Hi there...Im totally new to this. DH and I just had 1st round of ivf after almost a year of trying other fertility treatments...2 cycles of clomid, 3 cycles of follistim, 6 IUI, plusy loads of acupuncture since July of this past year. I was TERRIFIED of IVF, esp when the dr said that we had unexplained infertility...I kept asking about DH's sperm, to which he replied, was "normal". I knew in my heart of hearts that the problem was w/ him as he is 48 and I, 32. Anyway, with all of the testing with the IVF, we discovered a morphology/motility problem. I MADE DH start acupuncture treatments for 2x a week prior to my retrieval. Wouyldn't you know it, we didn't need ICSI after all? Im convinced it was b/c of the acupuncture!
Anyway, we retrieved 10 eggs, of which 7 fertilized. They froze 3, and watched 4. Only three made is to transfer. 2 were grade B (6-8 cells) and the other was grade C, with only 4 cells. They also performed assisted hatching...
Anyway, I have been a miserable cow since Thursday, as I REALLY feel like AF is on her way. I have that same weird PMS cramy sensation in the uteral area, and my right ovary is kind of crampy. My lower back has been a bit sore, but I work on my feet, so that could be it. Also, have been a bit out of breath, and have had the oddest nightmares all this week. My test is the day before Thanksgiving ( 3 more days), and I am soooo nervous, that I almost don't want to have it done. My DH is the absolute BEST on the planet, and if anything positive has come out of this year, it is that our love for one another has deepened to a level I was not aware was possible. Oh, I also have this weird taste in my mouth and occasional heartburn.
Has anybody had similar symptoms?
