Fet Worked!! Pregnant!

I'm actually pregnant after 2 years and 2 failed IVFs!!!
its still so surreal that we are very cautious! but just had our 3rd beta yesterday and u/s - and beta was over 14,000 and the drx. confirmed TWINS!! I am just so emotional with tears - its been a hard struggle and i feel like its something that will never leave me and all of us that have to go through this. I pray for many from all of you and please pray that my pregnancy continues!
Does anyone know how common miscarriages are and vanishing twin? when do you they usually occur? ** i know, im always just worried**

Amazing!!!

Such an amazing success story after everything you've been through! And twins no less!!! Congratulations! enjoy every moment!!


And if you don't mind my asking?? I couldn't help but notice your siggy. Your IVF#1 produced only morulas to transfer, with only one late day blast to freeze. But IVF#2, the quality of the embryos went up dramatically, and so many to freeze!!!! I'm desperately looking for something to improve my embryo quality. What did you do differently in IVF#2???? what protocol were you on??? THANKS!

AND CONGRATS!

Hey Lisa,

My first IVF was a DNA Study we participated in....the drx. believes that taking the extra chromosome of my embryos on day 2 of their fertilization might have slowed up my embies and thats why they were only morulas and not blasts...but will we ever know? who knows. We didnt do anything differently at all with IVF #2....the meds that i was on were follistim, medrol, levaquin and estradiol. Let me know if theres anything else i can help you with....hold onto faith - you will get your dream! I wish you tons of great luck for your !!


1st IVF:
E/R - March 15 - 19 eggs, 16 fertilized with ICSI
E/T - March 20 - 2 morulas -
1 blast frozen on day 6

2nd IVF:
Started Stims April 29, 2008
E/R - 5/10 - 33 eggs, 27 fertilized with ICSI
E/T - 5/13 - transferred 3 8 cell Grade 2 embies
Beta - 5/23 -
13 blasts frozen on day 6 - all 13 graded 4 (excellent!)

6/23 - Hysteroscopy & D&C surgery performed (removal of polyps)

starting FET July 8, 2008

8/6/08 - transferred 3 great looking blasts (11 frozen)

8/15/08 - Beta - POSITIVE!! 312!
8/17/08 - 2nd beta - 982!!
8/24/08 - 3rd beta - 14,111!!! TWINS!!!
