We've never got to transfer before but looking like we will this round. Can you share stories of your transfer working 1st time please? Feeling anxious and need the positivity. Thank you

That’s amazing news, so pleased for you. I know what a stressful journey it is. We were successful on our first attempt, and now have a wonderful 4 year old DD. We had unexplained fertility, and were shocked to get pregnant on the first round.

However for when attempting for baby number two I had two natural miscarriages, two failed rounds of IVF then went on the get pregnant naturally which resulted in the birth of our second DD. Wishing you lots of success on your journey!

🙋‍♀️both DS and DD were conceived on the first attempt. With DS I over stimulated so they had to cancel the fresh transfer but the frozen one worked. DD was the result of the first cycle. I know we were lucky, really hope you are too

Both of ours did, after years of trying and many rounds of Clomid, IUI etc (unexplained infertility). First IVF: 11 eggs, 6 embryos, 2 transferred, one baby. Second IVF just over 2 years later I responded a lot less well and the cycle was nearly cancelled because there were only 3 eggs developing. But they agreed to go ahead and we got 2 embryos, transferred both and again got one healthy baby.
Good luck!

Yes for me! Two blastocysts made it to transfer and one of those made it into the world nice months later! The best of luck to you.💛

Not me, but two friends did. Good luck OP.

We did! Unexplained infertility on my side. We got around 12 eggs, and only 2 made it to day 4. Because of our issues, the consultant said he was going to put them both back in (we are NE and the procedure here is three fully-funded rounds on the NHS, but only two or more eggs will be frozen; if you have one one left, it will be destroyed).

Ours worked first time! I always think if the consultant only put one back in the outcome could have been so much different.

And... when dd1 was 9 months old, I fell naturally with dd2! There is exactly an 18 month age gap between them, and it is bliss (at times. Sometimes it is noisy, and loud, and they tell tales at 3 and nearly 5) but I wouldn't change it for the world. My midwife said sometimes IVF can completely clear your insides out which is why natural pregnancies are common afterwards.

The very best of luck for your journey OP xx

My DW only produced 3 eggs of which 2 fertilised. They were implanted in me and one stopped growing after 6 weeks.
The other one turned 16 yesterday.

First time here too. 9 eggs - 9 embryos. And currently 38 weeks pregnant with our perfect little babe.

nolitetebastardescarborundo · 09/03/2024 22:35

Ours worked first time and we now have a very exuberant 2.5 year old. I'm now miraculously pregnant with a very big surprise, naturally conceived baby! Our issue was my low ovarian reserve, early 30s. Good luck!

CorneliaStreet · 09/03/2024 22:35

Me too. First round, 16 eggs, 4 embryos, one implanted which resulted in my daughter.

Glass113 · 09/03/2024 22:34

My best friend, gorgeous little boy first time round and then surprise natural conception 18 months later with a little girl. Now she has 2 running around!

Good luck!

frazzled101 · 09/03/2024 22:32

Mine did! I got 20 eggs but only 1 embryo and she's almost 2 and a half!
