congrats lucy that is awesome news!

dazed - ok hun whatever you are comfy with but I am sure if you tell them you are spotting and want to see someone that they would accomodate you...you just have to be a bit assertive ya know I have my fingers crossed for you.

ickle - sorry hun...well I guess it is just a waiting game now...or at least they can do something about it if it doesnt come on its own.

I actually did try being assertive when it all started and it got me nowhere. I may actually end up finding another practice.

@Ickle, sorry about the BFN hun!! Big hugs to you!!

@Lucy, Congrats on the promotion!!

@Dazed, I am sorry that the DR's office is not being helpful!! I agree that it sounds like it is time to find another practice!!! Good luck with everything hun!!

AFM, I had my 5 day embryo transfer today and All 9 of my embryos looked good. The DR. said that they are all of excellent quality. There were a few that needed an extra day to grow more to be able to freeze. But I am hopeful that all of the remaining ones will be healthy enough to freeze and I will get the results for that in a couple of days.

So the embryo transfer was fast. The DR recommended that we tranfser 2 embryos but we decided to transfer 3 of them. The good news is that this increases our odds of success, because originally I was only given 40% success, so putting in 3 ups my odds of success more. The dr did ask if we were okay with the chance of triplets and my DH & me decided that we are okay with it.

The embryo transfer itself was quick. The worst part is when they put the speculum in and it feels like your vagina is being ripped open, but once they get the catheter into the opening they can remove the speculum and it is easier after that. The DR cleans the top of the uterus, and he did a mock transfer to make sure that everything is going to work okay. The nurse from the lab popped in dropped off the embryos and they put them in through this long small tube, and you can sort of see it on the ultrasound, but it is hard figuring out what is what on the screen. DH said he could see it okay. Than once it was done I had to lay there for 15 minutes and let things settle in.

We got pictures of all 9 of our embryos and a picture of the 3 embryos we transfered. But I won't be able to upload pictures until I get back home tomorrow afternoon, we are making the 6 hour drive home tomorrow morning, and I can scan the pics to show you girls. So be sure to watch for pics tomorrow afternoon.

I didnt do bed rest today, but I have been taking it easy and not doing anything very strenous. I did take a nap when we got back from the DR's office. The DR's instructions dont mention bed rest, just relaxation, and no bouncing, running jogging etc. Tomorrow I can go back to normal, but no crazy work outs, jumping or running. Walking is okay though.

My blood work is scheduled for next Wednesday 12/05 for my HCG betas. Wish me luck. Although I will probably break down and test a few days before the blood work happens though.

Wannabe, that all sounds great! 9 is amazing!! Fx for your beta!!

 

[fisher640]

Sounds promising wannabe...
I'd be freaking about triplets even the IUI months I had three eggs (none of which were successful) I was on pins and needles the whole TWW.
:babydust:

Wanna - I am glad everything went well. Try and rest as much as possible. It is so weird how every doctor's orders are different. My doctor told me bed rest for two days and I couldn't do any activity for two weeks. Keeping my fingers crossed it will work.

TTC - hopefully your timing is perfect and you won't have to go through the IUI. Sometimes when you look ahead the strangest things happen.

Dazed - do what is best for you but it may be time for a new doctor

Lucy - congrats on the promotion. Hoping everything is looking up.

Ickle - Hopefully everything will figure itself out. I hate when you want her to come she never shows up and when you don't want her to come she arrives with full force. How is the weight loss going? Right now I am at a plateau. No matter what I eat I gain weight one week and then take it off the next. It has been the same 3 pound yoyo for 6 weeks now. So frustrating.

 

[Tarotempres]

Lucy - I am good. Still in a holding patern. Waiting to get all of my records from the doctor and waiting for AF to arrive so I can go to the new doctor for day 3 bloods so he can get a baseline. I am sure she will arrive when we have our weekend vacation planned for my husband's birthday. We will be starting in January because he is in the middle of changing practices so it will be a lot of fun come the new year because December - April are my crazy time at work.

 

[ickle pand]

Good luck wannabe. Sending you lots of sticky :babydust:

Tarot - I haven't updated my ticker for a few weeks, most because I've put on a few pounds lol! I tried to eat well while we were away for the weekend but I wasn't that great. I'll update the ticker when I get weighed tomorrow.

 

[Razcox]

Hey all!! Just checking in to see how everyone is doing.

Wannabe - Great news about the 3 embies will be sending lots of sticky thoughts there way. Oh and HUGE congrates on being PUPO xx

Dazed - Sorry you are so stressed out, it doesnt seem fair that we cant just enjoy our BFP's and every little thing sends us into a spin

AFM - Back from EC yesterday and we got 8 eggs so now just waiting to hear how they got on. They said yesterday they would call by 12 so I am giving them until then and then I will ring . .

ETA - Just had the call and 7 were suitable for injection, all 7 of those have fertilized Going for testing on thursday and fingers crossed et on Friday!!

 

[pinkfee]

Oh Raz thats wonderful news... hope testing goes well and good luck for friday!

Wannabe - wahoooo!! congrats on being PUPO, and you are one brave lady the thought of freaked me out constantly! but i know a lovely lady who has triplets and i don't think she'd change it for the world and they are dead cute! hoping they make themselves at home.

Dazed - i'm sorry your stressed aswell.. nothing is ever simple. still keeping everything crossed for you

Lucy - well done on the promotion. Hope you get the call back so things can start moving again!

Hope everyone else is well x

 

[ttcbaby117]

Dazed - sorry to hear that hun...yeah I would consider switching the practice. They should be paying more attention to you....at least that is my opinion. I hope everything works out and I am praying that you lil bean is a sticky one!

wannabe -that sounds awesome....wow triplets!!!!! I really hope this is it for you!

tarot - Yeah you are right when you dont concentrate on it things do happen. I hate holding patterns....it just seems that is all we do when we are ttc. I hope she doesnt show during your mini vaca!

Raz - that is awesome news!!! woohoo..one step closer to that bfp!

 

[Dazed]

Thanks, but it didn't go so well with me trying to get seen. Details in my journal

 

[Pnutsprincess]

Good morning Ladies,
How are you all doing? I am just waiting on AF to come which should be the first week of december. The fertility Clinic wants to do test when I am on CD 3.

 

[Tarotempres]

Dazed - Sorry it didn't go so well.

Raz - Keeping my fingers crossed that everything will be a go on Friday. Good Luck

Wanna - How are you doing today? How was the drive home?

TTC - I hope so too. It will be hard to get in for blood work when I will be four hours away. I am usually very anxious with the waiting game. This time I am a little more reserved. I guess it is because I feel more optimistic with changing doctors. I just wish my other doctor would get me my records so I can print them out and forward them to the new doctor so he can look at them and see what we need to change. I really want to be able to do my January cycle.

Hope everyone else is doing well.

 

[ttcbaby117]

dazed - sorry hun....I dont have a link to your journal.....

tarot - oh that is so frustrating. I really hope you get your records.

 

[lucylou7]

Thanks Dazed, how you feeling now hun? If you dont feel comfortable with your doc i would change as its not fair on you feeling this way hun x

TTC - Thank you at last a little bit of good luck for us!! now all we need is our little bundle of joy... how are you feeling?

Ikle - Sorry for the BFN, hope it turns into BFP

Wannabe - Im so happy that you have 3 back safe and sound where they belong hun and hope it ends in BFP for you x

Raz - Thats great hun!! Good numbers

Pink - Thank you.. How you feeling now? HOpe the sickness has stopped or at least calmed down x

Hope every one else is ok ?

AFM - Still waiting for a phone call back from st marys they said they call back withinb 72 hours (i dont remember it being this long last time) so they should call back tomorrow so we will see if we have been accepted... i hate waiting.. x

 

[wannabeprego]

@Raz, that is awesome news hun!! I am so happy that your eggs fertilized and that you have lots of embryos!!! Fingers crossed that they grow nice and strong for your embryo transfer!! How many embryos do you want to transfer? Do you know if you will be doing a 3DT or a 5DT?

@Tarot, Good luck with changing doctors!! I hope you get better treatment and care at the new practice!!!

@Lucy, I hope you hear back from St marys soon hun!! I am sure you are beyond tired of waiting to hear back!! I hate waiting myself!! Big hugs to you!!

@Dazed, I will stop by your journal to see what is going on shortly hun!!

@Pnut, they will most likely be looking at your FSH levels and doing CD 3 bloods, it shows what your ovarian resevere is and makes sure that it is normal. Good luck!!


AFM, I posted pictures of my embryos in my journal if anyone wants to take a peek!! They are so neat to look at!!
