NgYL, do you mind to share how was your ivf journey like? How many fresh or FET you've had done before?
Hi redvel, I had my 1st fresh cycle done last year. Retrieved 28 eggs, fertilized 16 but only 9 survived. Transferred 2 grade 4s but failed the cycle. Back then, I haven't started reading the forum or found out more about IVF/ICSI, so just 傻傻 went for my ER and ET... I was doing regional work and the only one handling APAC. Even though I was given hospitalization leave, my company kept asking me to go to work. It was a 24/7 kind of work due to time difference - I was so stress with work!
Of course I failed my cycle and was really sad... I started reading this thread and got to know lots of things which are shared by the sisters here (thanks sisters!). I went for TCM, and tried those foods such as Brazil nuts, chicken essence and red beans during the 2ww. I also realize quality of life is very important, so I quitted my job just 1 month before the transfer.
This is my 1st frozen cycle. Dr recommended to culture 4 embryos to blastocyst which only 2 survives. They are both grade 3s. I was very sad last year why I do not have more good grades embryo, but Dr told me grade is not that important. U just need one good and strong embryo to stick to you!
This pregnancy is not so smooth. I was coughing and had running nose for 3 solid months. As FTM, I get paranoid easily after reading all those internet stories, don't-dos, to-dos, etc. Additionally, I had few spotting experience... However, I told myself to relax & finally 1st Trimester is over!
No problem,i hope i can get to have a feel of tt bfp feeling n being a happy mother in my lifetime . Cross fingers**.is this yr no 1?
Hi connie_hopeful, yes this is my 1st baby. I'm sure you will be blessed and will be a happy mother soon! Stay positive!
