Ivf/Icis July/Aug Ninewells Hospital Dundee

[Trying2012]

Hey ladies, didn't come on yesterday as my day 3 report was so gutting. We have lost four which haven't got higher than a 3 cell of the three that were left only one was classed as good at a 9 cell highest grade they want. The other two were 'ok' but not good at 6 & 8 cell but not as good grades.

To say I was devastated was an understatement, I thought we would lose some but never imagined we could lose 4 and not have more than one classed as good I know though it only takes one, I'm hoping we have that one good one to return tomorrow. I'm booked in for transfer at 11am. Please send all your positive thoughts to that one good embie ladies if you can xx

Hey Trying, that little embie is still hanging on for a very good reason xx chin up honey - lots of positive well wishes sent your way xx

 

[Minno]

Trying sending lots of good vibes your way. One is all you need and that one is a fighter!! Stay strong xxx

V yes had my bloods results. All good but my fsh and lh are high and estrogen low which essentially means I'm perimenopause. No big shocks but just a bid sad really as I'm only 44. Still, good news is I contacted the clinic in Prague and my test results don't mean anything as far as fet is concerned as its with donor egg embryos. So I'm on course for transfer next year as planned for after my holiday. My iron is low so I'm having to take iron also - better get myself in decent shape for the next go!
Thinking of you often and wishing you lots of luck and it all goes well. Stop watching birthing programmes - they always show the problems!!
Xxx

 

[HopeandGlory]

Trying I never managed to see you
Gutting ul have bn in by time we arrived
How'd it go?

 

[Trying2012]

Hello ladies,

Well after a very stressful sleep & trip to the clinic we got some good news, we had a blasto cell looking very good and graded well. The other two were not worth putting back as they had started to fragment so the decision was made to just return the blasto and hope for the best. The good thing is that blastos have already gone through so much development so we are now hoping and praying it snuggles in tight.

I'm the most pregnant I have ever been and can shout I am PUPO!!

Real shame I didn't see you H&G, we were up in the transfer end till just after 12. More importantly, how did your scan go?!??

Minno that's great need about still being on track for next year

 

[HopeandGlory]

That is great
See that's the thing with leaving it 5 days you are getting a better embryo but u do loose most if not all the embryos
So pleased for u
I'm rooting for u now
Well we got our scan and it's 1 bambino seen the little heartbeat it was amazing
Due date is 17th may hears hoping for a girl though defo just gna be thrilled for a healthy baby then with the frozen embryos wel re try 6months to a year after
Hopefully all goes to plan hard to have it sink in
Stomachs mum better a lot flatter ohss is almost completely gone too
Praying for ur embryo to take

Trying congratulations on being PUPO! My first few days of the 2 ww seem to fly by then it dragged. It's never stopped dragging!. Have you got anything planned to pass the time? You straight back to work? Take it easy cxx

H&G - isn't it amazing! I was convinced there'd be nothing there! And there she was my little shrimp flickering away. Not long till your booking appointment. I felt surreal phoning the midwife!. All these little things to come. Positive thoughts and lots of well wishes xxxx

 

[HopeandGlory]

Thanks glitter it's so surreal I'm wishing my 12w will hurry up tho midwifes booked for the 10th thatl be fun used to always be jealous of pregnant friends with their midwife appointments lol
U have any senses of the sex of ur baby when u was pregnant? U have morning sickness?
I get twinges/niggles now and again just now
I'm so impatient I'm gna pay for an early gender scan lol want everything to go swimmingly from here on in
Fingers crossed

 

[Trying2012]

Aww H&G that's great news!!!

 

[Minno]

Great news on this thread today 😃 thrilled for you Trying - bfp here you come!! Blasts have much higher chance of success so your chances are great.

H&G wonderful news. Looking toward to the 12 w update 😉 xx

 

[glitter1980]

Hey H&G

I know what you mean about the jealousy part! I don't think it's sunk in yet for me either!.

From the day if transfer I had niggles, I thought it was just the after affects of the stimms but it never went away. I still have a lot of discomfort. Period like pains, heavy discomfort/ pressure pain. Not take your breath away pain but enough to notice.

Symptoms - hmm. From the start of my cycle (down reg) I had sore boobs, that never went away until about 2 weeks ago!. I was never sick but felt sick all the time. Initially it was mostly at night after dinner but then became an all day thing. My HPTs were always stronger at night too so my hormones must be a bit backward!. I had food aversions - the smell of hot fat even burgers on the grill yuk! Most oven type smells and fizzy juice. Everything seems to have settled down these last 2-3 weeks. I still have mildish symptoms but actually I welcome them back! there is something reassuring in symptoms!! It gets exhausting feeling rotten all the time but comforting at the same time.

I'm 19 weeks! I can't quite believe it. I don't feel pregnant enough yet!. I had my gender scan the other day via Babybond - it's a GIRL!! - I was about the only one who was convinced it was a boy! Obviously wrong!. I get really anxious inbetween scans. I'm counting the days till the next one. We get one extra with being IVF'ers again around 28 weeks - well I'm Forth Valley and we do here anyway.

It's weird being 'dismissed' from Ninewells - it's like leaving primary and finally going to the 'Big School' in a good way! Xx

 

[HopeandGlory]

Aw glitter the relief in knowing I'm not alone
Every toilet action is monitored incase of blood I'm just wanting to get past the scary first trimester and I think il be fine
Omg so jealous I'm desperate for a girl
Did u have any preference in gender?
Did u pay private then much was it I found one for around £89 at 16w il be knocking at their door lol
Yeah I think we do get more
Special treatment lol yeah I agree like ud graduated and free to go out in the big bad world with what they've helped u achieve
Thanks for the info tho helps alot

 

[H4M]

Wow I've missed so much !!

H&G congratulations on your scan such an amazing feeling! X

Minno glad alls good with you, next year will just be around the corner x

Trying congratulations on being PUPO!! both mine that got put back hadn't made it to blastocyst stage that's why I got two put back and I now have two amazing miracles so stay positive x

Glitter nice to hear from you, can't believe your 19weeks already! And congrats on the girl . X

V are you a mummy yet???? x

Hope everyone else fine xx

 

[V2R]

Trying & H&G - Big Congratulations whoohoo it does only take one so now it's snuggled in keep yourself healthy, drink lots of water, try and relax also speak to your little one. It's a very emotional time.

H4M - I'm defo not watching that programme again! OBEM is very tame compared to that...don't you think? Lucky my man hasn't watched it he might do a runner when I go into labour haha.

Minno - Great your bloods are all back. 44 is young for pre-menopause but it's great it's not going to effect your treatment also you have plenty time to get your iron sorted out, have you been taking any vitamins? I really hope it works for you, you have been through a tough time. xxx

 

[H4M]

Yeh v obem is very tame lol! When I gave birth I said "this is nothing like obem" hahaha!!! It's not bad tho so don't worry haha! X

 

[Trying2012]

Aww Glitter. a girl that is amazing!! I didn't realise you were forth valley - so am I good to know you get a sneaky wee extra scan there!

I'm currently working hard to not symptom spot - did have some strange twinges last night though but probably overthinking. It's going to be a long tww, I can't believe they make you wait 14 days after a 5dt

 

[V2R]

H4M - I forgot to ask did you take your twins to see the nurses at the fertility clinic? I have packed a thank you card to write out & depending on how things go I was going to pop in when I get discharged. Still no movement/pains that baby wants to come I think he is very cosy in there! xx
