IVF May/June/July 2015, Lets Get Ready!

[Hopethisyear]

My Dr office just emailed and we have 2 normal embryos from our PGD test. We still haven't decided if we are going to transfer 1 or 2. Hoping my nurse sends me my calendar soon so I can start booking my flights for FET.

 

[MrsL4]

thanks great hope!! so happy for you!

Hope congrats on having 2 perfect embies ? Would you transfer one at a time ? If there top quailty blasts one is the best usually xxx

 

[Hopethisyear]

Thanks! Honestly, I was a little disappointed whenI found out that there were only 2 and I started crying. Then I thought about it and I could have none and that would be worse. I don't know the quality, but I did ask my nurse so we will see what she says. They are not really good about giving me the info I ask for and it really bothers me. We don't know whether to transfer one or two. In my mind I was going to get 3 back and was going to transfer 2 this time and save one for next time. I'm not afraid of twins and would actually love them. But now with only two, I'm thinking we should just transfer one and then have another chance if it doesn't work. Any thoughts?

Cassie- how's it going?

My embies didn't make it past day 3, they all grew to 8 cell and then stopped growing I found out today and me and my partner are devastated.

So we are going to speak to the clinic about starting our next cycle..

So sorry Cassie it is such a cutthroat time when you're hanginf on day by day and one day its all good, the next you're left with nothing

 

[Kat_F]

Hope two embies is a great result. I've not had much luck with frozen embies but everyone is different and my son came from a fresh and we froze the other.

I'm so sorry cassie- this journey is just so cruel and devestating....it will happen! Just so hard not to be able to have control of it.

Hope- good news. Advice...only you can decide. I'm not as strong as you guys so I decided not to freeze because I just didn't think I could do this again. We are pretty open to adoption so we were okay if this one ivf. Didn't work out not doing them again. So like you know. We put all 3 we had back in everyone I different though. Make a decision for you guys!

 

[KrissyB]

Cassie - Sorry to hear about the embies Sounds like you are being quite strong though and keeping your eyes on the next steps. I hope you get to start the next cycle soon

Hope - I have two as well. Definitely were hoping for more but really, two great ones is great. Normally I think 1 high quality 5 day is best, but if you are very open to twins maybe putting two isn't a bad idea. I guess in the end it's really a personal decision for you and your OH. When are you doing the transfer?

 

[bettybee1]

Just had my app!!!
Happy to say my lady I shared to is pregnant really happy for her ! She also has 2 frozen

I can also start next cucle on estrogen patch protcol one of my 4bb blast was 5bb when frozen so it had started hatching ek x

 

[bettybee1]

Cassie-really sorry about your cyc hun

Hope- I would do one at time that way its kind on a run through and if it doesn't work 1st time there could be stuff you could do to change xx

 

[Renaendel]

Ohh no cassie. Major giant hugs. I will put you down to join us in our August September thread. Pop In any time. We are here in both threads to support you. Hopefully the doc will let you know about ideas to help.

Hope-it is such a hard call. I would need a big long talk with my husband. I know my doctor said at my age that she always recommends two, but she made it very clear that we can chose to just put back one and save any others for a sibling. Twins do carry risk, but so does time. It is such a hard call.

Cassie - like all the other girls have said I'm so sorry Infertility is such a horrible thing and things change in a moment. Take your time and look after yourself but I am so happy you and your partner are being so positive about starting the next cycle

Hope - ahhh such a difficult decision and one that only you and your DH can truly decide. If you want my advice however I would possibly transfer 1 and save 1.... For me personally I couldn't go through the whole IVF procedure again (mainly for financial reasons as we had to pay fully ourselves) so I would be tempted to transfer 1 and hope for the best and then know if it didn't work I still had another go.... But like I said only you know what is best for you and if you are able to go through IVF again (the full procedure) then that's a big thing. Thinking of you - none of these decisions are easy.

to everyone else.

AFM: Not feeling 100% today. Yesterday was super grumpy but not sure if it's the Estrace or just cause I am sick of packing!! Especially cause it is so hot! Still the sooner it gets done, the sooner I can relax Once the transfer is done I am going to sit on my butt and do nothing!!! Well for a couple of days anyway!!

 

[N8ie]

Cassie- I'm so sorry to hear that. Just remember we are all here for you

 

[bettybee1]

White - probably the extra estrogen making you feel like that did you say your on patches ? They have prescribed me the patches 2 on a day keep on for 4 days then change they said I'll be then in at 14days to check my lining if it's okay then it will be starting progesterone supp aswell and then in at 5days for transfer :0!

How mmany embies are you hopefully transferring ? X

 

[WhiteOrchid24]

Thank Betty - I'm actually on tablets - 4 a day.... I think 4mg in total. We had 4 embryos frozen which were all very good quality and we have decided to transfer 2 this time... They were day 3 embryos and having been trying for over 3 1/2 years to get our BFP without a hint it makes sense...especially as I will be 36 in a few weeks. How about you?

 

[waitingongod1]

Betty- I wish I knew if the person I donated is pregnant. ..they wouldn't give me any other info other than she was very happy with the eggs I gave her... I bet you feel great helping someone to get pregnant!

Last picture I promise because I know we celebrate together but also hard to see others get a bfp. It took 3 years! Here is digital! First appointment July 16. Hoping for a sticky one/ones

 

[Hopethisyear]

Cassie - I am so sorry hun I hope you can get started on your next cycle and the Dr hopefully change up your protocol a bit.

Betty - That is awesome your share lady is pregnant!! You will be too soon

Waiting - Lovely Pregnant line porn my dear!!!! Keep posting away

White - sorry you are feeling to blah. I'm sure it's a mixture of the heat, meds & packing. That would get to anyone. Make sure you are taking a little time for yourself to just sit back with a cool cloth on your neck and relax with a lemonade.

Thanks for all the advice girls. I know that nobody can give me an answer but all your insight is so helpful. We don't get another chance at IVF due to costs so this is it for us. We are leaning towards transferring one and that way we have another one to try again later if it doesn't work. But that's a whole lot more money too after everything else we have spent, so we are up in the air. I guess we have a few weeks to make a decision.

 

[N8ie]

Waiting- congratulations. I'm so happy for you
