Planning my next IVF transfer, curious if there are others who have navigated multiple transfers.
My first IVF transfer was successful and I’m a proud mom for a healthy 9 month old. I’m also 40 yo and I’m concerned if want a big family I need to act fast. I have another embryo banked, thinking if I should start the transfer 12 months post my last delivery. Any thoughts, suggestions, considerations to share?

If age is a concern i would start sooner rather than later. My OB gave me clearance to start 8 months post partum - my re asked for documentation from my OB.

My first 2 transfers worked on the first try, and was expecting to keep that streak. But ultimately number 3 took significantly more tries. Happy to DM further if you have qs on personal experience.

Also, depending on how big of a family youre talking about, you might want to consider banking more embryos now before your next transfer.

Any tips on how to improve lining thickness? My RE had me on Estrace for a week before starting Prometrium (vaginally) a few days ago, but my lining is only a little above 5mm. Looks likely that this FET cycle is going to get canceled (was potentially going to be this weekend) since the lining doesn’t seem to be thick enough. This will be the 3rd transfer cycle that’s getting canceled, it just really sucks...what’s worse is I didn’t see my doctor today, just the sono tech, (cont’d)

I had IVF process to get pregnant. During pre- embryo transfer we were told that girl embryo is being transferred. Currently I am 18 week pregnant. I had anatomy scan and we found out we are having a boy. Baby looked all healthy but due to gender discrepancy, We are asked to do additional testing and genetic disorder screening. Anyone had similar experience?

We are trying to change plan. What you’ll think about Aetna EPO, heard it pays 100% for IVF? Currently on BCBS not much benefits if we would want to skip IUI and jump to IVF. Any suggestions here would be helpful. Thank you.
