"impatiently waiting and complaining" IVF November/December/end of the year bumps

[Afamilygal]

Hiya ladies! Sounds like there is some very encouraging news to come!
Well! Transfer went well and I now have both of my little embryos hopefully snuggling away in there! It was so... Peaceful and cool. I really thought the whole thing was kind of awesome.
Exciting stuff!!! I'm currently taking it very easy! love to you all

 

[Anxiously]

Afam, good job! Will be thinking of you and those 2 precious embies! Take a section of pineapple core a day for the next 5 days if you can.

 

[L4hope]

Laine so glad to hear your transfer went well!! And both embies are on their way to bury in your uterus and stay put!! Relax and stay off your feet!

 

[L4hope]

Anx the POAS can drive you crazy right?! It's so hard not to, but then if it's not positive you try to figure out what your chances are. Hopefully tomorrow morning you will get a nice second line!!

 

[michelle01]

Kirs - YAY for a darker line Hope it continues to get darker for you!

Anx - Maybe try a FRER; I have the IC's too and sometimes it is hard to distinguish if it is a line or an evap line.

Afam - YAY for transferring both embies...STICK, STICK, STICK Welcome to the 2ww!

Hope everyone else is doing good!

 

[septbride]

Anxious, good luck with the POAS!

Afam, congrats on your two embies snuggling in!!

L4, how did the scan go?

Kirst, WOW!! This seems very promising! Keeping my fingers crossed for you, love.

Sandy, how you doing?

Snow, how bout you?

AFM, I have my transfer scheduled for this afternoon but am waiting on the call to see if they might push me out to a 5dt. Hoping our six embies are still growing and dividing over there. Will keep you posted!

to all!

 

[michelle01]

Sept - GOOD LUCK How many are you planning to transfer?

 

[Charleymc]

Hi girls can I join you? We just had embryo transfer today.
I had 6 eggs, 3 didn't fertilize and 2 didn't make it to a 4 cell, so we are just left with 1 little embie surviver. They did the transfer at day 2 and it was a healthy looking 4 cell they never said what grade. I'm trying to stay positive but its so hard. I did acupuncture today and i'm in bed resting.
Anyone know of the success rate for a 1 embryo transfer?

Hi Laides

Welcome Charley Like everyone always says its quality over Quantity! Fx'd for you

Afam - Congrats on ET and Good luck with 2ww

Kirs_t - Fx'd for you

Michelle, L4, Kchope, snow - Hope you are all doing well?

Sept - Fx'd you get to 5dt keep us updated

Sorry if ive missed anyone out!

AFM - Nothing to report just waiting for to show so i can ring the clinic to see when i can start meds. Been looking into Acupunture any advice from you ladies? Ive heard good reports from doing it with a fresh cycle to improve egg quality, does anyone know if it helps on FET also and when i best to start am i too late to look into it? xx

 

[michelle01]

Hi Charley! I think you have just as good a chance as anyone else Stay positive and rest up! Welcome to the 2ww. I had my ET on Tuesday, so I am now 2dp5dt and the waiting just sucks!

Sandy - I did acu this cycle; I think it helped me out a lot so far. I had more follicles then I ever had previously, I had more eggs collected and both better quality then the previous 2 cycles. The day of ET he did acu before and after my transfer. I think you can start as soon as you want; I heard it is better to go a few months prior to a cycle, but I started about 4 weeks before mine and only went once a week due to the cost. Good luck and hope AF shows soon

 

[septbride]

Charley, welcome and good luck! That one embie has as good a chance as any!

Sandy, I swear by acupuncture for stress management/relaxation during the cycle. I do think there is evidence that it increases success rates too. I'm so glad I started doing it, it's been a godsend.

AFM, just got the call, doing a 3dt this afternoon. Hope the embies are OK...

Hi ladies!

So, I must have accidentally unsubscribed when I was looking at BnB on my phone .. that always happens to me I feel so dumb!

Well, I went for my beta weeks ago ... I think that's where I left off with you guys and it was negative. My doctor called soon after the nurse and was just as upset about it as I was ... he really thought it was going to work since everything went "textbook" perfect. I have my consult with him on Monday and I have a huge list of questions to ask him. He briefly said when he called on beta day that we're most likely going to be trying ICSI (even though we have no sperm problems) just so we can get a better fertilization rate and then AH since he's starting to think it's a hatching problem with the embryo or a uterine lining problem ...

If you go over to my journal I've posted all of my questions if you're interested and also if you have anything to add that maybe I forgot.

Wow, I really can't catch up with all of you right now becuase I missed like 10-15 pages! A lot has been happening but I did notice that some of you got your BFP's so congratulations! For those of you who are getting ready for ER good luck, I hope you get lots of eggies! For those in the TWW, good luck, try to stay calm and patient and I'm rooting for you all!

 

[L4hope]

Welcome Charley! Hoping your one embie is all you need for your bfp!

Hey Sandy! Cmon AF so you can start your FET. I haven't done accu yet but it does seem to have helped a lot of women on here. I just need a little more money or IVF to be a little cheaper!! Lol

Hope your transfer goes well today Sept!! Let us know how you make out

Ash, good to see you again! Sorry you got ousted from the thread, I hate when that happens!! Again sorry for your bfn. Sounds like you are prepared for your WTF meeting and that your doctor is trying to figure out what may have gone wrong. It's very hard to experience a bfn with IVF but hopefully it gives the doctors more answers to get a better response for next time.

Kirs anxiouu awaiting your beta!

Michelle and Afam hope you are resting and trying not to go too crazy during the tww!!

Snow, glad to hear Zumba helped to get your head right! I did the same thing yesterday with running and yoga. Unfortunately I'll have to stop running in the next couple days. Any of you who do yoga, did you do it during the tww?

Everyone else I may have missed hello and bfp wishes!!

 

[L4hope]

Oh and afm, I have my ultrasound tomorrow morning. Will report tomorrow with number of follies and hopefully my ER date! Ta ta for now girls!

 

[Anxiously]

Tested this morning and saw faint lines on both ICs. But CB Digital says "Not Pregnant". Was I imagining those lines? This is so frustrating! Going for Round 3 tomorrow at 12dp2dt.

Someone once told me that the digitals aren't as good as the FRER. I see two lines when I look. Fx'd.

 

[Kirs_t]

How is the TWW going for those who are in it?

Anx -Any more news on the poas? I can defn see lines in your pics! I hope they get darker soon xxx

L4 - hope your scan goes well today! Looking forward to hearing where you're at

Sept- Transfer day! yippee Hope it goes well xxx

I have moved my beta to monday - so only have to wait the weekend now. I am 8dp5dt and 13dpo - and the tests are getting much darker. I posted a pic. Feeling very cautiously optimistic.... Hurry up Monday!

 

[Snowbunny]

Ash -. Welcome back.

Charles - welcome!

Kirst - love the pic...looking good.

L4 - thanks lady. Good luck tomorrow.

Afam - how ya feeling!?

Sandy, Michelle, Kchope, Raz, anxious...I'm sure I'm missing someone! Hey!

Sorry, just have 5 mins to check in.

 

[Sandy83]

Morning Ladies!

Ash - So good to hear from you, been thinking about you. Good luck for Monday. I'm going to have a look at your questions on your journal as just had my WTF and starting FET meds hopefully end of december and ET mid to late Jan.

L4 - Good luck for Scan today

Anx - Good luck if you test today hope its gets darker!

Sept - Good luck for ER

Kirs_t - Great pics Good luck for Beta on monday

Snow - Hope to get an update from you when you have more time

Afam, michelle - Hope you are resting and 2ww isnt to hard on you

Kchope, Raz and the rest of you ladies Hope you are doing well xx

 

[michelle01]

kirs - That is a GREAT line I would be very optimistic too if I were you! Hurry Monday!!!

Anx - Digi's are not that great to use; they are less sensitive. I would get a FRER, those are better since I think they detect 12.5 versus the digi's that are over 50! Good luck

Hi Sandy, Kchope, Raz, L4, Snow and everyone else...HAPPY FRIDAY

Afam - How are you holding up?!

Hi Ash

Good luck today Sept!!!
