Hi ladies!

I just wanted to do a quick introduction here. I have been on the IVF board for quite some time and have been lurking on the pg boards but I have not posted anywhere yet.

I got pg on my first IVF after many IUI's and 11 years of ttc. We retrieved 13 eggs, 11 were mature, and 5 fertilized via ICSI. I had four that divided and made it to 5 day transfer. We transferred all four, which may seem a little extreme, but only two were of excellent quality, one looked "great", and we were told that the fourth one looked "okay" but would probably not survive to freeze the next day. We were going to transfer three, but I did not feel right about leaving the other little on sitting there to just die, so we transferred it as well.

My beta was on August 9, and was 56 at 9dpt. My second was 125 at 11dpt. My EDD is April 18. I am cautiously optimistic at this point as I have not had an u/s yet (it it will be at my 6 week appointment on Tuesday). I am fairly sure that it is healthy though because I have lots of symptoms already.

I lokk forward to getting to know you all soon!

Welcome Sylia and congratulations! I'm looking forward to your u/s update.

I don't think 4 embryos is high at all, I transferred 5 "great" ones both times. It just depends on your history, doctor, etc. It sounds like one of your little (at least) is a trooper. Yea!
