[quote=Anonymous]Posted 20 March, 2013 (Sydney, Australia) This was our first IVF/ICSI treatment. Severe male factor with 0.5 million sperm count, low morphology and motility. At 38years I also had low egg reserves. On the day of retrieval I got 12 eggs, 9 mature and 5 fertilised. At day 3 all 5 were Grade A and travelling great with no fragmentation. By Day 5 we only had one that could transfer and it was a morular. The clinic called on Day 6 and the other 4 embryos didn't progress and none made it to freeze. The morular on Day 5 was a slow grower and I was nervous it wouldn't stick or progress as the others didn't make it. The strong little morular must have liked being in Mummy as I did a home pregnancy test 8 days past the 5 day transfer and it was positive! During the wait I was anxious and had no obvious symptons. I felt perfectly normal. I would occasionally get a sharp twinge in the side or the abdomen but that was it. No implantation bleeding. For me, the only thing slightly out of the ordinary was that I was thirsty and wanted to drink more water. I just got a call from the bloodwork which was taken this morning. The result was positive with a hcg beta of 155. All on track. Assisted pregnancys require a 2nd bloodwork done next week and then a heartbeat ultrasound at 7 weeks. This is when the IVF clinics release you from their care and hand you over to an obstetrician. At that time you are considered 90% success rate to reach full term.[/quote]
