One more thing, I did get immunology testing ... would the NK test have been included in that?

 

[alicatt]

Ali - Oh wow, lots of information, thanks! It's a good thing you pushed for the testing! Sometimes we have to be advocates for our own health, it's crazy to me! I'll definitely ask about that if this cycle doesn't work!

Hopefully you won't have to! But if you do I would have it done, it's just a blood test, costs about $600 an it wasn't covered by my insurance. Got the results in about 7 days.

Hi,

Just a question...

I always read of women in this thread and others having 2 embryos transfered. My FS will only transfer one as I'm 24. They don't transfer 2 unless you're over 30 or have had a few unsuccessful attempts.

Are there any success stories on here with just one embryo? If I could put 2 back I would and I'm worried my chances will be dramatically lower than with just one ICSI embie.

Hey I'm just 30 an we put back one and it took.. Unfortunately I mc but a lot of places are strong on putting back just 1. There is a big risk in carrying multiples. I wasnt successful when we transferred 2. Good luck!

Thanks Ash! I have good news (at least for me)

I'm back from my sono this morning. I'm much happier. Still nothing on my Right ovary, but I now have 7 on the left all ranging from 13 to 16 mm and some small ones they didn't count. The nurses were happy and so was I..at least its something. Hopefully, they will double in the next couple of days. I'll get the heating pad and go back for acupuncture. They will let me know if I go back tomorrow.

samsfan - Great news!!

That is a great response from only one ovary! In fact perfect as they aim for 15 mature eggs, or about 7 per side.

 

[Samsfan]

Thanks for being so positive Ali!!! Fingers crossed!

 

[MoBaby]

Yay sam!! I knew some more would pop up!! Only a few more days now, right??

Samsfan, that's great news. The heating pad thing really worked for me this go round as well. Keep doing what you're doing!

I was 300 follistim and 400 menopur and this time I got 11 eggs. The first time I only had about 6 follicules total and A couple were growing faster than the others. My cycle was canceled before ER bc my bw showed I ovulated early.

Congrats on getting to where you should be, we all respond differently!

Mobaby- They are aiming for trigger Tues with ER on Thursday or Friday. Alicatt hit it right on the nose.

Mells- Thanks for the info. I hope I can get 11! That would be great. I want to freeze any remaining embies. 40 is right around the corner and they eggs just get older.

Yeah...

Yay sam!! I knew some more would pop up!! Only a few more days now, right??

This is a wonderful group.

Hello everyone! I am scheduled for IVF starting the end of February. It will be my first and hopefully my last round. Looking for friends along the way!

Thanks Alicatt for telling me about this thread.

These ladies can help you with all your questions, and have helped me through my IVF cycles in the past. I think once you talk with others doing exactly the same thing, it makes it easier! Helps lessen the anxiety a little.

Ali - are there any symptoms of having elevated NK Cells? I too have never been pg in the 3 1/2 years I have been trying.

 

[Babiesimready]

Mo you guessed it, I'm exactly 5.5 weeks. That's why I'm kinda annoyed that they scheduled me in. Then my doc said wow how'd you guys get in so early? Hello? Cuz your office scheduled it. But I have to just breath and pray that my little bean keeps growing!

Thats too early! Office admins are annoying sometimes. I'm going through the worse from my RE's staff...the most annoying staff ever.

Well at least you know whats going on in there so I guess its good too...mine is scheduled for the 18th.

Unfortunately, we didn't have any to freeze so I'm really hoping this time is it for us! Yeah, I'm just a couple years shy of 40 myself! Where does the time go?

That's a great number Samsfan! Are you doing ICSI?

I don't think so? Some have said that they don't get sick as often, but I've had 2 colds this winter. So I'm not sure?

 

[Samsfan]

Edamame- They told me they are doing half ISCI with assisted hatching.

[Samsfan]

So I went for a hike in the woods... mostly flat.. so I don't think it was too strenuous. Got the blood flowing. I took my baby aspirin. I'm going for a massage later and they want me back tomorrow for another sono. Hope all is ok. I hope my ovaries don't get over stimulated, because I couldn't imagine being hospitalized for any amount of time.

Yeah I think I might have been better off waiting till there was more to see. I'm still so nervous. That's good your date should be perfect so you'll be able to see the baby and hear the heartbeat. The waiting is just torture!!
