Well, got a call late last night that none of the eggs fertilized again talked to the FS for a few minutes and he said the problem seems to lie with the rate that they grow with the stims. Meaning some are too mature, some not mature enough etc. so I have to go see him next week and we can discuss how we get around the problem

I asked if maybe they were just poor quality and he said he didn't think that was the problem as even poor quality will fertilize, they may not go far in a pregnancy but will at least fertilize, these were at different stages of maturity so hopefully this can at least answer some questions and get us on the right path

I'd like to say I feel bad but to be honest I don't really I just didn't feel like this was going to work so I feel fine. Thank god we get most of our money back or I probably would be rocking in a corner

I am shocked. I'm so sorry Crystal. Glad to hear that you are coping well at least.
Would ICSI be an option?

Crystal I was just going to ask about ICSI as well.... ??

I am so sorry.

I know you didnt have a good feeling about this one, I also wonder why they didnt just ICSI them straight away but I suppose what he is saying is that none of them were the right maturity.
thank god you get most of your money back.
would the next step be donor egg?
you are such a strong woman

hi everyone

so just got my beta results for yesterday, 30 dpo....29,040. Last monday was 6335. at first I thought oh no, thats not doubling every 48 hours anymore (would be nearer 48,000) but I looked online and the doubling time seems to drop off as you get higher levels (im attaching an example if anyone wants to know for the future).

one week tomorrow is my scan, Im feeling so sick and can only spend short amounts of time at the computer. I dont know how anyone could work a normal job feeling like this. but I am not going to complain as I am lucky to even have gotten this far.

LL I remember you got some betas later on, when was your last and what was the number? my mum seems to think everything is guaranteed to be ok with rising numbers but I do tell her look anything can happen and rising betas doesnt mean there will be a heartbeat. I did try and look back for your post where you posted your numbers but couldnt find it

Oh Crystal - I'm so sorry!
I would be so frustrated!! But I do hope your next visit will get some questions answered and get you on the right path for success.

So none of the eggs were at the right maturity?

Sarah- I am so excited for you. Those numbers just keep going up and your getting closer and closer to your scan date.

As much as the sickness is miserable - enjoy it! It's that little bean letting your know he's growing!!

 

[LLbean]

Crystal so sorry I honestly don't even know what to say but I agree, why not icsi???

Sarah They didn't give me all my Betas after a While...after the US showed it was fine I think it was just scans from then on

 

[crystal443]

Girls, that WAS with ICSI

I think its honestly made me more determined to figure out why its happened. The FS was telling me last night that its quite rare to have this happen twice. I also found out which I'm quite angry about the last FS told us 2 eggs fizzled last time but the report says 0 fertilzation so its actually happened twice which is even rarer. Nothing actually fizzled because nothing fertilized..

We knew it was going to be a longer road with IVF for us with my immune problems so I'm really not surprised we're having these problems but we'll get it figured out. Whether we continue to try with my eggs or throw the towel in and use donor eggs we'll get there in the end

Sarah- I think Betas tend to slow a bit as you get further along in weeks Your numbers look great and I cannot wait for your scan

LL- Thanks there's nothing much to say really it sucks a$$ but its not the end of the world or end of the road so it'll be fine

Ready- I PM'd you thanks

Hockey- You will have a better cycle I'm just an odd duck and because I have immune problems anyway my body can react to things in some strange ways so it just takes a bit longer to figure out what will work. I cannot wait to follow your cycle

Thanks everyone for being there I really don't know what I'd do without you

 

[LLbean]

I hate to ask but... Is your hubby ok sperm wise?

 

[sarahincanada]

crystal you are such a wonderful woman.just like LL you have the greatest attitude and I really do believe it will happen for you someday. its great that modern technology can really look deeply into these things and come up with a solution. and this FS seems a lot better than the last one. As much as its hard to have this outcome I would would much prefer this happening now rather than transferring embryos that are bad anyway and having that awful wait. Looking forward to your apt next week to figure out the next steps

 

[LLbean]

I agree with Sarah...my last cycle was a flop too but at least it was more bearable than the one before since we got all excited and then nothing came of it later...

Hang in there... you WILL have a baby, that is for sure

 

[dachsundmom]

Crystal, your attitude is amazing! I think your first doctor sucks big time ass.

 

[crystal443]

Thanks girls Both FS' has said DH's sperm is fine but I don't know exact numbers We will get there but it is going to take a bit more time I totally agree LL and that's what I said last night I would much rather find out now then find out later that's for sure

Look even in my early 20's I had these issues so they're not new to me, we've just never bothered exploring them so deeply before I've got a fantastic DH and we're in this till we get our baby so no giving up here and no giving up for LL 2012 will be our year

 

[crystal443]

Crystal, your attitude is amazing! I think your first doctor sucks big time ass.

If I ever see that b*tch I'm going to walk up and kick her, the evil cow I hope menopause is especially cruel to her
