Name:Shelley
Age:34
How long TTC:4 years
Diagnosis or any known issues: MF- low everything
Treatments you tried before IVF: We went right to IVF due to the MF
How many IVF did you do before success:1 IVF
Are you using donor eggs or sperm:no
Protocol (meds taken):Lupron,Follistim,Menopur
How many follicles at ER: only 5
How many eggs retrieved:four
How many eggs fertilized:just one
How many days between ER and ET:3 days
How many and quality/rating of embryos/blasts transferred: 1 eight celled embryo with some fragmentation
Symptoms or issues during 2WW: none
What day you got your BFP: 12dpt3dt
HPT before blood test: Didn't take one.
Number of first beta:39.5
Number of babies:1
Anything else you would have wanted to know before you started this process! The whole process is such a roller-coaster of emotions. We kept thinking that we'd allow ourselves to be a little more excited at the next beta or the next u/s... Once we passed 17 weeks, we really felt like we could let go. I think that more than anything, we just feel so blessed. with so few at the retreival, and only one embie to transfer, it was such a longshot. The only thing I could say is that you're mantra during the process is "have faith".
