I have read SOOOO many of these over the last few years and even now cannot quite believe I am getting to complete my own!

Age: 35
How long TTC: 3 years
Diagnosis or any known issues: Adhesions/ileostomy
Treatments you tried before IVF: One year trying naturally, 6mths clomid
How many IVF did you do before success: 6 treatments
Are you using donor eggs or sperm: No
Protocol (meds taken): This was our first attempt at a Frozen Transfer. Always used suprecur and menopur on Long protocol. Short protocol caused fluid in uterus.
Immune meds: prednisolone, clexane, womb relaxant, progesterone pessaries, oestrogen, extra vits.....
How many follicles at ER: Loads usually (in 6 attempts)
How many eggs retrieved: Averaged about 8
How many eggs fertilized: About 85% usually
How many days between ER and ET: Blasts transferred
How many and quality/rating of embryos/blasts transferred: One good, one average
How many days bed rest: Only the day after transfer, then moved house!
Symptoms or issues during 2WW: No idea if the slight nausea, boob ache, etc were imagined or real...
What day you got your BFP: 19 dpt
HPT before blood test: Did a secret one at 5dp5dt and it was a dud. Took this as a sign to STOP IT!! and did no more until 14dp5dt (still had not begun to spot and was beginning to hope...) when we got a clear +ve!!!
Number of first beta: No blood test done
Number of babies: One
Anything else you would have wanted to know before you started this process: It WILL happen. It just might take longer than it does for other people, and that sucks. Also frozen transfers work better for us than fresh ones.

Hi FeeBee,
Just wanted to say thanks for giving me hope - just about to start the journey having had colostomy and reversal, lots of adhesions. So good to know it just might work! Good luck with the !

Hi girls, I have just been through a fet cycle and yesterday we got our BFP but our beta was only 51 but it was only 9 days after transfer. I am so happy but also a teeny bit worried. The doctor says she doesn't need to see me and I have a scan in 3 weeks so am really hoping I can post properly in 3 weeks time xxx good luck to everybody

 

[mrssunshine78]

Never in my wildest dreams did I ever think that I would get to post here, but having had a scan and now being nearly 9 weeks I think I should!

How many days between ER and ET: 5
How many and quality/rating of embryos/blasts transferred: 1x3BB blast
How many days bed rest: Pretty much the whole two weeks
Symptoms or issues during 2WW: Lots of cramping, but that was it. At about 5dp5dt I just had a feeling that it had worked. Couldn't put my finger on what made me think that. I just knew.
