Seems like everyone on here ends up with an issue with friends. Once I knew a girl who told her best friend she was doing IVF and she said "Don't you think you are playing god". I really think you just don't get it until you go through it. There is so much pressure with IVF and stress in life...the last thing you need is everyone asking every month did it work did it work. They say at around 10 weeks pregnant you can tell family and friends but when you are going through this process everyone will want to know the day you find out. Also many girls vent on here about what people say and they really regret that they told people. Good luck!

I know I felt the same way my first time & it didn't work and I was so bummed. I also understand how you are feeling with age...we are in our late 30's and we have less time so it is natural for us to panic more.
hang in there it will happen!

Name: Jill
Age: 39
How long TTC: 1 year
Diagnosis or any known issues: nothing specific, age, one ovary/one tube
Treatments you tried before IVF: none, with only one tube, IUI seemed unlikely to work
How many IVF did you do before success: 1
Are you using donor eggs or sperm: yes (sperm)
Protocol (meds taken): gonal-F mixed with Menupur
How many follicles at ER: about 18
How many eggs retrieved: 12
How many eggs fertilized: 3
How many days between ER and ET: 3
How many and quality/rating of embryos/blasts transferred: 2 good (4 cell and 6 cell), 1 fair (5 cell)
Symptoms or issues during 2WW: nothing much, did have brown spotting 2-3 days before scheduled beta
What day you got your BFP: 12
HPT before blood test: No
Number of first beta: 1095
Number of babies: 2
Anything else you would have wanted to know before you started this process! It can be really hard and really stressful. I had tons of red bleeding two days before my ultrasound and was so stressed but everything was ok. Also, I worried that none of my embies would implant since low cell count but two did. You just never know. Unfortunately worrying doesn't end on postive beta. Also, 2 WW is so hard but don't freak out over lack of symptoms (I know, that's impossible), it's so early!

Protocol (meds taken): the "SIRM special" with 1/2 dose ganirelix. Also did acupuncture, cut out all soy and alcohol 3 months prior to retrieval
How many follicles at ER: 10-12
How many eggs retrieved: 16
How many eggs fertilized: 13
How many days between ER and ET: 5
How many and quality/rating of embryos/blasts transferred: 2 early blasts transferred, 3 blasts frozen on day 6. The frozen ones were 1 grade 1 (best) and 2 grade two (average)
Symptoms or issues during 2WW: none, but my 2ww was only 6 days!
What day you got your BFP: 6dp5dt
HPT before blood test: no, too chicken
Number of first beta: 15
Number of babies: 1 perfect little baby due 11/06/09
Anything else you would have wanted to know before you started this process?

Don't stay with a mediocre RE! I wanted an re that was DOING research rather than going off of someone elses research! If they're taking a canned approach, say buh-bye! You're paying way too much for this to get a canned approach.

The needles really aren't bad, and I'm not a needle person.

Make yourself heard if you don't feel like you're being heard. Do your research so you can talk to the Dr. intelligently if need be to get your point across...

Get a consult from one of the SIRM clinics, they're the best in my opinion!
