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

[GettingBroody]

Kathy... I agree with Mo, couldn't they put one back now anyway and let the rest develop further and be frozen? If it sticks then yay and if not you can do the FET like they're planning now? Did they say how many of them are still developing?

 

[PRAYIN4BABIES]

I'm honestly confused and always come up with the questions after I get off the dam phone....She told me that all 14 embryos are ongoing but have not reached the blast stage just yet, that they want one more day. She said to stop all of my medications and that they will give me a call tomorrow letting me know how many have reached blast...she sounded positive but I just feel she was trying to be nice to me since she was not my normal nurse (mine is on vacation as usual).

I really need to stay off google as it is just making me more and more upset...I keep reading that slow developing embryos are most likely to be abnormal..I just don't know what or who to believe anymore....

 

[bubumaci]

Oh Kathy! I am so desperately sorry to hear that today's transfer has been cancelled! I read the posts before I made my way home and started feeling guilty for being so happy about my news I was thinking about why they might want to do the cryo try next month instead of this one (and transferring a Morula, as Mo suggested) - didn't you want to have the PID done? For that, the embryos have to be blasts, which is why they will want to take them one day further ... and they wouldn't do day 7 transfers (that was the reason you would have been a day 6 transfer, isn't it, because today they would have done the testing). So if they make blasts tomorrow, they will get tested and then frozen for next month's transfer I don't want to worry you, but it is true, the embryos that are slower developing are less likely to be successful .... but less likely doesn't mean unlikely! There are many many pregnancies from Morula transfers or even "many-celled" ... or sixth day blasts (like Lindsay was), so please don't worry too much! I will keep all fingers and toes crossed for you, that you get much more positive and exciting news tomorrow xxx


AFM: I am over the moon to announce, that I have two perfect blasts on board (A- is the grade they were given)! I couldn't believe it when the doctor said that we had two such perfect embababies to transfer! One is still going (was a Morula today) and if it keeps going, could be frozen tomorrow. Oh - and I asked whether they managed to use DH's second sample, and they did - they didn't have to thaw a straw!

Thank you for your prayers ladies! Please, if you can, keep going with sending the (I loved the bucket!!!) ... first beta is in 6 days xxx

Kathy I agree they should transfer the best ones tomorrow anyway. Many pregnancies result from non blasts. Think of all the three day transfers where they aren't developed to blasts. So much can change each day. I hope you do get some great frosties. I think I'd call my RE to discuss further.

 

[Jenn76]

Bubu So happy for you!!! Congrats!!!

 

[MoBaby]

Bubu!! Congrats!!

 

[PRAYIN4BABIES]

Congrats Bubu

 

[GettingBroody]

Bubu - fantastic news!!! Congrats on being PUPO with twins!

Kathy - is there any way you can speak to the RE directly before you stop your meds? Isn't there a chance one (or two!) will be a blast by tomorrow and you could still transfer then? Or is it to do with the testing like Bubu said? I'm sure your head must be in a spin but if you feel you have more questions then ring the clinic back and make sure you're clear on what's going on. We pay enough for this treatment so a few minutes on the phone shouldn't be too much to ask!

 

[bubumaci]

Oh - and I completely agree with Getting!! I hate that all the questions pop up after we get off the phone / leave the doctor's office! (Happens to me all the time too ... probably because I always have so many questions)... Ring them back and ask why / what the plan is etc. etc. Like getting says, after everything we put into these treatments, you should feel that you fully understand what is going on, what they are doing and why - and if you don't, then they should take the time to explain it until you do!!! Sending you HUGE hugs and strength and hope and prayers

 

[PRAYIN4BABIES]

I paid for PGD and I am most certain that is the reason....but to be honest I don't want to spend all that money to do PGD testing if only one is viable by tomorrow....for that I want to do another cycle and then test more if I have any. Again, she said they are all still looking good (all 14) but they wanted to take it one day further....like I said it is what it is..just a shitty situation....

I am just worried they will say none made it.

 

[bubumaci]

Hmm - I totally get that But if she sounds confident that they are all doing OK and they just want to take them one more day... All 14 little embababies are in my thoughts, that they develop into budding, beautiful blasts - and that they kick ass in the testing tomorrow!!!

 

[azlissie]

Congrats on a great transfer, Bubu! I'm so happy for you. Sending you sticky baby dust by the ton!!

Kathy, I hope your embies develop well & can be tested & frozen. Keeping my fingers crossed for you!

 

[Stinas]

bubu - I am over the moon for you!!! Congrats on being PUPO!!!

Kathy - WTF?!!?!! That really pisses me off! I don't understand why they wouldn't transfer tom. They could always tell you if they survive tom is the day…if they don't, you know the drill. I hate when they leave you hanging! I hope you have a ton tom!!! Don't be discouraged!…FET's work!

 

[Tella]

Babu - Just wanted to pop in and say congrats on the beautiful blasts you have on board!!!!! PUPO is gonna turn to PREGO Keeping everything crossed for you (well not my legs as im O week ) and success this time!!!

Praying, So sorry for the disappointing news but with 14 still growing you are bound to have quite a few that will be normal. Its very rare that you hear so many still growing till 5DPO and i think the risk of implantation window being narrower due to development, is why they rather do a FET.

Hopefully you will all be grads by they time i consider IVF again next year Sept.

 

[honeycheeks]

Bubu - I have never been happier to hear you are PUPO with 2 beautiful blasts. I pray they both stick and you have double blessings this Christmas. Just 6 days to test date. Woah bubu that isn't too far away

Kathy - I would be nuts if they simply cancelled my transfer. How I wish you could somehow have the transfer tomorrow. I don't understand the reasons for cancelling. Its insane. I hope you get more answers from your RE.

 

[bubumaci]

Thank you Tella + Honey!

Kathy ... Sweetie ... have you heard something?

 

[PRAYIN4BABIES]

Thank you Tella + Honey!

Kathy ... Sweetie ... have you heard something?

Nope not yet.....guess they feel since transfer canceled they can call me whenever......I even tried calling the nurse that I spoke to yesterday but of course I only get the voicemail .....guess I just have to wait. I stayed home from work today because I couldn't be there when they call me...a nervous wreck!

 

[bubumaci]

Oh man, that is really bad! I am so sorry that they are behaving like this! TTC the way we have to is a nerve-wrecking experience enough on the best of days - the clinics really should have more understanding! I totally get you staying home from work! I wish I could just put my arms around you and hold you tight!! I am keeping my fingers crossed that they don't make you wait much longer!!

AFM - got the message this morning that they decided against freezing the last embie - due to poor quality.

 

[Stinas]

Kathy - That sucks!! Pisses me off! We spend all this $$…we deserve to be top priority at all times.

BUBU - Did you get to freeze any?

PS…..I feel movement!!! Got a couple swift kicks last night! Super cool! Nothing like a butterfly feeling IMO…more like little taps!

 

[bubumaci]

Well, I still have one frosty from February - but no, from this batch, none. Yesterday they weren't sure whether they would be able to freeze the one that was still going (out of the six doing well on Saturday, by yesterday, two made it to blast and the other was a morula ... they transferred the blasts and wanted to see whether they could freeze the other one today) - but they decided against it because it wasn't good enough.

Yay for movement How mega-exciting
