[quote=dndtaylor]Hi Ladies. This post was brought to my attention as being a great thread for a "sticky" and I agree. Ther are some great questions that others going through IVF can use as support. Thanks for the thread idea Irena! Please answer as much as you can. Your expierences often give others guidance and encouragement.
So who has success with IVF? Tell us about it! (You only need to fill out as much of the questions as you want to. Also, FET successes are welcome as well!)

Name: Kalmi
Age: 31 How long TTC: 2.5 yrs Diagnosis or any known issues: PCOS; a retroverted uterus and hairpin turn in my cervix didn't help either. Treatments you tried before IVF: 1 Clomid cycle, 2 Clomid+IUI, 1 Injectibles+IUI How many IVF did you do before success: 2 Are you using donor eggs or sperm: No Protocol (meds taken): Long Lupron protocol-Lupron, Gonal-F, PIO (Cabergoline and Estrace too) How many follicles at ER: 12 on the 1st try, 9 on the 2nd try How many eggs retrieved: 9 / 8 How many eggs fertilized: 5 / 5 How many days between ER and ET: 3dt both times How many and quality/rating of embryos/blasts transferred: 2x8A / 1x8A + 1x7A Symptoms or issues during 2WW: No spotting at all, AF-like cramps mainly in the morning, ruptured follicle so bad it caused a trip to the hospital at 1AM, fatigue, sore bbs, vivid dreams. What day you got your BFP: 7/13/09 (12dp3dt) HPT before blood test: Yes, the night before. Number of first beta: 278 Number of babies: 1 Anything else you would have wanted to know before you started this process! 1. It's OK to demand info from your RE/clinic. They are there to help you get pregnant, and they should help you feel as comfortable as possible while in their care. Speak up if you feel uneasy. 2. Get a hobby that has nothing to do with infertility so you have an escape once in a while. Or try and hang out with friends more often. IF gets really lonely and isolated at times. 3. That this place existed! This website has been so wonderful in educating me about all things IF, and you ladies are truly amazing and inspirational. I'm so glad I found you! Good luck to you all!
