David asks…
IVF or Natural for our 3rd baby?
I had my first bub through IVF 3 yrs ago. My second was concieved naturally, very very unexpected but I wouldn’t trade her for anything.
So here is my dilemma. I have 7 frozen embryos. We want a third (my hubby wants a boy. I would luv another ten girls) and I feel really guilty about not using the embryos.
For starters I would love to try naturally again just to make sure i wasnt a fluke but I really want to use the embryos. I feel I have a real connections for those little bubs on ice. I also love the fact that they were concieved 4 years ago with our first born.
What would u do???
Michelle answers:
Your experience, natural conception after IVF is very common.
Your problem, it seems, is what to do with the frozen embryos. First off, a frozen embryo cycle is much cheaper that a fresh cycle. From the seven on ice, I can see you having up to two FETs.
But natural conception is still the best way to go. Any IVF cycle will result in a 20% miscarraige rate. This can be emotionally draining.
Embryos on ice can be viable for a long period of time.

Will I get pregnant naturally after IVF?
I went through IVF due to complete blockage of my fallopian tubes at the uterus. It was a brilliant success, and I now have a beautiful little daughter. I was wondering (hoping) if the pregnancy and the stretch of the uterus could have unblocked my tubes. I haven’t been able to find ANY research on it. Has anyone heard of natural pregnancy after IVF? Thank!
Michelle answers:
It is possible. My cousin had to have IVF to have her first two then got pregnant the 3rd time all by herself!!

Natural pregnancy after failed IVF?
I’m 39 and have been ttc for about 2 years. After 4 failed IUI cylces with Clomid, we tried IVF. It failed, which was surprising given how well everything was going. I went to ER last Wed. morning for a UTI, on the verge of a kidney infection. They did a standard pregnancy bloodtest and my HCG came back at 11. Had a 2nd beta done 2 days later and HCG was 74, progesterone 26.9. This is all still very surreal to me. Had a beta and prog. bloodwork drawn today but haven’t gotten the results and wont’ until tomorrow. Has anyone else experienced this? How could this happen? Well, I know how it happened but you know what I mean. I’m worried the numbers will come back lower tomorrow. I just can’t believe it.
Michelle answers:
Haha. I was just going to refer you to the IVF board on FertileThoughts to read stories like yours but I have a feeling you already go there! LOL. Anyway, it is great how many natural BFPs have been happening there lately. Another one just got posted yesterday. I have never seen so many natural miracles in my 3 years of posting there before. I know your numbers will be GREAT tomorrow! Good luck.

Laura asks…
has anyone ever did ivf and didnt get pregnant but got pregnant natural?
Michelle answers:
I haven’t tried IVF but I was told that IVF with ICSI was my best chance to get pregnant. Well I decided to try insemination even though I was given an 8% chance that it would be successful. That was back in April for the first time and now I’m 8 weeks pregnant. Best wishes.
