FeCC- I a sorry to hear about your bfn but I am glad to hear you are ready to move foward. Are you going to do a natural or medicated transfer of you last embryo? I just did a natural cycle and it was so easy. I hope your last one is the little miracle you are waiting for.
BZBee-This forum has a bunch of really great supportive women here. Your beta is the day before mine. So what is your story? Was this your first IVF? I did one fresh IVF with ICSI back in Jan 08 when I started this thread and had 3 frozen embies left from that cycle that we just transfered on the 12th.
Tmayac- I remember you. How funny that we did another cycle around the same time again. Congrats on your BFP!!!!!!!!!!!!!! When was your transfer this time? I have my beta in 8 days.
FeCC- I see you are going to take a risk and go for FET with only one embryo.I don't want to scare you or discourage in any way,but take in consideration some facts and decide if it worth it. If your insurance pays for it-I'd say,sure go for it.But if you are paying out of pocket ,I'd rather save money for the next fresh cycle,especialy if he wants you to do Lupron($125-300),progesterone($67) and probably estrace($200),plus-monitoring(around $1300) and transfer(around $$2650).Ask for the statistics in your clinic on survival rates for ONLY ONE embryo and PREGNANCY rates with ONLY ONE frozen embryo,don't just blindly trust your RE "that you have a good chance"-for them it's another bussines,for you-it's emotional and financial stress. Of course,there is always a chance for a miracle,but you have to be realistic and don't just go of what your doctor says-ask questions,do your own reserch. Whatever desigion you make,I wish you the best luck!
Tell me about it, there are alot of great supportive women here.
Been TTC for 4 1/2 years now, had 1 miscarriage 3 years ago. Been thru 4 IUI's and 6 doctors in the past two years and considered IVF just this year. I had 4 fresh (1 grade 1, 3 grade 2) 3-day old embryos transferred in me last June 10. And only 2 (grade 3's at that) frozen. Aside from the emotional struggles that of course all of you are aware of, my breasts have been really sore for the past week and digestion has gone haywire. Do you girls experience the same things?
BZBee - Good luck on your beta. Let us know your results.
Marina - Already said, but here goes again: thanks a lot for your realistic point of view on my case. I call the doctors office today and ask for information. As soon as they provide me that, I will let you guys know our decision
BZBee- the sore breasts are normal. Alot of symptoms can be from all the meds!
Tmayac- I am only 8 days behind you, my transfer was the 12th! Can't wait for my beta!
FeCC- I didn't want to discourage you but I have not heard good things about single FET's and after what happened to Marina, well... That is why I asked if you were doing a natural FET that way if it doesn't make it through the thaw, you will not have wasted too much money or have had to take any drugs. If you are going to to through with the single you should really ask if they will do a natural cryo cycle. Anyway it is at least a less expensive option if for some reason your embie doesn't make the thaw. Whatever you decide, good luck and keep us posted.
BZBee- I am still debating about the hpt. I would like to wait for the beta, but I don't know if I can hold out. I have not bought one as of yet but if I do decide to do one it wont be until at least Monday June 23rd. That is 11 days after my transfer and the day I would normally get AF according to the day of ovulation. I have been so tired lately, can't keep my eyes open! I have been napping everyday after work and yesterday even with my nap I still went to bed at 10pm (1 1/2hrs earlier than normal!). How are you holding up? Are you planning to take a hpt?
