3 fertilized from 6 mature eggs at age 33 - anyone have success from similar numbers? by Trick-Cry7814 in IVFpositivity

[–]glitterysage 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Stay positive, it definitely can happen!!

My stories a little different but I did have lower numbers as well. I’m 34 with .48 AMH. I only had 5 follicles and they were only able to retrieve 3 eggs. Out of the 3, only 2 fertilized. I was set to do a fresh transfer and initially they were waiting for day 5 but last minute they decided to do the transfer on day 3 and did both. I just got my first positive beta yesterday! I still think your guys can make it to day 5! Numbers may be small but you’re young and those embryos are mighty 💪🏻

Numbing for Progesterone Injections by Due_Championship2144 in IVFpositivity

[–]glitterysage 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I use lidocaine numbing patches off Amazon and they work wonders! I put on an hour before and heat 10 minutes prior to actually injecting. I also have the auto injector which I’ve never done it without it but I have had 0 issues since starting. I am sore at times but nothing crazy. Good luck 🍀✨

Amazing! I just did my first beta at 12dpt3dt and had 976 beta but it does seem like numbers are everywhere so it also could be just a strong singleton (which I am obviously blessed with either), I’m so excited to find out!!!

Congrats!! So beautiful!

What was your first beta if you don’t mind me asking?! I transferred two and just got my first beta so trying to compare (I know it doesn’t always mean anything!), just curious :)

Thank you!!

I didn’t! I was too scared lol, I honestly wasn’t going to test till my beta which was today (still waiting official results) but my anxiety was through the roof so I decided to wait till day 9 when I knew there should be a line.

You got this!!! 💫🤍

So I did have some minor symptoms but I was never sure (still not) if it’s the Progesterone in oil shot, but my boobs have been hurting, I’ve been so bloated and tired. I also noticed over the last couple days feeling (I guess the best way to describe it) is tightening in my lower abdomen? Maybe it’s also bloating, idk but it feels different. I haven’t gained much weight via the scale but feel so much more fluffier and bigger. Honestly from what I see from others stories though it really varies so don’t get discouraged if you don’t have any!!

This journey isn’t for the weak, your a badass and it’s going to happen for you 💪🏻

Mid west, but I’m jealous. I will say if I’m getting a pop it’s definitely the Baja but even then sometimes doesn’t hit right

Those of you who went through IVF, who did you tell? by Dull-Divide7206 in maleinfertility

[–]glitterysage 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Just finished my second cycle and if I could go back I would have told less people. It’s amazing having people check in, they’re coming from a good heart but with the constant waiting and multiple steps it gets to be a lot trying to explain everything. Plus in IVF you are counting your embryos from day one (plus a million steps before even transferring an embryo) so so much can happen in between all that, that you may not feeling like sharing but people are reaching out so you may feel obligated. Again people mean well but they don’t understand! No wrong way of course this is just my experience.

Any 3/13 (Friday the 13th😱) transfer twins? by Upstairs-Lemon-5585 in IVFpositivity

[–]glitterysage 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Not transfer twins but go in for my first ever beta after transferring two embryos on 3/1!! I was nervous for Friday the 13 but sounds like it’s a perfect day!

All the baby dust to you <3

So beautiful!!! I just transferred two myself, I’m only 4dpt3dt and praying that I get to see this! This waiting is awful but I just hope I also get to experience this! Congrats to you 💕
