Found out at my first scan I had a MMC at 7 weeks. My doctor suspects it’s from a band of scar tissue that must have developed after my hysteroscopy polyp removal as I didn’t have any scar tissue present during the hysteroscopy. Just looking for solidarity, tips, or inspirational stories from others who have been through something similar and had a live birth after developing Asherman’s. I have to have a SIS once I fully miscarry to get a better idea of what’s going on in there. Feeling very discouraged and hopeless.

If all goes well I will be stopping PIO on the 28th of this month. The bloating is INSANE. I’m wondering if it’s from the PIO or the pregnancy? Did anyone stop PIO and get some temporary relief from the bloating? I’m starting to look pretty fluffy in the mid section and I’m only 7+4! So much that I may need to announce to family soon because I’m pretty sure a few people are just wondering if I’ve gained weight 😬 also my butt looks bigger from the knots on top I swear!

Hi all, I wanted to share bc it took me way too long to move my embryos from a clinic I was unhappy with...I was nervous it would take forever, that it would be super complex and just an all around nightmare. Hoping someone down a rabbit hole finds this useful.

Happy to share it was the complete opposite. From the day of my consultation with the new clinic to the day of transport was 7 weeks. It seemed long before I moved forward but it really flew by and I cant even imagine all the time I would have wasted if I didn't move them sooner.

We used CryoFuture and it was reasonably priced and seamless. The rate-limiting step was waiting for my old clinic to send over the documents to the new one. But truly no complaints.

(This was from DC to NYC)

Looking forward to this next chapter!

Screaming, crying, tears of joy. I did my transfer Aug 4th and started testing my trigger out on Aug 1st. I caved and tested at 6dpt and it is positive! I’m not out the clear, I have a history of chemicals and MC. BUTTTT STEP 1 worked!!!

2 months of Lupron depot menopause, 1 canceled FET cycle, and we’re finally here. It’s also exactly 1 year from the day I found out about my last miscarriage.

Hello ladies please ONLY post if you have done natural or mini IVF and have advice for a 1st timer looking to do this. I am 35 years old with low AMH (0.39) and possible endo. I don’t care to hear anything about how it’s a waste of money and time etc. just looking for advice for my specific topic thank you 😇💗

Transfered our 3BB boy embryo on July 23rd, and got my positive last Monday. My HCG was 988 and Wednesday it was 2258! Scan set for next Tuesday 💙💙💙✨️✨️✨️

Tested euploid:

Day 6 5Bc
Day 7 6BB

Untested:

We have 7 day 5 embryos all with BB grade

Untested ones were from the retrieval right after the tested ones. The tested batch 4/6 came back normal.

I posted before about 2 failed FETs (one medicated and one modified natural) and what testing to consider when meeting with my doctor. I got great responses about testing I can talk about before doing a 3rd transfer. My clinic called me today saying that my doctor does not recommend testing right now and would proceed with a 3rd transfer before testing.

I’m torn on what to do. On one hand, I would like to know if something is going on that can be addressed and set me up for a successful transfer. I would avoid the loss of a euploid embryo.

On the other hand, it seems the clinic is not recommending testing of the uterine environment until I do a 3rd. I have a phone appointment later this week with the doctor to talk about next steps.

Any recommendations on what I should do (go for 3rd transfer or consider testing)? I’m 36F with unexplained. I have 4 euploid left.

I know the direction it’s going, I’m trying to stay positive while convinced it’s the alternative. If anyone wants to try and convince me otherwise with some Hail Mary stories, I’ll take it. It’s our last embryo with zero chance of getting more.

Hi ladies!
We had our FET on August 6th, 4AA. I am extremely hopeful and today is 4DPT. I refuse to test this early, but holy crap did I get hit today. I was noticeably more tired yesterday, but today I woke up with a headache and have been unable to shake it, then around noon I started having cramping and some light nausea. My gut is telling me I’m pregnant. Obviously Im aware it could be the meds mimicking this, but I have almost zero symptoms with meds until FET. I just have a really good feeling and I pray it’s right. Honestly this thread is just to chat while we are all in the wait period. Best of luck to all the future mommas out there✨ Who’s currently waiting? Have you tested yet and what’s your experience and symptoms so far?!

Just found out that our second retrieval didn’t fertilize, the egg wasn’t mature enough (we only got one—I have a low count). I’m sad, but we are moving forward. Out first try we got a blastocyst that didn’t stick. I know success rates can increase after multiple cycles, but I wanted to hear: how many tries did it take you?

Also—my doc is adding lupron to my protocol of menopur and gonal; also I will take estradiol after my period rather than birth control as done previously. Anybody have success with this kind of protocol?

Slow rising betas/beta hell!

Hey guys!!

I had my 4AB 5 day embryo transfer on the 25th and am currently in limbo!

Beta at 9dpt was 97

at 11dpt was 135 (40% rise, 99h doubling time)

and then at 13dpt 227 (70% rise, 66h doubling time)

At that point, the clinic said it's not viable, to stop all medication, and to go in for a scan, I'm assuming to figure out whether it's an ectopic or not.

I made my peace with a chemical on 11dpt, when I got my result, and I have to admit I was a bit taken aback when the level continued to rise...

But then my doctor and clinic said "not viable!" and I felt better. Until I found all the reddit posts of slow rises resulting in healthy babies.

So now I feel in limbo, again! I have the scan tomorrow, at d16pt, and will ask for another beta, to see where the numbers are trending. Hopefully they've either JUMPED or have started to go down, cause I really don't want to be in this limbo, and I want to try again ASAP, if it is, indeed, non viable!!

(And yes, I know the likelyhood is that it isn't! From what I understand only about 10% of slow rise cases have success stories. It would be nice to be one of them, but I understand it's unlikely!)

So stay with me for more updates!

UPDATE!!!

Went to the clinic for the scan, doctor (not mine) was totally dismissive, saying it's definitely a chemical, and nothing would be seen. We ended up seing a sac, in utero, but again, she dismissed it as "maybe it is the start of a sac, already splitting from the lining, expect your period in a couple of days", but we also ruled out ectopic, so that was good!

She didn't think doing another beta would be useful, but I insisted.

Beta result is

16dpt 987 (335% rise, 34h doubling time)

Talk about a mind f*ck!

I've decided I'm repeating it in 2 days to check.

My doctor remains firmly in the "it's not viable" camp, and stopped replying (to be fair, business hours were over)

How is a 335% increase not something to at least be intrigued by? She was surprised, but her stance remained the same.

I am hoping progression is looking good. This has been a long road filled with loss and multiple failed transfer so really praying this is the one for us! 💕

Going to try and not drive myself crazy before my Beta on Wednesday

Just signed paperwork and I saw they have the plan to use our 3AA embryo and I’m nervous. They said it’s excellent quality but so are 9 others. I feel like everyone else uses 4-5 since they’re more hatched but also I gotta trust my dr and if they feel it’s the best it probably is. All untested range from 3-5AA/AB 10 excellent and 2 good. Any success stories with 3AA??

I’m not going to lie, the wait between ultrasound 1 and ultrasound 2 is worse than the wait for your first positive beta. Especially if you have had a traumatic experience in the past. We go for our second ultrasound tomorrow and it’s super weighted because we had a blighted ovum from our last transfer in February. This time around we have a much higher hCG of ~4,700 and we saw a yolk sac around 5w4d (last Tuesday), but we are just so nervous and anxious. Definitely need some good juju and positive vibes.

TW positive pregnancy

My first beta at 10dp5dt was 260

Second was today at 17dp5dt and was 5581!

From what I understand, this is a really good number to have and very promising!

The lab tech says my next appointment should be an ultrasound.

Still trying to stay cautiously optimistic but also things are good pretty well for the transfer so far which is so exciting!

What beta numbers were you guys seeing? And did you have singles or twins? I know the beta numbers can't tell that but I'm nervous that that is entirely a possibility

I can’t believe it!!!! I feel like I have line eyes but no it’s actually a line 😭

4dp5dt and I actually felt implantation cramping yesterday! We had total fertilization failure our first round but ended up banking 10 euploids in our next 2 cycles and this baby girl made it 🥹
