My husband and I been married for over 11 years and we are currently expecting with our first pregnancy. We found out on late November that we were expecting. The journey was long especially with our fertility treatment process. It started 6 years ago with many failed attempts of IUI and this pass June we decided to do our first round of IVF. (Details below)
- We had our first consult with our fertility doctor (Dr. Dobson from Palo Alto Medical Foundation - highly recommended) in Jan 2018.
- Had our medical records and exams for IVF preparation from Feb thru Apr 2018
- Was going to start IVF process in Jun 2018, but we had to postpone due to a family emergency (my father in law passed away)
- IVF resumes in July 2018 with an egg retrieval procedure scheduled in Aug 2018.
- Egg retrieval was a success in Aug 2018. We were able to harvest 22 follicles. They were able to fertilized 17 follicles and 12 survived the 24 hours process. At the end of the 5 day blastyst, we only had one embryo that survived. We sent the one embryo for PSG so we know the condition/quality of the embryo.
- We got the results in Sept 2018 that our embryo was a normal embryo and it was a boy embryo.
- On Nov 21st (same day as my mom’s passing date and my brother’s bday), our embryo was implanted.
- On Nov 30th, I went into the fertility lab to do my blood test and it turned out it was positive.
