Herts & Essex - Short protocol

[schoolteacher]

Sorry to hear your news C&j! It's so upsetting! X x x x

Lisa- how many eggies?? How many fert? Hope your alright! X x

Chichi! Glad your doing well! Keeping sex a surprise! What about u? I'm spotty too x

 

[lisasimon]

hi ST - we got 17 eggs - 13 mature - 9 fert - 9 on there way to blast with 6 being top garde on day 3 but they have all gone to blast.

really nervous as never had that many fert or go as far as they have gone

and then i read something that made me wobble and ring the clinic made a show of myself but im sure it wont be the last time

st how many did you have at day 3 and then on day 5 on all of your cycles? xx

 

[schoolteacher]

Yay for 9! Oh god I need to remember! Well baring in mind I was sharing I think I had 5 go to blast (1 was lacking) and 3 made it- top quality!! The 2nd cycle about 7 went to blast but some of them weren't great and only 2 made it and they weren't great! 3rd cycle had my most eggs, but lots dropped off! 5 I think went to blast and 2 top quality made it- and as u know one stuck!!
When is ET? U will get some good ones don't worry!! X

 

[schoolteacher]

Ps u have got more going to blast and more top quality then I ever had by the sounds of it! X x x

 

[lisasimon]

hi ST

we got 2 early blast on board they was transferred yesterday and today we have 2 frosties
we have done really well

Hi CJ, sorry to hear your news. Thinking of you xx

Lisa - ooh exciting, fingers crossed!

Hi everyone else, hope you're all ok.

First adoption meeting went ok. Was a bit of a reality check regarding what we are embarking on and the needs of the children etc. The whole process is a bit overwhelming but then so would the IVF process be if someone sat us down at the start and detailed everything that we would have to go through. The difference is that at least with adoption there should be an end point, whereas for us and IVF there may never have been one. Anyway, we are going to another information evening with a different local authority to see what they are like and then will apply to both and see if either or both will initially take us on. Fingers crossed xx

 

[schoolteacher]

Hi fluffy! Glad it went well not surprised it was overwhelming! That's interesting I didn't know you could apply 2 more than one authority. You will be an expert soon- I don't think I could put myself through more ivf again, so a second child for us if we decide we would like one would be through adoption which I would loveX

Lisa- congrats on pupo an for frosties! Especially the frosties I never got any- that's brill! X

 

[lisasimon]

thanks for all your positivity

and yeah thats what the embrioligest said was that she has high hopes for the ones we put back as they was in front on day 5 being early blasts and one of them was forming a cavity is what she said when we was transferring them

the frosties are 4BB

lets hope this is our time too xx

fluffy - good luck with the adoption

ST - if this works for me we will be going straight back for the frosties well thats what we say now lol

xx

i have read lots of stories about people having triplets lol from 2 early blasts there is lots of success i am just trying to keep myself busy xx

Hi All,

CJ - so sorry to hear it didn't work. You will get there one day.

Lisa - that's fantastic news

Fluffy - great to hear from you. I'm glad your first appointment went well. What you about to do is amazing!!

ST - Its nice to keep the gender a surprise, but we won't be able to wait I think!

Hope you are all ok and enjoying your Christmas shopping!!

Hello all, just dropping in to let you know i am now a mummy. Baby layla born 21 st november at 38 weeks.
horrific birth unfortunately as i developed sudden eclampsia ( after an otherwise healthy pg) so had 999 transfer with vision issues and seizures, my waters were popped in hospital and i was induced while they tried to stabilise me and then when safe i had an emergency c section. Was really on another planet for a couple of days, still sore and not quite right tbh ( memory and confusion problems) but overwhelmingly pleased and relieved to have a healthy daughter.

C&j- so sorry to read your fet result. X
St and chichi - hope all is well with you bumps?
Lisa- sounds like you've had a good cycle, when is otd?
Fluffy- lovely to hear how your adoption journey is going, i really admire your strength in continuing to move forward to have your LO

Hi Lisa,

I am still taking predisoline and now winding off, i will take my last tablet on tuesday. Initially hard them from the clinic but it was too expensive, so I had my GP write me a prescription which is free when you pregnant. As for the beta, I had one a day before OTD an it was 98. How are you feeling so far?
