Sarah - yes, I did know they were going to do ICSI. My doctor explained their approach as being more "agressive", in that they do ICSI for all IVF's. Which I know has pro's and con's, but they do have really good success rates!
 
my doctor only does icsi as well which i'm glad, because my dh has low morphology, which my RE said isn't an issue, but it still makes me feel better..
 
Arimas, I know women who have bled and still had a normal pregnancy. I was told not to freak out if it happens and I know my sister bled for the first couple months of her second pregnancy and her little girl is now 7!

Ikle, we had our transfers on the same day! It is too early to tell so don't get upset. We aren't going for our beta until the 18th (Dr. wanted us to wait a bit longer than usual). POAS tests are evil! I have 8 in my bathroom calling to me, but so far I have resisted the urge.

Baby dust and sticky vibes to everyone!
 
Thanks for the support everyone :hugs:

I go for my beta today :test: and get the results tomorrow :mail:

I am trying to stay positive as the bleeding has now become a dark brown discharge (sorry tmi) but its not AF which makes me feel better.

Take care everyone and good luck with all the u/s, blood work, retrievals, and transfers...

Fx'd!! Can't wait to hear you results.
 
Good luck Arimas

Quick update from me, we got our first ever :bfp:
This is our second ICSI.

Never give up hoping x
 
Congrats Traskey!!!

Babydrms - i see from your signature that you still have 11 embryos and are doing a 5 day transfer, so things must be going well. yay
 
Congrats Traskey! Best of luck Arimas!

AFM, been chilling at home since transfer on Sunday. Today is 2dp3dt...was crampy yesterday, today just super tired and of course sore boobs from the Ovidrel and the endometrium...did I mention I dislike the suppositories. I want the time to flyyyy by, been on the internet checking out all these blogs and reading about the journeys, heartache, and money these women take to becoming a mom, so inspirational.
 
Hi ladies
I haven't posted since early in january but to update I was on 150mg of gonal f, produced 11 follicles, had 9 eggs collected (on Friday) of which eight fertilised. Today, five days later, six were going strong so I've had two 5AA embryos transferred and the others frozen. I don't know what 5AA means (have been avoiding google) but I hope it's good. Now the waiting game!

Do you have any tips to maximise implantation chances? Is exercise and coffee a no go?

Congrats to all the BFPs already - we're in the Chinese year of the dragon which apparently is very auspicious. Fingers crossed it brings us all luck this year.
 
Ugh, having a ho hum day. My belly doesn't feel very good and I have had a sour stomach all day. First day back to work since retrieval and I had to leave - sick. I am laying with my legs up, drinking gatorade and protein shake, I really hope this isn't ohss. I don't have pcos, but I did have a lot of follies and high estrogen. ugh. feeling really crappy.

Hang in there sweetie! You're doing all you can to help with any mild OHSS if that is what you are experiencing. Eat lots of protein and drink more gatorade, V8 juice and have some salty foods - insert excuse to eat salt and vinegar chips here! Friday is just around the corner and you'll be PUPO in no time!!

Ugh, wish I could stomach chips. I just had some saltines with my protein shake. I think I am going to take tomorrow off of work too. Just wiped out.

It may be a wives tale but eating the core of pineapple for 5 days starting on the day of your transfer, as well as walnuts ....

As for caffeine and exercise - I would say NO to both. Coffee in moderation is suppose to be fine but definitely I would avoid exercising!
 
Hi Ladies,

I just got the call and the result is :bfn:

I was bleeding more since last night so I knew the call wouldnt have good news. I am glad the RE called and not the nurse, the RE did explain to me since we are using sperm from tissue (extracted from TESE done last October) that the growth of embryos has a less chance but does happen. I will take a month off to relax and save up for round 2. We will try again I hope around April.

Thank you to everyone in this thread for all of your support, I would have gone crazy if I wasnt able to vent/discuss and share my experience with everyone. :hugs: I will still read this thread to see how everyone else is doing. I hope everyone gets their :bfp:
