Who had success on their first IVF cycle?

[footloose1980]

We had ICSI in June last year and we succeed with our first attempt. we now have a beautiful, long awaited (we have been together 10 years- seriously trying 4 years) Baby boy born Feb this year. we have booked in to see the specialist in November this year to organise a frozen transfer and get more info. Very nerve racking waiting. So yes it is possible to achieve gold on first attempts.

I'm glad i didn't see those stats before we tried our cycle, it would have been even harder to wait for the BFP!!!.

On my first IVF cycle we got nothing pick up of 40ish eggys and they all ended up abnormal with the icsi was done so we got no embies . But the next stim cycle we had a similar pick up and I fell pregnant that cycle sadly losing her at 16weeks.But then went on another 10ish FET fell pregnant with her sadly losing her at 20 weeks and then going another Stim and FET's 6 times and had Eliza.
LOL so in hindsight we did actually get pregnant when they put something in on the second Stim ICSI cycle

Hi Sarah,

I have POF so had an IVF cycle using DE. Our amazing donor could only produce 4 eggs but the all fertilised beautifully.We did a fresh transfer of 2 embies from which we had our wonderful 5 year old daughter.They other 2 embies were frozen and just had FET of both of them last Sun...so am hoping I will be as blessed second time around!
I welcomed my embies from the moment my legs were in stirrups i think positive thinking is so very important. Wishing you the very best of luck!

Hugs,
Claire

My sister in law fell pregnant with twins first cycle (2 day 2 embies transferred) sadly she lost one very early. I now have a beautiful 2yr old neice.

Then she again fell pregnant on her first cycle (for 2nd pregnancy) with a singleton. I was so jealous as it took me ages and lots of pain, but oh so happy for her.

Hi Sarah, I fell pregnant with twins the first go through ICSI (through SIVF) after TTC for 6 months. I just knew something wasn't right so got right onto the medical side of things - didn't really want to waste any time! Then 22 months later we thought things weren't insane enough and we had another go (FET) and fell pregnant again! Now had 5 y.o. twin girls and 2.5 y.o. girl. I feel really lucky and blessed after reading and hearing about such heartbreaking stories regarding IVF. It's nice to hear some lovely positive stories.

I too, have had success with my first IVF/ICSI cycle ever. I'm 7 weeks and 2 days pregnant. Saw the little heartbeat on Thursday.

I would be really interested in knowing the success rates here in terms of pregnancies on first or subsequent cycles; how many embies transferred etc. Is there a poll function at all?

This isn't from me personally, but my dear mum had four cycles before she conceived. The first three went really well, they weren't collecting a lot of eggs, but enough so that there could be two transfers, only that they didn't stick
Mind you, on the fourth time, after collecting 14 follicles and only one egg, mum and step dad have now conceived and expecting identical twins!
Congrats to those of you with successful IVF stories and good luck to those of you still trying, seeing mum so happy to be able to share children with my stepdad is amazing.
