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

[Mrs. T]

So I got my fertilization report. 11 out of the 12 were mature and only 3 fertilized. I am really trying to stay positive.

 

[Disneyfan88]

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

That's great news on the fertilization! I hope that they all continue to grow and develop normally! I had very minor bleeding after my retrieval, but I didn't spot enough for any blood to make it to the pad that I wore afterwards. The bleeding stopped after a few hours. The bleeding was only slightly heavier the first time around with the spotting stopping the next day. I hope yours ends soon.

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

Happy early birthday!! Congrats on being PUPO! Remember to take it easy these next few days.

Mrs. T -- I'm sure that your 3 embryos will do great. I'm sending them positive vibes so that they continue to progress nicely. Remember, it only takes one.

I still have a huge pressure feeling in my abdomen. It's especially noticeable when i get up to walk around or if I pee. I think I'll ask my doctor about it when she calls with an update this morning. I'm sure it's normal, but I'm curious if I can do anything to help it go away faster. In the mean time, I am continuing to drink a lot of water with electrolytes (which means frequent trips to the bathroom lol).

Disney dear, the pressure you describe apparently quite expected as the ovaries are inflated and punctured. But after couple of days you start feeling better. When is your ET?

Serenyx...great fertilization report, take good rest doll. EC is painful for everyone says my docter. Regarding bleeding, yes it is quite common the first day of the EC. But it goes away the next day. The docter should have given you progesterone to start the evening of EC, that should help stop the bleeding I think.

Thanks! I thought that's as the case, but it's nice to know that it's normal. I don't remember it being like this after my first retrieval.

My transfer won't be happening until October 10. We are doing genetic testing this time around, and the results won't come back before day 5. Our last IVF cycle failed with a 5 day transfer of two blasts (5AA and 4AA), so I'm hoping that we'll be successful with the FET. The wait is going to be excruciating, though!!

How are you feeling today?

 

[sunshine8]

Mrs T, it only takes one , so don't be too hard on yourself. Hugs. Sorry I missed the info when is ET?

Bizzibii, many happy returns of the day girl and hope this birthday year brings you all the joy you have dreamt about. Hugs my PUPO-hood buddy.

 

[Mrs. T]

So far a 5dt is planned for Wednesday.

October will be here soon honey, best to get all things right. I am doing alright, although I often feel little dizzy and tired. It could be that I have been mostly home all this week and inactivity can cause this fatigue. Will go back o work on Monday. I often worry of the outcome , how will I handle a negative and then I have to cope with work pressure etc. Hope things turn out well for all of us We have gone through a lot.

Take care lovely and big hugs

Rest up so that you can go into your ET as relaxed as possible.

Try to keep your mind busy and off of it. I know that's it's hard, though. I'm praying for a positive outcome for all of us!

My doctor gave me a day 2 update. All 6 embryos have made it to 4 cells. 4 are grade 1, and 2 are grade 2. Next update comes tomorrow, and then I will get one more update on day 5. The biopsy will be done on day 5 before they are frozen. I'm still scared of unfreezing our 2 on ice, doing the biopsy on them, and then freezing them again, but I'm trusting my doctor's confidence in it.

Hello All,

Joined a few months ago,but thought Id wait till we were about to begin before I posted.
We had our drug appointment last week, and I tried my first injection with an empty needle, Glad I had a go as was building it up to be a lot worse in my head. Were now Just waiting for AF to arrive then got to ring The Hewitt Centre (LWH) to let them know CD1 so they can book me in for baseline scan and then can start stimming. AF is due around 8th september
Were having ICSI short Protocol

Me and Hubby are both 26, TTC for 5 years now. I have severe PCOS and hubby has slight motility issues, which is why were having ICSI.

Good Luck to Everyone

Hiya Becky, Im in LWH too, went for drug app yesterday, not too bad when you get a practice first, its a bit daunting when all those meds turn up!
Im 26, hubby 28, start down reg on sun and baseline scan is on 19th, so think we'll be around same time! Not long now!!! xxx

Hiya Hana

It's soo daunting when they arrive, I first looked at the Green Needles and thought oh wow they are big... Until I realised they were the mixing one's... Breathed a sigh of relief when I saw the Yellow ones
It all feels so real now Iv tried the first one and not building it up in my head.
Should be starting it around the same time! AF is due in around a week ish.
Nice to find a IVF Buddy
You start down reg tomorrow.... How exciting..

xx

Hi everyone! Just checking in...still waiting for a match. I'm thinking about giving them a call, or an email, to get an update? I don't know how long it should take, and I'm itching to get going!

Chloe, we're really similar. I'm also 22 with pcos...we're about to start ivf (possibly with icsi), as soon as I have a match for me to share my eggs. I also saw on another thread that you said your amh was really high...mine is as well it just means that you will probably be put on a low dose of drugs, to try and limit your risk of over-responding...this is what my consultant has said I am doing where are you doing ivf, if you don't mind me asking?

Sorry to sound thick but what is sharing eggs? I'm at the countess in Chester having treatment there and in Liverpool women's hospital!

Just come off northisterone and waiting for af, I have my baseline scan on Tuesday and start my injections all very scary!

Which hospital you at?

[ChloeNicolle]

Adroplet - yay for 18 embies. Grow embies grow

Chloe - dates can change depending on your body's response and your protocol.

Bizzibii congrats on being PUPO.

Ababy yeah. That will be so nice

Oh god that will be a pain due to time off work! Xx

 

[Disneyfan88]

I'm taking Tylenol and am to let my doctor know if it gets worse.

Thanks!

I'm down to 99.4. Normal body temp in Fahrenheit is 98.6, so almost back to normal. I am feeling better, which is a good sign. Still waiting for the pressure in my belly to subside, though.

I'm also egg sharing, we donate half our eggs in return for free treatment privately.

I also have PCOS and AMH of 52 and was started on lowest dose although I have now ended up stimming for longer than a normal person.

And the EC date moving is pain I'm the butt. I booked holiday from work but have had to move it now as they put my date back. Just glad my work is understanding.

AFM; another scan tomorrow. Stomach feels bigger, hopefully follies are and I can trigger!!

 

[bunyhuny]

I was out and about yesterday, so will need to catch up on all the recent posts. It was so nice to get out of the house. DH and I went to see a movie to celebratae his birthday, which was on Friday. Also, I gave in yesterday and gave in to my daily POAS addiction. I just can't help myself! So far BFN's, but RE said that nothing is certain until 10dp5dt, and that will only be if I can get a blood test then. Today is only 6dp5dt, so there is definitely still time for it to change to a BFP. I am keeping my FX'd.

[sammy1987xxx]

Hi guys just thought I'd update u and give u some positives for any up coming egg collections.
19 follicles on pre scan. 9 big at last scan
Egg collection got 4 eggs!
All 4 were mature but only two fertilised.
These two made it to day 3 one is now nestling in my tummy the other is being cultured to day 5/6 to freeze if its still ok.
The one inside is a almost perfect 8 cell so happy to be PUPO.
Good luck everyone.
Even few eggs can survive and if its ur baby it will survive no matter how many eggies u get.
Xxxxx
