So we are back and we transferred all 4! YIKES!! Doctor said given my age (3 weeks shy of 40) and the number of embryos, its better to get them inside than to wait it out. It appears we had 3 "B" grades and 1 "C" grade.

So hopefully the question will not be - are you pregnant, but how many???

omg thats so exciting!!!!!





oh please please let there be some sticky guys in there, you so deserve it. hope the success stories continue. will you test and when is your beta

for each lil embie, please stay with mummy

 

[hockey24]

I have vowed not to POAS this go round. We'll see how long I last. I know I will at least test the day of the beta in order to prepare myself. I want to try and keep the hope alive and my emotions steady through this 11 day wait. Beta is 7/24.

Been checking out different stats for 3 day embryos and based on cell stage and grade, I think 3 out of the 4 are in pretty good shape!

They have me doing daily progesterone shots - which are so much better than the suppositories and I'm starting estrogen patches in a few days. Whatever helps!

 

[Rona]

Yay Hockey!!! Hope the embies stick.

As for me, finally on CD88 the OPK positive! Hopefully I will get my period in two weeks. We're still BD naturally, who knows .

 

[Milty]

This is great news Hockey!!! Praying for your little ones

 

[sarahincanada]

Beta is 7/24.

urghh thats a long wait, how can I wait that long

I started getting faint lines 4dp5dt on frer which would be next thursday for you, but I understand you wanting to keep the pma and waiting.

 

[hockey24]

Last time I went on an emotional roller coaster by testing too much. This time I want to keep the hope alive all the way to the end.

Rona - CD88? Holy cow! That would drive me crazy!!

 

[sarahincanada]

rona arghhh how annoying, but glad your cycle is sorting itself out and hopefully you will be back on track soon. perhaps your body needed a longer re-cooperation and is recharged and ready to get pregnant

 

[crystal443]

Hockey- Its has to be a question of many not are you pregnant!!!!! So excited for you and can't wait to see how many stick

 

[Rona]

Hockey, yes...it drive me nuts also! I wonder if I hit menopause...oh no. But I don't have any sympthoms of menopause. Everything just normal except no period.

Sarah, I think so, it might be trying to make my body better and who knows

But guess what? Finally the Progesterone blood test yesterday confirmed that I ovulated..yehaaaaaa!!! My nurse immediately want me to take Estrace today for 7 days and if I get my period, my 2nd IVF will middle of August. But......it looks like we have to postpone to another cycle. My husband have to be at his Grandma memorial in Seattle, she passed away 2 weeks ago, I feel bad if I stop him, he also lost his best friend last week due to massive heart attack, he only 40.

So postpone to next month probably better. Further more I need to see aunt flo coming in reality so I know my body is back to normal before stuff it with the meds again.

Hockey...I am praying that this a successful one

 

[hockey24]

Rona - so glad to hear the news about ovulation and the potential for scheduling your next IVF - not so glad to hear the news for your DH. That's alot to take in a short amount of time.

But I'm quite certain that will be a welcome sight!

 

[drsquid]

rona- sorry you are going through so much. fingers crossed that this cycle did it (yay ovulation)

 

[sarahincanada]

how is everyone, rona how is everything?

so I had a bit of a panic attack and went for a last minute cancellation scan on saturday, I hadnt been feeling bub that much and MW scared me saying 3rd trimester losses are more common in our age group (she was only saying to be aware and to make sure i feel movement through the day, but it wasnt nice to hear ).

Bub was sleeping most of the time so we didnt get many good shots, when he moved the placenta was in the way but we got a couple at the end. But we saw him smile, yawn and stretch so I feel better! he definitely looks more chubby than last time. only 10 weeks to go, cant wait. heres the photos if anyone is interested.

Sarah- Can't believe you are entering the home stretch!!! It seems like just yesterday you were making your bfp announcement!

:wave: Hi everyone else. Hoping to join your over 35 assisted conception club.

After a long winding road ttc it looks like we will be finally starting IVF sometime in the coming months in attempt to conceive our first.

I expect to start my injections on September 2nd. I am excited and nervous and very anxious. I am looking for support and hopefully I can be of support to all of you!
