Hi, I am going crazy with doing HPT's after my first ever IVF cycle. I went in for my beta on 9 days post 5-day transfer and it was positive (this was 3 days ago). My doctor said my number was good but I don't know what the exact number was. I have been doing HPT's because I would think that if my...

Hello! I had a failed FET in March and am now in the beginning stages of making decisions for a try at a full IVF cycle. I am 42. I just had my day 2 (I see day 3 talked about, but not much day 2?) bloodwork and met with my RE. Here were my levels: FSH 6.3 Estradiol 48 Luteinizing Hormone...

Hi all I just failed my first IVF - had 2 blasts transferred. I'm devastated and can't understand why this didn't work as I've heard most people have success first time with blasts. I'm in my early thirties, don't have endo or tubal issues and tested neg with anticardiolipins. Our only problem...

Hello everyone! My ER is in 2 hours and I woke up today and my stomach has completely deflated. I'm no longer bloated at all and it's making me really nervous! On the day of trigger, my E2 was 2882 with about 14 mature follies and 10 smaller follies. Is it possible that I could have ovulated on my...

My previous 2 clinics in Los Angeles used to give a valium before embryo transfer. My new RE does not..they try to use fewer supplementary drugs. I have my ET tomorrow and I am wondering if i should request for valium, if they can give me one. Does your clinic offer Valium? How common is it to...

Hi everyone I'm new here, I've been on another board but find no one really answers me that often! Anyways a little back story, I've been married for 6 years and TTC for just as long! Endo has always been expected and was finally removed June 2010. I was told it was stage 1-2 in the Cul-de-sac....

Anyone going this summer?

Hi Everyone! I posted this on the multiple-IVFer's forum but thought maybe someone could give me some insight here. My husband and I are dealing with stictly male factor infertility. We had an IVF cycle (long-Lupron) in March that resulted in a BFN. I had 14 eggs retrieved, 11 were mature, and 7...

I just started my second suppression cycle for my second IVF. They have me on the androgen priming protocol (2mg estrogen, androderm testosterone patch, doxycycline, and progesterone later in the cycle). The first time through, last month, they started me late in my cycle because they...

Hi all, first time post for me. I've just gone through my first cycle IVF (unsuccessfully). I'm a poor responder with low AMH who was on the microflare protocol. My husband said that the fluid from one of my ovaries was bloody. No eggs were collected from that ovary. The follicular fluid from...

Hi, I'm new to IVF and feel a bit lost. I was to start the injectables last month but was told I had a cyst. When the doctor went to check again this month the cyst was bigger. I was put on BCP last month and will have to continue next month as well. Anyone who was delayed due to cyst and was put...

Hi everyone, I am getting daily PIO shots and they are really starting to hurt! The are (both sides of my butt) is starting to get really sore. Does anyone have any suggestions or helpful hints? We do rotate the shots and give them in slightly differet areas (but there is only so much space). I...

Anyone had UTIs during the 2ww and got a BFP? I came down with a really nasty UTI the day after ET (bloody urine, was put on antibiotics) and am worried it might affect the outcome.

Just joined. Looking to gather information, and support from other couples dealing with infertility. My husband has low sperm count and overall just poor quality. We are meeting with a Dr. next week to discuss IVF and hopefully start in the next month or two. I am perfectly fine so far. Everything...

I just went through a failed IVF cycle at Nova. Am trying to decide where to go next. Before Nova, I did several IUIs with Kaiser in Santa Clara. Wasn't impressed by them - the whole office saw me (usually RNs), and they didn't really try. They just went along with what I suggested. Nova was...

I had my orientation today for my upcoming IVF and the nurse told me I'd be doing assisted hatching because its included in the price of my IVF and that if it was offered with no additional charge to take it. I remember in my consult with the doctor he said we most likely wouldn't do it because I...

hi! I just had my transfer today- and ive been taking the im progesterone shots for 2 days- i just realized that i wasnt putting the needle in completely- does anyone know if that affects my levels and the chance of implantation?

Anyone taking baby aspirin? When do you take it, everyday of the month...or start after AF ends..do you stop again after ovulation or continue throughout the 2ww Thanks

Hello everyone! I wanted to introduce myself and hope to become an active member of this board. I’m 28 years old and my DH is 30. We’ve been trying to have a baby for 2 years. We’ve been able to get pregnant on our own 4 times but they just don’t seem to stick. I’ve had a m/c at 12 weeks,...

Hello! I am doing my trigger tonight. They have me also doing a shot of cetrotide as well. Not sure why? Any ideas? And they are putting me under for ER. Anyone been out under for ER before? Any advice? I'm just nervous but love to know if anyone has had a similar experience before. ...
