IVF is new for me. I have never had difficulty getting pregnant. Now, staying pregnant, that is another story. I miscarried before each of my sons and and then once last year. Since then, nothing, no bfp and not for lack of trying.
I went for testing last year to find out why I micarry but no answers were found.
While I was at the RE I learned about a clinical trial involving IVF, and so, here we are.
Stimming Meds were a BREEZE, never had any problems. I was never uncomfortable.
My retrieval was on 7/31/08 and we got TWENTY, 17 of which fertilized. By day three (the first possible day for transfer) there were still 16 growing nicely, so the embryologist decided to wait until day 5. By then, there were only 8 growing well, and only 4 of them were "great". The embryologist picked two and did the transfer. That day I had an awful stomach ache and feel like that just screwed up everything.
I go for my beta test on the 13th, so instead of the historically infamous 2ww, I only have a 9 day wait, I am just as frantic.
I started using hpts (cheap little dip sticks) the night BEFORE the transfer. I was monitoring to see when the hcg from the trigger left my system.
Today I am 4dp5dt and I have gotten a BFN. Okay, like 5 BFN. I just don't have a good feeling about this. BUT, I do have pictures of my 2 beautiful blastocysts hanging on my wall across from my bed.
