Dilek, thanks so much for taking the time to respond, and WOW congrats on your BFP, i wish you all the luck and love for the future and lots of sticky embie vibes XXX Take care hun and best wishes, will have a read of your journal too XX

My story in a nutshell was we had pretty good result all way though considering the quality of my DH sperm we did pretty well. After hearing your problems Dilek, i count my blessings that i do not have problems like you and have to suffer pain like endo We had approx 16 follies little dissapointed with only 10 eggs but think some were immature...not sure need to ask. My clinic has an average of 7 eggs (not like in americ where you seem to get 40 eggs per cycle from massivly over stimming!) Out of the 10, 9 could be injected with ICSI, 5 fertilised which is not a great number but we had qulaity on our side and 4 were top quality and 1 just below. Embryologist was positive at our results.

I do wish i had made them transfer 2 of my embies now though, i feel its the biggest mistake i made in my whole story so far, they said due to "young age" age (i am 33!!!! haha), having the best embryo quality and my so far good history (no probs identified) basically only one should be transfered.... i would say to others do what you want to do, i feel mine did not work as i was negative from the day they transfered only one, i had it in my head i wanted 2 transfered so it sent me in a spin really....i know thats all nonsense but then we have to believe in stupid things like that to get us through our failures and give us some reasons i suppose !!
Stick to your guns and do what you want to do if you want 2 have 2, see, my apparently "perfect" embryo did not take, since then i have read many people who transfer apparently poor quality embies thinking they will not take AND THEY DO, i tell this just in case someone is reading it thinking i only had one "poor one" transfered....truth is they dont really know what is good and bad they can only choose ones that look good..... this does not mean to say they are......many lower grade embiees result in great, perfectly healthy babys!!!!

We need more success stories girls....come on XX

Arhhh ic akcher, i understand now x

2 IUIs, both medicated, and our first ICSI worked. I'm 17 weeks pregnant with twins. We had decreased sperm motility and I wasn't ovulating consistently.

I started with 16 eggs, 11 were mature, 9 fertilized. By day 3, 8 of the 9 were going strong and by day 5 there were 3 left. 1 was perfect and 2 were mediocre so we put back all 3.

Hi there,

Well my first IVF was a bust. Didn't do ICSI though. They completely gave me the wrong stimulation protocol the first time and overstimulated my ovaries. By the time I had my first blood draw (4 days of stims) my E2 was over 5000. We stopped it then and I had to start with a new protocol 3 months later. So now I'm 8 weeks pregnant with twins. It was heartbreaking to fail the first time around, but so worth it to get to the second where they knew how I would respond.

Before IVF I had 8 IUI's and 2 of those were with clomid.

Good luck!

Thanks girls, and congrats on your BFPs and pregnancys and all the luck for a healthy bouncing baby!! Anymore inspirational stories out there?? xx

Come on we need more, i think i am gonna go to fertility friends.co.uk soon as that board seems to get far more response! :P

Go to the May IVF thread. There are tons of s there.

I have been on there, would but would be nice if people shared there stories on here so its all in one place never mind, i have praticially given up on this forum, people dont seem to be able to be assed!!

You cant make people answer your threads hun

I have an idea.. lets post a thread with IVF success stories... which details how many times it took before BFP, how many eggs, how many embies, how many embies transferred and then reason for infertility. what do u guys think?
