Thanks! You know I thought if I ever made it this far I would just be able to be happy but I find myself so wirried that there won't be anything on that first ultrasound. I know it's crazy and I need to stop worrying but after so many let-downs I find it really hard to just wait to weeks to confirm that this is really happening.

I had my first IVF in Jan...due to unknown reasons it was bfn (pretty sure the doc messed a couple things up, and also it was REALLY hard on my body) but we will never know why it was bfn

I am about to start AF and will be going through with FET. We have two "good" 6day blasts frozen. Hoping they will survive the thaw.

I was wondering if anyone has this protocol:
I am doing acupuncture, about once a week right now. I have been taking 81mg of baby aspirin since bfn every morning and still taking my prenatals.
When AF arrives, I Will begin Vivelle patches for 1-2 weeks (depending on my lining??) and then start PIO injections. I did not have PIO with fresh cycle (used Crinone) - I will take PIO for 5 days, and then have FET around March 25th.

Any success stories? We have (or so we thought) NO issues, other than my tubal issues, and I had those removed last year. We had 4 beautiful "excellent" blasts from retrieval, but the two we put back for fresh cycle was a bfn. We also only used prog suppositories for the fresh. I hear that PIO might also help.

I would love to hear any success stories. THank you ladies!! I am very scared and this is our last chance.

Sa2610 I guess I may be a success story. I had started my fertility journey with IUI's and had 9 failed ones. I then moved to IVF last year in September, only to have it end in a chemical. I could have started up FET right away, but I chose to wait four months and start up acupuncture. I had seen lots of stuff on these boards about success with it so I thought I'd give it a try. I also read a lot about other things women found successful in getting pregnant, and eating Pineapple and walnuts was mentioned a lot. So I started up acupuncture once a week and began to eat so much pineapple and walnuts I'm shocked I didn't turn yellow.

The week before my transfer I cut out all caffeine and stopped drinking anything cold, continuing that after the transfer. I had read that cold drinks or food (smoothies, ice cream, or drinks with ice) can shock the uterus and hurt with implementation. (Yes I began to believe everything I read) On the day of my transfer I had a acupuncture session, and a week later got my BFP! I picked up acupuncture again, and continue to go once a week. And then on my first ultrasound I found out it was twins!
I'm now eight weeks pregnant and have had no morning sickness which is wonderful.
I attribute my success this time around totally to acupuncture. I urge every women struggling to look into it!

In terms of the protocol, mine is similar. I was on, and continue to be on baby aspiring, Crinone (2xdaily) Progesterone Oil shots (2x weekly) and Estridiol shots (2x weekly)
