IVF/FET in Aug'13' - Aug'14' buddies wanted!!*13 BFP's!!**Updates on first page**

[bundlesofjoy]

Thanks plex and buny yes I am feeling a lot better now thankfully I was in so much pain last week.
Alliko and mrs t i thought the The estrogial has to do with how many eggs you have over quality, as my levels were 27000 and I had 36 follicles. At my clinic the limit was 15000 to go ahead with ET and I was told the values double each day so alliko if your levels continue to double that would put you right on the limit by sat.

Good luck with scans and er everyone! xx

Mrs. T- Oh, hun, that has to be so hard. Hopefully your numbers will start going right back up and everything will be just fine. I am thinking lots of good thoughts for you.

TeeinAZ- We had our transfer today! I posted an update on it back on page 69 of this thread, complete with a picture of our blastocyst!

sammy1987xxx- Get some sleep girl~ Your body deserves it!

bundlesofjoy- So glad you're feeling better now. I bet that was scary having to go to the hospital.

 

[TeeinAZ]

sunshine- My clinic told me anywhere in the abdominal area is fine. I think they suggest staying away from the belly button because there is a vein that runs through there that they don't want you to hit. As long as you got it in fat and not a vein or muscle it's totally fine. I hope your ER goes smoothly tomorrow!

*UPDATE*

Home now. They transferred one 3AA blastocyst and are going to freeze a 3AB blastocyst. The third one is looking kinda not so good this afternoon at 3CD-ish, so they're going to let it try to grow another day and see what happens. If it improves they'll freeze it, if not then they won't.

I finally got a chance to talk with the doctor in charge of the clinic. He was insanely nice. And he really set our doctor stright bout what is and is not okay! From here on out, our doctor will not mention ICSI at all, and will be informing the embryologist that it is out of the question. I think the head RE really listened to us. If something goes wrong with a SA in the future, eggs will be frozen to fertilize later. He also let us go last today so that DH was allowed to go into the transfer with me, which is usually against clinic policy. (DH got to wear scrubs and it was totally cute!) The head RE even did the transfer himself and he did a wonderful job.

When we talked to the assistant embryologist today at our transfer, she said we needed to go down and pay for the vitrification process so they could do the freeze. So we went down to reception to pay and found out that we only had to pay $150 instead of $800! It looks like they took away the charges for the prolonged cultivation and daily monitoring and put that money towards our freezing. Also, we're not being charged for ICSI. I feel a lot better about that.

Oh! And we even got a pic of our blastocyst:

OMG YAY!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I am so happy for you! I am praying for your BFP!! It will happen!!!

I am still getting used to the boards. Last time I was here was back in March. I am so happy for you!!!

Izabela - If you'd get ur next cycle free then its certainly worth considering donating them all, then next time they'll all be for you and you'd prob be able to have some snowbabies. My nurse told me that we were not as likely to get any embies to that point on egg share so not to get our hopes up Also she told me that if this cycle doesnt work we'd have to wait 2 months before trying again - dont know if its different in other places? Its such a long wait if it doesnt work tho
Im not sure how much the meds wud be for a fresh cycle (egg share meds r free) but to do a FET it will cost 110 meds and 875 FET so not bad at all
We had one cycle of clomid to concieve our son back in 2010 (we were VERY lucky considering what we're going through now) and that was our 'go' on the NHS so now we'd have to pay full whack.
Gosh u've spent SO MUCH on ur treatment, do you think u cud afford to do another private in the future? xxx

Plex how lovely you have a son and you looking for a sibling it must be hard for you to fit all the appointments, and caring for your son while attending them. Childcare costs must be high as well.
We have some savings - no holidays in 3 years , no redecorating the house. We thought now that we moved on to sperm donor would be easier but still .. Yes I will probably donate them all and get my free go as we would have more chances than and the other lady. The wait is a pain I hope to be able to start in October the consultant thinks antagonist cycle to prevent early ovulation.

Not long until you start.

Thanks hunny! Don't feel bad for missing it- this thread moves so fast!!

 

[TeeinAZ]

Just got the call.

Estrogen is at 3,569 and I have my scan tomorrow morning at 8:30 and will be taking my trigger tomorrow evening.

I can't believe it!!!!!!!!!!

 

[Izabela]

. The thing is my EC and hopefully ER is in another city, they don't do it where we live. But for everything else like blood work we have to do it locally. So there is a lot to coordinate. So I will just leave it- just hoping we did all ok.
I go for my EC tomorrow morning its a one and half hour drive. so we will have to get up really early. we got to be there at 7:30 morning. So scared and nervous. You know at every step I have had so much of worry. I really hope all goes well tomorrow.

Sunshine good luck tomorrow. I have egg collection at the same time and probably driving at the same time.

 

[Izabela]

I am back to them threatening to cancel again! Folicle count went from 23 yesterday to 37 today but my estrogen only went from 3233 yesterday to 3280 today. Not as big of an increase as they hoped. They are worried it may drop and if my blood test doesn't come back satisfactory tomorrow than they will cancel. I feel like I am teetering on the edge of insanity with every U/S and B/W. I am so ready to do this. It is so frustrating.

Mrs T it is still time to go up. Mine dropped from 4600 to 3600 on day 7 but on day 9 went up to 7800. Unfortunately my dropped is related to early ovulation lost about 5. Only have 8 big and 6 small. The consultant said are big and good quality but I can not have a fresh transfer so I probably have to donate them all. You have such a large number of folies they just need to tailor you meds and get them all big soon.
Good look at you next test and scan. X

 

[Izabela]

Didn't go as well as I wanted.

Biggest follie is 6.1, she said there are lots of small ones so hard to count. When I asked her how many she said 8/9/10. Ergh.

They're upping my dose, I go back Wednesday. They said there won't be much difference by then but they have to keep an eye on me?

Not feeling very happy or positive at all.

My dose has only been increased to 150? Which is still a very low dose.

I need at least 10 follies for them to do an egg collection and it abandon the cycle, I need 8 or more eggs to share or I have to give them all away?

Sigh.

Good look on Wednesday 4Magiepie hope they will upright your doss age end you folies would grow. Know a girl got 8 shared and she is pregnant. It only takes one.

 

[Izabela]

Hey everyone so much has happened here.
I was admitted to hospital for ohss last week tue was released today.
Mrs t sorry to hear about your levels fingers crossed they increase

That must been so painful. What stage are you in you cycle. Have you had egg retrieval. Sorry the thread moves so fast. Best luck

 

[bunyhuny]

TeeinAZ- Woohoooooo!!!!

 

[Disneyfan88]

I went for my scan this morning. Looks like we are now watching 5 follicles with possibly a 6th. I have 4 others that are ranging from 6-7.5, so they are too small to count on. I'd be lying if I said I wasn't a little disappointed about that.

My estradiol is 1024 today -- seems to be rising slower than it did my last cycle (when I got 5 eggs collected). I hope that's ok. It did increase from 466 on Friday. I will now be triggering tomorrow with my ER happening on Thursday morning. I won't find out the time until tomorrow.


bunyhuny: Great news! I'm glad that the clinic took care of you. Prayers that your embryo sticks!!

Morning all. I think I posted on here a few weeks ago, but wasn't subscribed so I lost the thread.

I am officially moving foward and my retreival is set for this Thursday! I am so excited! I am hoping to have a great retreival!!! I just had to share!

So that means that I will be transfering the very first week of September! Anyone else?

My retrieval will be Thursday, too. Good luck with yours!!

AFM AF just showed. So no more risk of inducing it. September 5 is still stimm day

Just about the only time we wish for AF, right?

I am back to them threatening to cancel again! Folicle count went from 23 yesterday to 37 today but my estrogen only went from 3233 yesterday to 3280 today. Not as big of an increase as they hoped.

Sorry, Mrs. T. Fingers crossed that it all works out for you.

 

[bundlesofjoy]

Bunny hunny and izabela yeah it was really scary, I put on 8pounds in water weight in a week and had fluid on my lungs.
