How many IVFs does it take?

Hi Ladies,
I need to know. How many of you got pregnant after 1 IVF? If it took more than 1, how many did it take?
I'm about to begin IVF #1. Insurance won't last much past that. I guess I just need some encouragement that it is possible. I'm 31 with unexplained infertility.

It varies. There are stats out there and I am sure someone will post them or redirect you.
I can tell you this though... my cousin got pregnant her first IVF cycle and it took my friend four cycles. I did not get pregnant my first cycle but and praying I do the second.
Hope that helps some. It really does depend on a variety of things.
Good Luck!!

I agree with Lioness, it depends. I know a few people who were lucky enough to get preg first try. I have done three cycles and will be starting my fourth in Jan

I just got pregnant with my first IVF. I'm 35 and I had to use my husbands frozen sperm. They put in two emryos. I know it varies for all women. I believe they say 1-3 trys is average...good luck to you and I hope this gives you a little encouragement.

I got pregnant first try and have 5 eggs still frozen. I feel very blessed to have gotten pregnant and they still don't know why I couldn't get pregnant. Unexplained. Good luck!! Baby dust to you. I have a beautiful baby girl.

I got pregnant on the 1st try also. It can happen. Try not to worry...I know it is hard but the more relaxed you are the better chance you have. Good luck to you :)

I'm 7 weeks pg after my 1st IVF, too. Good thing, since we're self-pay!

Good luck - sending lots of baby dust your way!

    I'm trying to exercise daily. I was doing fairly well until I sprained my ankle 2 weeks ago but now I'm getting back on the horse. Today I walked over a mile with my arm weights that are about 22lbs total. I was out of shape and it was hard on my arms. I also did my 30 situps. I'm also going to drink a lot of water and try to eat healthy. I do tend to have a sweet tooth but I'm cutting...
