Hi Krikkit

I had 3 cycles using clomid of which only 1 cycle we were able to try and concieve naturally due to the other cycles producing too many follicles. Of course the one cycle we were able to try didn't work.

My Dr wanted me to then try IUI but I knew in my gut that wouldn't work as I was producing too many follicles in my clomid cycles and didn't want the dissappointment of having cycles cancelled over and over again, so we went straight to IVF.

Our stim cycle produced 30 eggs of which 18 fertilised and 15 matured. I had 1 fresh transfer which resulted in a very low BFP which I m/c a few days after the BT. Then elected to have 2 x FET's transferred for our next cycles because 1. we had quite a few frosties and 2. I didn't want to do single transfers every cycle to delay knowing if they would work.

1st FET ended in a BFN and 2nd FET resulted in a very low BFP which kept increasing but resulted in a suspected ectopic which dr just monitored as we had 2 embryo's transferred they were unaware if any implanted in the uterus. Sadly m/c 3 days after release from hospital.

3rd FET was done which I knew would be my last for 6 months or so if I got a BFN and went in with little to no hope. 2 embryo's were transferred and 6 days after transfer did a POAS and got a faint positive. The only reason I took the test was because I was starting to feel cramping and had a sore lower back so was sure AF was on her way, no sore BB's, no bloating. At BT a week later confirmed BFP with a HCG level of 308 so thought both had implanted, at 7 week scan it was confirmed we were only having 1. So maybe the symptoms were our successful embryo implanting or the one that didn't implant being absorbed.

So basically we used 7 embryo's to acheive our current pregnancy after 4 IVF/FET cycles over 7 months, who knows if it may have taken longer if we elected to have single transfers each FET.

I don't know if my story is of any help to you at all but good luck with your dream of being a mummy soon.
