IVF/ICSI @ Liverpool Womens Hospital

[babies7777]

Hi everyone

Hope you're all well.

Im counting down the days to our next appointment, dh starts a new job on monday so hope they are understanding with our appointments. I figure there are only three he needs to attend, the joint, egg collection and putting embies back.

What happens with egg collection? do the men do their sample at home or when you get to the hospital? can they sit with u when ur having the eggs collected?

Tons of luck for everyone

Morning all!

Well......HC have just called to say that of the 11 eggs collected, 9 were injected and 6 have fertilised! Hoorah! I'm booked in for ET on Friday afternoon - day 3. Number to be decided when we get a bit more information as to how they are dividing, which is supposed to start later on today.

Nici - sorry, no top tips - I have pretty much carried on as normal. Just taken my folic acid and my usual Vit C and E.

Kazza - I think a bit of tugging is normal, I started to feel the stimms at around 4 days I think, and was very bloated and uncomfy by the end!

Babies777 - men can produce a home if you prefer and live nearby, otherwise there is a 'room', which seems to be where the men were going yesterday in the main. They stay with you until just before you go to sleep,and wait for you in your own room for when you get back.

Hope everyone else is feeling ok today xx

Hi girls.

Kazza- I should imagine that a dull dragging pain is a good sign for lots of nice follies x

Jane- Glad ur ok and that pain not too bad after the EC and glad fert report was good! you will soon be pupo x

Laura- Hope all well with u hun x

Nici- dr goes rather fast so u will soon be used of them. My only side effects now are the odd feeling of sickness and exhaustion but nothing major x

Babies- Good luck to dh with new job and im sure they have to allow appts and its only a few for the men anyway so should be fine x

Hi to everyone else x

AFM- I am feeling really low but more so as im missing my mum so much and struggling with the emotions of this treatment. My baseline scan is 4th oct so hope to start stimms soon as im sick of dr. Its boring me! lol xxx

Hi everyone

Jane22 - Congratulations on getting 6 embies. Hope your transfer goes nice and smoothly for you.

Africaqueen- I'm thinking of you xx

NicJones - I am on day 7 of DR so we are pretty close together in our cycles. My only symptom so far is a massive outbreak of spots!! My basline scan is the 12th Oct.

Babies- My husband stayed with me during egg collection right up until they gave me the sedation and then they took him out. He produced his sample there. They have a special room with mood lighting and an up to date DVD system in there!!!

Hope everyone else is well. Wishing everyone lots of success xxxx

hi girlies,

went for my nuchal translucency scan today to check for any signs of downs syndrome,but realy we just went for another look at our baba the results wouldnt matter to us. The scan didnt go as planned because our baba is measuring further on 14 weeks 4 days to be exact hehe! and they cant do a nuchal scan after 14 weeks!!!!! soooo i just have a blood test next week instead which also checks for downs syndrome! but we are not worried or bothered with what the outcome may be as it wouldnt matter aslong as our baby is healthy then thats all that matters, nothink else!!

i also saw a blood specialist called Miss Feroza Dawood, lovely lady, she has put me on baby aspirin to keep my blood nice and thin as my sister had very severe pre esclampsia, thrombosis and blood clots on her lungs all at the same time with her first pregnancy! she was a very poorly girly!!!! so think they just wanna careful! i feel nice and safe now hehe!!!

lovely to see all you girlies, journeys progressing, not long now and u will all have ur BFPS!
sending u all lots of baba dust hehe! +++++++++++++++++++++ xxx

 

[africaqueen]

Cvaeh- Thank u. Nice to see u and hope ur ok x

Laura- Aah that is great news hun! your pregnancy seems to be going really fast since your BFP! I feel my mum all around me and she will watch over me and guide me, just miss her in the physical sense so much x

Well girls not long till my baseline scan is it, so hoping i can start stimms then as dont want any delays just want to crack on xxx

 

[babies7777]

So excited for you!!

I think thats the most sensible way re how many embies they put back deciding when you see how they are dividing. Dont know why they ask you to decide at joint consultation, seems silly to decide something when you dont know how many etc. Think i will say that at our consultation that i want to see how many etc but def cant wait to hear how it goes for you.

Tons of luck and

PS, is anyone taking baby aspirin during their cycle??? I have heard so many women say that they are taking it. Some ladies throughout entire ycle, some only after ET and some start when stimming starts!?!?!?!
