Forums New posts
thanks everyone for your continued support! :hugs: I just got a call from CCRM and they have an opening for a consult on Monday instead of the 28th, yay! Was doing some research on when CCS was done and how much it costs since I'm sure they're going to want to perform that since we've had so many failed cycles. I'm nervous to get started again but also excited.
 
Ash: I'm so sorry that you are still struggling. You're right; you will become a parent, one way or another. Good luck with CCRM! They do say it's the best.

Lotus: I'm so happy for you!

Sweetness and Mells: Look at your big babies! I have grown jealous of you twin mommies.

My DS is almost 9 months old now. My pregnancy and delivery were quite difficult as well, but we're going to try to do it again. We thawed my frozen eggs today...11 of 18 survived, but only 8 were mature. So, that was a bit disappointing. Fertilization report coming tomorrow.

You may remember that during my pregnancy with DS, we learned that only 1/3 of my eggs were capable of making babies, due to a chromosomal abnormality I inherited from my mother. So, 8 eggs for me is like 2-3 eggs for other people. But it only takes one :)

P.S. - I remember when I was struggling to have my first child, I was less sympathetic to people trying to have their second. So, I understand if some of you find me annoying ;)

I'm rooting for you! I have 4 now because of the twins so no jealousy here.
 
Firsttry, I am also here cheering you on :happydance: I am yet to have my first child but still want to here about your fertilization report and your journey with your 2nd child. xx
 
First how exciting to be starting up again! Fx for great report today! I want to start again but I am kinda terrified.. I need to call to get a consult before years end so my insurance pays for all the meds.

My LO is doing great. 7 months in a couple days. Eating tons and the size of a 1 yr old. (He's around 22 lbs now and 30"). We had our first plane trip and that went well. But traveling with a baby isn't fun so next time we will drive I think unless it's a short trip.

Thanks, Sandy! And Brandy! And Mo! You guys are awesome :thumbup:

I had forgotten how long a single day can be when you're waiting :coffee:

FYI, here's the plan: assuming that we get some blasts, we will be doing PGD and freezing them. Assuming the PGD shows at least one normal embie, we hope to transfer before the end of 2014.

Last time, I had 8 mature eggs, and there were 7 duds and one DS, so I'm hopeful!

I have met several new moms this year through a new moms group. Many of them got pregnant very easily, but about a third did IVF. We didn't tell each other at first, but it eventually came out as we got closer. Only a couple of us have told the other moms.

Anyway, I had to stop breastfeeding almost three months ago so I could prepare for another try. The women who didn't have problems don't understand this at all. And will probably be asking soon whether I'm pregnant. If this doesn't work out, I'm not sure we'll do another full cycle. Then, I will have to have the difficult conversations about why they shouldn't expect me to ever be pregnant again, even though I stopped breastfeeding when my DS was 6 months old in order to try. Anyway, my point is that it's nice to talk to you guys because you get it :hugs:

That's a big boy!!! My 9 month old is just 20 lbs. I'm glad to hear that the flights went well. But yes, there's a ton of stuff to bring with you.

I've learned the secret of the car seat bag for traveling. You get to check the car seat for free, so if you get a travel bag for the car seat, you can stuff lots of other things in there with the seat.
 
Fert report: 9 fertilized! :happydance: I'm not sure how that happened. One of the immature eggs must have fertilized.

Does anyone know whether these are considered Day 1 or Day 2 embryos, if they were fertilized yesterday?
 
today is day 1, should be at pronucleus stage. so monday should be day 5.
 
Very exciting First! It's hard to talk to other people about it, which is why we come back to bnb to those who truly "get it". I'm trying again too first. Don't have any frosties to do FET with so hoping to try iui. Tho I'm a little doubtful it will be able to happen this way. We shall see. Very exciting your eggs fertilized, hopefully you get more blasts than you were expecting!

That's great, Hope! I hope IUI works for you. Do you have a plan as to when to get started?

Thanks for the well wishes :flower:
 
Yay, First! I'm so excited for you. 9 fertilized! That's awesome. I'll be thinking of you! It is always hard to talk about with others. Thank goodness for bnb. I shared my situation with friends before my last IVF cycle because I realized that I needed their support, no matter the result. They have been amazing and recently gave me a lovely baby shower. Not everyone understands, but the love is still there. ❤️
L4- I hope IUI works for you!
We've talked about whether we will do IVF again, and we really don't know. It would be amazing if we didn't have to, but I don't expect to be able to fall pregnant naturally. Either way, we are thrilled right now to be having our first child.

My Dr told me I had several complications last week and this week, there are none, including placenta previa. What a rollercoaster! I'll believe everything is fine after the next ultrasound. :winkwink:
 
First I'm just finishing up stimming right now. Waiting to hear this afternoon whether or not I will have one more day or trigger tonight. Hoping I have one more day to catch up a lagging follicle so I have two for iui. Hating that I lost my right tube!!

Lotus it's very exciting you are having your first Lo very soon! Sorry you had a possible scare for nothing. Hopefully things stay good and you can deliver naturally. I truly wish we were just doing ivf right now. Trying to do iui with one tube is very frustrating and I'm just not sure it's worth it. It's the finances that are keeping us from doing ivf again which just infuriates me. It's crazy how strong the emotions are still trying for a second. I thought after I had one I would be happy and not stress as much. But I want this baby just as badly as my first. Dont get me wrong, I'm thankful every day for my precious little guy and the joy that he brings to our lives every day.
 
Wow, L4, that's great that you're almost at trigger! I hope the second follie catches up, but it only takes one. I am rooting for you!

Lotus: Cool due date! I'm glad to hear that your complications have gone away. It must be a relief. But the rollercoaster is no fun, especially after all it took to get this far.
