. If you tell me what you are going to be on I'll remember if that is what I was on. So you are doing what we did....change from long lupon to antagonist. I can tell you it was scary not getting many eggs in the beginning. I was very worried because I was used to getting so many eggs. We transferred 3 after 3 days (so no blasts) because we didn't have many embryos. 2 were graded good (which is the best at my RE's) and one was graded poor. I couldn't believe it when I found out they all took. I am convinced the one that didn't make it was a boy

I am really praying your change of protocol with have positive results. Talk to your doctor about assisted hatching as well (if you haven't already). Keep us updated and feel free to ask any questions you may have.View Thread

I'm not sure of the specifics of your case but if you haven't adjusted your protocol maybe that is something you could speak to your RE about before your next cycle.View Thread

Good luck on your IVF cycle. I did 3 - with the 3rd being successful - so I know how stressful it can be. Hang in there!View Thread

And thanks, Reagan was my choice. One of the many awesome things about having twins is we each got to choose a name

Being pregnant with twins for me was totally different and MUCH harder than being pregnant with a singleton. Your body changes and grows at a much faster rate. I gained 30 lbs by the time the girls were born, but had they been more patient and waited until they were due I would have gained much more. I was bigger at 28 weeks with my twins than I was when I gave birth to my son (who was 5 weeks early). I did work up until the girls were born - my water broke after I got out of the shower getting ready for work - but if I hadn't had them early I would have probably had to stop working before my due date. I can only imagine how huge I would have gotten by the end.
I did end up with an emergency c section but I would have probably had a c section either way. My Doctor won't allow a vaginal birth with twins unless both babies are head down and ready to go - and what are the chances of that.
I really didn't have any complications and the babies were growing wonderfully prior to my water breaking. The were actually growing at the same rate give or take an ounce or two. We were lucky because when they were born Emma weighed 2 lbs 11 oz and Reagan was 3 lbs 4 oz, which was good for their gestational ages.
Having twins is a blessing and I am thankful everyday that I have them but it is NOT easy. My husband actually wants to try for another and I am leery because I am afraid of ending up with multiples again.
If you do end up going the IVF route my advice is to just take every day one day at a time. The process seems to fly by and before you know it you will be taking a pregnancy test!View Thread
