Anyone doing FET/IVF in Jan 2013 till everyone's BFP (Everyone Welcome)

Mells - That is a fantastic amount of eggs - well done!!!

Sandy - I think its natural to get like this closer to OTD!

Ali - seems like we are doing the same things this month with an investigation month!!! I am sure they will make sure they tailor your meds to make sure that your lining doesn't get too thick... and its good to have this month to see how things go... Am I being daft or doesn't the E2 shot thicken lining? I am being told that I might have estrogen patches to help with lining etc... maybe I have the wrong end of the stick???

AFM - I had my lining check today. I am CD14 and measured 7.5mm. They have said that this is good and by the time I would hit ET it would be about 12. So think I might have a very light drug dose through to my FET next month but nothing too much..
I also had a NK blood test and I am going in for my endometrium scratch on the 6th March - hoping all these things help!!!

You are correct, the E2 shot does thicken the lining. Which is why I'm so surprised that they are making me double my dose? I'm only on CD 7 and my lining is as thick as yours. They tested my E2 as well, and it is currently at 693! Which again seems high. So I have no idea what they are doing. Seems kind of odd? Sounds like your scratch will be a few days before mine, I think they are doing mine on the 7th and 9th. Possibly the 6th and 8th? IDK.

Mells - great news.. 11 eggs!! Looking forward to your fertilization report. Are they doing ICSI?

Sandy - are you feeling better? Stay positive!!!

L4 - wow those are some powerful words, and yes, that is my sentiment exactly. My Mom also says.. that which doesn't kill you makes you stronger. I think we are some tough cookies! Maybe that is why we are all here? God knows we are strong and we can handle this?

Yay feeling better, pma is starting to come back xx

everhopeful - Have you had the scratch done before? I will be doing mine in march and just wonder if it helped you get pregnant before?

 

[everhopeful]

Ttcbaby - not had one before but my clinic here in the uk says it increases chances by up to 20% so I'm giving it a go!! There is a lot of great research on it helping couples in Europe. Good luck with yours!! Xx

Yep, in fact my FS went to a lecture series put on by a European fertility team that is how he came up with the biopsy idea for me. My biopsy is actually being flown to Spain for analysis The fertility team in Europe is hoping to bring the same testing/analysis to the US, and my FS is helping with that. Although I have heard that the biopsy itself improves your chances, the test we're doing looks at your lining, and determines if it is receptive or not. Then they repeat the biopsy 2 days later. This helps to determine when your lining is at its peak so when we do transfer the little embies back, we are doing it at the perfect time!

Ash - sorry about the headaches . I hope your appointment today went well!

Ali - I love what your Mom said. Wow, it's really great that you're getting those implantation biopsies done. It sounds very cutting edge and hopefully other clinics will pick up the practice too.

Sandy - I know it's hard but try to keep that PMA. You are so close!

Mells - yay congrats that is a great number of eggs!!!

L4 - thanks for sharing that. I love it!

Yup we are doing ICSI. DH's numbers aren't too low but they said it will give us the best odds at the point.

Totally! I had 17 eggs, 15 mature and 12 fertilize with donor so hopefully you'll have 8-10 fertilize!

mells - we're doing ICSI too but my OH's numbers aren't that bad. They just want a higher fertilization rate. I hope it works for us both!

AFM - Everything went well at my appointment this morning. My lining is at 8.5, the follicles she measured were 8 and 11mm and the others weren't too far behind. While at the appointment the doctor told me that I would come back on Sunday but when I got the call from the nurse she told me that copperman wants to see me back tomorrow morning. I guess my estrogen numbers indicated that I'm moving along quickly and they want to monitor me closely? I don't really know, I just do what they tell me. So off I go tomorrow morning to get monitored again, I can't wait to find out when the ER will be! I'm thinking it may be sooner than the 28th at this rate! I've only been stimming for 6 days today.

Anyone have any recommendations for FS in New York? LI area

 

[ttcbaby117]

Ever - yes that is what my Dr said also...I am doing it and hope it helps

Ali - what you are doing is so interesting, I would have loved to try that.

Ash - wow those are great numbers.

Sam - sorry hun I am not from there but a lot of women on here seem to go cnyfertility and I checked them out as they have good stats and are not to expensive. You can check them out at cnyfertility.com

 

[ashknowsbest]

samsfran - I know you said the LI area but I go to RMANY and I'm happy with their services ... so if you don't find anything on LI you can check out that clinic!

ttcbaby - thanks! I had great numbers last time too so I'm not getting too hopeful yet!

 

[Babiesimready]

Ash: I pray everything goes well with your stims, you';re doing really well with the response

I pray for Sandy and everyone thats going through this journey with me that just as God has answered my prayers, God will answer yours too . You all have been so supportive and this is the best thread on B&B

DH is not home yet, hes working on his MBA so he went to class, I cant wait to show him.

 

[LotusBlossom]

Yay, babies!!!!!! Congratulations!!!!

 

[L4hope]

Congrats Babies!! Look forward to your beta on Monday!

 

[Mells54]

Hooray Babies! Congrats!!!

I got the call this morning...all 11 eggs fertilized! We are doing a 5 day transfer, so Wednesday it is! I can't believe I've made it this far in this journey.

 

[LotusBlossom]

Yay, Mells! That is a great number!!!

 

[MoBaby]

That's awesome!!!

 

[ashknowsbest]

Wow such good news today!

babies - huge congratulations on your pregnancy, have a happy and healthy 9 months

Mells - I congratulated you on your 11 embryos on the other thread but congratulations again!!! That really is amazing!

AFM - things are looking great at my scan this morning. I have about 7 follicles that the doctor measured that are around 13mm. There were others but he did not bother to measure those. My lining is still at 8.5mm and my e2 is at 1000 (say what?) so he said that I'm most likely going to be coming in everyday for monitoring until the ER.... not too excited about that just because it's so time consuming but obviously I'll do what has to be done. I'm getting very excited for the ER and can't wait to see how many we get to fertilized this time with ICSI!
