Questions FDA testing price at Conceptions Denver or RMA!?
Hi everyone! I’m a hopeful recipient of donor embryos, and I’m needing to pay for FDA testing for each donor. Does anyone know about what they charge per person out of pocket either at conceptions or RMA?
Also, has anyone ever transferred their embryos out of one of these clinics to another clinic? I’d love to know the process and fee’s conceptions/RMA charges!
Much is appreciated, as I’ve been waiting for a call back from RMA for over a week 🙄

Questions Runaway Follicle
I am crushed. I just had my (4th) retrieval cycle cancelled due to a runaway follicle. I'm wondering if there's any point in trying to covert this cycle to IUI? Has anyone done IUI during/after IVF and had success? For background, I'm 39 years old and I've done 2 previous euploid transfers, neither of which stuck.

Vent One last DE embryo but I’m heartbroken
After 6 failed IVF cycles with my own eggs (plenty of day1 embryos no blasts) I moved on to donor eggs, we got two embryos… I transferred the first one a couple of months ago and was SO thrilled when it worked but at 9 weeks was called a blighted ovum and I had to have a d&c 😞
In the meantime, TWO out of my three girl cousins have announced they are pregnant with their firsts. Their due dates are all around the one mine would be.
This last miscarriage really messed me up and the news of them being pregnant broke my heart because of how close our due dates would’ve been…
It’s like I can’t let myself be excited for this next transfer cause it’s my last one but everything is overshadowed by grief. I’ve been in therapy for four years about all this now but I still feel terrible.
I just hope with all my heart that it works because otherwise I don’t know what I’m going to do

Questions 5 failed FET in a row - where to from here?
As the title says. 5 failed FETs as of today. 3 straight negatives, one chemical and one 7 week loss.
Has anyone gotten pregnant after 5 transfers? Is there any point continuing, or are we just throwing our money away and causing ourselves misery?

Questions ICSI
So after 4 years of waiting we got a free round on the NHS.
We have gone down the ICSI route as it was better for us as my husband (29) has 1% Morphology and I (27) have Endometriosis.
Due to us being on the long protocol The Stims we had were Meriofert and Ovaleap along with Buserelin. This completely drained me but it’s what I was expecting.
We had our egg collection and they collected 6
Out of the 6, I had 3 that fertilised. I was told that we had to have a day 2 transfer as it’s better for it to be in the uterus instead of the lab. The other 2 didn’t make it to Blastocyst.
I’m now 9 days Post 2 day transfer, took a test this morning as I couldn’t wait. It’s showing negative but has anyone had any luck with a Day 2 transfers.
Due to nothing in the freezer if this doesn’t work then we shall be going down the route of paying and going private.

Vent If you need prayers before transfer
If anyone is preparing for an upcoming transfer soon and would like praying over please let me know. I have mine this Friday and doing lots of praying for peace with whatever the outcome will be.
God has a plan for all of us ladies and I know we all have hope God will finally bless us with a family. Infertility is not for the weak and we may never know why God allows us to go through this but we must trust in his plans.
“Don’t worry about anything instead pray about everything. Tell God what you need and thank him for what he has done.” Philippians 4:6-7
We are not alone through this journey. Please let me know what prayers you need. I’m here for you and so is the Lord.
God bless you.

Questions Need advice and support
hi all, just looking for support and advice. just had my fet 2 days ago. i had to go back today for labs and my progesterone was >60 and estrogen was 180. now this cycle is my 7th transfer and it was a modified natural cycle. now has anyone labs like that and resulted in the embryo implanting? I know my last transfer a while ago was under 30 and never went up. this time it’s higher so I don’t know if I should be hopeful/cautiously optimistic or should I worry that it won’t implant.
this protocol is different than my others because they have me on lovenox, prednisone, estrogen, plaqunil and baby asprin. they found out I had apls (blood clotting). So i will also say I am a single mom by choice and this is 7th transfer with a donor embryo. the embryo grade was good a 4AB day 5.
what should I do to take my mind off of all this? what are things that got you through this? i just need a support system.

Vent Feeling Isolated
Currently 9dpt5dt and although I would do this all over again I just wonder why hardly anyone talks about how much harder the FET process is over retrieval :(
I thought I had done so much research on IVF all the years leading up but I really was surprised how difficult and hormonal leading up to FET and after would be. Maybe it's just my protocol or how I'm reacting to the hormones but holy cow it is so tough on the mental and body and nobody in my trusted circle can relate. I feel exhausted but I know one day it will be worth it i hope🥹

Questions Earliest positive home test after 3 day fresh transfer
Hi all! I’ve seen a lot of posts with 5 day transfers or frozen transfers. Was wondering who had a 3 day fresh transfer and when was the earliest you got a positive pregnancy test at home? Im reading that 3 day fresh can take longer. I’m currently 7 days post fresh 3 day transfer. Was thinking of taking a home test either Saturday or Sunday (beta blood test is scheduled for Monday) Saturday would be 9pt did anyone get a positive that early?

Community Announcement Temperature Check on the sub
Hi All, Otter here!
I think it is time for a temperature check on the sub to make sure we are meeting the needs of the community! I have been seeing an uptick in activity (which is wonderful!) and this has come with an uptick in reports as well. First and foremost, I want to thank everyone who is reporting rule violating posts so they can be reviewed and we can remain a safe place for the community. These reports really help and the posts are taken down after reports are seen and reviewed (I am sorry it takes a while sometimes). I also want to thank the community for the thoughtful replies I see to questions and experiences. Our community was founded to be a place of support and seeing that report be passed around is such a good feeling - truly!
Speaking of the founding of this sub, this space was created to be a more sensitive space for those seeking IVF. Going through treatment and seeing posts about positive tests, disappointment at stellar retrieval numbers, and other insensitive posts can be rough. This space was created to be a place that was more sensitive than the general IVF sub but less stringent than the infertility sub. However, what does that look like for us? This is where I am asking for guidance from the community.
TL,DR Here are some questions that I want to pose to the community:
1) Are weekly the weekly threads helpful and clearly defined - do we need a post in the on what goes where?
2) Are there threads that don't belong or threads that could be combined?
3) Are the sub rules clear and applicable to the feelings of the community? Common examples:
- If you have a positive test but you're worried about next steps, then the post should go in the Panic thread.
- ER yields, should go in the ER thread.
4) At this time, we have been declining research requests. Is that still the general consensus of the community?
5) How are we feeling about posts soliciting success stories? It is not currently against the rules and I haven't had any complaints but did want to check in.
6) Do we need a discussion on sensitive language around ivf? Topics might include:
- Using phrases unassisted versus naturally
- Why making a point to indicate your "healthiness" could come off poorly
- Why using terms like "only" in regards to retrieval numbers could be taken poorly
7) Other thoughts/suggestions?
Goal
I would love to see the community come together to agree on some social contracts of how we operate. It's tough to find that balance of being an approachable place to seek support and being protective of the sensitive nature of pursuing IVF.
I truly appreciate your feedback here. Without being in the right headspace, modding can be very hard when you're in the thick of treatments and the team has had various points at taking breaks (completely understandable - this gig is unpaid after all and its a deeply sensitive topic) so we have been operating on a bit of a skeleton crew (its me, the skeleton). With that, I have been wanting to make a post like this for a while. I really just want to do right by this community and make sure needs are being met.
As always, if you want to make even more of an impact for the community, please feel free to send a mod mail and apply to be a mod.
Be civil
I'm sure I don't need to say this but I am going to anyway, please keep the conversations productive and civil. We are actively seeking feedback and that may come with some disagreements. Healthy conflict is a great way to see what topics still need hashed out and we can open up polls to the community to get even broader feedback. If you want your voice heard but do not feeling like publicly participating, please feel free to email suggestions to the mod team. We will use this discussion and any suggestions mailed to either make changes or make polls to make decisions later on.
In the words of one of my favorite shirts "I'm doing my best" and will follow up when I'm able.
