Anyone starting IVF cycle in April/May?

[star25]

Yay mowat, so exciting! Hope all goes well

Mowat how exciting!

Twinkle, thanks hon.

EC done. They got 11 eggs and 9 were mature enough for icsi. I'm laid up at home now with a hot water bottle. Will get an update in the morning about fertilisation. I've opted for 'care maps' which is something my clinic do monitoring the embies without removing them from the incubated. DH isn't impressed with me as he doesn't think it will make a difference but it gives a better chance of spotting which ones have chromosomal abnormalities and might struggle to implant. Since I wanted to go to blast but can't I figure this gives us more information about the embies in a shorter time and hopefully offsets not going to blast.

Ahh hope your ok lizzie, great news about the eggs, look forward to the update on how your embies are doing tomoro, the care maps sound good and I agree with you in doing all you can to be able to let the best quality ones implant

 

[mowat]

Sounds good Lizzie. Nice number of eggs! Good luck on Friday.

 

[JACKDOLL]

Lizzie congrats on all those eggs. Well done. Diffently recommend the care maps, heard good reports. It's an extra £800 in my clinic to get that.

 

[lizzie78]

Jackdoll, it is in mine too which is why DH isn't impressed with me but I figure we are getting £400 back that was to take us to blast so actually its "only" another £400 iykwim. Now we are bickering about that and how many embies to transfer if we get that far. Aargh. I'm staying away from home tonight to minimise the amount of driving I'm doing today so maybe a break from each other will do us good.

 

[star25]

Dont worry lizzie, I'm sure your dh wont be saying another word on the matter when you get your bfp

 

[JACKDOLL]

Lizzie if you think it's the best thing to do then go for it, don't have any regrets..
Did you get an update on your embryos?

AFM I had my 12 week scan yesterday, the scan was so clear. Baby jumping about very active and was waving at us. My heart melts everytime I think about it.

[star25]

So ladies, when are your official test dates and will you be testing early?

 

[lizzie78]

Mine is sat 9th august. Right now I don't think I will be testing early but I reserve the right to change my mind! It might be that once I'm over egg retrieval properly I change my mind

 

[star25]

I think I would be too scared to test when it's my turn but at the same time I'm so impatient!
