Calling all RMA Ladies (1st page updates)

[sweet hrt]

Goodluck, we discussed about genetic testing with our physician on our first consultation visit, there was no separate session specifically for PGD. My DH has been doing the injections on me since I am scared of needles. Anyway, it doesn't hurt much as you get used to them with time.
Spoiled, hope are levels are moving down.
Missy, how are you progressing towards your ER, lots of best wishes!
Hello to EOE

AFM..We finally got our PGD results 2 weeks after the day 6 blasts were frozen. We are so glad to know that out of the 5 blasts, 4 are normal. They might schedule the transfer of the best looking blasts, one 6BA and one 5BB, sometime in April.
Will keep you guys posted. Take care ladies.

 

[MissyMaddy]

This is sooo awesome.. Congrats Sweet and I am so sure you will be announcing your bfp v soon.

Afm.. I am doing good. I don't know how many follies I have growing actually as they are around 11-15mm in size. E2 started to climb up more than triple But after ganirelix it almost stopped increasing. Don't know if it's normal or not. Have to ask my nurse on Monday. Any idea?

Ladies how was your e2 on trigger day and how many follies above 18mm??

 

[jchic]

Swt- great results with the PGD!
Maddy- not sure on my e2 but I think I had maybe 6 over 18 or so. Remember once you trigger the smaller ones will catch up! We had a total of 14 at ER and 11 were mature.

 

[sweet hrt]

Good luck Maddy!
I don't remember my e2 level before the trigger day, I think I had 6 follicles one side and may be 2 on other side that were above 18. And then the day before retrieval few more were above 18mm in size.

 

[MissyMaddy]

UPDATE.. ER tomorrow. Nervous yet excited!! I will update tomorrow God willing.

 

[jchic]

MADDY!!!!! EEEKKKK!!!! SOOOOO excited for you! What time are you going in? Will be praying for you and CANT WAIT to hear how many eggs you got! I am sure this is going to be successful for you, RMA NJ is amazing!
Remember to drink tons of fluids when you get home and use a heating pad. Try not to stress and all will be fine! SOOOO excited for you!!!!!

 

[MissyMaddy]

Awwww Jess I love youuu!!! My retrieval is at 3 pm. Going to Wal-Mart in few hours to grab some Gatorade and chips... I Am hoping for 15 eggs atleast. Thank you for your prayers I desperately need them!!

 

[MissyMaddy]

So we are driving back home. Still dizzy. Abit nauseous and cramps. But doing pretty well. Got 25 #eggs. Fingers crosseddd

 

[jchic]

Hollyyyyyy smokes! 25 eggs is amazing!!!!! Wow!!!!! Praying you get tons of blasts and frosties! Update tomorrow with your fert report. So happy for you- Now go rest!!!! Xoxo

 

[MissyMaddy]

Can't wait Jess.. I will update tomorrow... Muah!

 

[sweet hrt]

Fantastic numbers Maddy! congrats , they will make great blastocysts as well.

 

[MissyMaddy]

I just got a call from my nurse. None of my babies are at blastocyst stage. So tomorrow they are gonna freeze those who make it. 16 are still growing but who knows what tomorrow brings. I'll do FET in May..

 

[jchic]

Maddy, I know you must be dissapointed. Please dont be. FETs at RMA have a higher statistic of success than fresh transfers. So honestly, it could better your chance! Also, the FET process is much easier on the body - not a ton of shots, etc so you and your body will be more relaxed during the process (which is quicker). 16 is a great number and I am sure some will make it to blast stage. I know a TON of people who have done FETs at RMA. Daisy Q, Bluestorm, etc. and ALL are prego or have just had their babies. KNOW that just a little longer to wait, May is literally here. Take this time to hang out and spend quality time before you become a mama!

 

[MissyMaddy]

Thank you Jess! I am trying very hard to stay positive. I stalked Blues journel. Her babies took one more day which gives me hope. This process needs alooottt of patience

 

[goodluck2me]

I am beginning to think more and more that this process is like a Russian roulette-one never knows what is waiting around the corner...

Good luck to you, Maddy; I am sure that everything will turn out well for you at the end.
I guess, we can only try to do our best in regards to what is in our hands, and trust the rest to our doctors.

 

[MissyMaddy]

Thanks Goodluck.. How's stimming going on?

 

[DaisyQ]

Maddy - my baby, due in 5 weeks, was from an embryo that didn't make it to blast until day 6 and was then frozen. Don't give up hope!

 

[goodluck2me]

I have my own bump in this process. The day I was to start injections was delayed. On my first ultrasound they found a cyst...Very frustrating! Trying to get rid of it now with the help of Ovidrel.

 

[jchic]

Goodluck - ugh that is annoying! Hopefully the ovidrel shrinks the cyst!!!

 

[MissyMaddy]

Ugh.. Man it's not fun when things don't go as planned! But RMA is amazing and they know what they are doing. You are in great hands hun I can see almost everyone here had success.. so keeping faith..
