IVF/ICSI August

[Inky2006]

Hi everyone,
I had ec today. was so nervous. Felt so sick. However, general anesthetic not as bad a first thought. Nat I know you are worried about eggs collected, but it really does only take one. I had 23 collected. You might think thats great but I am so worried about getting OHSS and also I have read alot of threads whereby even with a great number the quality may well be low, so may have little fertilisation. We'll just have to wait and see. On a positive note I am very happy and glad its over - and like trixie am being waited on. Although, the kitties aren't doing a good job - unlike Trixie's jack russell - might have to make them redundant. Trixlielox pleased that all went well you sound so chilled. Tansey thanks for the positivity.

Great number Inky! for a good fertilisation report!

Well what can I say apart from that I feel gutted.
After all the follicles they only got 6 eggs from collection,so upset as they thought I would of got more given my age and follicle size.I have also been told 6 is classed as below average!
Then they told me a high percentage will fail to fertalise or develop.
Then my partner and family don't seem to relies why I am so upset.
The sedation was fine but feeling the pain, also have some blood loss. Had a argument with OH as I feel he has no consideration and quite frankly not a loving bone in his body today. So now all I wanna do is rest but oh no can't do that as his nephews need watching. Today really hasn't been everything I hoped for,silly me I should know by now not to have any expectations lol

Oh well hope everyone else is having a better day
I'll update you tomorrow after hospital call to let me know if they fertilised

Hugs

Just had call from embryologist, 3 of the eggs fertilised so they'll be popping 2 back in at midday tomorrow, yay! Can't believe, considering my problems, we've ended up with 2 embryos and 1 that might be frozen! I really, in my hearts of hearts, didn't think we'd come this far! Hurrah!

hey tansey, what's your next steps?

Hello lovely ladys

That's fab news trixilot

I got my call today , after other half gave the perfect sample the idiots still did icsi which I am annoyed with considering 1 of my precious 6 eggs was damaged during the icsi procedure. We lost that egg. Then lost another 2 due to no fertilisation and there is another that is unlikely to make it but they will do another check on it later. As it stands we have 2 embies that are going to be put back in at 3 pm tomorrow, but we have been warned that they could die before then. Ask about qualities but they said they couldn't comment on that until tomorrow.
Feeling gutted as my clinic said my egg reserve was fantastic and my drastic weight loss and given I am young too I should get some excellent results, this dosent seem excellent to me . I am greatful that I have 2 but my expectations were set to high and now I feel gutted

Sorry to moan, thinking of you all
Hugs

[MummyIwanabe]

my expectations were high too because of what the clinic told us. I was told because of my age my egg reserve etc I would get excellent results. As it happens I got less eggs than expected, 4 weren't mature and the quality was fair-poor. I still had 2 put back in and even though it didn't work for me - all you need it 1 or 2 an sometimes lowquality embies make it and top grades don't! it's a lottery so try not to worry, long as you have something to transfer tomorrow you're in with a shot

 

[tansey]

Nat fingerscrossed for tomorrow for you - our two made it to day 3 to be transfered!

hey tansey, what's your next steps?

We have a review appointment with our clinic in Coventry where we did our 1st IVF. Hoping to do our 3 free iui while we save and decide which clinic to use next for IVF.

 

[MummyIwanabe]

hope the follow up goes well and you can get started with IUI soon!

 

[Isi Buttercup]

That sounds awesome, Trixi!! Good luck tomorrow.

Nat, I agree with MummyIwannabe.....all you need is 1 or 2 to be successful. Sending you loads of against tomorrow

Good luck, Tansey. I pray the IUIs work, so you don't have to bother with another IVF.

 

[TrixieLox]

Hi Nat, how do they have the info that some of the embryos might not survive? Our nurse didn't even mention the possibility they wouldn't survive and seemed absolutely sure we'd have 2 to transfer tomorrow. Maybe it's cos hubby's swimmers are such high quality? Just seems strange your clinic know enough to say they might not survive?

Anyway, you must think positive thoughts. Remember, only 2 can be put back in anyway (or 1 if NHS) and you have 2. So try to get your mind in a positive frameset cos your embies need their mummy to be positive and excited.

Hello Hun

I am thinking if other halfs samples have now improved maybe I should try that iui too next time. In my area we only get 2 MHD funded cycles. Rather than use my final attempt up I am thinking iui may be a option. Will the nhs fund it if we have had a attempt at icsi?
Oh you mentioned day 3 transfers, is it good or bad if it's a day 3?
Is mine classed as a day 3 then? Or does it have to be 72 hrs to be classed as a day 3 transfer?
Sorry for all the questions. How are you at the moment?
Hugs

[tansey]

Nat EC is day 0 (ovulation day), you get your fertilisation report on DAY1, then many are put back on day2 or some clinics do day3. I had day 3 the 1st time as I had 5 embryos and there wasn't enough difference in them to be able to choose which 2 to put back. If you only have two then the sooner they are back in you the better - mummy is better than an incubator!
You would have to check with your pct or clinic as to whether you are entitled to free IUI. We were entitled to 1 IVF and 1 frozen cycle (we had none though) and 3 iui. The clinic said I could do iui first or after IVF.
My problem is one of my tubes are blocked so if the follicles grow on that side they will canx the cycle.

Mummy hope your cycle's going ok?

 

[MummyIwanabe]

Got my first scan tomorrow. Suffering this time earlier than last time, feel really uncomfortable hopefully they're growing and are better quality this time.

Hello Hun

They said that I needed to bare in mind that a % of they don't last to transfer and if they did stop fertilising before transfer tomorrow they would call me. I think they are going off past experiences.
Aw your right I do need to be posative hun. I am feelin pain below still, how are you?
What time is transfer tomorrow Hun?
