Cycle buddies Start Sept. 2010
Looking for anyone beginning their IVF cycles around September 2010 told i needed to reach out and connect with someone who is going through the same thing as the DH and I. Please contact me if possible. Very interested in the success stories also since this will be our first time.
Congrats. Wonderfull news. Hope it continues to grow for the next 8mths!.
My BT is tomorrow, only symptoms are really sore boobs, want to sleep on my belly, but cant. I have done 2 HPT's, both BFN, so not expecting anything but a BFN.

well, we got a BFP!!!!! went in for my second beta today and it tripled from 108 (original beta on monday) to 349 today. I was so relieved but i dont think it has sunk in yet! we will have our first u/s in 2 weeks....so im staying positive and trying to take one day at a time. oh, and i did cheat and took some HPT's on sunday before my first beta...which all came back BFP. i still didnt believe it.
sending love and baby dust to all!

Hello- I'm new to this site.. We are doing IVF for the first time in Sept.
I'm 31 DH 49,DD 6yrs. I had my egg retrieval 9/22. i had 7 follicles, ended up gettiing 8 eggs.
Heard from Dr.7 fertilised. 5/5 ICSI & 2/3 IVF. now just waiting to hear if we do a Day 3 or day 5 transfer.I start the crinone tomorrow..bit aprehensive.
9/25 - Well, we ended up doing a day 3 (8cell) embryo transfer...but i have contracted OHSS...oh so painfull & uncomfortable! I'm just starting to be able to go back to work (i only work in an office) today 5 days later. Having to inject myself with Clexane every day..not nice! also persist with the Crinone not to mention having to take 2 little white pills with food morning and night (pregnislone?). Anyway, countdown til testing day.8th Oct. Fingers crossed!
thanks for reading- I don't have really anyone to talk to about this since no one I personally know understands or has gone through this before...
Keep you all posted! .

Hi Chrissy,
I am in the same boat. My beta is scheduled for the 11th of October. all of our failed IVF attempts amplifies the long wait and i know how you feel. every little thing i am analysing hoping that it may be a sign!
Good luck and yes, i will probably get tempted to do a home preg test next week before my beta.

congrats to the BFP's!! i am 3dp5dt today and am really not liking this long wait until my beta on 10/4. had the transfer on saturday (which was our 6 year wedding anniversary!) and we transferred 2 great embyos. all went well and had my bed rest. the lab called yesterday and 2 others made it to freeze, so we were very happy.
so, now i wait and am so glad i have you all to wait with :) of course i am taking every symptom i am having and magnifying it times 100. been crampy the last few days- so we will see what happens.
anyone going to test at home prior to their BETA?

Hi, everyone, i just joined this website yesterday... i'm doing my transfer this saturday oct2. This would be my second attempt....a little excited and a little nervous:) my endometrium is a little thinner than it should be at the moment (7mm).. still under medication, hoping that it would be thickened some more in next a few days. Good luck to everyone...
I am on my fifth IVF cycle with one miscarriage, and had two embies transferred yesterday, so am on the anxious 2 week wait. I tried acupuncture last time however the frozen embie still didnt attach. I am on Crinone cream for a fortnight but am thinking that i should take it for longer since i have a left over pack at home. the only time i managed to get pregnant, i was taking this progesterone cream.
What does everyone think?
I had 9 follicles, 5 of which fertilized, and 4 didnt. One of the fertilized ones was abnormal so they chucked it away so we were left with only 4. (two transferred and two frozen). Seems like alot to go through for only 2 spares.
Wish me luck everyone!

guesito- Thanks...I am realy getting excited and anxious, i just want to get going. It is going to work this time, I just know it! I believe the accupuncture is the key to unlock my mystery!! How are you feeling?
LaPoo- Thanks so much! good luck to you! That is what we did...we froze alot of embies and that is why we are able to keep trying! I really do hope this is your turn too. October 9th is my birthday so i hope you can give good news for my b.day!!!
red3077- My first IVF i tested and it was neg and so was my beta but i have seen so many women on here that even though their hpt's were bfn's, their betas were bfp's. So don't lose hope!!
AFM- 2nd day of suprefact, started a journal to see how everyday goes and i can look back and smile. I am so filled with optimism and hope there is no room for doubt or negativity! I just know this is my time!!!

I'm really happy for you.
I'm offically in the two week waiting period. RE transferred 3 beautiful embies today. On bedrest for the next 3 days. Hormone level testing 9-27 and beta scheduled for 10-7. Still praying for my remaining 5 embies and hoping some make it to freezing to join my other blast. DH and I want subsequent opportunities in the future and this the most cost effective way for us ensure this opportunity. Continue to pray for a successful outcome with us and SSBD to all.

Its possible if you test too early and if your hcg levels arent high enough to be detected in a hpt, Happened to me on my 1st cycle 2 yrs ago. HPT neg, next day beta 40. Its possible good luck!
Just wondering has anyone of the BFP's had done HPT and came out negative in the early days and when the Beta Test Day arrived came back with positive results??
WOO-HOO!!!!!!! Start my meds tomorrow! I am really getting excited now. I have had 5 accupunture appointments and feel totally ready!!!
I only retrieved 4 only 2 made it, transfered both and im now almost 12 weeks pregnant with a singleton...Sometimes its not the quantity but the quality. Honestly I was in tears when I found out only 4 where retrived! But god had a plan for me and I let him do his magic by staing positive and praying alot!
Thanks for the well wishes. I love the positive vibes.
I received a call from embryologist today. 9 of 11 eggs fertilized. I'll know more about the quality tomorrow. 7 of 11 eggs fertilized during my 1st IVF so I'm pleased with my numbers. Transfer is scheduled for Sunday 9/26 at 8:30a. Not sure how many RE will transfer but I'm sure it will be 3 like my last cycle.I also start my progesterone shots tonight and begin taking presnisone for the next 4 days.
I was chatting with a lady in the waiting room when she told me how another IVF patient only had 2 embies that were of poor quality and my RE had to do a two day transfer for fear of losing both. Well, one of the embies didn't make it but the other one did and split. Now she is pregnant with twins. I thought that was a great story to share with the group.
Magggi-When do you get beta results? Are you going to do a HPT?

Retreival was today and RE was able to get 11 eggs. Waiting on call from embryologist tomorrow re number that fertilized and quality. Still a bit crampy so I'm going to relax a bit. Will keep you posted.
