IVF/ICSI @ Liverpool Womens Hospital

[bugs]

Hi ladies just wondered if I could join u not a clue how I work this site but been nosying at ur posts for weeks now (hope u dnt mind) I was reffered from whiston to liverpool late last year had information evening november and I've just had all my tests repeated and we have just received consultation for 24th feb my bf has low sperm morphology (so we were told @ whiston )and I've had ectopic in a previous relationship 2 years ago ttc since I'm just curious as to what this appointment is about I'm guess working all the time and its all I'm thinking about hope ur all ok reading your comments has kept me going I'm sick of friends and family announcing pregnancys when they didn't want children (selfish me) can't help feeling like this :/ sorry I'm rambling on be lovely to hear some bfps on here very soon xx

Hi babys4beckyx welcome to our thread, If it's your 1st appointment it will be pretty straight forward they'll have a look at your results and then with you having MF probably recommend ICSI depending on if there is a waiting list which there never seems to be you should start within a couple of months.

If you have any questions write them down coz you are in and out and your mind just goes blank, Good Luck xxx

I'm still waiting for therm to ring I am so nervous !!!!!!

 

[babys4beckyx]

Thanks for reply I was really gettin confused as I though we would be starting next period well I was hoping all we seem to do is have an appointment wait 3 months and all over again bugs are u waiting on results regarding your eggs good luck xxxx

 

[babys4beckyx]

Also I'm wondering if there's anything I can do to boost my chances of this working I don't drink alcohol either so I dnt need cut backs my partner isn't a drinker either I've put him on zinc and I'm just taking my folic acid also with icsi is there a better chance of that working or ivf xxx

If it's a male factor problem then they will recommend ICSI to up your chances, I think the drinking and smoking is the main one but I have cut out as much caffine as possible I was going to try and eat better but i'm lucky to get 2 a day let alone 5 so I've tried my best to eat healthier.

Well I've just had the call and i'm a bit dissapointed we got 17 eggs exactly the same as last time but this time 10 were immature and could not be used so out of the 7, 5 have fertilised the hospital think this is a really good amount but can't explain why I am getting so many immature so not only do I have no tubes I produce shitty eggs aswell things just get better. She said it's my decision if we go to day 5 but I don't know if I'm brave enough I can't help but think they will do better if they are inside me I just don't know what to do !!!!

 

[babys4beckyx]

Aww bugs don't be disheartened at least there are 5 u only need 1 good egg I don't know what I'd decide on that one either I'd rather it be in and done with but then its good to go to blasto stage as you know which is the best whatever u decide I wish you lots of luck you deserve it I can't wait to be at that stage so does that mean if you only have the 1 et you have 4 remaining to freeze xxx

 

[babys4beckyx]

Longtobeamum _ sorry just read ur reply thank u and I wish u lots of luck on losin weight how far have you got to go xx

 

[longtobeamum]

Ah Bugs, like babys4beckyx said, all it takes is 1 good egg, but as you say, it's so hard to decide what to do for the best. I think if it was me I'd let them go to blasts.

Longtobeamum _ sorry just read ur reply thank u and I wish u lots of luck on losin weight how far have you got to go xx

xxx

 

[bugs]

I'm goint to wait till they call tomorrow and see how they are doing if 3 or more are progressing well I'll go to blasto any less I'll have one put back as the embryologist said if they don't make it to blast in the lab it's unlikely they'll will get that far in the womb it's just about taking that chance on the positive side she said she has never had it happen when they have let them go to blast and not 1 has made it so fingers cxd xxxx

 

[babys4beckyx]

Ahhh this is so exciting for u so when is it roughly u have them in ?? How long has it taken to get to this stage from startin treatment I'm so scared of it all, xxx

 

[africaqueen]

hello ladies

hope your all well

Laura - thats great news hun. did they say how many follies you had? we could be PUPO together or not far behind each other. good luck with your scan monday xx

Africaqueen - hi hun hows the diet going? everything going ok just feels like its really dragging but i know not long to go and i will be PUPO woohooo xxxx

Bugs - who did you speak to about 5 day transfer as ive never been given the options its always been "your having it on this day" and thats its. are you self funding or NHS? i would be like you hun i wouldnt know what to do with only having 5 embies. im sure you will make the right decision hun and good luck with transfer. ive had 2 and 3 day transfer and got BFP from both just unlucky they didnt stick xxx

Babys4becky - welcome hun good luck with your appointment and your forthcoming treatment xxx

longtobeamum - hi hun hows the diet going? good luck with it xxx

AFM - well ov due in 5/6 days now im excited and really nervous. thinking of phoning the hospital monday about having a 5 day transfer as that is really what i want. so would be great to know that it is possible

good luck ladies
