Ask the girl doing in-vitro fertilization (IVF)

Congratulations! I remember seeing the very faint line thinking it was much further apart then I expected. I bought a lot of tests and took pictures of it getting darker until the beta. You can check out betabase board to compare your doubling times.

Congratulations! I remember how nervous I was during my IVF pregnancy, especially in the beginning, so I hope your pregnancy goes as routinely as possible!

Faint just means your hcg levels are low since it is early in your pregnancy! But that is definitely a positive test and will get darker and darker as your levels double. Fyi, I transferred one lone embryo and got a healthy baby out of it. In your case, you may even have twins. Congrats!!

I started Suprefact on the 11th of March and have an u/s booked for the 26th and hopefully will be travelling to Calgary on the 29th to finish treatment. Your posts and your results have given me great hope EmanJ. Thank you and congrats to you. I hope everything goes well for us as well :slight_smile:

I was so nervous clicking on this thread. I am thrilled to hear the updates and will continue to send vibes for a safe, healthy pregnancy.

Thanks everyone, and good luck kristeen030!

I’m not sure if it’s going to turn out to be viable. Test lines are getting lighter, to the point that I could hardly see it this morning at 12dp3dt. I did go in for a beta yesterday and will get the results this morning, but it looks like it might be a chemical. Fingers crossed for some miracle!

Got the call - beta was a 4, which is technically not pregnant. It looks like something implanted but just didn’t make it.

I need to take a few months off to get myself together and we’ll look at doing the frozen embryo transfer (FET) later this year - July/August maybe.

Thanks for all the support and kind words everyone. :slight_smile:

I’m sorry, Em. :frowning: That stinks. I hope you keep us in on the loop when FET time arrives, because we’re all pulling for you!

Thanks, I appreciate it. :slight_smile:

I’m doing all right. We have a lot to look forward to (Hawaii in two weeks and another trip in May) and work is thankfully busy. Not to mention I’ll be starting my thesis research in a few months. Busy is good right now.

I’m sorry, mi chica. Chin up, we may arrive at this place from different ships but now we’re in the same boat!

Sigh. I’m so sorry, I was really hoping this one would work for you. All the best for the future transfer.

I once had a beta of 5 so I know exactly how you feel. I am so sorry.

I’m so sorry.

So sorry :(. I had 3 fail before the one that took so I know how u feel . Hang in there.

Fuck. So sorry.

I’m sorry. I hope the frozen transfer works for you. Take care of yourself!

Thoughts are with you.

Fuck. I’m sorry.

((hugs)) So, so sorry, E :frowning:

Here’s hoping that the next few months fly by for you and you’re barfing by Labor Day :wink:

Oh man, so gutted to hear that, I know what a failed cycle feels like. Hope you’re doing OK.
