This thread has given me so much hope. I hope more than anything to be posting here in the months to come. Congrats to you all.

 

[FirstTry]

As many others have said, this thread was a sanity-keeper for me during my cycles, especially the TWW! I read it over and over again, looking for clues as to my possible success.

Well, my DS is here now!!! So, I'm ready to post.

Name: Firsttry
Age: At retrieval, 37 years, 11 months. At birth, 39 years, 1 month.
How long TTC: 2 years
Diagnosis or any known issues: Diagnosis of unexplained infertility. Later discovered through other means that I have a genetic issue that makes 2/3 of my eggs not viable.
Treatments you tried before IVF: 2 IUIs, 3rd IUI resulted in 8 mature eggs, so converted to IVF!
How many IVF did you do before success: From those 8 eggs, 4 blasts in three transfers. The first transfer resulted in m/c, the second in a chemical, the third in my DS!
Are you using donor eggs or sperm: No
Protocol (meds taken): Chlomid and Gonal F (this was supposed to be an IUI, not IVF, so it's a limited protocol. The early shot of Gonal F is what made the huge yield.)
How many follicles at ER: 9
How many eggs retrieved: 9
How many eggs fertilized: 6
How many days between ER and ET: 5
How many and quality/rating of embryos/blasts transferred: 2
How many days bed rest: 1 day of bed rest, then took it easy for 2 days
Symptoms or issues during 2WW: nothing of note
What day you got your BFP: Very faint line at 3dp5dFET, darker each day after
HPT before blood test: Hells yeah! Every single morning. I just like to know where I stand
Number of first beta: 92 on 7dp5dFET
Number of babies: 1
Anything else you would have wanted to know before you started this process: The worst part for me was the uncertainty and the waiting. I just wanted to know when and if we were going to be able to have a biological child. If not, we could start looking at other options. Either way, we were determined to become parents!

Name: Brandy
Age: 37 at conception and 38 at birth
How long TTC: 3.5 years
Diagnosis or any known issues: Unknown
Treatments you tried before IVF: 1 IUI, 6 cycles of clomid, 3 cycles of Femara
How many IVF did you do before success: Success on first try
Are you using donor eggs or sperm: No
Protocol (meds taken): BCP, Lupron, Menogon, Puregon, POI, baby aspirin, Doxy, and Trigger
How many follicles at ER: 38
How many eggs retrieved: 31
How many eggs fertilized: 21
How many days between ER and ET: 5
How many and quality/rating of embryos/blasts transferred: 3. I was just told 2 were of the highest grade and third was a low grade
How many days bed rest: 0 but I took it easy for a couple days
Symptoms or issues during 2WW: None.. I thought for sure I was out
What day you got your BFP: 7DPO- I tested the trigger out an watched the line come back.
HPT before blood test: Yes
Number of first beta: 294
Number of babies: 895
Anything else you would have wanted to know before you started this process: The process was much easier than I had initially thought. The shots are nothing and that was my biggest worry. I was concerned with all the side effects I had heard about but I didn't experience any of those. Another thing I learned is not to count yourself out until it is confirmed with the doctors office. I saw people that had tested negative on HPT the night before only to get a BFP on the HCG test during their OTD.
