List your IVF Successes here

[myboo1971]

Thank you for you well wishes ladies. The update is that I lost this little one. HCG levels on Friday were less than 5. I'm still bleeding and feeling like all this is a bit surreal. Not sure where we go from here now. After 10 years of trying, the finally see "Pregnant" on a HPT was awe inspiring, only for it to culminate like this.

Good luck to everyone on this thread. You've been so supportive.

I am so sorry Myboo

I'm so sorry, myboo! I know that feeling... I've lost 3... 1 after my 1st ICSI cycle. I wish there were words of comfort, but there aren't really any that would help! I'm here if you want to talk though!

Congrats to the new successes... I hope to join you again soon! *sigh*

Congrats to all the new BFPs!

I'm so sorry myboo. I really am so sorry. I can only imagine how you are feeling. Saying a prayer to send you strength and condolences...

 

[Isi Buttercup]

So so sorry Myboo!!!! Just take time to take care of yourself. Praying next time has a better outcome!

 

[pluto]

just wanted to say that I'm so sorry too Mayboo. You think you are finally getting there to see that BFP and then its soo cruel to get that far and it still doesn't work out. This whole business is just so difficult.

What day you got your BFP: 14 days post 5 day transfer (I was out of town and couldn't test when they originally wanted me to-9 dpt. I was too afraid to do a HPT )
HPT before blood test: nope.

Anything else you would have wanted to know before you started this process: This forum helped so much. For me it was more emotionally trying than anything else. I didn't keep a positive attitude the whole time because most of the time I did not feel positive about it. I just tried to go on with my life as usual - I traveled, I had a drink here and there, I exercised. I feel VERY fortunate to have gotten my BFP on the first ICSI cycle.

Hi ladies, I will be doing IVF probably around December/January. That is when we estimate we should have the full payment ready. Do your RE's require the payment before the procedure or before all these meetings and checks to see if your hormones are in check before starting IVF? I just want to know if I should call and schedule things a month before our expected payment ready date so I am not waiting afterwards? Not sure how long the whole process takes anyway! Some clarity please ?

I think it depends on your FS, but mine requires full payment (excluding the anesthesia payment) by the time of your first shot. So I was in the office for consultation and they put me on BC for 3 weeks to get me in line with the dates they wanted. Then I did a Lupron shot right before I stopped the BC. They said they would have gotten payment then, but I did my own shot at home. I paid the next week (last friday) and will pay for the anesthesia on the day of retrieval. I did have some blood work done before I started even the BC such as TSH level and preg test, and they didn't require payment then. (my insurance covers bloods.) Probably you need to check with your FS as they most likely are all different. Good luck!

Oh, and the length of the process depends on many factors. Shortest being maybe 3 weeks? Longest really depends on if there are complications and how you respond to meds.
