Hi!
We are starting out first IVF cycle in May. We start the first dose of Estrofem on Monday. Then we are doing a stimulated IVF cycle with a 5 day transfer. No matter how much information we read, it never feels enough. I look forward to talking to others who are going through this, or have been through this. Sometimes it is just easier to have a chat with people going through the same situation.
How often do people have success on their first cycle? Am I setting myself up for disappointment? I'm overly excited. I have been compiling a list for everything for the nursery etc...and there is not even a baby yet. The egg retrieval is on the 15th of May and the 5 day transfer is the 20th. Is it good to keep hopes up? Or is it better to be more reserved? What have you guys done in your previous cycles?
Is there anything in addition you guys do to try and up chances of a successful implantation? I know the special food end are myths/old wives tales...etc...
Did any of you use the embryo glue? We are going to use that this cycle. The Dr. said we didn't need to worry about the scratch for our first attempt. So, we aren't using it the first attempt, but if it fails she said we could try it for future attempts.
Regards,
Aleriya
