IVF until we all get our bfp! 2012-present *13 w/twins & 1 w/triplets!*

[MrsC8776]

Prayin, I'm SO sorry!

Jchic, wow congratulations!

Sorry to not do more personals, but my kiddos are working quietly for a few minutes so I wanted to let you know my update.

Nurse just called, of my 11 eggs 5 of them fertilized. I would have loved it if more did, but I am VERY happy with those 5. Last time 3 of 5 fertilized, but only 2 developed. Hopefully I'll get at least 2 out of these 5. She said she would call back later to let me know if I will be doing a day 3 or day 5 transfer. Either way, they will be adding assisted hatching to this cycle.

Great report!

I have been reading about stories about the vanishing twin and while most say the other baby is just fine I am starting to worry.. I am a mess today and can't focus on work. I just want the one baby to hold on tight since I am really upset about the one that did not make it. Sorry for venting!

Feel free to vent anytime. I'm sure this is a very mixed emotion time for you right now. I'm so sorry you have to worry about this. I do believe the other baby will be just fine. Please try to believe that and stay strong for your little one. When is your next appointment?

 

[jchic]

want - your baby is just fine. please try not to worry, ok?

 

[Lindsay18]

Want- I totally understand your worry!! When do you go in again? Try to be positive and stop reading that stuff!!!

 

[wantbabysoon]

Thanks ladies... Lindsay, you sounded exactly like my husband there... that's exactly what he yelled at me "Stop reading that stuff"....
My appointment with the OB is on 16th Oct but I am not sure if I get a scan that day so I called my RE and they said they would see me again next week to make me feel better.. So I go in to see my RE on 9th .. They probably think I am a mad woman at my RE's office but I would go crazy until 16th so whatever

 

[Lindsay18]

Hahaha! See?! We make sense I'm so glad!!! I go to my OB the 9th

 

[jchic]

Want - glad you are seeing your RE. Sometimes its best to get checked out just for peace of mind. So glad to hear all is ok

 

[wantbabysoon]

It's so funny how before every appointment i think... once this appointment is done I will feel better.. Here I am .. 2 days after my last appointment and already freaking out!! When will this stop? I just wanna enjoy a normal pregnancy..

 

[Pink gerbera]

Want I'm sure your baby is absolutely fine. Please try not to worry A scan next week will make you feel better I'm sure xx

 

[Pink gerbera]

And I think it's totally normal to be a nervous wreck between scans! I am xx

 

[bubumaci]

BOMO - that sounds promising ... and has she called back yet?

Want - your worries are perfectly natural - it is very difficult not to obsess. I do hope that your RE can put your mind at rest

 

[GettingBroody]

Want - so glad you're able to go in sooner than the 16th. It's totally normal that you would be worried but knowing its normal doesn't make it easier to cope with I'm sure! And I agree with Lindsay and your dh - step away from Google!!!!

She called back to let me know she will call me tomorrow to let me know when the transfer will be. Should I be concerned that they don't know? Last time I only had 2 fertilize so I knew right away it would be a day 3 transfer. Would it be better to do a day 5 transfer? The nurse yesterday confused me about the days. She said if one or two are shown to be the best right away they would do a day three but if they can't tell yet they would do a day 5 transfer. I thought if they were all developing normally it would be a day 5 but if they weren't doing as well it would be a day 3. Which is it?

 

[GettingBroody]

As far as I understand it one of the main advantages of a 5 day is that it gives the strong embryos some extra growing time to get a bit ahead of the other ones so they can be picked out easily. I suppose if 1 or 2 are very obviously ahead at day 3 then they mightn't see any point in keeping them out of their natural environment for longer. I wouldn't be a bit worried that they haven't decided yet - a day is a long time in the life of a tiny embryo! My FS didn't decide until day 3 that they would be putting them back that day...

 

[bubumaci]

"A day is a long time in the life of a tiny embryo" ... that made me smile

 

[Jenn76]

Omg. I can barely type i am so in shock. Went for scan today and their are two gorgeous babies...dr morris was in shock. Said she hadnt missed a twin in 4 years.

Baby a is measuring at 8 weeks 5 days and hb of 169bpm
baby b is measuring at 8 weeks 2 days and hb of 172bpm

both are healthy and perfect!

Wow. Life is crazy!

OMG! This is amazing news! I am so happy for you! Congrats!

Jess - CONGRATS on your twins...OMG I am so happy for you

Angie - I am glad this cycle is going good for you! FX'ed that you get your BFP from this one

I know I haven't been keeping up much on this thread, but I have been reading and I am so happy for everyone that got their BFP! My last failed cycle was really hard for me; one failed, you pick up and move on, but after multiples you start to wonder if this will work for you!? I finally got AF this morning in full gear, so we are picking up the pieces again and starting #3 for a November retrieval/transfer. Hopefully for me, third times a charm!

Glad to hear you are on your way again, third time will be it for you.

Hi everyone....I have bad news ..not sure why....but I ended up having a miscarriage last night..broken hearted is not even the word. I knew something was wrong because I just didnt feel good.

Hopefully I will be able to start again. So happy for everyone that has their BFP's and is looking good...for the rest of us...we will keep our heads high and try again. I know some day I will be a mommy again. God has my back. Xoxoxoxo

Kathy I am so sorry to hear this I hope you can start again soon. We all have your back too!

Prayin, I'm SO sorry!

Great news! They left me till day three in order to decide if it would be three or five days. Usually they want to see how many cells they are by then. I'm sure you will hear tomorrow.

I have been reading about stories about the vanishing twin and while most say the other baby is just fine I am starting to worry.. I am a mess today and can't focus on work. I just want the one baby to hold on tight since I am really upset about the one that did not make it. Sorry for venting!

I was reading too much in the beginning of my pregnancy and it made me question everything I would feel. I had to stop because it was driving me insane. I'm still totally nervous and will be this whole pregnancy. I know it has to be worse for you after what you went through but you do have a strong bean there. All of your scans showed that and you said yourself that the doctor seemed worried about baby b at each of them. A is a survivor, and will be your forever baby.

Praying: I am so so sorry

Jchic: I am so happy for you! I want twins so badly

bomo= i didnt know til i was driving in day 3 that we were doing day 5. as others have said the point to waiting is to see which are the best. there is no advantage to day 5 other than you may have sorted out which are the strongest embryos. i had 8 8-10 cell embies on day 3 by day 5 i had 4 grade 1 embies. Wouldn't have know which of those 8 were going to become those 4.. but likely any of the 8 would have been fine but why not see which is best if you have that luxury. stats dont show a difference in success rates between day 3 and day 5. so dont worry

wanna- totally. you are gonna end up reading peoples neg stories cause that is what they think to post on. chances are fabulous that everything will be just fine. I know this isnt the same thing at all but selective reduction is carried out later and the surviving babies do fine the vast majority of the time. This early the 2nd will likely disappear completely (as hard as that is to think about). Even with later ones I have read successive followup us watching the surviving twin and it does fine. That being said, us is harmless and it is always fun to see the babies especially when they are so small cause they are so active.

dont be sorry for venting that is half the reason bnb exists in my mind!! LOL
