Hello and welcome, thats wonderful news! congratualtions, I am 41 and conceived naturally 3 years ago our son, have had 3 ivf's last year , 1 miscarriage and 2 negatives, and we are going for a 4th and final ivf in June, just trying to maximize our chances by taking dhea for egg quantity and quality, you are just a little younger, did you produce many eggs, what quality were they. I only produce minimal, 3-6 eggs, 3 fertilize and only 1 makes it.  best wishes again melissax

I am so sorry if this is the outcome for this cycle, its not over till its over but you know your body better than anyone, hormones are funny old things, dont make sense half the time with my non- menstrual cycle, i.e i dont have periods due to low body weight so when having fsh and Lh taken it is never on day 3 as I dont know when day 3 is! had them done last week fsh 13 Lh 10 eostrogen 142 progesterone 43!  dr thinks this means i will actually have a period-first in years! but it hasnt come so i dont exepect it will, just hormones again. Sorry to rabble about myself, I know you must be feeling crap, lousy and low, hopefully you wont have to wait too long to begin another go(if you have to, hang in there may be a big surprise round corner) thinking of you as have been there 3 times before like you, my best wishes and support melissax

hey girls .. I have pretty much thrown in the towel for this round .. I have a nasty cold and migraine .. the migraine I only ever have with my miscarriages and when I have failed IVF's .. I think is the big shift of hormones trying to get rid of the embryo whatever stage it is at .. and my test today was another neg .. I have not felt that good throughout this cycle and just had the feeling that it wasn't going to work but have held out hope nonetheless ... now I am eager to get my af so that we can move on to the next cycle .. I have a feeling that my clinic will make me wait a few months .. hope not!

had a pig out on chocolate today and will probably have a few glasses of wine over easter (if af shows up) but after that it's back to ultra healthy .. and get back to exercise too .. I haven't been for months as I had a badly sprained ankle but now that is better I have no excuse .. got to get that blood flowing to those ovaries

globetrot, I will be right behind you early may and for you mhv and hopeful for when your cycles kick in there too!
