Question 1

ivf, 7 weeks pregnant but scan shows 6 weeks, 1 five day blastocyst,i have 2 gesational sacs, one has a fetal pole and yolk sac and 2nd has nothing???

Accepted Answer

Repeat Ultrasound: After IVF, one can see several different scenarios. It is best to wait and repeat the ultrasound. Do not feel anything is wrong till a repeat ultrasound is done. Early ultrasounds can be confusing. sometimes, twin pregnancies happen even with 1 blastocyst transfer as the blastocyst can divide. However,  growth discrepancy can happen and one may survive and the other may not. Good Luck!

Question 2

7 weeks pregnant after ivf, safe to masturbate?>

Accepted Answer

I would not: Most miscarrage occurs in the first trimester.  Give it plenty of time to develop before you start causing stimulation and contractions for orgasm.

Question 3

7 weeks pregnant after ivf. baby almost one week smaller (5.4 mm), with small gestational sac but strong heartbeat. no bleading. are these bad signs?

Accepted Answer

IVF: No, these are not bad signs. Good luck and have a good pregnancy

Question 4

i am 45 m early heartbeat at times  .  now 7 weeks pregnant via ivf.  yesterday after eating started feeling fluttering on an off  all night. normal?

Accepted Answer

Not possible to say: The bottom line here, is you need to be checked out. At 45 your body is not as resilient as a 20 something, pregnancy is more of a physical challenge. In addition, the HCG molecule behaves biologically as if it were thyroid stimulating hormone, so women are mildly hyperthyroid during early pregnancy. That may cause arrhythmia and even a fib. You need to call OB,&amp; an echo/cardiology consult per OB.

Question 5

im 7 weeks pregnant from ivf, hcg rising, now at 20700. 7 week scan had gest sac @ 13mm and yolk sac, no fetal pole or heartbeat. is pregnancy doomed?

Accepted Answer

Unlikely: It sounds like it is proceeding normally.  6 weeks is the earliest that an ultrasound will show anything, and a gestational sac is all that should be seen.  It is possible that there is something wrong, but it sounds like it is too early to "doom" it.

Question 6

i just turned 40, and have been trying to get pregnant for seven months with two failed ivf attempts in the mix. i heard something about a procedure that helps a woman hatch an egg so they can be fertilized. does this method exist?

Accepted Answer

Yes: Assisted hatching is an ivf procedure that is done after fertilization to improve implantation of the embryo into the uterus.  It is controversial and requires skill and experience and may be helpful in your case but is not for everyone.  Icsi or intracytoplasmic sperm injection is a procedure that helps with fertilization.  After 2 failed ivfs, a second opinion may be helpful.  Best of luck!

Question 7

ivf risk of pregnancy after seeing a heartbeat at 7 weeks?

Accepted Answer

90%: If i understand your question correctly, you are asking the chance of live birth after you seeing a fetal heart beat at 7 weeks gestation. It depends, in general about 90%.

Question 8

pregnant with my 2nd child via ivf+icsi. for my 1st trans us at 7 weeks 5 days the fhr was 93, at 8 weeks 2 days 117, & 8 weeks 5 days 125. chances? progn?

Accepted Answer

Congratulations: Congratulations on getting pregnant. So far it sounds like everything is going really well since you have a confirmed pregnancy with a heart beat.

Question 9

what are the signs of pregnancy at 3 weeks after ivf?

Accepted Answer

IVF: If you mean 3 weeks after embryo transfer you should've had  a positive pregnancy test, serial HCG should be rising appropriately. Transvaginal ultrasound could show a gestational sac(s), but usually isn't done for another week when you can see/measure a fetal pole. Fatigue, occasional pressure and cramping, and mild spotting are all very common.

Question 10

what are the tests for ivf pregnancy?

Accepted Answer

Do you mean...: ...Tests preparing for ivf, or  once you are pregnant? Minimal preliminary tests include blood, evaluation of uterus and ovaries, uterine cavity, and usually a mock transfer - in specific cases more testing may be done. After conception earlier monitoring with blood and ultrasound is common to determine fetal number and confirm location.
