Hi ness,
I was lucky, it happened for us first go. We had been TTC for 13 months but due to medications i was on for rhuematoid arthritis we could not fall naturallybecause the meds had built up a coating and little eggies were not sticking after fertalizing (so i have since been told). So through the IVF clinic (Hunter - in newcastle) i was taken off my normal meds, given asprin and clexane injections and thankfully the fertalized egg that was transfered back was a sticker. I now am waiting patiently for march to get here.
I wasn't allowed to transfer in my egg collection cycle because of Ovarian Hyperstimulation Syndrome. It took 3 FETs, using 8 embryos, for success, now 32 weeks and counting.
Actually, I felt wonderful. Apparently hyperstimulation only occurs if there is a transfer and the HCG kicks in.
Unfortunately my Progesterone and Oestrogen levels were so high after the egg collection that it was almost guaranteed, and the clinic (Repromed in Darwin) refused to implant. When they were talking about 40% chance of kidney failure and Intensive Care, I didn't argue too hard.
Personally, I have found over the years that I just seem to have very high Progesterone levels. The Pill I was on for years was the highest dose, and they were a bit worried early in this pregnancy. Maybe I'm a bit insensitive to it.
On the plus side, I got 28 eggs and 21 embryos from the ICSI, so I'm not complaining too hard.
