To ask for your ivf "worked first time" success stories

Hi was this a fresh transfer or frozen ?

6 eggs collected, 6 fertilised. We transferred one and it worked first time. We went back for a FET and that worked first time as well.
Good luck!

Yes, first time success for us.

9 follicles seen, but only 3 eggs retrieved. Gutted!
We were going to have ICSI but the sperm sample was okay on the day so just did standard IVF.

All 3 eggs fertilised. 1st embryo started to fail after day 1. 2nd started to slow on day 2. 3rd embryo was fine. We were very worried at this stage.

The clinic arranged for us to have a day 3 transfer of 2nd and 3rd embryo as they were worried none would make it to blast.

Both put in together and one turned in to our beautiful 6 year old daughter. The other could be seen as an empty sac at our first scan.

Our IVF was successful first time and we have a beautiful healthy baby boy who turns one this month. Everyday I wakeup feeling so happy and lucky. I recommend eating well, exercise, fresh air, acupuncture, lots of rest and positive thinking! Good luck xx

Hello!! I had secondary infertility and needed IVF. On our first round I only produced 2 eggs but both fertilised and made it to transfer. The result is my 15 year old DD. Wishing you lots of luck! 🍀

Not sure if you’ve come back to read the thread but just to add I was 41 when I had the second IVF pregnancy, 42 on giving birth !

Ours worked first time but then again we are both ‘young’ in the IVF world so we expected it to.

I advise following a ‘diabetic’ diet post transfer as blood sugar spikes have been shown to impact implantation. Not loads of data and studies into it but in my view it can’t hurt and although can’t say it’s what helped us, we were successful first time.

We had 19 eggs collected, 17 fertilized and have about 8 in the freeze ‘spare’ so don’t lose hope

My friend was successful and beat all the odds! She was told her eggs weren’t of high quality and probably not viable. She gave birth to her son on Valentine’s Day!

I know a few people who've had IVF and it worked first time for all of them!

Good luck, OP! 💖

We were lucky on our first try too. 16 eggs, ended up with 4 embryos, one put back which resulted in my 8 year old, next one put back didn't take, the next one didn't defrost properly, the final one took and is now 5! So 2 kids from one cycle, never stop counting my blessings. Good luck with your cycle.

Ours worked first time. I was 28. Can't rem all the details as was 13 years ago, but I think I had 5 embryos and 3 made to 5 day blastocysts. One was excellent quality and turned into my daughter. I know ivf can be very difficult and stressful but I honestly found it fine.

Ours worked first time :)

5 years of trying with no success at all. Male factor infertility and I have PCOS.

4 eggs collected (I was expected to have over 30 but I ovulated early and lost almost all of them) 4 embryos were created and frozen.

Had my transfer on May 4th 2023 and now have an 8 week old little boy.

Good Luck 🥰

One decent grade embryo - now a school boy. Two more ropey looking wobbly little things in same petri dish but the embryologist said we might as well give them a go before starting another cycle if we were sure about wanting a sibling.

We have three kids now. And the clinic has a picture of all three up on the wall 😄

I work in this world. Seen lots of first time success stories. To up your chances (especially if you only have 1 shot) the scientific research says do the following to improve your changes:
If you are overweight, lose it.
Drink minimal alcohol ,,
Stop smoking
Use acupuncture, especially before and directly after transfer. And ideally before egg extraction for several months.

22 eggs 😱 11 fertilised, 7 made it to embryo, first transfer and had twins 😄 just be as relaxed as you can! And all the best for you! I know how hard it was x

Mine did, 7 years old now. I was 28 and it was my issues. Also have a 4 year old who was conceived naturally (and a rather big surprise!) Good luck x

One of my closest friends, I don’t know how many eggs embryos totals etc but it worked first time for her and her beautiful son is the result and they then implanted another of their embryos and she is now 6 weeks old. I’m overjoyed for her, she’s a wonderful mum to them and I love them all very much.

20 eggs, 12 embryos by day 3, 5 by day 5. We had one transferred and it took. She is now 5 and a delight.

Good luck to you OP.

I had one chance only! And it worked. He's just turned 7.

3 eggs 😢2 put back and 1 pregnancy, now 21 years old
2 eggs, 2 returned and 1 16 year old ! So although quantity low, quality great and can still be successful.

Mine did. No issues at all. I was 35, DH was 38. Currently watching The 1% Club with my now 8 year old who’s just got two questions right. We won’t hear the end of this.

We had two Frosties left over from that cycle, got a BFP with both but ended up miscarry very early on. Did a fresh cycle and again, it worked first time. I was 38 then.

Ooh, best of luck! My first and only time I was 38 and had 2 embryos transferred. One of them is 9 years old now and the best thing that ever happened to me and to the world.

My friend did. Her (IMHO abusive) husband said he would only do it once, and she conceived at the age of 40. She has a DD, 8. She has left the husband and moved to New Zealand too.
