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

[Serenyx]

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

Great news!!

Sadly none of our eggs fertilised and we are out

So sorry to hear this I hope you do have another go with ICSI and that it works for you.

My scan this afternoon didn't go so great. Apparently I have developed moderate OHSS so they want me to take the rest of the week off work and relax. If there is no improvement by Wednesday then we won't be able to transfer

 

[JessicaG121]

Bunny- congratulations! I'm so excited for you!

Ruin- I'm sorry. my doc is also an ICSI or nothing clinic. The success rates are significantly higher. He's also trying to move to 100% FET because of increased success. ICSI+embryo scan+FET=80% success rates

 

[Mrs. T]

My clinic called and updated me on the status of my day 3 embies. There were three originally but one arrested overnight last night. I still have two and I think the nurse said they are nine cell and doing well. I don't know why I didn't get a 3dt since I only have a couple of them but I am doing a 5dt (Wednesday) which can't come fast enough.

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!

Many many congratulation bunyhuny, so happy for you. Gives all of us hope. Hugs

 

[sunshine8]

Rurin, so sorry darling, but keep your hope up, things will work out the next time Hugs.

Mrs. T, good luck with you EC on Wednesday. Keeping my FX that all goes smooth and well for you.

Bizzbii, I know the feeling , crying at the drop of hat. But glad that the pain for you has subsided. so will you be testing on 10 sep or before? I just feel so incredibly tired.

I have my Trigger tonight and my EC Thursday morning.

ANy of you ladies have "free fluid" in your scans toward the end of stims?

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.

Rurin really sorry to hear you story, but I think ICSI should work for you. I think I had the same problem as you. I had 9 eggs shared 4 and out of my 4 mature only 2 fertilized through IVF with sperm donor. I asked the clinic why since in previous 3 cycles with ICSI with my DH sperm (extracted from the testi - immature and low morphology, no mobility, not suitable for IVF) we had better fertilisation rate. Lister Hospital believes the egg shell is too taught as the sperm were not sticking around the eggs. They recommended ICSI in the future and was something they have not known before even I had lots of tests for egg donation. I was also led to believe that the person I donated to had a better fertilization report with ICSI.
Once you have some fertilized you should get your growing embie. My husband report showed that he had only one twitching sperm and we had an 7 weeks 3 day ectopic pregnancy with heart beat out of a 4BB blastocit. Unfortunately for us the changes to found a lucky sperm are so low we decided after 3 fresh and one frozen with low quality embys to cut the wait and pain and moved to donor.

Wish you also the luck with next cycle. X

 

[adroplet]

adroplet, any word?

My ET was cancelled.
Turns out I have OHSS and still have fluid in my ovaries. Also, my estrogen level tripled in 2 days. I still feel like crap. So we decided to freeze our embabies and wait till my next cycle and see if everything comes back to normal. Dr also said if we had gone thru with ET and It was successful, my OHSS would have gotten worse. We'd rather not risk it.
The good news is that he gave me a report this morning. Ready? We have 11 all grade A embabies. Even the Dr was surprised and joked I could keep producing them to sell -what a douche.
So we are happy about that. All will be frozen for when my body gets back to normal.

I hope everyone else here has better news.

 

[adroplet]

Buny - CONGRATULATIONS!!!!

 

[Mrs. T]

adroplet sorry to hear you have to wait now for ET and on your OHSS. Congrats on perfect embryos! Hope it all works out next cycle!

 

[Prayerful]

Congrats Buny!!!

Good luck Serenyx! I hope you start to feel better soon and that you are able to go ahead with the transfer.

Yay Magpies! Good luck with ER.

Rurin, I am so so sorry. I hope the doc is able to give you some answers and that you are able to do another attempt.

Congrats Allika! Those are great numbers.

Good luck Mrs T. Praying those embabies hang in there!

Adroplet, so sorry you have to wait on the transfer, but WOW! Those are some great embabies you've got there! I hope you continue to get better and will be able to do ET soon.

Can I join you guys? I have a son from IVF Jan 2012, now he is 10 months and I want to have another one. I am currently going through FET, it is much less involved than IVF but I know I will need support as this is a very emotional journey regardless. My current dilemma is whether to transfer 1 or 2 embryos. I have 1 hatching blast, and 2 early blasts. the 2 early blasts are frozen together so if I put in 1 blast and 1 early, I would have to thaw all 3. I think we will go with putting in just the single hatching blast. Any thoughts ladies?

Welcome! I don't know what grades the embryos are, but if it was me, I'm not sure that I'd want to unfreeze all 3 at once. I'd consider unfreezing the blast and transferring that, and saving the two early blasts that were frozen together for a second FET in the future. Just a though...

That said, when we do our FET next month, I plan on transferring two if the numbers make sense once we get our genetic test results back.

Good luck!

Hey Lucinda, when you planning to do a HTP?

I will start tom as my clinic as not planning on doing beta until 10dp5dt and then again at 12dp5dt and not giving me results until the 2nd beta. So this being IVF 3 for me I need to know something before beta. When will you start testing?
