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

[Izabela]

Our cycle has been cancelled ET was scheduled for today but due to me developing OHSS I had to have a scan first. My OHSS had got worse (my ovaries are larger than they were on Monday and I have more free fluid) so they decided to cancel the cycle

I'm upset about this as you can imagine. We have 2 embryos which have reached the extended blastocyst stage which they will freeze and another 2 they will check again tonight to see if they can be frozen (normal blasts not extended so may not be suitable for freezing). The other 3 didn't make it to blast stage.

I'm not hopeful for a frozen cycle though as the results at the clinic I am using are a lot lower than fresh (47% success rate for fresh and only 18% success rate for frozen ).

I'm now on Cabergoline and Buserelin to try and control the OHSS.

So sorry to hear. I feel you pain had mine canceled due to early ovulation and the lining was affected by the increase in progesterone.
But you have 2 great last frozen and maybe 2 more. Why your clinic results between frozen and fresh are so different. If you don't mind me asking what clinic do you use.

Well girls, transfer was great and I am officially PUPO!!! RE transferred two strong good quality embies (1 grade 4 which is the best and 1 grade 3) aaaannnd the one I was told had arrested on Monday did keep developing and is now a morula and if keeps developing overnight they are gonna freeze it! Wow! I was having panic attacks all morning thinking the clinic was gonna call and say they had all arrested but I ended up with more than I even thought I had left. RE said that the two he transferred look better quality than he usually sees. I am so happy!

Hey buddy doing okay, getting anxious. Should get my shipment of meds tomorrow and still on track for starting stimms on Saturday. Tonight is last night of BCP and that makes me I hate the stuff, makes me

How are you doing? Getting anxious too?

 

[Serenyx]

Thanks all - i'm still pretty upset but not much I can do about it. I have another scan on Friday to see if the OHSS is improving.

Well I had EC today, I got 12 eggs. 6 for me, 6 for my recipient who I'm donating to so happy with that!

Great news!

I had the same exact thing happened to me this cycle. I feel like crap still, I don't know what 'normal' feels like anymore.
The cabergoline helps. I take it at night and I feel a tad bit better in the morning. I hope you feel better.

I'm sorry to hear you had the same As far as I am aware, as long as I respond to the meds, they will go straight into a frozen cycle as soon as I have had AF. I must admit I was a bit upset earlier to ask too many questions. I have been on Cabergoline for a week already (since I triggered) in order to try and prevent OHSS - but it obviously didn't prevent it I did have an oestradiol level of over 10K prior to trigger though.

So sorry to hear. I feel you pain had mine canceled due to early ovulation and the lining was affected by the increase in progesterone.
But you have 2 great last frozen and maybe 2 more. Why your clinic results between frozen and fresh are so different. If you don't mind me asking what clinic do you use.

Oh that's a shame! How did you manage to ovulate early? Were you not on drugs preventing ovulation?

I don't mind at all - they are called Surrey IVF and are based at the Woking Nuffield Hospital. It is a private clinic but our PCT outsource their IVF treatment to them. Statistically they have one of the best success rates in the South-East, so i'm not sure why their results for frozen are so low I have an appointment with our consultant booked for a couple of weeks time so I will ask him then. I know that often frozen cycles are a fair bit lower because the best eggs were put back during the fresh cycle and also that others don't survive the freeze/thaw or they are damaged in the process. However their results for the age bracket above mine (37-39) which you would expect to be lower are actually a fair bit higher

Hi ladies,
Whew things have been moving fast!

Buny! YAY!! Im keeping you in my thoughts for that line to get darker and darker
Mrs T. Congrats on being PUPO! Way to go!
Sammy - Congrats on being PUPO

We have had a very intensive last week with bloodwork and tests all weekend and through today. I was supposed to do EC today, but over the weekend, they were saying it would be sat or sunday. I can't believe how long the last 10 days have felt - just taking forever. Im so bruised from the injections and just a bit of a mess!

When I saw my RE yesterday she said probably Sat or Sunday for EC. We also decided that we would move from the EC right into another cycle and freeze the little guys. We have decided to do this because we want to do PGD (we're already doing ICSI) to make sure that the embies are good quality. Since I only have the liklihood of 6 follicles, we think we will do another cycle and then test all at once (it is 5K each time, and quantity does not matter, so testing more at once will be a cost effective way to increase the little guys we select from). We are hoping this is going to give us the most options. We so want our little one, and soon!

I'm a bit looped at the idea of going for another cycle right away (how long do you wait to start meds again?) but know I can do it, and hopefully will not kill my DH or self in process.

Just (just now!) got email that EC will be Friday, so one more night of meds, and then trigger tonight. Tomorrow im going to just chill (well I have to work a bit but then that is all)! Start doxy tomorrow. Wish me luck ladies.

Henna

Hello,
We have one BFP on this thread and more we are expecting this and next week!
Good luck to Everyone who is EC, ET and is in TWW. IVF can be so stressful.
I advice you to check out this meditation video made by the fertility clinic in New York.
I just meditated. After breathing exercises I felt soo relaxed

[nlk]

congrats for being PUPO, Mrs T and sammy! Hope you get your sticky beans!!

Good luck with EC, henna! It sounds like you're doing the right thing, with doing another cycle to give yourself the best eggs

dovkav, that video looks great. I am going to be attending a meditation group next week, I'm excited!

good luck with stimming sekky! Hope all goes well

GL with testing tomorrow sunshine! Can't wait for your update

Phew! Sorry to anyone I've missed...I struggle to keep up with this thread everyone is in completely different places in their cycle! But it looks as though we could have a lot of bfps in here soon!

I'm waiting on AF now, ready to start DR next Wednesday! I'm going to be DR for a while, though, because the clinic didn't realise my recipient had a holiday book so I've been pushed back into October now. Just want to get started with everything!

 

[Mrs. T]

Sorry you have to wait longer nlk.
