Hi to all the gang x

 

[Kelly9]

thanks ladies

 

[ellemar]

Thanks anyways Traskey!! I just was at my family DR again and he said not to worry, that the embryologist is being EXTRA careful.... There is nothing wrong with me Got all my other tests back and all is good Hubby's test results were great too !!

I can't believe in less than a week I will start the process with you all...Sunday is my last day on the pill !!!

 

[Kelly9]

Great news ellemar.

Not so great news for me, out of 14 only 7 were mature and 6 fertilized. I hate it when I'm right. There's a lot of drama between me and my fertility doc which has lead me to get a second opinion and switch doctors so I never have to deal with his insensitive arrogant ass again. I think when all is said and done and we've transferred our embryo's to the clinic in halifax I will be filing a formal complaint with the canadian fertility board about it. Anyway there are more details in my journal.

 

[~Hope~]

Ellemar that's great news - not many sleeps now

Tiff - 6 is still a great number, we had 6 on day 2 so please don't give up hope yet. Will you go to blast or 3DT?

 

[rosababy]

tiff, those are the exact numbers I had for my 2nd round. By day 3, I only had 3 left, but evidently it was enough! Hang in there.

 

[ellemar]

Thanks ladies

Tiff - those sound like good numbers to me, no? I'm really sorry you are having such a horrible experience w/ your Dr, and you should make a formal complaint. This is a time for people to show apathy, and caring...

 

[Kelly9]

6 for us is not good in the sense that we had so many last time, though with our last cycle we only lost 1 after fertilization so hopefully we'll have the same luck and get to keep them all but I doubt that will happen as our clinic will take any embryo to blast now regardless of transfer day. I've just updated in my journal re the embryos if you're interested. Won't know till tomorrow about when we're transferring.

 

[wanabeamama]

Hi ladies I am starting ivf/icsi on 3rd September I am currently on prostap/lupron for endometriosis and will overlap the last 2 weeks of prostap with ivf.

Good luck to you all

 

[Kelly9]

rosababy what is your fertility issue if you don't mind me asking?

So nervous for tomorrows call and will be even more nervous for 4 and 5 days past transfer if we go that far. Ugh. Good thing I'm busy all day tomorrow then I work monday.

welcome wannabe

 

[wanabeamama]

Kelly good luck with your transfer

 

[ellemar]

Welcome Wanabe - Very excited for September for you Comes quick...I assure you!

Tiff - I'll look at your journal, and I'm sure I'll understand better. As a feel good story? My BFF had 8 retrieved, and 2 were mature, and one did take!! She delivers next week Initially she was disappointed w/ the 8 as she was on the max dosage of Gonal F, and it was her last/final attempt....

Good luck today!!!! FX for you

I can't believe today is my last day on the pill....The 12th is just around the corner!! Maybe I"ll be prego for Christmas!!! It's all starting to hit me now...

 

[Kelly9]

Thanks ellemar

copy and paste from journal with the updates: Yup we're going to blast, I'm so nervous I could puke. As of this morning we still have all 6 embryos we have 2 x 8 cells, 2 x 9 cells 1 x 10 cell and 1 x 14 cell <--- that one surprised me. They should be at 8 cells today to not be lagging. Lab said 14 cells isn't good or bad it can still not make it to blast. They're still going to do assisted hatching so not sure where I'm coming up with that extra 400 dollars now.

 

[wanabeamama]

Good luck fingers crossed it gets to blast, when will you find out?

 

[rosababy]

rosababy what is your fertility issue if you don't mind me asking?

Not at all. I had a lap and it showed that my tubes were too weak and damaged for anything to get through them. Doc said even if we DID conceive naturally, we have a 60% chance of it being ectopic. But he doesn't think that we'll ever even get to that point. So that's the main issue. However, I also have "smallish" ovaries that are a bit older than I am. We dealt with some egg quality issues even though my numbers (amh or whatever it is) were always fine.

1st round = 10 eggs, only 6 were mature, 5 fertilized and 2 were "ok" by day 3. I was devastated.

2nd round = I was doing acupuncture, and on a bunch of new supplements that were supposed to help with egg quality and got 14 eggs (we were pumped!!), but only 7 were mature. So not much better. 5 I think fertilized (maybe 6 I can't remember) and 3 were good by day 3. My RE won't go to blast unless we have 4 or more by day 3, just in case none of them make it. 2 were 8 cell I believe and were great quality. 1 was just mediocre. We threw it in as well because we didn't want to discard any and it wasn't good enough to freeze.

 

[schoolteacher]

Good luck going to blast Tiff! Have you has assisted hatching before? I hope that helps. xx

AFM-2ww is going so slow as usual, otd is friday 13th-unlucky for some! Feeling the most confident I have ever been funnily enough! Most of the time got a good feeling, and last night Dh said he has a feeling too but he didnt wanna say any more than that! Have had twinges, and AF type pains today. Taking the AF type pains as a good thing as I never get AF early so hopefully its implantation! I'm 4dp5dt today! x
