Name: Erin
Age at conception: 28
Diagnoses: Severe Endo
Treatments you tried before IVF: was told nothing else would work... tubes tied by scarring. chocolate cysts in both ovaries.
How many fresh and frozen cycles before success:
Protocol (meds taken): 1 fresh cycle ended in beta of 29 then a 6 two days later. ohss. severe pain and 12 pound weight gain! Thank god for the frozen we got out of the first cycle! Pregnant from IVF #2: FET! 2 4AA blasts thawed and transfered.
Complimentary treatments (acupuncture, massage, etc.) Nothing really. didnt have any money left to do these extra things!!! My insurance covered ZERO of this.
How many days bedrest (if any): 2 after transfer.
How many and quality/rating of embryos/blasts transferred: 2 - 4AA Blasts
Symptoms or issues during your successful 2WW: Flowly cramps like AF was coming. I was positive I would bleed at any second!!
HPT before blood test?: No way! didn't want any false positives/negatives... wanted to see blood test only!
What day you got your BFP: 11dp5dt. (technically the frozen embryos had been left to grow one more day in the lab before freezing so i guess it was 11dp6dt.
Number of first beta: 585!
Number of babies: not sure yet...
Advice for those going through FET now: Good luck and try to keep positive. they kept telling me the success rates were lower but remember that your body isn't going through all that stimming so I think that balances it out!!!!
