Terri, yay for 14 fertilized!!! GREAT news!!! I was hoping to see your report soon. I have a VERY GOOD feeling about this one for you!
jkb, welcome to our group! We're more than happy to have you join us.
GL in your cycle, and keep us posted! I'll be starting my Lupron for my 2nd FET (3rd try total) in about 2 1/2 weeks.
Welcome to LadySosa also! Yes I implanted 2 during my fresh transfer (nothing came out of that one), then 2 with my first FET (implantation occurred, but turned into a CP), and I'm doing 2 for my next FET, and might even do 3 (more on that below). GL with your laparascopy! I'm sure you're excited to be getting started with IVF soon.
beagle, glad you've decided to move forward... if you end up getting the grant, I just really think your RE will refund your money and allow you to use that money. Or like you said, if you just pay it forward to someone else, then you'll have some good karma vibes coming your way.
booger, I guess you're just chilling out at this point huh? Sending good vibes to your frosties, and hoping for good PGS/PGD results! Can't wait to hear.
Jen and Moni, so happy that things are going great with your pregnancies. I'm glad you're still checking in and keeping us posted. I'd miss you if you were gone, i've gotten so used to having you two around!
Hi to Amy and brighteyez!! I'm excited for you girls, since you're getting so close!
AFM, my appt went good. My RE confirmed that a CP is almost always chromosomal, so DH and I have been very unlucky twice now. Back in Dec when we got prego on our own (just clomid), and now this FET. I hate the thought that we may have had good embies in there during our fresh transfer, and my hormone levels may have made my lining not receptive to them. But no way to know for sure, and nothing we can do about it now. The plan is to move forward with my next FET the same as before... I'll start Lupron on day21 of this cycle, then call when AF comes. She wants to do a hysteroscopy after AF, so that she can take a look inside my uterus to see if there are any polyps in my lining, or anything else that might be hindering implantation. If that's clear, then its likely that indeed the CPs were chromosomal. If its not clear, she'll go ahead and clear anything out of there, and we'd have to postpone my transfer. So, hoping it's clear. If it is, I'll start my E patches after that.
Now I have to let her know if we want to do PGS on the last 4 embies, OR if we want to just put 3 in there instead of 2. She was not ok doing 3 previously, but now she's more open to it. She still believes that 1 out of 3 embies are good at my age, so she thinks we should do the transfer without putting the strain of PGS on the embies. But she said its totally up to us. To prevent additional strain from more thawing/freezing, she said we could do an overnight stat PGS. They'd basically thaw them the day before my transfer, take the biopsy, and have the results by the next morning, and we'd do a day6 transfer using only the good embryo. If we have 2 good ones, then we'd just decide if we want to put both in. And its unlikely that we'd have 3 good ones, but if we did, they'd just re-freeze it. The other option is to spare the embies the PGS (and the expense, as I'm not sure if my insurance pays for that part or not), and just go ahead and put in 3 (her preference). Odds are we'd grab at least one good one. But there's no guarantee, so I want to think hard about this decision. DH and I will talk more about it tonight. But I'm leaning toward the PGS, so that I'm not in the dark. I'd like to KNOW before they go in this time, because if it were to fail again, I would always wonder.
