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

[Mrs. T]

Welcome JessicaG121! Keep us posted on all your progresses.

 

[Disneyfan88]

Thanks, Serenyx! I hope you get some good news soon!

Isn't is great how our husbands feel that they can laugh at the lengths we are willing to go to to get what we want. Hopefully the progesterone works out well. I'm sure your lining is great.

I'm not on progesterone yet since my transfer is over a month away. I go back on Crinone (vaginal gel) in a couple of weeks. Not a fan of Crinone, but it gets me out of PIO shots.

Thanks

Oh I know he doesn't mean any harm by it He's been pretty good about taking the supplements I bought etc however yes, the lengths we go to are amazing I never thought I would be able to inject myself but that wasn't too bad either

The gel sounds like a good alternative!

I like to tease DH that his contribution to this process is the easy part, but he really is incredibly sweet, supportive, and willing to help in any way that he can.

You're right, I never thought that I wuld be able to inject myself either, but it's totally worth it if this works!

I hope the bleeding ends soon.

Hi ladies!

Can I join up? I just got my calendar, though don't know about meds yet. My RE will call Tuesday. I start Stims Sep 14, egg collection Sep 28, give or take and do the transfer on Nov 12.

My RE is doing a clinical trial (which saves us $$) freezing all fertilized eggs and only transferring after they've been frozen. It means more waiting, but what's another month after all this time? The success rate is also much higher, so hopefully we just have to do this once!

I'm 33 and healthy, hubby has a good SA. But, I had a TL when I was 27-- mistake. The reversal wasn't particularly successful. IVF is our only option.

Hi Jessica. I'm doing a frozen transfer, too. That's great that you are able to save money on your cycle.

 

[Prayerful]

Happy birthday Bizzi!!

Hang in there Mrs T. Remember, it is quality over quantity. Keeping my fingers crossed that they will continue to progress well!

Great fertilization update Disney! Those little embies are going strong! I hope you feel better soon.

Congrats on being PUPO Sammy!

Welcome Jessica. Good luck!!

We got our !!!!!! It is SUPER faint, but it is definitely there. (DH upped the contrast on the image below so everyone can see our wonderful second line!)

Details: Today is 7dp5dt. I took a test at 5a and didn't see a line immediately so I put it off to the side. 45 minutes later, I decided to look at it again and saw a VERY faint, pink second line. DH and I couldn't figure out if it was an evap or a real line, so I went ahead and did another test. This time we checked it at 5 minutes (the latest the instructions say to read it) and again there was a very faint second line. So definitely an early . We're just so amazed and totally blown away right now!

 

[bunyhuny]

Jessica- Welcome, hunny! Lots of luck to you.

Bunny - There is still time to get your BFP, are you testing with FRER's? Where abouts in Czech are you , if you don't mind me asking ?

We are in Prague. They don't sell FRER's here, just whatever the local thing is. But turns out they are sensitive enough!

Just got my day 3 embryo report. All 6 embryos are 8 cells. We have 4 grade 1 embryos and 2 grade 2 embryos. Out next report comes on biopsy day (day 5). They are also unfreezing our 2 frozen ones for the biopsy, and then everything will be frozen after.

Congrats on the great day 3 report.

 

[4magpies]

Oh congrats buny!!!

 

[Izabela]

Congrats!!! This is definitely positive. Yay first BFP on this site!

 

[Izabela]

I think will be following my natural cycle... So around the end of this month.
Finger cross for everybody. X

Congratulations bunyhuny!! I think I would be too scared to test and keep on wondering if it was hcg left in my system from the trigger

The embryologist just phoned with our day 3 update. All have divided but some better than others. Of the 7, only 4 are where they would expect them to be at this time (between 6 and 8 cells). One is a 10 cell embryo which she said is a bit fast but looks fine. Of the other two, they think one is a 10 cell but it is fragmenting so they don't think that one will make it and the other is a 3 cell which they think has stopped dividing.

Since they can't decide which is the best they have provisionally decided on a day 5 transfer depending on the outcome of my scan this afternoon (because I hyper stimulated they need to check I would be ok for a transfer).

They did warn me that none might make it to blast stage but that is a risk we will have to take

With my first cycle, we had four embryos. All four were where they should be on day 3, and all made it to day 5 blasts. I'm telling you this because I'm sure your embryos will do great. Nonetheless, I will still wish you the best of luck!

 

[bunyhuny]

Serenyx- I've read that blastocysts are up to twice as likely to implant, so that is great news!

 

[4magpies]

Hey girls. Scan went great. I'm ready to trigger!!

Had about 20 lead follies varying between 12 and 21. Hope the small ones catch up by EC on wed!!

[Rurin]

hey just realised I never updated in here, but just for your first page...

Sadly none of our eggs fertilised and we are out

Docs have no clue why as eggs and sperm looked good and been advised if we go again they will do ICSI next time.

I hope the rest of you do much better with many BFPs - not sure when our WTF appointment is, waiting for the nurse to ring - but if/when we cycle again, we've used up our nhs go so will be paying.

hugs to all

 

[4magpies]

Oh I'm so sorry. Did they just do straight IVF then?

xx

 

[Rurin]

yeah as there wasn't an obvious reason not to.

From endless googling (I swear there's not a link left on the internet with zero fertilisation that I've not clicked!) it seems in the States a fair few clinics don't even bother with IVF because this happens in 10-15% of IVFs!!

It's much much rarer with ICSI and have found quite a few stories of success 2nd time round with ICSI, but also a fair few of people on their 4,5,6th cycles having low fert and no joy.

All I can do is keep hoping I'll be one of the lucky ones. Thankfully in a way, we don't have tons of money so trying loads of cycles just not an option for us - so if the next one doesn't work, then we'll stop treatments and start looking at adoption. But we're a little way from that yet.

 

[Mrs. T]

bunyhuny that is awesome!!!

Rurin I am so sorry to hear honey.

 

[Allika]

Hi! Our clinic is an ICSI no matter what clinic. I asked about it and my Doctor explained exactly that scenario that with straight IVF sometimes none fertilize even though there is no male factor and that's why they ICSI everyone.

I had my retrieval Saturday. They retrieved 21 and 20!!!!! fertilized! Unfortunately my clinic doesn't provide info how they are doing until day 5 right before transfer! Trying to decide between transferring 1 or 2. We were set on 1 but doubts are starting to creep up!

 

[bizzibii]

BUNY - CONGRATS ! Hope the line get's darker and darker each day

Jessica - Welcome

Sunshine - I am feeling fine, the pressure in the abdomen stopped, which is great, my boobs are sore . I work in a pre-school and with my hormones all over the place I cried reading "The snail and the whale" to the kids today. it was quite funny ;-).I have been told to test 16 days after the ER which I think is the 10.09. I have however ordered a life time supply of Frer's ( well only 4 ) plus I think I have 4 at home so I might start early ... you know... To test the trigger out

Rurin- I am so so so sorry
