Hi Yoyocutie,
I got the ET done last Friday. I'm now in the 2ww with a lot of anxiety and speculation. Dr. Nelson told me that the success of IVF is completely determined by the quality of embryo whether it will keep growing or not and there is very little we can do to affect the outcome. However, I'm still having the fear of failure...... I don't know what I can do to relax myself and stop thinking about the outcome.
I did a Day 3 ET. I got 29 egg retrieved but end up with only 8 embryos that are grade 8A and 7A. I was surprised that only 8 out of 29 is viable, but Dr. Nelson said it is very normal. We transferred 2 8A and freeze the rest.
Did you use home pregnancy test before the blood test from your last two IVF ?
Good for you! You have 8 embryos with 8A and 7A. When I did mine...the first time I had 20 eggs retrieved, I only had 7 embryos with 1-7A, 1-6A, and the rest were 5As and 4As. Luckily I got my daughter the first time. Then the second time I retrieved 17 eggs, and got 12 embryos with 8As and 7As. I got my son on this time. Since you transfered 2 8As, you are already half way success. Did you use ICSI this time?
During my 2WW, I drunk a cup of whole milk everyday. I watched some funny movies to help myself to relax my mind. I actually told myself that "I can do this! My chance of being pregnant is higher than the normal person already because I am not in the old age group and my body responded well for all the medication....I have to be confidence with my 2 babies and I am just waiting to be confirmed." By thinking that way, my mind was in peace a lot in that 2WW.
I did use the home pregnancy test on all of my transfers one day before the blood test. I wish you luck. You still have 1 week to go...let me know the result, okay!
You had two very successful IVF! Did you do a Day 3 or Day 5 transfer ?
I didn't choose ICSI for this cycle as the embryologist thought it is not needed on the day of ER.
I'm now 6 days post ET, but I don't feel anything at all.... I have a little mild cramp on and off. I know it has been a long time for you, but did you have any pregnancy symptom after the ET from two of your successful cycles ?
Both of my IVFs were day 3 transfer. I just remembered I had a mild cramp feeling, and sometimes I had the pinch feeling on either the right side or left side of the tummy. This pinch feeling will get stronger after the confirmation. Other than that, I didn't get any morning sickness or tireness on both of my pregnancy.
So you will have your test tomorrow? Good luck! Let me know what you have. I am so nervous too!
Hi, my blood test came back positive. Hooray!!
I will go back for my first ultra sound after next week. Hopefully a heartbeat will be heard at that time. I'm so excited to get my first BFP after trying to conceive for almost 4 years.

Congrats! I am so happy for you! Ready or not, you will become a mommy soon! :) Do you have any morning sickness yet? What's your hcg number? Would that be a chance for twins?
I just checked back our very first conversation. It was 2 years ago around the same time...can't believe that we talked/supported to each other for 2 years already..and finally you and I both have what we wished for!
So, how much did you end up paying to FPNC?
