Hey ladies. Fertilization report is in.19 eggs were mature, 4 didn't fertilize (boo), 3 were abnormal and 12 are left! So we have 12 embryos growing now. I hope hope hope those keep going strong! Plan is for Monday but obviously if something changes than we will go Saturday. I was hoping for around 16 but 12 is good. I've never had some that just didn't fertilize with icsi so this is new for me.
12 is great Mobaby! Congrats!
MrsC, Jenn, and Kelly. . . how are you all feeling these days? Your little ones being nice to you all?
AFM. . . I am just waiting to start. I am hopeful about this cycle. It will be a little harder being back at school this time but thats what subs are for.

Hi Bomo, I'm feeling better this week. Thanks for asking. This cycle will be your BFP! Family before work always. So glad that you are starting again. FX for you!
Hi,
I'm home resting
transferred two this morning!!!! One small hiccup because I was tense and he was only able to insert one before sending me out to the bathroom because I had to pee so bad! sorry for the info. The second embryo ended up being sucked back and only released the one.....so after I can back and jumped back on the table he was able to transfer the second
....Never a dull moment with me as my family would say....lol....I was just a bit worried after if that would lower my chances but I guess I will find out on 9/21... I am crampy though...and thirsty! Enjoy your day my fabulous IVF/IUI family!
Congrats on being PUPO! I had to pee really bad too and they wouldn't let me pee at all. To make it worse the doctor was late and they were pushing the ultrasound wand so hard on my bladder. I totally thought I was going to leak all over him. At the end he said you can rest for five minutes or you are free to go, I jumped up and ran for the bathroom. I'm sure they wouldn't let you up if it would have complicated things.
Thanks Jenn and Lindsay
You ladies do cheer me up! Can't wait for Monday!! Waiting for the first scan has been harder than the 2ww for me!!
I know how you feel my first scan was at 8 weeks, such a long wait, I knew it was BFP after 5 days so not nearly as long of a wait. Monday will be exciting. I'm off work so plenty of time to stalk. I'm so excited for you guys.
AFM - went for a scan today and there is one twinkie! They saw a gestational sac that was alittle small, but not by much. No yolk sac or fetal pole yet. Back on Sunday to rescan for the yolk sac as my RE said at 5weeks and 2/3 days, its still too early and we may not see that just yet! Praying all is ok on Sunday.
Congrats Jess! My clinic doesn't scan until 8 weeks for that reason, they say it is more stress on the parents since it is often to early. I'm sure you will see more next scan.
Jchic - congrats!
AFM - I'm 10dpiui today, I've been having cramps here and there and my boobs/nipples are very sore but I'm trying not to look into in too much because these are things that normally happen to me right before AF. I had a huge scare yesterday regarding my dog Rupert, he wasn't acting like himself so we took him to the vet they did an x-ray of his belly because the doctor said his stomach felt not right and it looked like he had two square objects in there, so we took him home, (they wanted to see if he would pass whatever it was) he was acting like his normal crazy self all night which was good. We went this morning for follow up x-rays and they didn't see anything ... totally weird. The doctor said that since they couldn't see anything to take him home, watch him carefully, like his bowel movements and to make sure he was still his normal self and to feed him chicken and rice for about a week ... so I've been so worried with that all night. Happy to know that he is okay. They thought they were going to have to do surgery, but I'm so glad they didn't!
Ash so glad puppy is okay. I had a friend that her dog ate rocks and it cost $2000 for surgery. Not great to have right before IVF. My cat got sick during this process and I spent close to $2000 as well trying to save her but it failed. So hard, and very devastating, fur babies are so important to me. Let's hope those signs are not AF. FX!
Want and Pink - Same here! Boobs were sore then went away now back again LOL! No MS yet (thank goodness) - pretty much the same as you!!
Yes, I have another scan next Thursday and then the Thursday after that!!!
I'm so jealous too! I ordered a Doppler on Monday because I want to hear a heartbeat before 12-13 weeks. I'm not sure how hard that will be with twins. It's supposed to be here tomorrow, super excited.
Prayin- you should totally go to the game. Those embies are gonna stick or they aren't. I know that sounds neg but to me it is pos. it is nothing we do or don't do. I went straight to court after my transfer. No rest. Didn't do the gym but only cause I was in excruciating pain from the pio shots. Live your life!!
Afm- ah weirdness of pregnancy. Learned a new one. Don't sneeze lying on your back. About the most excruciating pain (other than the pio
) across the top of my pubic bone. Did that to myself once before when I laughed lying on my back. So weird.
I rolled funny and it felt like a Charlie horse in my stomach. Every time I feel a sneeze I worry about it. How are the headaches?
Good luck on Sunday!
