IVF - For those in January?? (Nov. is long gone!)

[PCOSMomToTwo]

Sarah: the embryologist who called said most don't get extra, her words were "that's a bonus" but they were all so strong on day 3 and then yesterday the dr said there were a few that looked like they may be ready but I guess they didn't progress. She told me they are very selective with freezing because they have to be top notch in order to survive a freeze/thaw. I just hoped for 2 frozenbut thank God we had 2 perfect blasts to transfer. Now onto the wait! Wonder when I should test lol.

Test in 6 days That's when I got my unquestionable BFP

If you are wayyyy antsy like me, you could pee on a stick in 5 days (but do it at night) ... I had a vvvvv faint line.

No pressure

Just found out none of the embryos made it to freeze so the two in me now are it. Praying for them to implant and become beautiful babies!

Jamer: im soo sorry

Katie: I fell okay, a little achy down there. But im sad now that none of the remaining 12 made it

MoBaby ... Sorry to hear you didn't have any to freeze. Positive thoughts from this point on

Jamer .... So sorry

AFM .... I think AF is pretty much here. Dark brown discharge with some old blood. Basically she's starting to show her face. I hope tomorrow is day 1

I hope everyone else is doing well!!!

Sarah-Yay for so many doing so well! My clinic only does 5 day transfers so I am very nervous. Definitely hoping for some frosties too. IF AF ever gets here and we can start! LOL

Katie1981, my EC had been movd to the 16th... about 8 hours time. How about yours?

Hey, see my post above. 17 lovely eggs. It was so easy, no pain

Wow! Congratulations! I just got back from egg retrieval and am exhausted. Will take a nap and hope my little embies will grow.

Baby dust to you!!!

Hey everyone. Just got my fertilisation report. 12 fertilised. I am happy. But is 5 a big number to not fertilise. New to this so dont know what to think.

Hey everyone. Just got my fertilisation report. 12 fertilised. I am happy. But is 5 a big number to not fertilise. New to this so dont know what to think.

Katie, if it makes you feel better, I had 16 mature and only 11 fertilized. Of those 11 by day two I had 4 "textbook" embryos. On day 3, two embryos "were progressing better" than the other two so they decided to transfer since they knew which ones would be the best. Also, I guess the other two ended out being good too cause I got two frosties on day 5 (and my clinic only freezes top grade blasts). Basically, 12 is a GREAT number...I bet this will be your month!!

 

[MoBaby]

I had 14 out of 17 fertilize, 2 blasts and some that made it to blasts but were poor quality.so transfer 2 top notch and no frozen. on day 3 all 14 were progressing the same. I think your report looks good! Good luck! Are you doing a 5 day transfer?

 

[katie1981]

Thank you sunshine and mobaby. Yes goring to do a 5dt. Clinic will only transfer 1 because its my 1st cycle and im under 35. I keep thinking about those little fertilised egg. Is that mental. Lol :-D

Thanks babe am swollen and in pain mow. They managed to get 49 eggs today. I will be speaking to the embryologist this Saturday on each embryo's progress. All the best to your 5DT! has your clinic called about their growth yet?

 

[sarahincanada]

so today day 3 I have 16 embryos going strong. she didnt have any info on the quality, and said that they leave them incubating between now and day 5, so I wont get the final report till we go in for the transfer on friday. she said to prepare for the numbers to go down so Im not shocked on friday. I just hope they are good quality, not just 16 okish embryos!! I guess we will see on friday transfer

janicet do you not get a report everyday? how come you have to wait till saturday?

 

[sunshine314]

janice - wow 49 eggs!! Congrats

Sarah - Sounds like you will have some good blasts to transfer come Friday! HOpefully you even get some to freeze!

Day 1 for me. The clinic wants me in tomorrow. I'm excited that the process is going to start. Kinda scared now as my dad has to be operated & I don't want to be stressed as he is out of the country. We haven't shared with our family that we are doing ivf I don't want my parents to worry for me as my dad has bigger worries right now. What timing

 

[PCOSMomToTwo]

1st BETA -- 238
2nd BETA -- 543

My 1st ultrasound is Dec 2nd!!!!!

Time to spread some

Yay for Day 1. I hope everything goes ok with your dad and try not to stress to much. however many stressed people get pregnant, so dont stress about the stress either

PCOSMomToOne yay

PCOSMom & Sunshine-Awesome beta's!!! I'm so ecstatic for you both!!!

Wannab-day 1 for me too! Definitely love having a cycle buddy so close!!

Me-Af hit me this morning. I should have been prepared. LOL I had my labs done and my baseline u/s looked good. I start injections tomorrow evening. I'm maybe thinking of doing even the IM ones myself. I would rather be the one to cause the pain. KWIM?? Paid the hefty bill and we were on our way! I'm a bundle of nerves now. I go back next Wednesday for another scan and labs. Then the following scans are in Ann Arbor 45 min away which I am stressing about. Procedure is 2 hours away at their main lab. ER is the week after Thanksgiving. Praying for a special delivery in August!!!

IM ones aren't painful ... the anxiety of injecting is the worst pain. It's been 3 weeks now since I started ... I don't even think about it anymore, it's just become so routine.

Hoping for your BFP in December!!!! I followed everyone's advice ... I ate pineapple core and walnuts for 3 days after embryo transfer. It's suppose to help with implanting.
