

Well dang it. AF arrived this morning about 1 hr before my scheduled beta. All the nurses at the REs office were wonderful. I tried to keep a stiff upper lip, but freaked out on my husband just a few minutes ago - now feeling guilty about that. He was pretty understanding. Anyway, I only had one...

Hi, everyone, I'm a bit worried. I just had my ER from our first IVF (no embryos) 2 weeks ago and they've started on the antagonist protocol now. I guess I thought I'd have a month between IVF's to get all the meds out of my body and give myself some time to heal. It took me about a week and...

On Sunday I had my first ever injection of Gonal F as first attempt at IVF. Unfortunately, I had a reaction ... about 15 minutes after the injection, my throat felt swollen inside and 45 minutes after the injection, the inside of my cheeks was slightly swollen. Has anyone ever experienced this?...

Hi Ladies, I just found out today that on 6w1d U/S that I am miscarrying after 1st ivf . It didn't came as a surprise as my beta started low, even though it kept rising. I am still heartbroken as I was expecting a miracle and hope got enlightened every time beta doubled although it was very...

Need some encouragement and insight from those who have gone thru this or still going thru this. I have PCOS and have done 3 IUI cycles one resulting in Chem and 2 BFN. This year we moved on to IVF hoping this was the answer... Just completed our first IVF with a BFN. The RE said he believes it...

After 4 failed IUIs, doing all the shots, meds, tests... We tried IVF in Jan...BFN. We did the Attain Program, which gives 2 fresh, and 2 FET. Only had 4 eggs to start, 3 fertilized, 2 left at transfer, so no FET. Transferred both, and still BFN. Since the numbers were so low, even though my doctor...

Hi all, :hismilie: When my DH and I first started this, my initial u/s showed I was ovulating. :D We all were hopefull including RE. Well, long story short, this is my second go around with IVF. I didn't get very far. I produced no eggs from my FSH protocol :confused: . Everything I was...

Hi Everyone. I have been on a long 5 year journey of TTC. I was DX with pelvic adhesions and had a laporoscopy 2 years ago to help get pregnant. Since then I miscarried twice and had one ectopic which required surgery to remove it. We decided to move on to IVF as my tubes were not in great...

Hello Ladies, I had my first failed IVF cycle about 2 weeks ago. Sometime during the IVF treatment, I started overeating. I thought it would go away, but it hasn't! Help!!! Has this happened to any of you?!!!

Hi, this is my first ever post. I'm looking for hope because I'm feeling so alone. DH has a balanced translocation and our first IVF with ICSI failed. We didn't even have enough embryos to send off for PGD. RE recommended just transferring the 2 that were still growing by Day 3, but no luck. We...

Failure is key to success(ful) Failure!!??? .. yep... that's what has happened.. 2nd try at IVF and my RE just called and confirmed the dreadful news..BFN I asked him what would the problem be.. he said either its the embryos or the lining.. we will have to discuss that if you wish to see...

Hello, My wife and I, recently experienced what so many have experienced, heartache. The road to conception is not easy, we know. The struggle to fight for your dreams is a fight that so many know nothing about, but there is someone who cares, God. I wrote the following blog post to encourage...

This is my first post. I have been lurking, and finally have the nerve to post. We just underwent a failed IVF with Dr. Zouves (our first). I am just wondering how long we should stick with one clinic before switching? I like the doctor, the office, the staff, everything was great. We had a...

Hi everyone. This is my first post in a fertility forum (I've been reading through them for months!)... I guess I am finally starting to accept this is going to be a part of my life. I just went through my first cycle with Chlomid + HCG Trigger + IUI, (I'm also on Metformin)... and it failed. I...

I had my first IUI on Feb 7, with 100mg Clomid from day 4-8 +trigger shot + Prometrium 2 days after IUI. RE told me I had 4/5 big follicles and it was looking good except my lining is a bit thick (14mm). But she said it's still ok. I was so hopeful that this can be my turn to get pregnant. But...

I am 42 and just got a negative beta result today after transferring 2 frozen blastocysts. Surprisingly, my strongest emotion today has been GUILT. With a side of fear. I do have 4 more frozen blastocysts to try, which helps, but they are graded lower than today's so I do not know what to think...

So after I stopped the FET meds and got my "period", I ended up with a nasty headache. Has anyone else experienced this?

Please tell me, do you have a secret not to cry your brains out every time you get your period? My DH and I have been trying for 1 year and 7 months, 1 year of 7 months of pain and tears every time I get my period, every time I hear someone else is pregnant or gave birht (and trust me there have...
