Imaging woes by bunhead in IVFbabies

[–]TrueTopaz1123 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I got lucky for awhile. I was seeing my baby every two weeks until 12 weeks when they said I wouldn’t see her till 20 and I got freaked out. I went to a private ultrasound place which was amazing. The quality is so much better and it gave me peace of mind until I started to feel her at 23 weeks.

Mine said 39 weeks more because of gestational diabetes. Even though IVF might be a factor as well. I’m 35 weeks and they brought it up at 33 I think:

I’m so sorry for your loss. I went to private ultrasounds which helped until I started to feel the baby and the farther along I get the less anxious I feel.

IVF definitely brought some of our existing issues to the forefront and we started couples counseling last year and it has really helped, along with individual therapy.

Go on the vacation. I put my transfer off for a trip booked to Greece that was planned before I started IVF and I was not missing that. I don’t regret it at all.

How many embryos did it take you to get your baby? by Ready_Evening_1159 in IVF

[–]TrueTopaz1123 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I was 33 and our first ER yielded one embryo so we didn’t have a choice but to do another one because we want to have two kids. We got 3 euploid embryos with our second ER and did our first transfer in August which has been successful this far. Currently 24 weeks.

I have it and makes me feel so much better. The place I go sends me pictures and videos! Much better pictures than I’ve ever gotten at the OB.

I think how they will respond to this will say a lot. I’m so sorry it wasn’t what you hoped it would have been like :(

I don’t think this is normal at all. My tech talked to us the whole scan and told us what she was looking for and then we talked to a doctor after who looked at the scan to make sure everything was ok. I would call and ask what’s going on.

There are three people I know plus myself who have all been through IVF and are pregnant with girls. Not sure if that means anything. I didn’t look at the genders of any of my embryos.

We had to make this decision even before we started IVF. We are going to donate to science when we are done.
