#2 ivf

I decided to go with fresh instead of using my 3 frozen on my next IVF. Prob going to be end of Jan/beginning Feb. Just wondering if there is anything different or special that your RE had you do the second time around. Do you still have to go thru all the same tests? Just curious. I know I'll be on same protocol, RE said I was a good responder the eggs I had transferred were 2 12 cell and 1 10, but only stuck around for a few days, chemical pregnancy. The frozen ones are 12 cell, 8 cell and a 6. Just looking for some advice for #2. Have a good day everybody......only 23 shopping days till xmas!!! hahahaha, Stacy

The only tests I had to do for #2 were the standard tests to be sure I ovulated before I started Lupron, then the baseline tests and lab work & u/s while in cycle.

My RE did make some changes to my stim meds this time because my estradiol was a little low last time.

I am trying to be kinder to myself this time around. Take it easeier and rest/relax more during the week of ER & ET. I think that should help a lot.
Good luck!

i dont know that fresh is better then frozen.
i hear frozen are great too. its a shame to leave those babies alone.

I think that's a great decision. Your chances with this next cycle will be higher than if you go to your FET, and then you might get more to freeze, giving you a better chance to have successful thaws if you need to do a third (frozen) cycle. Good luck!!! It sounds like your protocol should be the same since you had a great response!

I am currenlty waiting to try again, with no. #3, prob. lat January/Feb. My protocol will be basically the same as apparently I responded so well, my RE is just changing from Cetrocide to Lupron. Good Luck, perhaps we will be cycle buddies!

Best Baby Wishes, Dreamer!

    I have been here before, a long long time ago and now I am back.Forgive me for not just saying what I want to say,even under a triple dose of antidepressants it is still raw and seeping and I am hesitant at revealing it as at least under the bandages around my heart I don,t have to look at how raw and wounded.My child was cleaved from my heart by his own actions. my child of ten,turning eleven...
