If you will be doing IUI alone without ovulation induction, i.e. simply use your own cycle with no drugs added, then you can do IUI around the time when you ovulate. So, yes, 趕得切. Your doctor may monitor your cycle by taking some blood tests (usually on your LH level) and/or 1-2 times of ultrasound scan to see the progess of your follicle.
If I decide not to do ET in Mar, will my body be ready for FET in the following cycle (in Apr). Is it necessary to allow time (e.g. 2 months) for my body to recover before doing FET?
Regards,
Lily

Hello JLK,
Have we talked before?
While the injections may indeed confuse your body a little bit, it is hard to resist the transfer of fresh embryos (unless your doctor won't let you have fresh ET d ...
I assume you probably want to have your FET with your natural cycle. So, after the egg retrieval in Mar, you still need to see if your normal period returns. We usually say a 2-month resting time for recovery because in some cases, miss M returns late, or the cycle comes back but no ovulation. Given 1 extra month, everything resumes to its usual state in most women.
After the egg retrieval, simply tell your doctor that you would like to have the FET as soon as possible. He/she will help along to determine when your body (in fact, your endometrium and your natural hormonal profile) is ready.

Some 棒棒 are indeed not very sensitive, and they give qualitative results (i.e. Yes or No answer) only. I have seen 棒棒 that shows a very weak line, causing unnecessary doubts and anxiety which at the end still requires a blood test. Blood-taking is more sensitive and gives quantitative results; which in a "bingo", the doctor can also decide on what medication to continue or add.
Hope you remember me!! I had 3 emybros transfered.
The blood index this Monday (day 14 after ER) was 450 was comfirmed preganacy. The doctor said that may be they are twins. Yesterday (day19) was 5000 and the lining was 16mm. I had ultra sound checking the 胎囊 and see if they are in the uterus. Surpriseingly the radiologist couldn't see the 胎囊 ,neither in the uterus or elsewhere.... My doctor suspected that there might be 宮外孕 :( and he sent me to hospital for observation. Tomorrow (day 20 after ER) I will have another ultra sound scanning to see if he can find the 胎囊, or even the ring.....
I cried yesterday when I heard it. I would like to know usually when the 胎囊 can be seen. I don't know what it probably be if they still can't find the 胎囊 tomorrow. What will happen then? What can I do? When will be the latest date to confirmed?
I was very happy to see the +ve sign on the urine test at home on day 11 but then my hope drops very down now. I cried many times and worry a lot.... I don't know how to clam myself down... I stay in bed the whole day....
It's not too long ago that we talked, so I do remember you :)
On one hand, based on your hCG level and the way it increased, it doesn't look like an ectopic; but on the other hand, I am not a medical doctor nor had I seen your ultrasound, so I am (only) 80% believing his diagnosis. Did you go to your ivf doctor to have the scan done, or it is just your family doctor or nearby general clinic?
While not trying to devastate you all over again if your bingo truly turns out to be ectopic, your pregnancy at this point is still a little early to be "visible" on any ultrasound scan. Usually, we don't scan to check for yolk sac and/or fetal heart until late week 5 to early week 6 (treat your bingo-test day as ~week 4). Now I am holding my breath and praying that you will be fine.
It is very unfortunate to wind down as an ectopic, and you have all the rights to cry, do nothing, and mourn for a while. This does happen, although not very often, in ivf treatment; the same will also occur in the naturally-conceived. While you are all stressed and wrapped in despair, I hope you can inform me of the scan tomorrow.
Good luck with best wishes,

Hi cutecutetown,

No worry la, your FSH is fine; day1 and day2 should be similar, although there may also be a slight cycle-to-cycle variation.
Whether your FSH is high or low is only one of the factors we look at to estimate how young your ovaries are and decide on what dosage of medication to give. 成孕or not still depends on a lot of factors during the process you will soon walk through. Do not be too anxious, follow the steps and instructions your doctor will give you; come here if you have doubts.
I have been reading your replies for awhile and I am really thankful to have you here. Women that going through IUI/IVF treatments encounter many doubts, worries and pscyhologic swings. It is really kind that you can spare your own time to answer our questions. Many doctors with there busy schedules may not be able to give out what you can provide here.
Some backgrounds about me:
Age 35
-FSH around 9-10
Right ovary done operation b4 and not quite function. 95% eggs are retrieved from left ovary.
-2 natural chemical pregancy
-1st IVF (Feb 2010)
19 eggs retrieved, two day3 embryo with 7 cells transferred, no embroyo left
Get pregant but week 10 discouvered bb's head bone is abnormal. Abortion in week 10.
-1 IUI (July 2010). Chemial pregancy again.
-2nd IVF (Nov 2010)
18 egges retrieved,
1 FET: One day 3 embroyo with 8 cells transferred, failed. Yes only one transferred. What a stupid idea to worry about twins!
2 FET: Two day 5 (1 blat, 1 mono) transferred, failed
One day 3 embroyo stop growing during unfreeze
No embroyo left
I am not sure if I should go for another IVF again. It seems IVF cannot help me much in view of my poor egg quality. My hubby seems not want me to have another attempt since my mood swings a lot during these treatment. Finaically, we are OK for another trail. Have you seen any pateints' egg quality as bad as me can get pregnant at the end? Do you suggest me to have no.3 attempt? Can you pray for me?
I did the ultrasound scan in another scanning clinic which was referred by my ivf doctor as he said that the scan machine there is better than that in his clinic in that it's more precise. That's why I was very upset when the radologist said that there was nothing in the uterus. Because of the scan report, the doctor asked me to stay immediately in hospital in case of ectopic which leads bleeding...
I did the scan this morning, I had to wait my doctor coming tonight 巡房 to explain the report. I've asked the radologist during scannig. She said that she could see one sac of 0.48cm in the uterus. She showed it to us on the screen. My husband and I were very happy, but we didn't ask where the others (1or 2 embryos) are. My husband is afraid that there might still chance to have ectopic....
Is there a possibility that the rest can't be seen today but later (maybe too small)? I assume that they are not of the same size. Am I right?
Would it really happen that one embryo is in uterus and the other(s) in ovaries or fallopian tube?
Where will the other embryos go if they didn't implant? Do I notice it, such as coming out of fliud or bleeding?
What will it be then if they can't find the other 2 embryos?
The radologist said that I have a/ some (can't remember) small fibber in the uterus, does it hurt?
Sorry for so much questions. Thank you for your caring :) at least I feel better now...
I think the biggest question for you right now is whether you and your hubby can agree on one more IVF. The making of a baby takes two - you and your hubby; talk and talk to each other and evaluate where you both stand, what options and alternatives are possible, and how to handle an outcome that may not be desirable.
When you are emotionally ready, then we can go over the biology. All I can say at this point is, given your history, no one would reject you for another ivf; and same as everyone else going through ivf, there is always a chance of failing.

Cutecutetown,
I have been reading your replies for awhile and I am really thankful to have you here. Women that going through IUI/IVF treatments encounter many doubts, worries and pscyhologic swings ...
I am glad for you but a little upset by your ivf doctor. I don't know how many ivf docs out there who would ask their patients to do an ultrasound scan in <1 week after the first bingo test. This almost always causes unnecessary anxiety because obviously there is no ultrasound machine out there powerful enough to show the fetal sac on screen.
Looking at your hCG level (450 on day 14 & 5000 on day 19), I can only say your pregnancy is strong; no other guesses or speculations should be made. Well yes, it looks like a twin pregnancy, but not until a proper scan at the right time is done, that should be the end of what we can tell. The worry of an ectopic is a little dramatic; in an ectopic, the hCG usually won't go that high so quickly. However, I am not a medical doctor to judge what should or should not be said or done; a little over-cautious is better than a little careless when there is a life-threatening concern.
Back to your questions:
1. Even today, being a whole week after your first bingo test, there is still a chance the sac(s) may not be visible. Sometimes the ultrasound machines are just not powerful enough. In such case, I believe your doctor will also take an hCG level to see the progress or non-progress of the pregnancy.
2. It is possible, but not very likely, that one embryo has implanted in the uterus while another in the tube or elsewhere.
3. The embryo(s) that have not implanted are simply "reabsorbed", leaving no trail behind.
4. When your doctor can't find the other embryos, they have likely failed implantation. If for any reason they implant in the wrong place, you/we can only find out much later (it will be visible on ultrasound if your doctor scans carefully; although implanted at a different location, the rate of growth is about the same as if implanted in the uterus.)
5. Not sure about "fibbers", you mean "fibroids" perhaps?? You will need to ask your ivf doctor because fibroids can be located in different areas of the uterus; some don't affect, some may affect a little.
I am somewhat relieved at this point. Please tell me some good news later in the day. Stay optimistic!

This is my first time posting a question here, hope you can give me some opinion.
My hubby did SA last year and found zero sperm in his sample, that means NO sperm at all. and he went to see a few 泌尿科 dr but couldn't find out the real problem. (all his hormone level, 前列腺...etc is fine)
so, he did TESE and we finally got some sperm to start our IVF. In his TESE report, it said "occasional motile sperm seen".
I did my 1st IVF a few months ago, but I start bleeding after I had 5 days of hormone injection. Dr then found some 子宮肌留 which may cause bleeding. But my dr. let me continue my IVF. I've got 23 eggs retrival, 11 embryos, but some of their quality is so so bad, so, Dr suggest to transfer two G2- embroyos and got 5 frozen (6 emb has been discarded). My 1st IVF of course.. failed...
I've just got my FET last month (with two G2+ embryo tranferred with 7C and 9C, which is the best emb that I've got), but failed again.....
As per my dr. opinion, my 子宮肌留 seems doesn't affect the implantation, but my emb quailty is quite bad which affect the result (for yr info, I'm 34 yrs old).
My last 3 emb left: One 7C G2, one 8C G2- and one 6C G2-. As the quality of these leftover are even worse than my last FET, so, I have no hope for my coming FET.
With all these failure........ do you think that it's because of my bad quality emb or my uterus is having some problem which reject the implantation? If my next FET failed, do you suggest me to start my 2nd IVF? Or I have no hope at all no matter how many times IVF i do??
