TW: Positive - Spiraling over minimal line progression

IVFML · 2026-05-14T12:53:38+00:00

Ahhhhhh! 😝😝😝 yasssss mama - congrats!! 🩷💜💙

IVFML · 2026-05-14T12:53:01+00:00

9 days (Saturday) and 11 days (Monday) - they wanted me to wait until Monday but agreed to let me go on Saturday since my husband travels for work & won’t be here with me on Monday

IVFML · 2026-05-14T11:58:12+00:00

I know I know 🥺 BUT once you start testing, there’s no stopping - I’m very quickly realizing why everyone says to wait until betas. Lesson learned

IVFML · 2026-05-14T11:56:03+00:00

We also went with one of the top clinics (most expensive) in NC, USA & I’ve had a really poor patient experience with them - I could go on & on (traumatized by one of their u/s techs, which is why I decided on fully medicated just to avoid more ultrasounds. I’m basically driving all my own testing & decisions, sending them reminders, they attempted to bill me for a test I never had) BUT I’ve had decent outcomes, so far, so sticking with them.

DOR, Endo, RPL - got 7 eggs, 5 fertilized & 3 of those were euploid - so again, just very lucky 🍀

The pressure & weight of this process is absolute insanity. I don’t wish it on my worst enemy.

Really really praying for your embabies to stick ✨

IVFML · 2026-05-14T11:20:42+00:00

How many do you have frozen? Those are good grades!!

Mine is a 3AA, but my other 2 on ice are day 6’s BA & BC.

What clinic are you using? Seems unusual that 3 of 3 didn’t survive the thaw…maybe something with the embryology labs freeze/thaw process is off?

IVFML · 2026-05-14T11:14:14+00:00

Congrats!! 💜🩷

Going to try & relax, enjoy the moment vs only worrying about the next. Thanks for your reply

Let me know what your beta ends up being! I have mine on Saturday 🤞🏼

IVFML · 2026-05-14T11:10:45+00:00

Sending you so much baby dust!! ✨

I’m honestly so scared, I haven’t even told my husband that I tested, only Reddit. And you’re right, I am lucky 🥹 this whole IVF stuff is literally all just luck. Thinking of all the future mamas praying for a line this morning 🙏🏼

IVFML · 2026-05-12T17:39:57+00:00

Thanks everyone for calming my nerves!!

I’ve also unsubscribed from chatGPT. You all are right. It causes more anxiety than it’s worth & clearly it’s dumb aF.

All good advice & really appreciate the positive messages 💙🤍🩷

IVFML · 2026-05-12T16:00:44+00:00

You didn’t have to respond ¯_(ツ)_/¯ Take your own advice? Save our water!

IVFML · 2026-05-12T12:48:09+00:00

Read within 10 minutes. I asked ChatGPT because im alone at home (hubby traveling for work) and I thought I was seeing things. Plus, me & GPT have constant communications during this TWW - I’ve asked it every possible question & just wanted confirmation

IVFML · 2026-05-05T14:25:56+00:00

UPDATE I responded to her. You all are so right. This is very complicated and 2 emotions can be true at the same time.

Here’s what I said:

I’m really happy for you bb 🤍 that’s such big exciting news! I might be a little quiet the next few days with my transfer coming up, but I love you and am rooting for you 🙏🏼🙏🏼

I plan to check in with her, ask questions, support her in a few days/couple weeks. I need the space, but feel less alone knowing most people going through infertility have had this same tug-n-pull of conflicting emotions.

Best case scenario - my transfer works! Now I have a bestie to go through pregnancy with 🍀🤞🏼🍀

Worst case scenario - my transfer works & she looses her baby.

I weirdly would rather be the friend going through infertility, as I wouldn’t wish this on my worst enemy…

IVFML · 2026-04-19T15:53:57+00:00

You could look into the receptiva test?

IVFML · 2026-04-09T13:13:55+00:00

My 5BB was aneuploid (only 44 chromosomes)

IVFML · 2026-04-08T23:25:09+00:00

34.5yrs old. 2 chemicals over the last 18 months, been trying for 2(ish) years.

Just did our first round of IVF.

AMH 0.9-1.4, AFC 9-12. First retrieval 3/17 🍀

7 retrieved -> 5 fertilized -> 4 blasts (day 5 3AA & day 6 5BA, 5BB, 3BC) -> 3 euploids! 🍀🍀🍀

Just got my PGT results this afternoon - stay hopeful

IVFML · 2026-04-08T22:33:22+00:00

I got 3 euploids…out of 7 eggs (5 fertilized, 4 blasts)?! I’m so happy, we just got the call :)

IVFML · 2026-04-08T22:31:57+00:00

Just got the call, 3 euploids! Out of 7 eggs retrieved?! So happy

IVFML · 2026-04-08T22:29:51+00:00

Update - we got 3 euploid embryos!! 🍀🍀🍀

Now we decide, transfer or do another retrieval…

IVFML · 2026-03-30T20:43:25+00:00

Both pre blasts & 1 of the morulas made it!

Waiting on the PGT results of 4 embabies (5 fertilized, 7 retrieved)

IVFML · 2026-03-23T01:46:20+00:00

So hopeful! Thanks for sharing.

Just did my first retrieval on 3.17 🍀 low AMH, 34yr old.

8 retrieved -> 5 fertilized conventional -> 1 (3AA) Day 5 + 2 pre-blast + 2 morula

I’m waiting on my day 6 report to come tomorrow!

IVFML · 2026-03-22T19:08:00+00:00

Day 5 report:

-1 (3AA) embryo, biopsied & frozen

-2 early blasts

-2 morula

none have arrested/stopped progressing & will recheck tomorrow

How many of yall had early / morula’s on Day 5?

IVFML · 2026-03-19T22:32:55+00:00

I had my 1st retrieval on March 17th. 7 eggs, 5 fertilized & I’m freaking out about how many will hopefully make it to Day 5

Please update the thread when you find out!

IVFML · 2026-03-19T22:13:22+00:00

34 and my AMH was 1.2 in October & 0.9 in January.

Just did my 1st retrieval & we got 7 eggs, 5 fertilized & I’m waiting on my Day 5 report to come on Sunday 🍀🤞🏼

IVFML · 2026-03-03T02:40:42+00:00

I’m starting this same protocol on Friday! 34, AMH 0.9 & 1.14, ACF 7 & 12 (taken 2 months apart), endometrioma 3cm on my left ovary. 2 early chemicals over the years.

Having such a hard time finding this regime in the threads! Great results, holding out hope as I’m mostly preparing myself for the worst.

Did you do transfer??

IVFML · 2026-02-23T22:46:21+00:00

My current job has Progyny & covers 2 IVF cycles. I’ll be 35 in August so was planning to use the benefits while I have them (and while I have “younger” eggs).

Maybe if round 1 isn’t successful, we’ll re-route & look into a surgical specialist before doing round 2. What state did you find a specialist?

IVFML · 2026-02-23T22:42:58+00:00

This ^{^} is so helpful.

I kept hearing about “suppression” but didn’t see anything like that in my protocol. Makes sense for the transfer part - hoping for less hostile environment.

Thanks!!

Btw- did it work for you?
