[pinkfee]

Oh Lucy I am sorry but it really does only take 1. I'll keep everything crossed its a healthy strong one that fertilises and starts to divide. Did they do ICSI?

Lucy - I am sorry honey. You may want to talk to the dr about doing icsi or assisted hatching if they offer it. We are here for you

TTC - Thank you that was the website. I was looking all over BnB for it not even thinking it wasn't a BnB forum. Hoping I don't need to use it but now I have it at least. Thank you again.

Sorry Lucy. Got everything crossed its a super duper eggy and that its all you need.

AFM - Well we've decided to take this month off from clomid, not taking it off TTC though. I just need it after the emotional turmoil I've been in and I need to get back in control of my weight which is impossible when you're comfort eating constantly.

I'm going to call the clinic tomorrow and let them know. I don't know if they'll still do progesterone tests or not this cycle. I'll tell them why and ask if there any any alternatives we can try next time.

Ickle - i know the emotional eating is so hard. Every time I want to eat emotionally I take a look at how far I have come and how much weight I have already taken off I go for a better option and feel much better with myself. Going through both things at the same time is so not easy. Here for support.

Thank you. I need to update my weight ticker because its way off at the moment. I'm still loads lighter than I was this time last year though so I have to keep looking at the big picture.

 

[Tarotempres]

Ickle - tomorrow is going to come no matter what we do so we may as well try and do our best and make better decisions. All of the weight didn't go on overnight and even though we are taking it off it doesn't change who we are inside and what triggers our behaviors. Just know I am going through with weight loss struggle with you.

@lucy, I am so sorry that you didnt get more eggs. What kind of a medication protocol did they have you on for this IVF cycle? I agree with the other girls that all it takes is one. Fingers crossed that your egg turns into a strong healthy embryo for your ET!!! Good luck hun!!!

 

[OperationBbyO]

I'm cheering on your egg with everything I have!! Go egg go!!!!

 

[ttcbaby117]

Ickle - I think that is a brilliant idea. Get your life back for a while and when you are ready try again.

Lucy - praying hard thats your lil miracle

Just an quick update for you all, not great news and still very upset they only got 1 egg the other follicles had no eggs in I know it only takes 1 so I'm praying to god the one one egg is strong will find out tomorrow morning x

Lucy - I wanted to offer you some encouragement. At my last monitoring appt before ER I had 9 follicles (which was about half of what my RE expected). Then I had ER and we only got 3 eggs, the other 6 were "empty". I was given the news as I was recovering from anesthesia and was crushed! The nurse said they looked good and were mature. I bawled the whole way home. I was on pins and needles the next 24 hours waiting for the second they told me I could call for the fert report. When I called I was told that two had fertilized normally and to show up day 3 for transfer. When we went in for our transfer appt my RE informed me that we had 3 to put back! I was shocked! I didn't ask, but I am assuming that I called before the third one had fertilized.

I know my story is different than yours, but I had less than perfect results with my response to stimming and at ER! Everyone kept telling me it only takes one and they are right! I will be praying that that one bean is sticky and burrows in nicely for 9 months!!!!

Thanks every one xxx

don't worry about the procedure probably just means your OH' s sperm is strong enough sample & your egg is good enough quality. I think they only interfere when one or the other isn't looking great, hope u managed to get some sleep, this process is never easy, good luck for today hun x

 

[pinkfee]

ickle - in this ltttc game u need to do whatever feels right for you and if taking a break is it then go for it, it'll do u the world of good. x

Thanks pinkfee.

I've just called the clinic and spoke to one of my favourite nurses She was lovely and said she completely understood why I felt I needed a month off. I asked if there was anything else I could take. She said they occasionally prescribe tamoxifen when people are suffering with side effects but its usually for headaches and dizziness so she's going to check with the doctors and get back to me. They don't dispense it at the clinic so I'd need a prescription from either the FS or my GP. Happy with all that though.

 

[ttcbaby117]

ickle - that is wonderful.....enjoy your time off!

Lucy - thinking of you...please let us know how it all goes!

 

[OperationBbyO]
