Hi girls!
Just a quick msg,I've just got back from Liverpool! They've transfered 2 1st class lovely strong embryos! The others didn't look so good so probably wont have any frosties. The embryologist said that they are of much better quality than the other embryos they've transfered for me in the past. Fx ladies that we will be third time lucky! xx

Africa,hope things are a little better with your mum by this afternoon xx

Aww del, this is fantastic news, are made up u had two put back, woop aww fx for a bfp wiv twinnies! Hehe xx good luck hun! Xx

Yay big congrats Del with the 2 embies, so excited for u Did you have any problem with them when you wanted the 2 back in?

Glad your mum is doing a little better Africa.

Lots of luck for everyone else

Thank u babies. They were ok about it because of our situation,this was our 3rd transfer and also we are very limited on attempts because we are using my oh's frozen sperm that was stored before he had treatment for cancer about a year and a half ago and that supply is dwindling! The embryologist did say that if our circumstances where 'normal',and because I am only 29 and had good quality embryos this time round she would of stongly advice putting one back. But at the end of the day it's your choice hun,there is no legal document as yet saying that they only yransfer single embryos. If any of u want 2 transfered and have 2 good quality ready on the day then go for it! Don't take no for an answer! Xx

Morning girls

Del- I fully agree with you. When we had our cons appt the other day and got start dates etc, the nurse told me i was having 1 embyro transferred... i said no i want 2 and she said well due to your age (im 30) and everything else, we would trans one... i asked was it a legal requirement and she said not as yet so i said - well we want 2 embryos transferred even if we get to blast stage so she said ok and wrote on notes that she strongly advised against it and that we have gone against advice to cover herself and that it is still to be discussed at the time. I said ok but end of discussion as far as we are concerned! lol. Me and DH have talked about it at lengths and our decision is made and thats that really. We have lots of friends with twins or pregnant with twins and my cousin had twins and MIL is a twin so we are not going into this blindly but i understand why they advise one as there are more risks with twins xxx

 

[harvey]

if i cud hav 2 i wud too hun,, but my clinic said id only be able to have 1 as il be 23 when i strt treatment
xx

 

[laura25]

back to work for me tomoz, booooo! could of done wiv another week off hehe! i have my 7 week scan on tuesday morn, sooooo excited!!!

good luck to all the girlies wiv upcoming treatment or appointments! wish u all lots of luck and babydust! xxx

 

[foxeydevil2]

i didnt get a choice either! we got told we could only have one put back, annoys me as its my body and i paid for it so i should have been able to choose. luckily the one stuck but as much as there is more risk with twins, u also have double the chance of at least one sticking. must be really hard for these nurses who can concieve naturally to tell us whats best for us and how we should be grateful, bugs the hell out of me. sore subject as u can tell. im lucky i know that but i should have had the choice!!!!.

hi to everyone hope your well laura, africa sorry to hear about ur mum but great news on the treatment. seems we could have alot more bfp's on here by christmas .
