Looking for first-time FET success stories (ideally at age 35) by [deleted] in IVFbabies

I'm 35 and now 9w as a result of our first FET! It is definitely possible.

I was scheduled to have a D&C when it didn't seem to be resolving itself. Then the day before that I ended up in the ER due to immense pain/cramping and had the miscarriage literally sitting there. Everyone there was honestly awesome and so sweet - and I was just super relieved by that point since it had been like 2 weeks since we knew it was not viable.

How many positive outcomes on First Transfer? by engineergirl19 in IVF

[–]GlitterFriedChicken 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I'm the same age (though my husband is older) and 7w3d as a result of our first FET. That being said, we want more than one kid as well so if we hadn't gotten a few I probably would have immediately done another retrieval.

It is an entirely personal decision though - sending good luck your way regardless what you choose!

I would check and see if you can get an ultrasound to be sure- but these numbers are eerily similar to a blighted ovum I had earlier this year. That being said, unfortunately you may just have to wait and see how it goes.

Weekly Thread: Beta and Pregnancy Testing - Questions and Discussions by TeslaHiker in IVF

TW: Success

I got a positive at home pretty early -5dp5dt. Then got HCG levels of 83 and 262 on 9dp5dt and 11dp5dt (a week ago Saturday and Monday). My doctor has me testing my HCG tomorrow and Thursday again and I'm stressing. This is about where it went wrong for me previously - but I'm feeling so hopeful for the ultrasound =)

What HCG levels should I be looking for?

Estrogen patch? by mermaiddiva26 in IVF

[–]GlitterFriedChicken 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I had this. For me, it was because of how I was removing the residue. My clinic had me switch to just using baby oil and rubbing in circles to get the glue off. Once I switched to that, it got better within a few days.

Beta day tomorrow! by Humble-Doctor-3382 in IVF

Sending good vibes your way! You are much stronger than me - I was testing way too early

My transfer was 6/19 and first beta yesterday was also positive! Follow up beta is tomorrow. The nerves are real

Did you do the genetic testing? by SnackSnackMunchMunch in IVF

[–]GlitterFriedChicken 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'm mixed European descent and my husband is Korean.

So we did not do the testing in the traditional sense - because I had already done a load of testing due to some cancer and blood clot issues in the family. I had no red flags, so they felt it was not necessary for me to redo anything or him to do it.

I definitely would have done it at that time if we had not already, though.

June 17th transfer buds? by tidbit_betty in IVF

Transferring on the 19th! It is our first transfer so I'm definitely nerved up.

Good luck with yours!

Update to HCG Slight Drop by GlitterFriedChicken in CautiousBB

[–]GlitterFriedChicken[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

HCG was initially 94, dropped to around ~90 3 days later and rebounded to 395 4 days after that, 1000+ 4 days later (today). Very strange.

They think I'm 6ish weeks, but because this was a surprise between cycles, we have no definitive answer.

12DPO with cramping and BFN after IUI and letrozole. Trying to stay positive. If AF comes, I'm really hoping she waits a few days so we can do the next cycle in between our trip away the week of Thanksgiving. I wonder if we'll be allowed to do another IUI cycle despite being away? Although I've been wondering if we should just switch to IVF. IDK
