Hey Ladies- Met my FS today. They picked up 18 eggs. 15 fertilized. They are going to tell me tomm what grades the embies are before the transfer. My FS does the grading only on day 3. The interesting part is- she says that since I have a decent amount of embies she wants to try a sequential transfer which is - I will have a day 3 transfer tomm and then if I blastocysts on day 5, I will have day 5 transfer as well. If it works and I get multiples (more than 2) she is going to reduce the extras. She seemed very confident and said she does reductions very frequently.

All sounds good to me..Sadly- it still does not guarantee that it will work. That really sucks. Am waiting for tomm to know what quality the embies are. Am thinking all 15 cant be bad.

I have a question about pessaries. I have been taking progesterone pessaries and they ooze out after a few hours in form of some pink gooey sticky stuff. is that normal?

Another very interesting thing I would like to share with u all- I am taking viagra (a diff brand name) vaginally twice a day. The idea is to increase the blood flow to the uterus because thats what viagra does. I am finding it very amusing

 

[Sammy2009]

Just a short post- Got to know informally - I have 15 embies. Dun know anything else. I had a 90% fertilization so have calculated that they probably got 17 eggs. DH's sperm was fine- very good quality in the words of the embryologist. Will collect the fertilization report and give details. My FS does a day 3 transfers and according to her she has highest success rates with those. Am wondering if I should ask for a blastocyst. Any recommendations?

Wow -- great numbers, looknomore! That's a very hopeful sign.
According to my RE, everyone used to do day 3 transfers *only* -- but now, if they can make it to day 5, it gives the drs a better idea of which ones are really strong & growing (self-selection, she said). I don't know what that means for your treatment, but it's not uncommon to do day 3 still.

Great number of embies hun... my hospital always do 3 day transfers and i got BFP with my first IVF with a 3-dayer. They dont even like the frosties going to blast and try to freeze them before they get that far. They ideally try to freeze on Day 4 before they get to blast but sometimes they grow too quick and they dont consider that "ideal" They think they are best put back into their natural environment and also there is less chance of them "keeling over"

 

[Megg33k]

My clinic speaks of using viagra too! Its funny! LOL

 

[looknomore]

Mrs F- congrats on being pupo. I think I am going to be PUPO tomm.

Sammy- whats your news honey. Hoping things are better at home for u

ISI - Your AF is here..ALL the best for the stimming. Its not bad at all. And a bit exciting with the scans and monitoring. Things will start moving faster now

Fleur- Its the quality that matters in IVF so dont lose heart. I personally know someone who got a BFP wih just 1 embie

maxxi- Good luck for the stimming. 4th Nov is not that far

Miss monty- 19 is a very good number. Actually its an ideal number as its a good number without causing OHSS. All the best for the EC. The bloating is horrible. I too have a bloated stomach right now esp since the doc had to put pressure on my left ovary as it was hiding behind my uterus.

Wrighty- How u feeling honey. Hope u are better.

I am running low grade fever today but the doc is not too worried. Apparently my EC was bit tricky as the endo in my left ovary has made the ovary shift behind the uterus even after the endo was removed its still positionally difficult to reach. Have a bit of a bruise and pain in the abdomen as well. Am hoping it does not effect the ET

 

[MrsF]

looknomore - i had that last time, and when i mentioned to the nurse this time, she said to insert the tabs whilst you're lying down, and stayed lying down for at least half an hour. I've noticed the carrier-yucky stuff does come out, but it's not for a while after insertion, so i know i have lots of progesterone up there....

unfortunately, it's gotta come out sometime gal x x x

oppppssss forgot to write about myself

im doing well bloating is going down nicely now. i have looked id say about 4 months pregnant since friday so im sooooo glad its going. i am still a little bit sore but nothing really to worry about. had a phone call off the hospital on monday and the blood they took clotted before they could do any test on it (not sure why or if it means anything) so they might want to repeat them on thursday when i have my scan. im still taking things easy but have started to do some things around the house

i will be back xx

They require a certain # of days of birth control pills... and they pull all of us off the birth control at the same time to get us all to CD1 for Nov 1. They have very static cycle dates. If I don't start very soon, I won't have enough days of the birth control pills in and they won't allow me to start the Nov cycle.

hello ladies i wondered if i can join you i was half on the other 4 leaf clover thread for a bit but my icsi was still a long way off and had a few hiccups along the way etc etc.... anyhow i had ec yesterday felt so positive up till then... then they only managed to collect 5 eggs!! I cried the whole way through i guess i just didn't respond very well to the drugs they changed my dose half way though so im hoping thats why. Got my call this morning to say 3 had fertalized and going bk in for et tomorrow. I just feel so gutted as i was sure because im only 24 and i was convinced i would have loads of eggs and have a blasto put back and now im left with 3 eggs, one going back on day 3 and i sware he said they should b 4 cells by then???? 4 bloody cells whats that about!! im sorry to rant but i just need a bit of support dont know if its the hormones but i just feel so upset with myself!! good luck to the rest of you ladies fingers crossed for some more bfps!!!! xxx

Hey Fleur, this whole IVF/ICSI thing is new for me as well but I have to say your 3 Embies are probably top quality at age 24 seriously, I see a bfp coming up for you soon....agghhh, to be 24 again that would be so nice Good luck sweets and keep us posted but I have no doubt it will be good news.

Yom0- congrats on being pupo woo hoo

I must say ladies, this is a very exciting thread, lots going on and everything is moving so quickly!! I am happy to watch and learn until its my turn, but you better stick around for my ET on Dec 3rd lol!!
