Name: Anna
Age: 31
How long TTC: 2+ years
Diagnosis or any known issues: PCOS, Endo, High FSH
Treatments you tried before IVF: Artificial Insemination
How many IVF did you do before success: We were successful on our first try.
Are you using donor eggs or sperm: No
Protocol (meds taken): Lupron, Follistim (225 2x daily), baby aspirin, dexamethasone, Ovidrel for trigger
How many follicles at ER: 5 mature, 3 immature
How many eggs retrieved: 4
How many eggs fertilized: 3
How many days between ER and ET: 5
How many and quality/rating of embryos/blasts transferred: 1 very high quality, 1 pre-blastocyst
Symptoms or issues during 2WW: tender and swollen breasts, fatigue, lots of cramping
What day you got your BFP: 05/18/08
HPT before blood test: Yes, faint line starting 5dp5dt
Number of first beta: 246
Number of babies: Waiting to find out
Anything else you would have wanted to know before you started this process! I wish I had pushed harder about my painful menstrual cramps because we could have diagnosed the endo much sooner. The shots aren't as bad as they seem. The emotional aspects are harder than you can imagine. A high FSH doesn't mean you can't get pregnant. Good luck to everyone!

Anything else you would have wanted to know before you started this process! I really didn't realize that the process could be so long. I thought you stimmed then it worked or it didn't. I didn't know that you could overstimulate, or be cancelled for cyst or for High E2 levels. It took 4 months from beginning to first IVF due to cancellations because of cyst, then I overstimulated and was cancelled again. Then it took 2 FETs to work so almost a year total before BFP!!__________________

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".

Are you using donor eggs or sperm: no
Protocol (meds taken):Lupron, Gonal F can't remember exactly
How many follicles at ER:never was told
How many eggs retrieved:8
How many eggs fertilized:5 mature with icsi all 5 fertilized
How many days between ER and ET:3 day transfer
How many and quality/rating of embryos/blasts transferred:2 Grade A transfered none left to freeze at day 5
Symptoms or issues during 2WW:Not too many cried really hard the day before beta because I really didn't believe it worked.
What day you got your BFP:Broke down and tested day before beta I think it was 10dp3dt.
HPT before blood test:yes
Number of first beta:50
Number of babies:1
Anything else you would have wanted to know before you started this process! I had accually wrote a letter to my employer earlier in 2007 about covering infertility treatments, I used the one from resolve website, I never thought that they would do anything about it, being that I work for a very large bank, well after we already paid for and started the process I got a call from employer and they decided to pick up a fertility rider with the insurance company. So I urge every one that doesn't have coverage to atleast try to ask employer. It is such a long journey from start to finish I wish that I would have tried to relax more even through my pregnancy. It never truly goes away till you have the baby in your arms.
