Who had Success first go with IVF/ICSI

[PurpleChic]

Hello Ladies
Hubby and I are about to embark on the IVF journey. He has had the snip some years ago and we would like to have a baby. We have been saving for this and really don't have surplus to have many attempts as many of you would be the same. I was just curious who had success first time round with icsi. We both have children from previous relationships and had no trouble conceiving there.

we didn't do icsi. But we fell duirng our first IVF cycle. DH is fine but you name it, I seem to have it.... PCOS, endo and blocked tube. I'd say your odds are good if you conceived easily before. Fingers crossed for you.

Some people get very lucky with their first cycles - hopefully you will be one of them.
I think you should be realistic, though - most first cycles do not work, unfortunately. It's all a bit random I'm afraid. Our first cycle was a complete bust - no eggs. But we succeeded on our next, which was our first transfer.
Good luck!

Our first IVF/ISCI was a big success, our baby girl will be two next Monday

Purple chic - just thought i'd add my glimmer of hope...due to DH vas many many moons ago and a failed (and very costly) reversal, we underwent ICSI with sperm asp. in 2007. We only got 6 eggs at EPU (despite LOTS of follies) and after ICSI only 2 viable - A 2 dayer fortunately produced our DD (2 yrs). The other is being transfered by FET tomorrow (if it thaws), but i'm being realistic it might not happen again and we may have just struck it lucky 1st go. I really do think it is individual and no statistics will represent your situation. Best of luck with it all, we can only hope and pray and try to keep ourselves sane while we go through this journey!!!

Dear PurpleChic,

Just to give you some more hope, I've been doing my first round of IVF (ICSI, to be precise) over the past month, and just found out today that it's resulted in a BFP! And that happened even though I only had 6 follies at EPU, which resulted in only 2 embies (4 didn't fertilize despite using ICSI). (I just realized this sounds a lot like what happened to Kimbe -- funny!) So it CAN happen to you, and you don't need boatloads of embryos to have a valid shot, either. I wish you the best of luck with your cycle!!

PS. Kimbe, making us even more similar, I have one frozen blasty, just like you. More importantly, however, how did your FET go today? I'm wishing you the best of luck! FX that the thaw was successful and that you had no problems with the transfer.
