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

[MoBaby]

Yes I should hear about frosties tomorrow. Im not expecting any just because these 2 were the leaders but they said some could end up there tomorrow.

 

[sarahincanada]

how many more were they watching? its very possible, I had a couple that were in the lead but many more that still were going strong.
what have you got planned for the next couple of days while in bed/couch??

 

[MoBaby]

I think there were 4-5 they were watching. Idk what to do...im reading a couple of books from a friend and I will watch tv and veg out! Lol. And my kitty will keep my company

Mobaby-How many days of bedrest?? Mine is calling for 2! I will relax with the tv and probably computer too.

Congratulations on being pupo mobaby. Yeeeeee. Hoping and praying as I type this your 2 little embies are snuggling in. Now for the dreaded wait. Hope time goes quickly for you. Try to relax. Easier said than done I know.

He said 3!!!! And no shower until its up!! I feel gross already and it hasnt been 24 hrs yet... my back already hurts! I downloaded netflix on my tablet.

no freezer babies i had 1 more blast but they said it wasnt top grade so no freezing for it. The lab dr said it wouldnt survive the freeze/thaw. I feel like its all guess work. Sometimes i wish they would just freeze any blasts and let the body make the decision on if it takes or not. But we put 2 good ones in and i am going to have a bfp the lab dr said i had a great transfer so im really optimistic!!

 

[sarahincanada]

aww too bad but I like your positive attitude its funny as my clinic doesnt say I need to bedrest, they have people go to work after last time I did lie in bed for 1 day and Im going to do 2 days this time.

No shower?!?! Um no way! I bathe daily! LOL With Preston's FET, they didn't order any bedrest and he made it just fine.

So sorry to hear that. I'm thinking mine will go the same way. I have 9 to thaw and take to blast. I'm just hoping to get 2 out of that bunch.

Just to chime in here - I've been lurking on this thread for awhile and rooting for all of you ladies!

Sarah - for some reason in Canada they don't say any bedrest which I find odd when you look at how strict they are in the USA. I know when I do my cycle in March / April I am doing 2 days strict bed rest, only getting up to pee no showering etc., and then one day of just relaxing where I will shower I figure maybe there is no evidence that bed rest HELPS with a BFP but it sure will NOT HURT to do it

please keep lurking!!
and yes I agree, last time I did 1 day in bed (day of transfer) and the next day when out for lunch etc but took it easy. This time Im going to do 2 days of bed rest, then 2 days in a hotel with a little light walking to go shopping probably on the 4th day. I think its the first 1-2 days that are crucial as thats when a blast would be snuggling in. For a 3 day transfer it would be up to 3 days for implantation. I didnt know about the showering thing until I read about it on here, I will just do a facecloth and soap wash for the first couple of days then!!

My doctor didn't call for any bed rest either. I only took one full day of bed rest (transfer day)...the rest of the tww I just took it easy. I was still walking around and such though. My clinic said nothing I did or didn't do would change the outcome...but I was still nervous so I took it easy. The only exception is that one week after transfer DH and I had our big housewarming party and I was on my feet all day...that probably wasn't the best idea but it didn't hurt as I got my BFP

Mobaby - Sorry about no frosties...however, you have two AWESOME blasts growing inside of you right now...PUPO with twinnies!! So excited all went well for you.

Sarah - One day!! So excited for you!!

Iluv - when is your transfer date again?

 

[MoBaby]

sarah: are you ready for tomorrow???
fx for you!! what time do you go??

afm: bedrest almost over! i wll go to sleep at 10 so 6 more hours! then i can finally shower when wake up!!! i dont understand the no shower part..guess it has to do with being on your feet. i started having some cramps..i cant tell if (tmi) gas cramps or from there...i dont have any gas (sorry tmi) they are just low in my pelvis. i also have a headache. when i used the progesterone sup this am a glob on the applicator was light pink. i cant believe its only been 2 dpt...it feels like forever ago! lol.ive been watching pointless movies and browsing ebay...tomorrow i get to go downstairs and say hi to my pups!!

 

[sarahincanada]

yay for almost done bedrest!! that went quickly for me
Im going at 10am tomorrow
hope my lil blast survives the defrost

 

[ILuvBabies200]

Lining is 14 and has 3 nice lines. I forget what that is called. I'm good to go now and transfer is next Friday the 27th! Praying 2 out of the 9 make it to blast. They were frozen as zygotes.

Sarah-Good luck tomorrow!!!

Sunshine-friday the 27th

 

[MoBaby]

good luck sarah!!!!

iluvbabies: thats great!! only a little longer!!praying for2 strongembies!!!!

 

[sarahincanada]

im back and +1...at least for a few days!! the first blast they defrosted survived and looked good, it was rated at 4BB. They are kinda dehydrated from the freezing and they said it was starting to expand. Im now in bed for a couple of days. Say a prayer for us!! I go for my beta test next saturday, will know the results on sunday, and if it hasnt worked I only have to wait 2 weeks to try again with another one (or two) of my 7

I asked them if a blast that survives the defrost and thaw means its a good one, and she said its a good sign, but I dont think thats always true as lots of FETS fail. I asked them if they are picky about what they freeze and they said very, and just as fussy when defrosting too and if anything doesnt look 100% they get a 2nd opinion and decide whether to defrost another. so that made me feel good.

the 4BB was actually the best grade of all 10 blasts (better than the 2 originally transferred) so I asked if that meant its likely to perform better than one of my 2BB or 3BC frosties. They said its just a visual grading at the time and seeing as they cant see inside its not always a good indicator. I suppose thats why someone with perfect blasts doesnt get pregnant and someone with badly graded at day 3 does, as all that matters is whats inside.
