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

[KrissyB]

Congrats White! So when does the testing commence? Lol

Wanting - best of luck on Monday! I hope the weekend goes by quickly for you.

Wantingbubba! Holy cow, time is finally here! You are going to be pregnant Monday!

WhiteOrchid, yay, you did it! Go little bundles and grow.

Beneath - I had acupuncture from the moment we started our IVF protocol so I guess a few weeks before the retrieval and I loved it. I swear it helped with any side effects from stimming but more so it has kept me calm through the whole process which involved moving out of our house this week as well!!! I definitely recommend it - it's worth a go anyway! I also read a few studies saying ppl that included acupuncture with IVF had a higher success rate. Of course it is completely individual and you might not like it but it's worth trying. My acupuncturist was wonderful and specialized in infertility/IVF issues.

So I have a quick question.... Our embryos were frozen on day 3 however when it came to the transfer we found out the were taken out the day before to check they thawed ok and continued to divide over night (which thankfully they did). Does that mean they are technically day 4 at time of transfer? Or are they still considered day 3? Random I know but something DH and I were discussing and wondering!!

So I had a few very mild cramps last night and some odd pains here and there but so far nothing this morning so just hoping and praying they are getting ready to implant... or at least 1 is! As for testing I have no idea..... the thought of seeing a BFN terrifies me so much but I just don't know if I can hold out til the 28th... I think if I am going to test the earliest will be the 26th but I'll just have to see how I feel at the time....Argh it's so nerve wracking!

Awesome news White.
I would say they are day 4!!

Good luck wanting. It seems to be happening for so many of us.

AFM - confirmed for transfer on Tuesday. Had to tell our CFO (my boss) yesterday as it is half year reporting and my absence was noticeable. It was slightly awkward and he is not a touch feely man at all. He seemed supportive though. Anyway I can't wait for Tuesday. The next stage is finally here.

Krissy are you testing tomrrrow? Bloods

 

[bettybee1]

White - yes techincally you had a day 4 transfer but frozen embies can lag abit so don't be put off if you test early & it's not positive to your dates

Am surprised they froze your embros at day 3 , I literally begged my clinic to do that and they wre strongly advising day 5 as they don't really do day 3... In the end I gave in lol !!

I hope your pains are implantation xxx

 

[bettybee1]

Pecks ! That's fab your transfers set for Tuesday!! Are your embryos blasts ? Xx

 

[N8ie]

White- congrats on being PUPO

Waiting- I'm so happy for you

 

[WhiteOrchid24]

Betty - I have no idea why they froze them on day 3.... Isn't it better to get to day 5?

 

[KrissyB]

White - Congrats on PUPO!! I'd probably say they were day 4 too.

Pecks - Congrats on the transfer day! Yep, tomorrow is bloods. I'm a bit nervous because while hpts have gotten a little darker since Tuesday, I would have thought they'd have gotten a lot darker by now... So hopefully everything is still going well

Congrats on xfer, White! Here's something that might help answer your question: https://www.ivf.com/blastocyst.html

Woohoo, for transfer, Pecks!


I had my acupuncture today, I loved it! This lady is a gem and knows her stuff. I am glad I decided to go! Also glad I left my old Re, because she was NOT happy with the protocols he had me on. Ahh, you live & learn.

 

[Lalala8]

Had my transfer today!!! We were supposed to go on Sunday, but because of how the embryos were developing they had us come in today. I would have liked to wait until Sunday because I hear 5 day blasts have a better chance, but my doc seems hopeful.

They already set me up for a blood test the 26th, so will hopefully know by then!

 

[beneathmywing]

Yay, Lala! You are PUPO!

 

[KrissyB]

Lala - Congrats on being PUPO!!

 

[Renaendel]

Grats lalala, you transferred 2?

 

[Hopethisyear]

Aloha Ladies! Sorry I haven't been by the last few days, it's been a crazy week and I needed a few days to collect my thoughts on where we are in this whole IVF process.

Lala & White - Congrats on being PUPO!!!!!

Beneath - I'm so glad you liked acupunture. I love doing it now and can't wait until my next appointment.

Pecks - Exciting your transfer is coming up on Tuesday.

Waiting - That's great you got to see the heartbeat :happy dance:

MrsL - I hope you are getting some rest!

Happy Friday all....What are everyone's plans?

I cant wait either lol! How often do you go?

Not anything fun planned here this weekend, catching up on house chores and work!! Hope everyone else has a more exciting weekend.

 

[Lalala8]

Grats lalala, you transferred 2?

We went with 3... we're ok with multiples, and hoping to up the odds!

 

[WhiteOrchid24]

Congrats Lala!! That's great.... so were you a day 3 transfer? That's interesting that they are testing you on the 26th... I have to wait til the 28th but have already decided most likely I will do a HPT on the 26th.... I think that's as long as I can wait!!

Thanks for all of the support and encouragement ladies Having a lovely chilled out weekend as technically we're on holiday so taking DS swimming (although I can't go in ) and have family and friends coming to visit each day so sun, beach days and relaxing! Perfect! Have a great weekend ladies x

Beta was 28 and I think today's hot was lighter than before. I go in again on Monday but I have very low expectations.
