Just got the fertilization report. Out of 7 eggs collected, 6 were mature, and all 6 of those fertilized! We have 6 embryos to keep an eye on!

Last cycle, we had 5 eggs collected, and 4 of those fertilized and made it to day 5/6 blasts. Two of those are sitting on ice.

We get an update tomorrow morning. I think the PGS biopsy occurs on day 5.

 

[Mrs. T]

Quick update. 9 embryos growing!!! Possible transfer on Sunday!!!!

Oh thanks so great! Good luck!

Thanks!! We are doing genetic testing, so we have to do a FET as we'll have to wait for the results. We will be doing the transfer on October 10. The waits going to be torture!!

How are you feeling today?

 

[Mrs. T]

Hang in there for that wait!

I feel good thanks. The ER was torture but I feel good now. Just tired.

Be sure to take it easy. I'm still slightly sore from my ER yesterday, but I'm not so sore that I want to take anything for it. My belly has this strong pressure feeling inside that's not helping at all. It seems worse than what I felt after my first ER in July. DH has been waiting on me.

Best of luck for a great fertilization report!

We stuck with the basics (plus ICSI) the first time around. I've found that I'm more open to trying extra stuff that could increase our chances since we were unsuccessful last time (acupuncture, PGS, diet/supplements, etc...). The HCG infusion luckily isn't costing us anything -- I've reached my annual out-of-pocket max for medication coverage through my health insurance (though we will be paying for fertility-related procedure stuff since I've exhausted my $7,000 lifetime max on fertility-related expenses). My doctor is kindly placing it for free (I suppose since she'll already be in there doing my ET). I wish you the best of luck with your cycle!!

Wow, that is so nice that you get the HCG infusion for "free." It is just unfortunate that you had to pay out so much on other things in order to get it free! Ugh. Oh well! Small victories, right! Congrats on the ER! So glad it turned out better than you were expecting! Good luck with the PGS.

So glad things finally moved forward for you Mrs T!

Ababy - I start stims on the 7th too!! Well, as long as everything goes well at my appt and with my labs on the 6th. *Fingers crossed* for us both!!

Yay for being cycle buddies with Ababy, Sekky, and Chloe!!

Welcome Becki!

Congrats to all those who are newly PUPO and those who just went through ER!

 

[peachaeo]

These threads are so helpful....we start IVF in December and I'm so scared! Best of luck to you all

[Serenyx]

Just had a call from the nurse. Of the 9 eggs they collected 7 were mature and all 7 have fertilised normally. Keeping everything crossed now that they develop normally

We won't hear any more now until Monday. They will give us a call to let us know if we are going for a day 3 (Mon) or day 5 (Weds) transfer when they call Monday morning! They already have me booked in for a scan Monday afternoon to check I am OK to go ahead with any transfer or if we have to freeze all.

Still feeling a bit groggy from EC and still bleeding. Mentioned it to the nurse and she said to call back if it gets worse.

Did any of you have bleeding after EC? How long did it last for?

Thanks

Thats fantastic news ! Hope you can do the transfer this cycle.

I only had a minor spotting. I mean very very little and it was gone the same day but they did tell me I may be bleeding so I guess it is expected.
Keeping my fingers crossed for you .

Dear Ladies,

Me a PUPO now with one three day embryo transferred. Bizzibii, we became PUO the same day, how are you doing hun?

SUNSHINE -isn't that great ? we are exactly on the same schedule

I am feeling fine. My ET went well. I didn't have a day off in the end , because my ET was at 4pm and I work till 3 so I just took it easy , went home drank more water and cycled to the clinic. My hubby is away for work so I had few girlfriends over last night, we ate nachos and watched some tv.

How are you feeling ? I know its a strange questions, but can you feel your ovaries when you pee? I think my ones are still enlarged and its a weird feeling of pressure or something. Other than that I feel fine ( oh my boobs hurt ,).
How exciting

Bizzbiii, yes it is exciting to have a cycle buddy. Bunyhuny is nearly with us to.
Regarding the ovaries, both my ovaries feel sore still and especially when I pee, I can feel the pressure. I spoke to the Doc about it, apparently it is normal, as the ovaries will stay enlarge for quite sometimes, it has this yellow body called corpus letumn I think, which stays active until one get periods, but if pregnancy occurs it produces pregnancy hormones until the placenta develops and takes over that function. So its usual to feel sore as we have many follies turning into corpus letunem.

Are you at work today. I am at home, just taking it easy this week. Do you know of any dos and don't for PUPO?


Sunshine- Thanks for the info. My doctors are not very informative when it comes to answering any questions. I will be taking it easy however I won't be obsessing . I don't won't t spend the 2WW thinking whether I drank enough of pineapple juice or not etc. I am tired but for some reason I wake up really early ( it started just after ET, maybe its just me being nervous or something ) . I think I will just take the approach as If I am already pregnant ( which in some way I guess I am ) , so I will be looking after myself but continue with my daily activities.

Its so hard to follow this thread.
Good luck to all the ladies starting, triggering, having their ER's or ET's and of course to those in their 2WW.

It is my birthday tomorrow. I am turning 30 so I will try and enjoy my birthday weekend.

 

[Mrs. T]

Serenyx, congrats on your fertilization report! I had a torturous EC but surprisingly no bleeding. Just a couple of very light brown streaks on the toilet paper. From how the EC went I thought I would be bleeding for sure. Just monitor it and let them know if it gets heavier. Rest up.

bizzibii, congrats on being PUPO! Happy early Birthday!!!

 

[adroplet]

Well, the office called yesterday and apparently I have fluid build up in my ovaries since the ER. I need to go back in for another US and BW on Sunday, if fluid is less or gone then my ET is Monday. So I have a pending ET date right down to the last second.

I'm trying not to stress out here but this is torture.

 

[Mrs. T]

Sorry adroplet! Hang in there. I hope it goes away by tomorrow!
