30 something and TTC #1 for a year

[GettingBroody]

Cupcake, I know exactly how you feel. We only had 3 fertilise as well but as they say - it only takes one!!! I found the days between ER and ET to be the most stressful of the whole thing because I kept thinking about whether they were developing and if they would make it to transfer day etc. I was terrified I'd get a phonecall saying they'd all stopped growing. Was so happy to be told on day 3 that there was one very strong embryo and that they'd decided on a 3 day transfer. Once they were transferred back I felt so much more relaxed, like they were back where they belonged somehow. (They put back 2 but one hadn't grown in 12 hrs so I presume that's the one that didn't stick) Keeping everything crossed for your 3 - grow embies grow!!!!

Edit: Meant to say, another girl on the ivf thread I'm on also only had 3 eggs fertilise and she's pregnant with twins

cupcake, as broody said, it only takes 1 good one...look at her! she is all knocked up now
stay positive and soon enough Thursday will come when you lovely little embaby will be placed back. It is an amazing feeling to think a living thing can and will grow inside you. GL hon

Cupcake - will you get daily updates or do you have to wait til day 3 to hear?

MrsP - just spotted your ticker, only 28 days left!!!! Eeeeeeeeek!

Will get an update this morning, so worried it's going to be bad news. Been praying for the 3 fertilised eggs since yesterday.

 

[GettingBroody]

I'm sure it'll be great news. Keep us posted.

Fingers crossed cupcake!

Everything crossed for you cupcake x

Broody yes I know, scary only 4 weeks! x

The news is in, all 3 divided, yey! We have 1 4 cell which is a grade 1, 1 2 cell which is grade 1 and 1 2 cell which is grade 2. Transfer scheduled for lunch time tomorrow but they'll let us know if they want to push it till Friday for transfer in the morning. Got to keep praying they divide and grow, not quite as much of a nervous wreck but not relaxed either. This part is definitely the hardest part so far.

 

[GettingBroody]

Yay Cupcake, so delighted!!! Keep on growing little embies!!!!!
I think one of the reasons this part is so hard is because you have absolutely no control over what's going on. At least after the transfer you feel like your body is doing its part to mind them somehow but right now it's out of your hands and that's scary... Stay strong, you're nearly there!!

 

[MrsPTTC]

Brilliant news Cupcake!! x

 

[brassy]

That's great news cupcake! Hope all goes well with the transfer! Best of luck!!!

 

[GettingBroody]

Good luck today Cupcake!! Can't wait to hear that you are PUPO!!

 

[mk8]

Great news and good luck cupcake.

Update phonecall this morning, we have a 9 cell grade 1-2 which is doing exactly what it should, a compacted embryo called a morula which is the stage before blastocyst but they think it's going a bit quick as shouldn't be there before tomorrow, and a 4 cell which is lagging behind and borderline on fragmenting. So we're on the way to the clinic for transfer where they'll decide if they transfer 1 or 2. Say a prayer ladies for the embryo's.

 

[GettingBroody]

A 9 cell is fantastic! Interesting about the one that's growing too fast... Can't wait to hear how many you put back!

 

[cupcakesarah]

2 embryo's transferred, now for a lot of rest, fingers crossed and prayers! So nervous.

 

[GettingBroody]

Congrats on being pupo with twins!!! Sending bucketloads of your way!!! When are you thinking of testing?

 

[cupcakesarah]

Not sure about testing time, when did you start???
