Just 1 embryo.
My clinic does not encourage multiples.

[tsm37]

Tabkay, may I ask why your clinic does not recommend multiples? I know a number of clinics, including mine, does. 

[tabkay]

Because of risk of multiple pregnancies.
They dont encourage, however they didnt make any recommendations.
I am 29, with unexplained.
My last FET was successful but m/c at 5.5 weeks.
I decided to go ahead with single embryo this time too.

[tabkay]

Tested at 5dp5dt, FRER digital. BFN

[Nicole1985]

I got my 5 day update today. Out of 8 embryos growing from day 3 to 5, we have 3 at the morula stage right now. I have to wait until tomorrow to find out if they will turn into blasts! So much torture! But if they make it to freeze, will be worth it.

[Nicole1985]

Hang in there tab! Thats the time I start to test also. Still very early so cant get upset. Im only 2dp3dt so Im only half way there! I will start testing on Saturday. Maybe Friday night lol 😂

[tabkay]

transferred just 1, however my last FET, I tested positive at 6dp5dt with a FRER digital..(it got m/c though) so...

[wannabeamama]

Nicole, we had 7 five day blasts in the end and we had one transferred!

My clinic is the same as TabKay's, they do not encourage transferring more than one embryo because pregnancies with multiples can be more complicated.

My 2 week wait is almost over, I have 2 more sleeps until blood test day!!

I have done a home test in the past before an FET blood test, but I am choosing not to with this since all the stimulating meds I took might give me a false positive. The waiting is killing me though lol

 

Good luck everyone!

[tabkay]

I tested with FRER digital today, I am 6dp5dt. Came as negative

[Nicole1985]

Wanna- Thats a great report! Wish I had that many. The 2 ww is really hard. I definitely cant do it without testing before the blood test.
Tab- hopefully u will get your bfp soon.

Afm- One of our morulas turned into a blast but too low of quality to freeze. One Morula made it to a hatching blast today of great quality and is in the freezer. They are still watching one more morula and will find out tomorrow. Praying we get 1 more in the freezer so we have 2. This whole process is torture! After my 7th transfer, Im ready to be done with this and finally enjoy a pregnancy. Hopefully we all will.

Hi all , I just wanted to come on here and try to find out what Im dealing with when it comes to make factory IVF . My hubby was in a previous relationship where he had a vasectomy and . He has a daughter and I have a daughter but now we want to have a child of our own together .

We have opted to do IVF instead of reversal . I have very regular periods and no issues conceiving my first child.
Has anyone else gone through IVF with male having vasectomy ? If so what was your success rate .

[Nicky123]

Welcome. We weren’t able to salvage any sperm so we used a donor

[wannabeamama]

I got my result, BFN. 

Hubby got the call because I was working...

 

I guess fresh transfers are not always as successful as the frozen but we'd really gotten our hopes up anyway. 

I'm disappointed...

I think we will try an FET in the summer when it will be easier to take time off for appointments and we've had time to save some money.

 

Good luck to all, this is not an easy process. 

[tabkay]

So sorry @wannabeamama.
My heart is broken ;(

I have come to the terms that this cycle is bfn for me coz I tested today and BFN!

BETA on friday.

[Nicole1985]

Wanna and tab Im so sorry to hear. Trust me, I know how it feels and its so hard. No one understands how difficult this process is unless you live it and experience it. I also agree that frozen transfers work better because your body has time to heal. Just look at the bright side, you can still do a FET. Its so hard to get embryos to be able to freeze. That is a huge accomplishment. My first 2 IVFs I had none to freeze and no blasts today transfer and was devastated!

Afm; still to early to test. Only 4dp3dt. I got my day 7 call and I have another early blast that was frozen today. Then I go another call 5 minutes later and the embryologist said they went to discard the dish if embroys they though arrested and found a expanded blast in there! I was shocked because I already though they threw all the other ones away. So I have 3 frosties. Helps me feel relaxed now so if this fresh transfer dont work there r backups!

[Nicole1985]

Morrison- I have no experience with that. Sorry

[Nicole1985]

I need to edit my spelling but it wont let me! I really need to start rereading before I lost sorry

[Nicole1985]

Post lol

[tabkay]

I will still go for BETA tomorrow, coz of course no other option. But I am glad I tested before so now I wont have a teary episode at work. This morning was a BFN too. Nicole1985 - I hope this is the cycle for you! Fingers crossed for you.

[Nicky123]

Sorry guys. This journey can suck sometimes! Had my baseline yesterday and everything looks aok so I start stims tonight and then back next week for another u/s and  b/w. Anyone know the average amount of time people need to be on stims for? I have meds for 7 days and will get more if I need them 

[wannabeamama]

Nicky123 it depends on your clinic and what meds you're on.

It was 10-11 days at my clinic as part of a short protocol. 

Good luck!

[Nicole1985]

I was on stims 10-11 days with all of my IVF cycles.

[Nicole1985]

Tab good luck at your beta.

[tabkay]

Thanks.
I tested at home and BFN so I kind of know I am out. ;(
Feeling defeated but I am glad I tested coz I can prepare myself for that bfn call.
