any updates from TS the progress of IVF? sorry for lazy reading all the pages. thx

hi guys, my wife success in IVF and we got a lovely baby girl. We have a journey page in Facebook (*just that is written in Chinese). If anyone likes to read more can goto my FB page;

here is the link: https://www.facebook.com/ivfjourney2015

My wife was 37 we decide for IVF. We been trying for 4+years and done research for 2+ years before deciding on IVF. I had found a lot of reasoning that IVF is suitable for us because my wife got cysts and my little swimmer is normal "means not very kuat in other words " and we're getting OLD. So i did more research and most article saying should not have problem for pregnancy however some article said it "might" have chances contribute to fertility problems. *I found this article AFTER we're in the IVF process, big gamble huh?*

For your question, "Is it normal to go for IUI first and if it is not successful only go for IVF?". I can't give any advice on this but your age "31", I suggest u to do more research and takes more time to digest all the info. I bet u will come out with better decision, I can't guarantee this will helps but at least this will reduce the mistakes of going to the wrong path. From the body checkup part and into the process will takes u A LOT of $, effort, time, pain and HOPE is the important things.

And this question, "I just did the xray scan, it is so painful I almost fainted. Is IVF painful too?". I really don't know how painful it is, the only thing I participate is everyday I need to use needle to poke my wife belly to inject the medication. If u got time can read my facebook page in my previous reply on top but is in chinese. My wife logging the journey from the day we "think" on IVF until today with my babygirl picture.

Thank you

stressful yet happy. at least I had done trying it. my wife wanted a baby so much and I told her this is only 1 shot gamble, if it does not success don't lose hope and we need to carry on to live a better life even without baby. we're lucky thou, we only got 6 egg and 3 success fertile BUT ONLY "ONE" which is the most suitable best grade to use. so this is truly count on "LUCK" for me as a gift from God.

from the whole process, i remember it and I have few points to tell u that it will increase the success rate.
1. u need to be mentally prepare
2. your husband support from A-Z means from taking care of your emotion, food, care, money to almost anything u need. most importantly is taking care of your emotion and very supportive.
3. always think on the positive side, no matter what happen. (for myself as a Christian, praying is my only option to stay positive, for non Christian i guess u all have a way to make yourself happy and think positive right?)

there is a lot more thing that can increase the success rate, eg, look for the right doctor or fertility centre is also important. anyhow if u able to do all the above mention, i guess by your side had done a great work.

lastly, all the best

thank you

So to hear what u had mentioned. Main problem is on your case described was the sperm right? May I know your hubby age and did doctor said anything about what makes his sperm not good as mentioned?

What attempts and how many times u had done to work this out?

Lastly, u can ignore my question if u not will to publish it into post and I respect it. My purpose is try to find out the problem and "maybe" someone read this can help.

From ur current situation, I really not dare to give any advice as much as I can understand how u guys feels. A little story from my own experience and NOT comparing to yours and I made it shorter for u to read. When we decided to go for IVF, we have a lot of problem lagging in between and most IMPORTANTLY for our side was age and financially (ONLY ABLE TO DO ONE SHOT) if failed we need to accept the truth of not having baby and live the rest of our life which is very very hard to accept. Before we go for IVF, I told my wife all the things that we will face and even if we failed we need to face it and will tell our self that we did our best.

What I trying to tell inside this superb short story is, don't give up, don't lose hope and try to make both u and husband happy and as long as u both had tried your very best to make this happen. Time is limited but not the end yet.

this time I can give a little advice when ur saying getting tired coz of too many obstacle. plan a small break and have fun! it won't consume u too much time but it will let u refresh just like restarting up your computer. this will makes u run smoother

hope it helps!

feel sorry for your results. may i ask, 2 times also (Day 2 – Day 4) embryo stage? or is a Blastocyst Stage (Day 5)?

*please ignore my question if u don't feels like answering, it is ok*

my wife doctor said to embryo at day 5 blastocyst stage have higher chances but this might not be the only reason, it might be some other unknown reason. anyhow, there is way to increase the rates higher.

when is your last time ivf?

This post has been edited by skydrake: Oct 3 2016, 12:11 PM

yes, because blastocyst got more cells. however as i said this is NOT the only element that makes it success. still got many things beyond consuming supplements eg, lifestyle as in your daily stress in family or work, eating habits, alcohol, tobacco intake too. a lot of it needs to be taken care.

Not only wife side, husband side is very important to produce a higher grade sperm and support in every aspect.

lastly, all above is can be done and the rest is pray because beyond our control.

what's ur age now? still got any frozen embryo?

as u had mentioned u only take folid acid, maybe u should increase supplements. I had PM u my wife FB page, u can go there can see.. a lot article/topic similar your cases. since u have 2 embryo left, maybe u can think about getting ready again for next attempt but don't be too rush.

my wife had help many couple successful in ivf in this page, we're both happy that out testimonial helps. my daughter getting naughtier day by day now, every morning she woke up and my wife put her on my bed and she roll roll over to me and slap me while i still sleeping

yes, u need time to strengthen your body and mentally too! u need some soul food to release your stress. i can suggest u to go for a sweet holiday with your husband, try to get as sweet as possible so that your both going to be parents mentally prepare. this will helps your stress level control to the best, love is the best medicine ever
