3 failed IUIs. How do you cope?

[Strawberry13]

Luci congrats on 15 eggs!!! Did you get your report yet? I'm keeping my fingers crossed for ya.

Chris and babywish- I know you've heard it a million times but everyone is different, it's so true. My boobs were killing me in the first few days after ER then it went away and I had no symptoms until well after my pregnancy test, except for maybe some very light cramping here and there. So you really can't base it on other months you never know how your body will act.

Stay- ahhhh congrats on the little man in there! I love how your friend did it too that was so thoughtful of her.

I just got the ICSI report! The nurse called (20hours after the sample collection):
15 retrieved;
13 injected (I guess it means 13 were mature?);
11 fertilised!

Since I am not doing transfer this cycle, they aim for a Day-5 freeze but it is too early to tell how many will make it.

What do you think about my numbers ladies???

We are praying for our embies to grow and to be strong...!

 

[Strawberry13]

That's a great result!! Grow grow little embies!

 

[StayHopeful]

Luciola, those are great numbers!

Baby.wish, hang in there! I know that during my tww after IVF I was so frustrated because I felt like I had zero symptoms, way less than during some other twws. And it turned out to be a bfp! I know it's super hard, but try not to symptom spot. You can do it!

That's excellent Luci!! Sending your embies happy growing thoughts!

Great result Luciola!! I would also guess that only 13 were injected b/c two were not mature enough for ICSI...similar thing happened to me. I had 13 retrieved but only 9 mature enough for ICSI.

Best of luck and !!!

Hi Maverick how exciting to find out the gender. Praying everything goes well today, boy or girl we pray for a healthy baby.

 

[Strawberry13]

Praying for you today! And can't wait to find out the sex of baby maverick 😄

 

[Maverick007]

thanks so much everybody, i really value your support!! the u/s went super well, everything is measuring on time, healthy (as far as an u/s can tell at least), and it's a girl!

 

[PinkPeony]

EEEEEEEEE!!!!! Yay!! Congrats!!

 

[Strawberry13]

Maverick that's so great congrats!! So excited for you!

 

[StayHopeful]

Yay for baby girl!!!!

 

[Luciola]

i AM SO HAPPY for you Mav!
Every step is a big achievement!

As for me - The clinic called earlier today saying that out of the 11 Day-3 embryos, 8 were good. So I guess now I need to pray for the 8! But I was a bit confused b/c when I asked "What is good? How many cells? What about the rest 3 of them? Are they not viable?", she just said "we are doing a Day-5 freeze so now we don't grade them yet". She is obviously not a scientific... I am a bit worried and I hope that as many good Day-3 embies as possible will make Day 5 blast freeze!!

My husband said "Don't worry, they are babysitting our babies".

I try to chill!!

 

[Maverick007]

Luc, I'm thinking she meant either that the quality of the other three was a bit lower, or, they were developing more slowly even if good quality. hopefully they can give you more specific info when you next talk. 8 is still fantastic but I know this is such a stressful time. Praying this is it, it all sounds like good news so far!!

 

[baby.wish]

Congrats Maverick a baby girl!! How exciting! I didnt know they could tell gender so early!! I feel like you were just doing IVF and now a healthy baby girl!! Woooohoooooo...

 

[Chris_25]
