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

Holy Mackeral Sandy!!! That is incredible!!! Congrats!!!! I'm so excited for you!!!
 
14 retrieved...11 mature...9 fertilized!!! YAY!!!!!! 💃💃
Lol I had the exact same numbers for my last fresh cycle! Congrats!!! Plenty of frosties!

Really??? That's wild! How many frosties did you have? I'm just hoping the lot makes it to the testing stage...last time around I had 3 fertilize naturally, and 3 with "rescue ICSI". We transferred 3 (two of the naturals and 1 of the rescued) and the other 3 didn't make the frosty cut. PRAYING that these 9, since they were all ICSI'd off the bat, are in it for the long haul!! Should get an update shortly....

Hope you are feeling great Anxious!!! xo
 
Thanks Mo & Turkey

Just hope one of them is good enough to stick!!!!

I transferred 2 and manage to freeze all of the remaining 7. Not sure how many were naturally fertilized though. If all your 9 embies were ICSI'd, good chances that they will all be high quality!
 
OK just got the call from the lab...of 9 fertilized, 2 failed to "cleave"...so they are out. We have 7 left. All between 2 & 4 cells, except for one which is at 8 cells. The lab gal told me 2 & 4 cells is the norm for today, so most likely we've got 6 still in the running. (that 8 cell guy is too "quick out of the gate"). Not perfect, but not bad at all. Lab tech said everything is good and we're still looking at Sat. for the biopsy.

I'm PRAYING that the embryos that wouldn't make the cut in the CCS testing are the ones that are failing...do you guys think this might be the case?? Trying to stay positive!!!
 
Turkey, sounds like those 6 are definitely looking good. As for the testing question i wouldn't know, sorry i couldn't be more help :hugs:

Can i ask that if this testing takes place on saturday will you also be transferring on saturday if all is well? xx
 
Thanks Sandy...provided we have some blastocysts to work with on Sat (day 5) they will biopsy on sat, and send specimins off to a special lab. Results will come on Sunday morning, and then transfer will happen late morning on Sunday.

The whole situation is uber-intense. SIGH.
 
Sounds like things are moving along Turkey. I didn't realize that an embryo could grow too fast.
 
Sandy and turkey- everything is going I turn out great and you will both be getting a BFP :-)
 
Turkey: awesome report!!! :happydance: I hope they all make it to blast. From 8 mature eggs, I had 6 fertilize normally, and ended up with 2 blasts on day five and 2 that needed an extra day. We implanted one and froze 3. The last frostie is the one that took.

Sandy: whoa! That's a lot of follies!

Brandy: glad everything looks good :thumbup:
 
Turkey keeping fingers crossed for your 6 embabies. Grow grow grow to beautiful blasts!!

Sandy you are quite the stimmer!! Can't wait for your retrieval! That's great you are able to take two weeks off to relax while your little one snuggles in for the long haul!
 
Hi Ladies,

Sorry I have been MIA for a while! I needed a break from the whole TTC ratrace. It can get a little overwhelming! I am now gearing up for my IVF, it is still a long while out, but at least I have some dates!
I am starting BCP in about 2 weeks once I get AF, then Lurpon is projected to start around Oct 7th then about 2 weeks later we'll start with stims, and egg retrieval is to be around Halloween! :happydance: So happy I finally have some dates! YAYAY!

Turkey, I am watching your cycle with great interest as I too will be doing CSS although my clinic calls it PGD, the important part is that they test for all the chromosomal abnormalities. I too wondered about whether the ones that didn't make it to blast were the ones that were not chromosomally normal. I really don't know the answer?!?! I would like to think that is the case, but since I had 1 miscarriage with it being most likely due to bad chromosomes I think it is safe to assume that some will still get to blast. Here is hoping that you get some nice healthy blasts!!! :hugs:

Sandy.. so exciting! Can't wait for your next update!

Sorry haven't been around much we were on vacation in Cali for a week. I love coming back to such great news on this thread!
