Hi dreambear,
I have been silent reader for the past 2-3 cycles. Dun give up. My personal experience i went thru 6 ivf attempts, 2frozen n 4 fresh cycles. In fact my current gynae is amazed that i can go thru so many attempts n continue to b persistent. My 1st to 4th cycle were under care, dosage n progrstrone pills increase n increase after every failed cycle, i was so stressed over it, even blue black on my tummy permanently after 4 jabs daily..it happened so fast that i din realised i went thru 4 cycles in less than a hear since i embarked on ivf, i even went tcm n accupuntcture. All the travelling n queuing were really mentally tired.
5th cycle was frozen where i trsf the 2 frozen embeddies from care to parkway east, was so sad when dr said it was barely surviving when they did fet.
Finally we did 6th attempt fresh cycle in march, this time me n my dh decided we forgo watever tcm or acunpuncture, everything as low profile as possible, with the most relaxed mind. Adter every scan n visit, instead of increasing my jab dosage, dr decrease my dosage twice, from 250 purgeon to 200.
15 folliciles retrieve, 11 matured, 9 fertilised. We did day 5 blastocycst trsf n left 2 frozen embeedies for storage. Et on 21 march, 1apr bt. Hcg 162.. First time hear my hcg more than 30, we were so happy n cant believe it.in fact dr said if i nvr get pregnant once during 5 attempts, chamces of striking this time is vy vy low, we were so dishearted n thats y this cycle we really din take it to heartt during 2ww.
Ytd did hcg bt again, it has gone up to 8k++, so glad its increasing that i now cfm i have a bb inside growing. Now counting down to next monday heartbeat u/s...
So wat i can conclude dun give up, must be persistent, god will answer our prayers..
