Congrats Alika on the fert report. That's fantastic.

Sorry Bubu. Hope the pains stays away till after your trip.

Hey everyone

 

[MoBaby]

Yay Stinas!! Congrats!!

 

[MrsC8776]

Swepakepa: Congrats on twins!!!!!!! We have a GM Terrain right now and a Civic. I plan on getting a second SUV once it makes sense to trade in the Civic.

Honey: Good luck with your ER!!!!

MrsC: I go to all appointments alone but I will get my mom to come next time for sure!

AFM: Emma slept throught the night last night!!!! First time ever!!! I know it's early to get excited but she has never even come close to doing that before so it gives me hope that it can eventually happen. Chris is still waking up twice a night but hopefully he goes back to STTN again soon.

Great news that Emma slept through the night!!

... when it rains it pours! Over the past couple of months, I have had three "attacks" in the night, where I have been in pain for several hours. After thinking about it, I remembered that Mama, Jajó (her Mother) and my cousin on the maternal side all had had (with the exception of my Grandma) their gallbladders out around my age. So - after DH begged me to make a doctor's appointment after the last attack (which was Saturday - Sunday night - the one before had been before my third blood test, where I was up for about 4,5 hours in pain) - which I did yesterday and I went in for the ultrasound this morning. The verdict : my gallbladder is nicely full of gallstones and I will have to have it out ... appointment with the specialist in the hospital on Thursday morning. Didn't want to have the OP before this weekend, as we are flying to Budapest Friday - Sunday to be with my Grandma for her 101st birthday on Sunday.

... wanna know what my first thought was? That is why I wasn't allowed to stay pregnant ... Mama and Granny wanted me to have my gallbladder out beforehand ... but wanted to show me that we can get pregnant... guess they knew what they were doing after all!

So sorry to hear about the pain you are in. Hopefully you can get it taken care of ASAP so that you can be pain free.

Back from ER. 10 eggs. Still groggy. More when im out of bed

Congrats on 10 eggs!

And the numbers are in!! 1375!!!!
Ultrasound is next thursday 9/12

Great second beta! Can't wait to hear about your scan!

Buba, that's horrible. My mum suffered something terrible till she had hers out. Hope everything goes really well.

Stinas, I'm so pleased! Bet you can't wait till your scan, I'm keeping everything crossed for you hubby you deserve it.

Honey, glad ec went well. Hope your feeling better now, 10 eggs is fantastic!

Allika 20 eggs fertilised is simply amazing. Hopefully you'll get lots in the freezer too!

Afm, I'm still doing ok, although I'm bloated a lot of the time. Still can't believe how lucky I am, my 20 week scan is less than 3 weeks, and randomly the hospital booked me in on my. Birthday - how cool is that.

Love to all, sorry I don't post as much as I would like - seems I have to read about 10 pages every time I get on, and then get puzzled over who is where! X x x

I look forward to your update about the scan! What a great birthday present.

Thanks guys! I was pretty amazed too! We did ICSI on all of them because our clinic only does ICSI no matter what!
The only thing that sucks is that I won't get an update until the day of transfer!

I still hurt from the transfer but it has gotten better...just urinating hurts like crazy!

Congrats on 20 eggs fertilized! That is such great news!

Sekky~ How are you doing? Any updates?

 

[bubumaci]

Stinas - way to go girl, what fantastic numbers!

Honey - well done!! Now relax and recuperate. FXd for great fertilisation results!

Allika - that's how it is here too - I only find out when I am in the room ready for the transfer!

... FXd that I have no more attacks and that they can remove everything well. Interested to see what the professor says on Thursday. Bit miffed that I would much prefer having an ultrasound picture of a baby - instead, I have an ultrasound picture of my gallbladder, full of stones... Had to laugh though! At 21, picture of a breast tumour... 38, picture of lots of stones... hopefully, once that is all gone and done with, I will get my ultrasound picture of a perfect bean

 

[Lindsay18]

Holy cow I had a lot to catch up on!!
Stinas- official yay on here!!! Love ya!!! And the little nugget(s)!!!

Bubu- so sorry about the gallbladder!!! Love your positive outlook!

Hi everyone! Sorry I can't do more personals- got rear ended the other day ugh. Not too bad- waiting for the lady to call me about my estimate. She's hoping to not go through insurance. I don't care as long as my car gets fixed. It's only 5 months old!!!! Lol. Will be back on after phone call xoxo

 

[honeycheeks]

bubu - Sorry to hear about your gall bladder. Get well soon honey. We got to do some baby making then.

Allika - 20 embies is awesome. EVen my clinic doesn't update after the fertilisation report until the transfer.

Stinas - Those are some awesome numbers. Can't wait for the scan already.

AFM - I was in a lot of pain since yesterday morning even before I checked in at the clinic. I thought my OHSS is just getting worse. But doctors and nurses assured me that I was doing better than last time. I was in so much pain that I didn't believe them. I had 10 eggs collected which they said was the best in my condition. More eggs could mean higher risk of OHSS and also last time I had 28 eggs but many turned out to be poor quality. Doctor says that the quality improves when the numbers are few. We shall see.

After ER I could hardly get out of my hospital bed. I was in excruciating pain. After getting home I realised I had trapped wind and that causes all the pain. I cant seem to get it out of the way. I could pass some gas and it was the most painful thing I ever did in my life. I wish I could do something about the gas and I could feel a lot better. Today by noon I call in to know the fertilisation report. I hope we have good number with just 10 eggs.

So today Im resting up and drinking lots and lots of fluid. I have been asked to keep an eye on urine output. If it is too low , OHSS could be around. But my doctor thinks I can definitely do a transfer this cycle. Last time around it was cancelled straight away after EC. So yay for ET. And this time around I was prescribed Crinone gel instead of Cyclogest suppositories. I find it easier to use and saved me a ton of money.

I guess I didn't mention earlier but I had a different RE this time. I didn
t think much about it earlier as I thought its gonna make no big difference. BUt so far there has been a difference. Lets see how it goes. I am feeling a lot positive about this cycle.

Allika: Congrats on 20 eggs that is fantastic!

Honey: Congrats on 10 eggs that's a great number as well! Can't wait to hear a fert report. Rest up hope the pain passes soon.

Stinas: Fantastic second beta!!! Can't wait to hear about your scan!

Lindsay: Sorry to hear about your accident, glad everyone is ok. Hopefully your car gets fixed with little hassle.

Bubu: Next ultrasound will be more memorable as it will be of your little bean! FX!

Likkle: Wow time flys! Good Luck with your 20 week check up. Will you find out the gender?

 

[honeycheeks]

Just called the lab now. 9/10 fertilized. That's awesome. Need to call again tomorrow to discuss the quality and the transfer date. Everything has been happening so quick this cycle. I can't believe it's almost PUPO time. I am still sore but its not nearly as bad as last time. Fingers crossed! !

Alika do you know the transfer date yet. Good luck for transfer.

Linds - I hope no one was hurt and you get your car fixed soon.

 

[bubumaci]

Honey - that's wonderful news - thrilled for you! Now just relax for four days and PUPO you will be

Linds - that's crap that you were rear-ended! Glad that nothing serious has happened!!

 

[MoBaby]

That's gretat honey!!

 

[Allika]

Hi,

@Honey: yes, my transfer date is tomorrow! I am nervous like crazy! I hope they will really transfer one, all this time I find myself on the expect the worst, hope for the best side...

 

[Jenn76]

Allika: Good luck with your transfer! I'm sure you will have some great blasts to choose from. Usually if they have concerns with the embryo quality and survival they would call you in for a day 3 transfer since you haven't heard anything I'd assume it's good news!

Honey: Great fert report, congrats!!! FX you get a good report again tomorrow!

 

[Stinas]

Honey - Thats GREAT!!

Lindsay - grrr!!! I hate other drivers!!!

Allika - Good luck with ET tom!!!

 

[anmlz86]

Hello ladies! My goodness there's so much to catch up on! Sorry can't do personals at the moment, taking my "smoke break" at work. Quick question though. Has anyone taken 3mg melatonin before bed and had any side effects? For the past few days I've had sporadic headaches and nausea after I eat. Just saw it on a list of supplements CCRM typically suggested and that's one of the meds I had in the house, my dog takes it lol. Just curious, thanks ladies! Have a happy hump day!!

 

[Likklegemz]

Quick one from me Allika good luck with transfer today! X x x

 

[bubumaci]

Jepp - wanted to pop on quickly before going to the hospital (just to discuss things with the professor) ... Good Luck

 

[honeycheeks]

Allika good luck for transfer.
I called the lab today and they didn't tell me much. As I said they don't ddiscuss much regarding embryo quality. I was told we would do a day 4 or day 5 transfer. I hope they survive till then. Is a day 4 transfer any better than day 5 transfer. Any thoughts ladies.

 

[MoBaby]

Allika gl w/ transfer!

Bubu gl at your appt! Hope all goes well and they think it's an easy fix!

 

[bubumaci]

Heyho ... so on Monday I have to have a gastoscopy ... but the doctor was pretty certain that the answer will still be that I have to have my gallbladder out - so we have already made the operation appointments. Thursday I have to go in for the pre-discussions (with Anaesthesiologist + with the doctor) and on Friday at 7 I have to be there, so that I can have the Cholezystektomy in the morning. So - Operation on Friday the 13th. When I grimaced at the date, he said that they had luck on Friday the 13ths

So far 13 (2013) has been pretty crappy for me ... let's hope that doesn't continue next week Friday!

 

[PRAYIN4BABIES]

Bubu....my prayers are with you Everything will work out perfect.

Good Luck Allika!!!!

How are you feeling Stinas?

How is everyone else doing??? Miss you ladies
