Hi ladies

Sorry for the delayed announcement! Our baby girl was born a week ago today! It's been the most exhausting week as ended up having a really long labour ending with a c section, and I'm still recovering physically from that.

Delighted with our new arrival. Can't believe how perfect she is and that she's finally here!

Hope everyone is well xxxx

Congratulations, Jack!!! So happy for you!

Childbirth is pretty ridiculous, huh? The first several weeks with baby can get really tough too. Hang in there, it gets much easier

So, today's report was that 7 embryos are still alive. Clearly, either today's or yesterday's was wrong. I left a message and waiting to hear back.

 

[MoBaby]

Jack congrats!!

First that is great news!

Congratulations Jack x

 

[LotusBlossom]

Thanks, ladies!

Mo- Yeah, I am confused as to how my pregnancy could go from having all those complications to being perfect 5 days later. I'm guessing the Dr was just being super cautious. I really like her, and that hasn't changed. I just hope I get the same news at the next ultrasound.

Congratulations, Jack!!! I am so happy and excited for you! So sorry your labor was long and ended in a c-section. I thought I would be having a c-section, but now Dr says it will be a vaginal birth. I'm a bit terrified, to be honest!

First- Is tomorrow Day 5? Whether you have 5 or 7, it sounds like things are going well! Thinking of you!!!

 

[FirstTry]

Thank you, Lotus! So, only 5 were progressing on day 2, but two others started growing by day 3. Go figure. As of yesterday, we had one 8 cell, one 7 cell, two 6 cells, two 4 cells, and one 3 cell. They want to see 6-8 cells.

Tomorrow is day 5, so fingers crossed! My DS took til day 6 to become a blast, so Tuesday there could be additional blasts.

Jack- congrats!!! So exciting!!

L4- wow your trying too?! That's awesome!!! How many will u put back??

First- yay that's a lot. More then enough. How many do you plan to put back as well???

Lotus- I CANT wAit til your baby gets here! Waiting patiently. ������

How is everyone else?!

Afm- have been dieting with slim4life since aug 16 im down 30 pounds! Pretty exciting. I now have started my strength training to tone up with muscle. By the time I am where I need to be. Will be trying again ☺️

exciting times!! everyone trying for #2. I want to call my RE but i keep getting nervous to call. If I get meds by end of year I have no payment out of pocket because I met my deductible having baby. But if I start next year I have to pay. It would save us 3-5K. I am thinking about doing a full cycle then freezing all the embryos. We may do genetic testing. I want to be very aggressive with whatever we do because I am only doing 1 IVF cycle for a sibling and if it doesnt work then that is it. So I have to be as aggressive as possible so I know we gave it our all. So we will do a freeze all, probably genetic testing (if enough embryos) and transfer a normal girl (or if we do 2 a girl and boy) in a FET and have an endometrial scratch biopsy the cycle before transfer. Ideally I would like to have this all completed by summer next year so if I want that I need to start soon. So maybe I will call for that consult this week afterall

L4, How you getting on?

Mo, Sounds like you have a plan in place especially with how much money you would save xx

Call, Mo, call! If for no other reason, just get the protocol and the meds, to take advantage of your insurance.

Thanks, Sandy!

I was just reading your signature. Do you know when in Nov you will start?

 

[L4hope]

Jack congratulations on your baby girl!!! It's just the most beautiful gift! Sorry you had a rough delivery. Sadly I think a lot of us have less than ideal labor. But the end result is totally worth it!

Lotus hope your next ultrasound still looks good!

First, your little embabies are doing great!!

Mo I would definitely get the meds now, that's a huge savings! It's a little scary getting back into the ttc mindset.

Sweetness, I wish I was transferring. But we have no frosties leftover. Due to the financial expense of ivf we are trying to do a couple rounds of iui. Last two months were busts with clomid. One month all my follicles were on the right which is the tube I lost in my csection. Last month I had fluid in my uterus which they think was because of clomid and how it was thinning my lining. This month we went with an injectable cycle. Just had my iui this morning. Really hoping it will work this time!

Hi

I will be calling on first day of AF which should be the end of this month and start on day 21 so transfer will be beginning of sept xx

 

[MoBaby]

l4 I didn't realize you lost a tube during your csection. I guess I missed that

Fx this cycle works!!! How exciting!

We need all the saving we can get at this point considering we've spent well over 40k already. I had plenty in my savings for another ivf and maternity leave but we have to have our back yard and deck redone so that is coming out of there. We spent a lot of savings trying for #1. But money is just money and a baby is way better

 

[FirstTry]

Sandy: I assume you mean Dec? That's awesome! Coming very soon. If I can get my thyroid in gear (it's hyper due to childbirth), maybe we'll be cycle buddies

L4: I also missed that you lost a tube from the c-section. So sorry to hear that. But I'm glad this cycle you had eggs on the left side. Fingers crossed that this is your month!

 

[Sandy83]

Yes I mean Dec! Obviously wasn't thinking when I posted xx

 

[L4hope]

So exciting Sandy! Can't wait to cheer you on!!!

Yeah my csection was emergency and under general anesthesia because of my risk of bleeding with low platelets. During surgery I had bleeding from my right tube, I'll prob never know why, so they removed part of it. Just trying to keep ttc challenging I guess. Fingers crossed lefty can get the job done!

So, day 5 and no blasts, but 4 are almost blasts. I'm chalking it up to frozen eggs. Maybe it takes them an extra day?
