Congratulations!!! OP here. I hope that happens to me. When you say "back to back" - do you mean one month after the other? SGF makes you wait a month in between. This to me seems just like wasted time. I'm also irritated because after my first child (natural) Dr. told me to wait to call him until I was ready to get pregnant again. For various reasons I was not ready to get PREGNANT until after a year had passed. No one explained to me that you could "bank" embryos. I would have loved to have been trying when I was much younger and to have banked embryos rather than lose a year. Which clinic was successful for you?

Thank you! CCRM did my back to back cycles (one in Feb, one in March). There is some evidence that doing that can result in a better 2nd retrieval bc of a priming effect. I weirdly had fewer eggs from my March retrieval. but then more normal embryos (more evidence that this whole process is so frustrating and unpredictable!).

Did you go to CCRM VA or CO? I keep trying to make an appointment with Dr. schoolcraft but can never get anyone to answer or return my messages!

VA ... I had a very good experience with Dr. Payson.

Thank you! I may try to get an appointment with him or her, since next cycle will apparently be the last here.

I didn’t ask before but how old are you if you don’t mind? I’m wondering if I have hope with your results or if you’re younger.
