Whew! I blinked and missed a whole bunch.

Afam - cannot wait for your ER update. Hope you're feeling okay.

Raz - good luck at your scan tomorrow.

Septbride - good luck tomorrow. We'll all be waiting for the update.

Kirst - I'm not sure how long the trigger stays in your system. I think someone posted it on my journal...I'll look through it for you.

Michelle -. How are you doing?

L4 - ER will be here before you know it.

Sandy, anxious - hey!

Hope I didn't miss anyone.

hiya friends!
Thanks for all the well wishes! The ER went very well and we ended up getting 6 eggs! WOO!!!
I was SO happy when we were told that, I would have danced if I wasn't so sore!

I am not feeling too bad though, been trying to rest and keep my feet up today. It was so much easier than any other surgeries I have had, it was a huge relief. we get the fertility report tomorrow! I'm so excited and nervous. how do you guys stand it??

so here are some presonals:

shout out to Sept- I'm so excited for you dear!!! best of luck tomorrow and let us know how it went as soon as you are feeling up to it!
fx dearest!

michelle- wowy! 12 eggs- amazing!!! how was your fertilization report?

Kc- sorry about beta getting pushed me, that must be making you crazy! can they maybe squeeze you in later??

snow- hey doll! hope you are well!!

Raz- good luck at scan!

Kirst, I think it is approx 10 days for the trigger, that is what I was always told. will you keep doing it or wait a few days? keep this one to compare it to!

Sandy - how was your appointment?

L4- yours will be here before you know it! sorry about the hot flashes- yuckers... I'll bet it gets better now that the dose is lowered.

anxiously- TOO funny that DH threw away the BBT. that's a scream. I was a slave to mine too. giving it up helped return some of my sanity.

did I miss anyone?? i hope not, I never mean to. and especially now I am still kind of groggy. love to you all!!! xx

 

[L4hope]

Afam so happy for your successful ER! What a pleasant surprise to get a couple more than expected! It is hard waitingbfor the fert reports but tomorrow is just around the corner. Rest up dear!

 

[michelle01]

Sept - Good luck tomorrow!!!

L4 - Yay for starting stims

Afam - Awesome gettimg six eggies can't wait to hear how they do.

Kirst - Best thing to do is test again in a couple days; the waiting part is so hard.

Raz - Good luck with your scan.

KC - Cannot wait for your beta

Snow, Sandy, Anx - hi girls, hope your doing good!

So I have 8 embies still going strong, so ET is Tuesday!

 

[kchope]

Afam- awesome news on 6 eggs! I'm so happy for you! Try to relax tonight.

Sept - wishing you all the best tomorrow for ER

Michelle - excellent news on your embies! Sounds like you will have a couple of perfect embies to put back! You relax too!

Xoxox to all

 

[Kirs_t]

Kchop - any news on the beta? How re you feelingh?

Whoo hoo! 6 is is fantastic afam! Hope you are feeling a bit better and resting up xx

Good luck Sept! Thinking of you too

Good luck for ET on Tuesday Michelle - I look forward to having you join me on the tww! I am sure you are not as insane as me

I tested again this morning and it was an even fainter positive... So im pretty sure its just the trigger leaving. My DH had confiscated all preggo tests until Friday- which is for the best I think! Back at work today - so have all my little girls to keep me busy!

Hi to all the other ladies - keep me updated with how you are all going xxx

 

[Anxiously]

Hi girls!

L4 - congrats for starting stims! Treat yourself to a piece of chocolate after each jab

Sept - how was the ER? Rest well and drink loads of water!

Raz - what did the doc say about those follies?

Kirst - I've read anything from 7-14 days for the trigger hcg to be cleared out of your system. It depends on your trigger dosage and the metabolism rate. I'm a pessimist where my own cycle is concerned and I'm still fighting against my own urge to POAS, as I'm not sure which is worse to bear - to see the line slowly fading as the days go by, or to just get bombed on beta day...

Michelle, Afam - I'm rooting for those super embies!

All other ladies, hope you're all doing well!

AFM, I just saw the endocrinologist to follow up on my hypothyroidism treatment and was elated to find that my numbers are now almost within normal range!!! It was twice over the upper limits a month ago. And the doc confirms that my IVF is now safe from any potential hindrance from the initial diagnosis! Now where are my chocolates...

Snow and Kchope - How you doing ladies?

Hope anyone i missed is doing well

AFM - Sorry if i confused some of you ladies but with time difference think it got confusing with when my appt was and WOO HOO its actually today eventually! Hopefully get to find out whether ill have FET before or after Xmas. Feel like its eventually moving forward. It's at 11:30am so probly have an update on before you US ladies log on. Fx'd xx

 

[Anxiously]

Sandy GL with the FET

 

[Sandy83]

Hi again ladies!

Well just got back from appointment, All good news slightly disappointed but still all good.

Could have started FET process tomorrow but due to the 2 week closure of the lab over xmas got to wait til my next AF, which should be within the next 2 weeks. On the good side once AF shows in December ive got my drugs today so can start straight away! Woo Hoo. So its looking like ill be doing FET beginning of Jan.

Another good point is I can transfer both Blastocysts if they survive the Thaw! Which is good news as could only transfer one blastocyst in fresh cycle due to the NHS trying to reduce multiple births.

I guess its good that im waiting til my next cycle as this one was crazy it was a week late and also lasted 11 days which is very unusal for me and hopefully my body will be back to normal or a normal as it can be after IVF.

 

[Anxiously]

Lol Sandy I posted just 4 min before you did! Bummer about the FET, but it's probably good that you have some time to get back your usual cycle. Perhaps take this month to start taking more protein, do some acupuncture, etc to gear up for the FET too!

 

[Sandy83]

Yeah thats what im thinking, i think at first i was dissapointed coz i just wanted to move on and get the next process started but wehn ive sat down and thought seriously about it, its not something you want to rush! It just wasnt meant to be hopefully it will be a good start to 2013 xx

 

[Afamilygal]

hi guys!

Sandy- I can see how that was disappointing but you sound like you have the perfect attitude to all this which is the best thing you can do for yourself at this point.

anxiously- congrats on the great news on your hypothyroidism! that's amazing news horray! you are going to be in tip top shape for all of this!!!

Kirs- probably wise to hide the sticks, its too tempting!!! But Friday isn't so far away now, so exciting!!!

michelle- ow 8 embies! that is amazing!!! congrats! and GL for tomorrow! (that makes it a a day 5 right? all wonderful news!!

hello and love to L4, Kc and snow! I hope you are all well?

afm, got the report this am and it looks like of the 6 only 4 were mature (which we basically knew anyways) and 2 of those fertilized.

I am so grateful that we got 2 but I am nervous that something will happen and they will stop growing... is that likely?? I guess I only need one good one but still, with only 2 I really want them to both be ok. grow my little darlings grow!!!

As long as they are both fine on Wed (day 3 transfer) then I suspect we will put them both back, this is such a roller coaster isn't it???

I'm still a little sore today but not too bad. I never took any of the heavy duty pain killers which was nice that it never got that bad. yay!

 

[Kirs_t]

Sending lots of love to you and the lil embies Afam xxx Keep us posted.

HI everyone! Will write more later xxx

 

[missnicole]

Hi ladies!

Sorry, I have been out with the holiday and it was busy one. I am glad to hear that everyone is doing well.

A family gal - glad to hear that two eggs fertilized. I was super sad when they only got 4 eggs from me, but at least 3 fertilized. They put a blast and a morula back in me. The last one didn't make it to freezing!

I had my second beta @ 10dp5dt and it was 396. Pretty good from my first beta at 7dp5dt which 78.42. I am going to have another beta tomorrow. Even though usually they stop checking if it doubles, but I need to have my TSH checked, so they're going to check it again. I don't really have any symptoms, but it's early. Although, the last two nights I have woken up at 4 am to use the bathroom and I almost never wake up at night.

Talk to you all soon!

 

[Razcox]

Afam - Great news about the two and will be keeping everything crossed that they do really well over the next day and grow, grow, grow xx.

Sandy - Sounds like you have gotten it all sorted and love the PMA x

AFM - EC yesterday and 8 eggs collected, waiting to hear the report today about fertilization . . .

 

[Anxiously]

Raz, 8 eggs! Fx'd for a great fertilization!

So I'm 8dp3dt, am thinking of doing a hpt this Fri i.e. 11dp3dt. Do you girls think that's still too early?

 

[Razcox]

Just had the call and 7 were suitable for injection, all 7 of those have fertilized Going for testing on thursday and fingers crossed et on Friday!!

Anxiously - I dont think it would be too early to test, its early enough that if its a bfn I wouldnt be worried though if that makes sense . .

 

[Sandy83]

8 eggs thats great news Raz, cant wait to see your fert report! Woo Hoo

Anx - From what ive seen 11dp3dt should be ok to test as beta can be taken from 14 days from EC to get offical confirmation. xx

 

[Sandy83]

Raz - was writing my post as you had posted. Thats a great report Fx'd for friday xx
