[Blue12]

Melis that's great news about being pupo. My daughter is a day 3 embie.

Turkey. Sorry to hear about the delay. The wait is the hardest part in all of this all the time isn't it. I hope you are able to go forward quickly.

Ali. Were you mentioning a day 7 transfer? I haven't heard of that before.

Mobaby it's getting very close to your fet.

Lucie glad to hear that you are doing well.

Sorry if I've missed anyone else.

Afm today was my first day of stims. My ovaries felt strange most of the day. Makes me a bit nervous

Wasn't me! I think it was Turkey. With the CCS testing they do the testing on 5 day blasts and it takes time to get the results so they recommend freezing them after testing and doing the transfer in a subsequent cycle. This is optimal as your body can recover from the stim meds and your lining will be more receptive to implantation. Some women have issues with the extreme levels of estrogen and your body rejects the embryos. Others do not have this problem, but I say why risk it? I think the other option is to transfer on day 6 or 7 if the embryos can live outside the body that long. This is all very new technology I believe.

It is very normal to feel as if your ovaries are alive, they will get pretty big over the next 8-12 days. It is perfectly normal. You are on your way, won't be long now!

Probably a total repeat but im so excited that I get to stim tomorrow

I am aiming for a 5 day and my doc said that he usually prefers a 5 day but that he trusts the judgement of the embie doc so we shall see..

They are aiming for retrieval on 7/10 with a 7/13-7/15 transfer.


how come I have never heard of a 4 day transfer? lol just thought of that.

Day 4 is a transition period, it goes from a 8-10 cell embryo to a blastocyst at day 5/6

why did the dr decide to leave it?? I would think they would want it out as its been in there for a while.

Not quite sure Mo! it all happened so fast and I wasnt expecting it AT ALL! I don't think they were prepared to remove anything...when I reacted adversely to him saying I'd have to wait a month, the doc said something like "we aren't going to operate on you"...I don't know, really...I guess that's not how they do things...bummed about having to wait ANOTHER month, but what can I do? The finance lady told me that on the bright side it will give them more time to convince my insurance company to cover the CCS testing. That's a plus I suppose...now I just need AF to cooperate and arrive on time if not earlier...throw me a bone body!! C'mon!

Well, I was at work this morning and got a call. The nurse said my embies weren't doing well and Re wanted to do a 3 day transfer today. So on my long 3 hour drive I was freaking out. Lo and behold, I still had all my embies (10), and the top 2 were quality 1 (that's the best) with 8 cells. Exactly what he wanted to see. The others are a little slower at 6 cells. The last 2 are not growing and will probably arrest in the next couple of days. The reason he wanted to do a 3 day is bc the embies are perfect so why wait...get them in there where they belong, rather than risk the chance of things going south in the next 2 days. And although he can't make a promise he thinks we should have some frosties.

So long story short, I'm PUPO with 2 perfect 8 cell embies!

GREAT NEWS MELLS!!! Congratulations!

Congratulations Mells on being PUPO Those enbies are best back where they belong sending you lots of

Blue & Brandy yay! for starting stims. Time will fly for you now

Hope the rest of you ladies are doing well xx

 

[Em260]

Mells - congratulations on being PUPO!!

Turkey - sorry about the setback but hopefully this is going to create the best environment for your embies. I've never heard of anyone doing a day 7 transfer. I think if you get to day 6 and can't transfer they will freeze them.

Brandy and Blue - congrats on getting started!!

 

[Anxiously]

Mells congrats on being PUPO!

Turkey, I totally understand the pain of the waiting game. This cycle, I made a conscious decision to wait it out, given that I'm still stuck at the crossroads, to go through a fresh IVF or continue with FET. DH commented the other day that I've totally mastered the virtue of patience

I'm not sure why the doc didn't choose to remove the residual tissue during the hysteroscopy, and have you go back for a 2nd hysteroscopy (at additional cost?). Could it be because he didn't want to risk scratching your lining? But in any case, it's a good idea to wait it out and make sure you have the perfect environment for implantation before trying again.

 

[Anxiously]

Oh, and happy stimming brandy and blue

 

[LotusBlossom]

Yay, Mells! Congrats on being PUPO!!!

Yay for moving forward with stimming, Brandy and Blue!

Hi Lucie!! I'm glad to see you back. ❤

 

[MoBaby]

I've been having crazy dreams! I think I'm slightly anxious. The other night I dreamed I was at work (some place I don't even recognize) and I scanned mysel and was pregnant with twins. Then last night I dreamed I had my embryo at home in a little dish and then I couldn't find it! Both dreams were bizaar for sure!

Thanks Anxiously! Refresh my memory as to your dilemma. Why are you trying to decide between the two?

The waiting is just such a bummer, but if it allows for a stress-free summer, then maybe it's for the best. I did a little research last night and it does stand to reason that forcibly removing the tissue could mess with my lining, and maybe form scar tissue? Not sure, but I'm gonna try to trust my doc and let it go. I have him to thank for my DD, so I'm just putting my fate in his hands. I will try to emulate you and attempt to master the virtue of patience as well!

Bizarre indeed Mo!! Especially the embryo at home one...HA!!

 

[Anxiously]

Well the 1st doc wants me to try FET again, and the 2nd doc recommends fresh IVF due to low AMH. I'm seeing a 3rd doc tomorrow, hopefully she will tip the odds so that I can break out of this dilemma! I'm just using this cycle to test out the Viagra. I will ask the doc tomorrow if she can run immunology tests on me.

Mo, those dreams are HILARIOUS!

 

[Mells54]

Mo, I think TTC truly does consume our lives, it even haunts are dreams. Can you imagine if we had to watch our embryos at home!

 

[Sandy83]

wow Mo those dreams are crazy I think no matter where you are in this whole IVF process it is constantly on your mind xx

 

[L4hope]

What a roller coaster Mells but sounds like a good call to transfer yesterday! Now time to relax and think sticky thoughts. Stick embies stick!!!

Turkey so frustrating to get delayed another month. Hopefully with it bring summer you have things going in to help pass the time.

Brandy and Blue, it's always exciting to start stimming and hopeful for a new cycle!
