List your IVF Successes here

[FirstTry]

Oh you give me hope! I am 38 as well (although I see your eggs are technically younger!) and I am really hoping for another BFP. I start my IVF cycle as soon as I get my period - next week probably. And congrats to all the others - it's so inspiring to read these success stories

My current pregnancy resulted from a retrieval when I was 40. So, there is definitely hope, especially since you've already had a child using your own eggs!

So lovely to see all the successes. I remember feeling very disheartened. I was a registered nurse for years. I was making small talk with a doctor, she was quite young. I was telling her that I was waiting for my first round of ICSI due to my husband's low sperm count, and she said to me....' It doesn't usually work ...and was really pessimistic and darn right bitchy! I remember coming home from my shift and just feeling hopeless. She was wrong and it did work, not once but twice. I'm now 40 and a mother to a 4 year old and nearly 2 year old. Harriet's whose 4 was a second attempt. She was a frozen embroyo. George was also a second go. I went back for Frozen embroyos but they didn't work and so I did a full round. I ended up with just two embroyos both grade 1 and 1 ended up george. I know people that I had 5 attempts at IVF but got there in the end. So don't give up..just keep reading the success stories. Going through IVF is hard, and I've never forgotten it. Keep going if you haven't got there yet! Xxx

Hi zelly,

The wait is driving me crazy! Also, I haven't had any symptoms, so I worry it might not have worked. This is absolute torture!

Thanks for sharing, zelly. It makes me feel better to know that even without the traditional pregnancy symptoms this could still work.

I test on Friday. I'm terrified!!

I had a scan once my number 📱 was over 2,000. My second beta was well over 2,000 so they schedule me for a ultrasound. My betas were high enough that I thought so. But the ultrasound confirmed it. I will be looking for an up on your scan.

Here's the ultrasound pictures
