When is your et? X

Et is Saturday morning. I've got a tea time BBQ/ get together Saturday as well do you think ill be ok to go or will I need to rest?

 

[JaneyM]

Congrats LMH amazing results... Hope you're resting in prep for Sat!

Oh Bear seems like you've had a bit of a traumatic experience, thankfully you've got lots to be happy about in the freezer! Keep us updated when you can & good luck!

Michelle - it's getting close for you too now! I've got my drugs being delivered tomorrow & drugs appt Thursday, then I'll be waiting for AF to arrive which could be the weekend to mid next week. I get a buzz of excitement & then a jolt of reality (suppose its why they call it a rollercoaster of emotions) Especially when I read stories on here. Luckily my oh is very positive! Yes have your questions ready, I think the HC are really patient & understanding whatever you ask... everyone I've come across there is great & I asked 100's of questions so I'm a crank too! Xxx

Hi to all the other lovelies on here xxx

 

[susiesue]

Lmh great news about your eggies As long as you feel ok it should be fine for you to go out after transfer. I did a bit of shopping and went out for tea after mine, even tho oh wanted me to put my feet up. It's good to have things planned to take your mind off things x

The rest of the day my oh made me stayed laying down, it was awful haha,
As long as you feel fine you will be ok, xx

 

[Lmhiggins]

Bugs- I am so, so sorry. Life is so unfair!! i had everything crossed for you. Have you considered DE or DS for next cycle? My DH and i have decided if our next cycle fails we will be having a DE cycle as cannot cope with anymore fails. Our next cycle is our 4th and that's hard enough so can't imagine how you and dh feel! thinking of you x

Cvaeh- Lots of luck for next mth and everything crossed! i pray you break this bad spell between me, you and Bugs and get that elusive BFP x

Tooexcited- I am sorry to hear it was BFN but many women have a fail on 1st cycle and get preg on the 2nd so don't lose hope. You are just starting off. I would do IVF 100 times if we got our baby but sadly finances arent good enough. lol x

Gemz- Yaaay for your scan going well hun! cannot believe your almost 12wks! where does the time go?! hope work arent being insensitive arseholes again! x

Bear- Ah sorry to hear you had a worrying time but im glad all is ok now and that you will be having a frozen cycle when you feel better x

Lmh- WOW 15 embies is AMAZING! Lots of luck for transfer. Will it be a day 5 blast transfer? x

Michelle- Good luck for Fri. I remember how excited i was for our 1st appt to get the ball rolling. Exciting times x

Rachel- Ooh all sounds like its going well so far! hubby just needs to ejaculate 2-3 days prior to EC and then abstain until collection x

Janey- Yay for drugs coming! i was like a kid at xmas with our 1st drugs delivery x

Hi to Lindy, Susie, Lisa and all the gang. Hope everyone is doing ok. Nothing to report here, just enjoying my new job and a few nights out! lol. Needed this break away from IVF but we will be trying our best to have our 4th cycle next spring if finances allow xxx

Hi please can someone give me sum advice.
Had my ec yesterday and got 22 eggs.
Im havin icsi so they cud only inject 16 eggs. 7 have fertilised which they are freezing due to ohss.
When it comes to doing a FET doctor said they will probably thaw all 7 and put them through to blastocyst stage.
If they do that and they all make it to the stage they want. They will only tranfer 1 back in me. What happens to the rest. Do they get frozen again or disposed of??

Im trying to work out how many goez i will get from only 7 embryos? As i dont think 7 is alot.

Thanks in advance

 

[MichelleanLee]

Oh excited & bugs I'm so sorry, sending you & your partners some positive vibes xxx

Michelle - maybe we'll be very close in our cycle. Is it your consultation on Friday? Xxx

It's strange how people's stories are so similar, my oh has low sperm count & I was only diagnosed with pcos in Jan, I didn't have a clue. Thanks to Harley, Jamie & Clarkea, it's great to hear your similar stories. Xxx

Gemz - congrats on a perfect scan x

LMH - wonderful news... Keep us posted with your progress, good luck xxx

Hi Janey,
Yep it's this Friday coming, getting a bit excited now! Can't wait to get the ba rolling.

Any more news on your eggs LMH?? Xx

 

[Lmhiggins]

No news not sure I supposed to call to how they are getting on?

 

[Lmhiggins]

Stupid iPhone "am I supposed to call HC to see how they are getting on?"

 

[Jamie_lee_c_]

If I remember correctly they only ring you the day after for your progress report and to tell you when you will be in for egg transfer and then you don't speak to them until the day you go in.
They do tell you to be available just incase you need to go in for 3 day but they let you know handy xx

 

[Lmhiggins]

Thanks Jamie they did say they could ring today which they never so must definatley be Saturday

Hi Clarkea they will basically freeze any embryo's that are spare and that is all included and classed as part of your first cycle if your NHS so you've got a really good number there.

Hi AQ it's shit isn't it, I struggle with the forums at the minute because I think even when you've struggled when you've had a couple of fails no one can comprehend what it feels like.

We are going to get some advice from a clinic abroad who specialise in immunes that I've heard a lot of good things about. She tailors the protocol to you which is what I thought I was getting with Care but I think they still follow the standard protocols. Abroad they do 2x cycles for 4000 euros not including meds and if the 1st cycle with my own eggs doesn't work we'll convert the next one to donor eggs. So while we're still a long way away staying positive that it will happen for us.

And really hope us original posters AQ, MrsE and Cveah who've more than served our time here get to post in the pregnancy forums instead of lurking round here forever xxxx

Wishing everyone else better luck in your journeys xxxx

 

[Lmhiggins]

Quick question about the delightful presseries.if my ET is at 10 do I still have my morning one??

Also what was everyone's side effects from them

 

[MrsE75]

Hi ladies I've been keeping of the forums for a while so I can lick my wounds! Had my follow up but we're not sure if my issues aren't implantation because my eggs appear fine but could be chromazonal issue. So they suggested doing another cycle but possibly testing the embryos but little he can do about implantation as not enough research has been done.

So I know some people that have used a clinic in London who have lots of experience with ladies who've been told to give up on their eggs or have implantation issues. They are not cheap but before I do another cycle I am going for a consultation. Not likely to be this year anyway due to funds.

Bugs - let me know the details of the place abroad I would be interested to know x

Good luck to all those on cycles. I hope more than anything us oldies get our dreams very soon xxx

 

[bugs]

If you do them normally before 10 then it has to be done the back way I'm afraid the front area has to be kept clear IFYWIM.

Normal progesterone symptoms vary but can really mimick pregnancy symptoms so it's hard to pick out what's pregnancy and what's not xxxx

 

[africaqueen]

Bugs- Amen to that! i am happy for everyone who gets their BFP of course but really think its time that one of us 'oldies' finally got off this thread and onto a pregnancy one and i do have faith it will happen for us one day, no matter how it comes about xxx

Clarkea- 7 embryos is wonderful. I would of been so delighted to of got even two embryos. With all 3 cycles i only ever got 1, so your very lucky x

 

[clarkea]

Thanks ladies. So just to clarify. When i do my fet. They will thaw all 7. Grow them. Transfer 1 (fingers crossed) and refreeze the others? (As long as they make it strong yo day 5).

Sorry i dont mean to sound ungrateful. Im very much not. Its just u start ivf thinking u will have a baby soon and its not always the case.
