[AshleyButters]

KJW- how many embryos are you transferring! Yay for tomorrow!!!!

 

[Kjw26]

We're transferring one! I went back and forth on transferring two. It's such a tough decision.

 

[koj518]

kjw - good luck tomorrow!!!!!!!!!!!!!

 

[dogmommy]

Kj good luck tomorrow! My beta is Monday!

Ashley I'm not sure when my clinic will do a scan. Maybe at 6 weeks.

Anyone with experience with wondfo tests? My test haven't changed in color the past two days. I don't think lighter or darker. Is that normal?

First was at 5dp5dt
Then last was today 8dp5dt

 

[star25]

Dogmommy I haven't got experience with them but umi think they look darker, especially as they're 24 hrs apart

 

[MrsHowley81]

KJW Good Luck for today hope you have a smooth transfer
Dogmymmy I agree with star they are getting slightly darker, it depends on the tests etc and it is still early, try every other day.

 

[star25]

Hope all goes well today kj

 

[JACKDOLL]

Kj good luck today xxx

Dogmummy I can see each test getting darker

 

[scoobybeans]

jackdoll- Thanks! Due date is 1/27

ash- Thank you! It was pretty amazing.

mrs. h- Thanks! How are you feeling? Have you tested again?

star- I had 2 days where I couldn't drink tea but that passed. It actually seems to settle my stomach now.

kj- Good luck on your transfer today!!!

dogmommy- I do see a progression there. I tested for a really long time so let me know if you want to see my pics. In the early days my tests were light like that and I didn't feel like I got great progression every day. I also tested way darker at night. I think you're fine hun!

AFM, I'm 7w6d today and my clinic is beginning to wean me off of the PIO shots. For the first time in FOREVER I didn't have a shot last night! I went in this morning for a blood test so they can see how much my levels dropped, and then we'll either keep going every other day or I'll stay on them for another week or so.

 

[AshleyButters]

KJ- Thinking of you today!!!! Relax and have DH wait on you hand and foot lol

So I misheard my nurse when she told me what the problem was with DH SA. I thought she said he had low motility, but she said nope, it his count and motility are fine, but he only has 3% morphology (shape of sperm). So now I am googling like a mad woman. I just hope they (obviously) pick the best looking sperm for ICSI.

I asked the nurse if this was the reason we haven't been able to conceive, since we were unexplained IF before. She said it is difficult to say if this was the reason we haven't been able to conceive. But hey thats all water under the bridge cuz this ish is really happening! LMFAO

 

[JACKDOLL]

So exciting for you scooby. I love hearing your updates. you have a lovely way about you that I just can't explain..xx

Ashley I remember back in 2013 when we first started this journey my oh went for his testing. We got the results & the doctor said about the morphology.. she said we will never get pregnant naturally because the shape of his sperm! Some have 2 heads some have 2/3tails.. we were devastated and paid privately to get the ball rolling sooner rather than later. Fast forward a few months when we were signing etc for ivf with a consultant, I explained to him that I want icsi due to the shape of sperm, he looked at the results again and said we don't need icsi and that all types of sperm will have morphology, these ones can't swim forward! But his count was high that ivf would be ideal! I've had 2 ivf cycles!
I'll have a look through the paperwork and see if I can find his results so you can compare...
I just remember being gutted! Until this specialist consultant put my mind at ease xx

 

[MrsHowley81]

Yes Scooby, I've been testing everyday as you do!! I did with my DS too so I will stop testing soon.

 

[dogmommy]

Thanks everyone! I could tell today's was slightly darker so I've decided to step away from the tests!

Scooby I hope your progesterone levels come back high and you can be done with them soon. I can't wait for Monday tests, I'm really hoping I can cut down to just one shot a day.

Ashley I'm not sure about motility but fingers crossed ivf will do the trick for you!

Kj how was transfer?

 

[Kjw26]

Dog mommy-I can see the progression! Maybe with a first response you would see a quicker progression but I think it looks good!

Ashley-I don't know much about morphology issues but I bet with icsi they will match perfect sperm with perfect eggs. Or maybe you don't even need icsi...our clinic just recommended to do it to maximize our chances even though my husbands sa was normal.

Thank you guys!! We are officially pupo! Everything went well and we got to see our beautiful hatching embryo before transfer. Such an amazing process! Now to try to chill out for 10 days lol

 

[JACKDOLL]

Congratulations KJ.. everything crossed... #luckythread xxx
