[Kat_F]

Congrats wish!!! happy and healthy 9 months!!

Afm they retrieved 4 eggs, only two were mature and only 1 fertilised. I am not feeling so good.

 

[KrissyB]

Kat - Unless you really wanted twins - one good one is all you need! I only have two, and everyone has told me over and over again it's quality not quantity. FXed that little guy is a great grower for you!

 

[Kat_F]

Thanks Krissy, you are right and i do not want twins lol. Just hope it gets to 8 cell by day 3, then there's hope

 

[KrissyB]

Kat - are you doing fresh transfer at day 3?

 

[Wish2BMom]

what Krissy said, Kat! I hope that little guy is growing nice and plump!

Kat... try not to worry...easier said than done , i know!

for me..they only retrieved 3, 2 fertilized and only 1 made it to 4 day transfer at 8 cell. I'm in my 2WW so i understand the anxiety.

try and remember it only takes one! fingers crossed for you!

Kat - I totally understand how you feel but what the other girls have said is so true and my clinic can't stress enough that it's Quality over Quantity.... Stay strong

Myonechance - how long til you can test? Are you going to test at home or wait for the blood test results? Good luck - sending lots of

Pecks - how are you doing? Haven't heard from you in a while.... How many embryos were you able to freeze in the end?

AFM: Well AF has arrived today and it doesn't seem like she is going to be nice this cycle... Not heavy yet but cramps getting worse and worse so only a matter of time and I suspect it'll be super heavy. Am now just waiting for the clinic to call me to see what happens next.....

White- i can get my blood drawn on the 5th.....BUT i will be out of town until the 8th(trip planned months ago before i got my ivf dates)..sooooo....i am going to do a HPT when I'm out of town and then do the blood draw when i get home. I know I'm not supposed to but......

I sure hope AF isn't as bad as you're expecting, looking forward to hearing your next steps!!

Kfs - I can't say much different than the other ladies have said. It just takes one. Try as hard as possible to keep a PMA.

MyOneChance - Keep us posted, so exciting!!

White - Sorry about the rough AF. Have you heard from your clinic yet.

Can anyone shed some light on this? TMI: I started spotting April 21st, AF showed 8 days later super light and short. I started BCP May 2 per RE and have been on them since without a break. The thing is I haven't stopped spotting since April 21st. Sometimes it's brown and sometimes is red with light clots. I went to my OB/GYN and she said it's not my cervix and to just wait for baseline ultrasound with RE on 6/2. I know it's only 4 days away, but has anyone experienced anything like this before IVF? I'm really hoping I don't go in on Tuesday and they say I have a big fat firbroid or something in my uterus that is going to postpone everything. Tuesday just can't get here fast enough.

hope - I am having a similar issue.....I had AF, then started BCP for 2-3 weeks, then started lupron. 2-3 days before I stopped BCP (while still on lupron) I started spotting. They told me to expect a period when I stopped BCP....and the spotting transitioned to AF for about another 3-4 days. Then I had nothing for ~ 2 days, now I started stims tonight (gonal f and menopur) and I have had brown spotting when I wipe only for at least 36 hours.

I think it is all the medication.....and probably not abnormal. I had my baseline scan earlier this week, at the end of AF, and they said everything looked fine and my estrogen was 27 so all was good to start stims.....

 

[Hopethisyear]

Mrs L - Thank you so much, that makes me feel better. My biggest concern I guess was that the spotting started before I started any meds and just has kept going. Glad to hear you are cleared for stims...so exciting!!!

 

[Renaendel]

Hope, I just to the call back from my own doctor on this issue. I had started bleeding with a week left on my nuvaring. She ended up moving me over to ortho cyclen. It has about twice the estrogen and a different kind of progesterone. Her thought is that the Bcp switch will stop the bleeding and give me better ovarian suppression. Good luck on your US! Keeping everything crossed that you are cleared for stims.

 

[Kat_F]

Thanks all I'm cheering for you and loving the updates on where everyone is at.

Today the embie is a good 2 cell one so it's a 3 day transfer for me tomorrow if all is well in the morning.

 

[myonechance]

fxd for you Kat!!

Hope- it sounds like the BCP are messing with you. Try not to be super concerned until you see your RE.

 

[Wish2BMom]

Hope - my AF started on 4/18 and I pretty much bled straight thru to about 2-3 days after starting stims. After I finished BCP it was like a whole other AF. I called since it was concerning and they said it was normal. I called again Stim Day 2 or 3 and they still said it was normal. Hopefully you'll just have a super clean, fresh lining for the embies!!

Good luck with your scan!

And good luck with the transfer, Kat!! FX'ed for you and the Wonder Embie!!

 

[Kat_F]

Hey all hoping for good news for you all.

My embie was only 2-cell still on day 3 so we did not go ahead with the transfer. The embryologist said they would have liked to see at least one division in 22 hours but said it might be closure for us to go ahead with transfer. We chose not to. So that's it for this round no transfer and no frosties.
