Entering the world of Assisted Conception...like it or not...

[Smille24]

Hiker- anything is possible. Yes, the chances off success may not be in your favor but miracles happen. We were told that we wouldn't conceive and it happened. I hope it works out for you this time around. I'll keep you in my prayers .

Our first baby was an IVF baby. We transferred one, and I had a pretty strong positive at 6dp5dt, which is the equivalent of 11dpo. I probably would have had a positive earlier. That was the first time I tested. I used a frer, never bought Internet cheapies or anything. Even if they had made it to day 5 and you froze them, there's no guarantee they would have survived the thaw. We only did one cycle, and had 5 frozen blasts. We transferred one in an unsuccessful fet attempt, and then the remaining 4 didn't survive the thaw when we wanted to try again. Don't be too down about not being able to freeze any.

I've seen people on here pregnant with embryos that didn't seem the right stage to freeze. So you're in there with just as good as chance as any! And some people only get pregnant with fresh embryos too!!
Ha ha the socks, the pineapple, the Pom juice, acupuncture.. I did all that lol. Anything to work!
I tested 5 days after transfer... No result.. Then promised to wait 7 days post 5 day transfer.. Got a line. Didn't believe it until the 3rd day of two lines. With first morning pee too! There's some timeline online of what happens in the days post transfer if u Google.
I'm really hoping this is your time!

I'm not so down about not freezing, but moreso about the fact that they nearly stopped growing. I think that's a bad sign. But then again if they had died or something I doubt they would have gone through with the transfer. I'm just really trying to not get my hopes up. I am going to test Sunday I think.

 

[miranda007]

You're in there with a chance Hiker. Still smart to keep your expectations realistic.. But there's people out there who have implanted less than suitable ones and gotten pregnant. Someone told me they only do the grading by the look of the embryos under the microscope. Some do better in the womb.
Fingers crossed for two lines for u..

Hiker - I'm really pulling for you and hope the transfer works. I've seen others where putting it back has been successful and it's continued to grow. So there is hope. But I'm sorry it's not as positive of news as you were hoping for. Hugs!

When do you test?

 

[Hiker1]

I go in for my beta on Wednesday, so 5 more days! They said not to do a hpt because it could be a false negative if the hcg is very low. So until then I am trying to think positive and celebrate pregnancy until I'm told otherwise. Thanks for all your positive vibes. I've read that others have had success too with slow growing embryos at day 5 so I'm wondering if maybe the doc just doesn't want to get my hopes up and if it works out then that's a good thing. I feel fine, but I do keep feeling a sensation in my uterus area ever since transfer. Kinda warm, kinda twingy. Not painful but there. I have felt things other months too and it could also be the progesterone, so I'm trying to not read too much into it. But I do notice something.

Bronte, when do you start your protocol? Must be pretty soon! How's everyone else?

 

[Hiker1]

Quick update - 7dp5dt - caved and tested. BFN.

 

[lemon_tree]

Still holding out hope - like they said, could just be a low beta for some reason and that it's a false negative. All my fingers and toes are crossed for you!

 

[BronteForever]

You are definetly not out of it yet, Hiker. Keeping everything crossed for you!

 

[miranda007]

You're still in there with a chance Hiker.. I looked at this timeline like 100 times at our transfer..
Implantation occurs at different times for people. Everything crossed for u that u get some good news soon.


1 day post transfer - Blastocyst hatches out of shell on this day
2 days post transfer - Blastocyst attaches to a site on the uterine lining
3 days post transfer - Implantation begins, as the blastocyst begins to bury in the lining
4 days post transfer - Implantation process continues and morula buries deeper in the lining
5 days post transfer - Morula is completely inmplanted in the lining and has placenta cells & fetal cells
6 days post transfer - Placenta cells begin to secret HCG in the blood
7 days post transfer - More HCG is produced as fetus develops
8 days post transfer - More HCG is produced as fetus develops
9 days post transfer - HCG levels are now high enough to be immediately detected on HPT

Checking in on you, Hiker.

I have a question. I have read on Internet on different forums that on certain day of cycle women are advised to start burselin stims. While I started on the day 5th of my cycle. Is it okay ? Today is my cd 26 and tomorrow will be going for scan.
Silly question but just want to make sure do I supposed to get periods this time while having burselin Injections or these injections will put the period on pause ?

 

[Hiker1]

Well friends, sorry to say my first round of IVF was a flop. I started spotting Tuesday night, then my bloodwork came back yesterday at .8 so very negative. I cried my eyes out, and then felt better. I could sit here and be sad about it, or move on and hope that next time works better. I am supposed to have a phone conference tomorrow with the doc to see what the next steps are. I am terrified she is going to say, well based on X, you are not a good candidate to try again. Regardless, we are moving to my husband's insurance now, so we will have more IVF coverage to help us continue on. We may need to take a month off for the crossover to happen and all that paperwork - plus I'm going on vacation the first week in July, so it might be best to come back and start then. He is very optimistic - said we proved we can make embryos, now it's just a matter of tweaking meds or maybe next time we'd do a 3 day transfer? I don't know. I will feel much better after talking to the doctor though - at least I will know where to go from here...

Tulip, I'm sorry I don't know anything about burselin - never heard of it. Does it have another name?

How's everyone else doing? Bronte, you must be gearing up to start soon, right?? So exciting!

 

[Smille24]

I'm so sorry hiker . You are in my thoughts and prayers.

 

[BronteForever]

I'm so sorry Hiker. This is not the news I wanted to hear.

Don't lose hope though. Several people take multiple times for IVF to be successful. The first cycle is almost like a test run or so I've heard so your doctors can learn about your body and how you respond and make adjustments as needed. They will have a much better idea how to proceed now. We paid for two cycles upfront for this very reason. However, I know I'd be devastated if the first one didn't work regardless. It's such a hard process. I'm so sorry for you.

Really hope they get a great game plan set for you for next time and it's a success. Enjoy your vacation as much as you can and hopefully that helps take your mind off of some of this.

And yes, I am starting soon. I should start meds late next week on CD3. I'm preparing myself for it to hurt because normally ovulation hurts me now, post ectopic surgery. I'm hoping it's not horrible, but I'm excited to get started and see what happens.

 

[lemon_tree]

I'm sorry Hiker, that's a blow but I think your attitude towards it is spot on. You will come back stronger and your meds will be a more precise fit and you'll get that sticky bean.

Thinking of you.

Update
Today was first scan since I started buserelin on 25th of may. But in scan they found out that womb lining is thick so they canceled the treatment for a while and in August will start again from the scratch.
Is there anyone who had similar problem ?
Thanks in advance .

Tulip - can't offer any advice, since I've never had the same problem, but I'm so sorry to hear this. Hopefully they have an idea of how to correct and you can start fresh in August.
