Lineman - that is wonderful...so you have quite a few to freeze!

Yes, they called today and said they were able to freeze 7. I was amazed!! I would have been happy with one or two.

It's nice to have a cycle buddy Wannabemomma. That's great news that 11 made it through the night. Our news was not so positive. Of the 15 eggs that they collected, 10 were suitable for ICSI insemination. I was happy enough with that number, but when the clinic rang me yesterday and told me that only 4 fertilized, I was crushed. Going from 15 to 4 was quite a shock. I had been pretty confident throughout the whole process, but now I'm really worried. I'm really hoping that when the clinic call today to let me know how things are going, the news is a little more positive. I just hope that at least one or two last to transfer day in 2 days time.....

Liko - all you need is one to work!! Are you doing a 3 day transfer? I am doing my transfer on Thursday.

 

[cali_kt]

Wanna- Great news on your numbers! Grow little ones...grow!

Liko- Sorry to hear the fert report wasn't the best, but remember you just need one to work!

Line- WOW! That is amazing! So nice to know that you have all those frosties waiting for you whenever you need them.

hey all! nothin much to report on my side! follicles are growing gud reached around 13 mm on day 6, FS have started me on HMG too... so instead of 2 pricks daily its now 3 pricks. there is slight pain in the lower tummy otherwise i m ok!
great no of embries on the link! thumps up ladies!
hope all are doing gud !

 

[LiKo]

Thanks for the words of encouragement ladies.

I rang the clinic today, but they don't look at them on day 2. They will be looking at them tomorrow but don't ordinarily let you know how they're doing. I asked if they could call me - for my own peace of mind. Wannabemomma - they are doing on a day 4 transfer, so mine will be on Friday.

LinemansWife - I could only dream of 7 frozen - what a peace of mind

So, I start on the progesterone gel tonight, and then the Progynova tablets on Friday morning. I'm a bit blue due to the fact that my other half won't be at the transfer as he's away for work. Seems weird to get impregnated without your partner!

Best wishes to everyone xx

 

[sanumolu]

liko: i can totally understand your situation as my huby will not b there with me either during the transfer, o so it seems, he is travellin to china! i dont knw wh i m ok with it o no! but the choice is not mine rite!

 

[BabyD225]

Linemans- Happy for you... lots of frosties!!

Cali- OHSS must be so scary! I'm so sorry you went through this..im terrified for that

Back from Disney... waiting for AF to start stims... trying to read back to see how everyone is!

 

[ttcbaby117]

wow lineman that is so awesome!!!!!!

 

[africaqueen]

LiKo- 4 embies is GREAT! ;-) Iv only ever had 1 from each cycle so don't stress x

ttcbaby- I have poor egg quality and low AMH so after MUCH research and chatting to our specialist, i take the following, daily.... 70mg cQ10, 50mg DHEA, 15mg zinc, Folic acid with calcium, 8oomiu of Vitamin E, Royal Jelly, Vitamin C and a pregnacare conception tablet. I have done research into cQ10 and DHEA and it seems they bring great results in women with low ovarian reserve or poor egg quality. I will know in a few mths if it has helped me or not. Really hoping they have as i can rattle im taking so many pills! haha x

Sanu- Yay to follies growing well x

BabyD- Hope you had a nice time at Disney and hope AF arrives asap x

 

[Rosie06]

wow this thread is moving so fast now finding it hard to keep up!

is anyone close to testing yet?

I had last bcp today so now just waiting for AF to show i reckon will be saturday or sunday which means i reckon will be starting stimms prob next thursday friday! injections going well so far no real side effects!

how you getting on pcct have you started stimms yet?

good luck to those who are getting close to testing!!!!

Africaqueen wow how many pills ha ha youll be rattling! hope your well its not long till your op is it? x

 

[africaqueen]

Yeah Rosie, i am taking a LOT of pills! haha. It will all be worth it if my egg quality improves next cycle tho my op is on the 31st so not long now. Getting very nervous tbh. Iv had same procedure twice before but as they were emergency surgeries i didnt have time to dwell and this time iv lots of time to panic. I get scared of not waking up or of something bad being discovered. I am trying to calm myself though an be positive. How are you doing? xxx

oh i can totally understand and i would be exactly the same, if i have too much time to think about things i drive myself crazy! hubby goes mad with me!

im not to bad thank you just wanting to get ec and et down with then i know i will relax alot more because after that i know theres nothing that can be done to change the decision (that makes sense in my head by the way ha ha!) weve booked a holiday so ill have something to look forward too and focus on if its negative

 

[pcct]

Hi Rosie hi everyone
Am all so finding it hard to keep up but I read everyone's up date every day
Am just waiting for my scan date coming thru then I'll start stims once had scan

 

[ttcbaby117]

Africa - thank you for the list. My dr who is also a naturopath recommended Coq10 to me along with another antioxidant called PQQ. I was also thinking of the royal jelly but am afraid to take it as I am not sure if I am allergic to bees.

 

[africaqueen]

Rosie- I am like you. I think the result will be what its meant to be as i do believe in fate altho i do hope it deals us a kinder hand this time around! lol x

Pcct- You will soon be stimming! wooohoo x

tccbaby- Anything is worth a go. After 2 failed cycles, the way i see it now is - if it cant harm its worth a try ;-) x

 

[Kay0610]

So I had my ET on Monday and I only had 1 good enough to get transferred and sadly none of my other 4 were good enough to even get frozen

So hopefully this one and only embie takes

 

[Mells54]

Hey everyone! Just trying to keep up with all of you and where you are with your cycles. Looking good so far for most!

Got my baseline ultrasound scheduled for 6 Feb. should start stims on 9 Feb. only a couple more weeks. I can't wait for my baseline and see how things are looking.

 

[Lyghtning]

Hi Ladies, can I join?
We are CD6 of IFV / ICSI. Done three injections now and had second blood test this morning, waiting on results to find out what the next step is.

This process is so scary and exciting at the same time. How is everyone else feeling.

Would love to chat to anyone around CD6

Me: 34, TTC for 14 months, PCOS, and Hypothyroid. CLomid for 6 months, didn't O, so options are IUI or IVF. Since I have PCOS and hypothyroidism I think we may go IVF as the odds are better. I am still trying to decide. I the meantime I need to get my thyroid working again as it has gone oit of whack again which my Fertility Doc says can contribute to problems. Trying to not get discouraged but my best friend and a co worker are now pregnant (first try for both) and I have to struggle. I hope if we do go the expensive IVF route it works on the first try. It's hard to not feel like this will never happen!
