Any Aussie ladies starting IVF?

[MissCassie]

Officially Pupo with 1 beautiful 5 day blast on board now! Eeek so excited. I really hope this little embie sticks!!

Have you tested yet?! Hope all is going well

I have tested and they are all coming back negative I am 6dp5dt.. So I don't think it's worked..I am not going to test anymore until Friday and then just for he beta on Monday.

Hope you're well have you started your new job now?

Oh i'm so sorry you are getting negatives you know I can sympathise with you, it is a feeling I know all too well. Good idea about not testing until Friday, i know that a lot of ladies get positives 5dp5dt but i know that a lot of ladies don't too. Wait until you 9dp5dt and that will definitely give you a more accurate result. Still keep hope, although I know how hard that it is.

I am doing OK, yes I have started my new job which has been full on but i am enjoying it. just exhausted. I have no idea how I would be able to squeeze in an IVF cycle while working this much! Oh well, it's worth it right I had an appointment with the immune doctor and he has suggested a few changes for me including possibly 2 doses of intralipids instead of one and a few different medications so at least there are some other things to try. I just have to have a few more blood tests to make sure that we are going down the right path

Thinking of you, please keep me updated. x

Well I caved and tested yesterday at 7dp5dt and I had a faint line.. And tested this morning with Fmu and it came back 1-2 weeks pregnant.. I'm so excited I can't wait hear what my numbers are like on Monday.


That's great about your new job it's always great when you start a job and enjoy it. It's very hard when trying to squeeze in Ivf while working.. My manager gets cranky lol and I'm like I just don't care! My road to baby comes first over everything.

Sounds like your immune doctor has a great plan for you and I really do hope that when you do that cycle that you get your long awaited bfp! Because that would be amazing and your certainly deserve it,

Lol, what did I tell you woman!! 7dp5dt is a great time to start testing. I thought you said you weren't going to test until Friday though.. what tempted you ? haha

Congratulations, hope you get a great beta x

Lol I know! I was not going to test and well I've been super tired the last couple days and can smell things a little bit better so I just gave in and tested haha. And I had to do it I am a very impatient person and it was killing me.

And Thank you I'm still in shock really. Because I was really thinking it wasn't going to work.

Suspected chemical??? Are you ok, what's going on?

 

[MissCassie]

I had my beta today and it only came back at 7

I'd been getting positives all weekend and then I did a first response yesterday and it came back only as dark as the one I did on friday so change at all. So this morning before beta I did a clue blue digital and it came back not pregnant I'm devastated 😭

Oh my God that is awful, I'm so sorry to hear.

Hope that your next round brings you your baby xx

Thank you I'm devastated and so is my partner, he cried when I told him because we both wanted it so badly! I just don't understand..

We aren't going to do another cycle until Feb next year. Need to take a break and go on a holiday.

Good idea about the break. It's aways good to get excited about another cycle rather than nervous, and I think that time off certainly helps that. Trust me when I say that I can sympathise with you with not understanding and wanting something so much. On one positive note, you know that you can get pregnant, it's just finding that perfect little one for you. I'm certain you will get there but unfortunately life just isn't playing fair for you right now

Enjoy your time off & focus on you & your partner. 2016 sounds like a great year to get things started and give your body a rest from some stress. I'm sorry that you've had a chemical this cycle but I just know it'll be different soon xx

 

[miranda007]

Miss Cassie I'm so sorry you're getting negatives too. I had a good feeling about it. That really sucks.

I had the egg extraction on Sat.. They got 4 eggs. I had 10 follicles and they were all a good size. We were obviously disappointed and the Dr said she expected more. She said they didn't release properly so next time she'd get me to do two trigger injections. Which would mean I'd feel worse after. But that's ok. All 4 fertilised grade 1's and on Day 3.. all were 8 cell. The wait tomorrow till we see what we have at Day 5 is dragging. We're half thinking whatever we have tomorrow (I'd be happy with 1 or 2 at least) we might bank what we have and do another extraction. I know I'm 35 but it seems better to do it now rather than later.. she can tweak things next time too. Plus I hardly had any symptoms other than bloating. I know they say it only takes one - but I want to try and think ahead because I would prefer not having an only child. I guess the question will be (as the Dr said) if there's one we can't freeze that's a bit wonky do we put that in?

How did your embryos go?

 

[Miss Redknob]

So sorry to hear about your chemical MissCassie. Sending you lots of

Hope your embryos are going well Miranda x

AFM - I got admitted to hospital a couple of days ago with severe dehydration. My son got Gastro from daycare and happily passed it on to me. I battled it at home for a day before Hubby rang to labour ward and they got me to come in. It took the doctor 10mins just to get a cannula in I was that dry they said. I had 6L pushed through me before I felt any better. I'm now home and eating a very plain diet till my gut recovers. Other than that all is well

 

[miranda007]

That was the worst wait ever.. All 4 made it to Day 5 and were able to freeze all of them (so we did) and get them biopsied for genetic testing. I know most people don't but we decided we wanted to.. that's what our Dr at Genea recommended as your odds go from 40% to 75% or something like that. We just want to know. Just argh it was another expense.. So we'll wait to get those results back in a few weeks. We will make a call then but I'm really thinking we're going to do another egg extraction so we have a few 'in the bank'. I know that's been ultra cautious but that's how we want to do it. The Dr knows I'm not worried about getting pregnant the first time - I'm worried about getting pregnant a second time as I hopefully want them to have a sibling (I'm one of 6 kids!)..

Eveclo how are you doing?

 

[miranda007]

Yikes Red! I didn't see your post it must have been on the other page! Hope you're feeling better!!

 

[aleja]

Hi ladies
Wow it's been so long that I missed some lovely news!!! Congratulations to Red and take2.. Yayyyyy

Ms Red I had been thinking about you and I'm glad you got some great embryos to transfer, you got enough there for baby no 2 3 4!

Take that's amazing you got a natural miracle, the urban myth is sometimes true!

Kirst I hope you are well with your girls they must keep you busy.

Evclo I am so sorry you are still in limbo land, I hope the holiday does you a world of good. Where in Sydney are you living now?
I also went to see Dr Matthias recently and he put me on a similar protocol.

Ms Cassie so sorry about your chemical pregnancy , I had a similar result recently and it's so cruel.
Hi to Miranda , that's a good idea about the embryo banking as yes ttc #2 can be just as frustrating unfortunately.
Hello to anyone else I have missed .

So I decided to seek a second opinion from Dr Matthias after another bust (chemical pregnancy). He ordered some bloods and hysteroscopy & endo scratch. Turns out I had a small polyp in my uterus he removed. I also had a slightly elevated NKC level so he recommend clexane, prednisone and intrallip if I fell pregnant.

Well we had a double transfer in August and it's worked :
I'm still so nervous as it's very early days.next week they repeat the BT. I can only remain hopeful.

[Kirs_t]

So good to hear from you aleja!!
I'm absolutely thrilled to hear your news! Keep us posted. A double transfer- could be twins?!

 

[aleja]

Hi babypizzazz thanks hun. How is your little man going? How old is he now?

Thanks Kirst, yes I transferred 2 x Day 6 blastocysts but they were very slow growing and hadn't even expanded on transfer. This is why I'm shocked it would work . The first beta was half of what I had with my DS so I doubt it would be twins . Well I hope not lol.

Hey Aleja, he's great 😍 Such a cheeky monkey. He is 13.5 months now... It's funny how they grade the embryos like they do considering it's usually the ones that aren't considered perfect are usually the ones that take...

I wish we could afford to do IVF again, I would love a sibling for him.

How's Marlon doing? This will be an exciting time for him too 😀

 

[miranda007]

How are people going? Any updates on anything?
So we got our 4 embyos tested for pre genetic screening and 3 came back with the all clear. He said they got the top rating they give which is 95%. We're doing another extraction round whilst I'm still 35 (well 36 in November yikes).
Was so nice to have a month off from it all - getting back into the gym and feeling strong and super healthy again. Almost wish I could have one more month off before going in.. But I want to get the extraction round done this year so we are obviously over the safety net.. And our clinic puts a frozen one in the next cycle... So late November.. Genea close down over Xmas so want to have one put in before then!

I went in today to get the meds and blood tests.. I'm taking the normal trigger injection plus some other trigger thing which I can't remember the name of. I do remember it cost me $300!!
Last extraction there were more eggs but they didn't release..hence why the two things. So I'm going to be pretty damn sore because of it after the extraction. Oh well - I'm at that point I don't really care anymore let's just do what we have to do!

 

[wantingbubba7]

Miranda, how did your second egg collection go? Hope it went well
Good luck for your transfer soon x
