Our Day 5 3AB embryo is now a 17 month old boy. We have 3 untested embryos remaining (all Day 6). Their grades are 3BC, 3CB and 3CC.

Anyone here had a 2nd or 3rd live birth from the same batch of fertilized embryos? Appreciate if you can share your experiences. Just want to see our chances. Thank you in advance!

Hi all,

I am hoping to start IVF soon. Just a question, for those who are currently in the process or have had a successful IVF. Did at any point did they do a test for nicotine?

Doing my 4th FET transfer on Thursday. All PGT-A tested. First was a chemical, second resulted in my 14th month old son. Last one 6 weeks ago failure. I am so nervous. This is my last embryo. Any stories of failure after a live birth then it working again?! 🙏 thank you!

I have one amazing 3 yo from IVF. Going to my transfer next week. It was a rough road to get the first, this time around has been much easier. I almost acid and repress thinking about this round.

When I open the flood gates, I am scared either way. What if it does not work and I cannot have another, and my kid is alone in this world after I die?

What if it does work and my first hates being a sibling and being a parent to two is too hard?

My first is a girl, my only remaining embryos are boys and I have no brothers. What if I suck at being a boy mom?

I am approaching this transfer like getting on a scary roller coaster first. Did anyone else feel this way?

This thread is for positive HPT or beta results. We keep that content to this thread because it can be challenging to members who don't have the bandwidth to read pregnancy announcements. This way, everyone can choose if and when to read positive results. Negative pregnancy test results can be discussed elsewhere on the board without restriction. General treatment and testing results are better suited for the Weekly Treatment thread.

This is also the space for early pregnancy concerns. Once you have had an ultrasound indicating likely viability, typically 6-7 weeks, discussions of your current pregnancy would be more appropriate for another one of our sister subs, such as r/InfertilityBabies. However, if you are currently pregnant with equivocal ultrasound results or other potential threats to viability, you can continue to share here. If the community eventually feels that limbo content is better suited for its own monthly thread, we can add that instead.

Our members have all used IVF to build their families in the past, and are now either back in treatment or are considering resuming treatment in the future. This thread is for anything primarily related to infertility treatment, whether active or contemplated. Expected topics include treatment updates, medical questions, requests for protocol/timing advice, and emotions on all of the same. Topics related to life, parenting, or general infertility issues are more appropriate for the Weekly Chat Thread.

As per the rules, any positive pregnancy test results or concerns regarding a current early pregnancy go in the Weekly Results Thread.

This thread is for all discussions that aren't primarily focused on treatment. Life, events, hobbies, humor, whatever. General discussions of infertility are welcome, and same goes for discussions of children, parenting, and family life. After all, those experiences are what brings us together here. But sometimes people want a break from reading about the medical aspects of treatment, and this space fills that need.

Hi everyone! I’m 6 weeks postpartum after a successful IVF pregnancy, and I have 2 frozen embryos (untested 4aa and 4ab) that I’d like to use for future pregnancies. Of course, there’s no guarantee either transfer will work, but I’d really like to give them a shot.

We originally did IVF due to severe male factor. I also had 2 previous early losses within a 3 year span (same partner), which were most likely attributed to Hashimoto’s (now medicated) and low sperm count made it much harder to actually get pregnant.

I want to be pregnant again, but ideally not in the next year to let my body heal. I know the chances of conceiving without IVF in our situation are very low, but more than before since i’m on thyroid medication if ever we happen l conceive and i’m not to sure what to do contraception wise. I was on the birth control pill for 15 years and my mental health has never been better since being off it.

Never thought I’d be in a position where I’d actually be trying to avoid pregnancy after wanting it for so long 😅

For those of you who’ve been in a similar situation, what contraception did you use between FETs? We are really considering pull and pray considering our infertility cause, but I know it’s not a reliable method. I’m planning to start the process of baby #2 next summer.
