May IVF

[Pixie71]

Hi All

Mrs T - 5 eggs is great, we had 4 and only two were viable!!! Best of Luck!

Dilek - the clinic told me of a client who had 1 egg that fertilized and it worked, best of luck!

My test was positive! We are now waiting to let the clinic now and find out about what happens next with the hormones I am taking etc.

Feel tired a lot and actually quite irritable too, is that normal??

 

[Mrs T]

Congratulations Pixie thats great news...... you just mentioned it so calmly in your post!!!

 

[Lilly123]

[latestarter]

Doing the for Pixie!

Congratulations.

Did you take a home pregnancy test, or have you confirmed it with a blood test yet? My clinic has me doing one blood test, then another a week later to make sure all of the levels are increasing properly. I'm guessing you will be doing something similar?

Let us know the numbers! Congratulations again. My has turned out to be a great month so far!

Mrs. T and Dilek - you guys are next!

congrats pixie that is great news

 

[Brambletess]

Big Congratulation to Pixie - that is fantastic news!!

Dilek - one is all you need - hope the transfer goes ok! Will be thinking of you.

Wrightwales - typical to be having hot lushes during this heat wave. Oh how we suffer.

Mrs T - I am so happy this round is going so much better for you. Maybe all the preperation paid iff. Good luck fort the transfer, will also be thinking of you. I hope your Mum is doing OK?

Late starter - we should start a thread in first trimester to discuss our symptoms. Think I may do this, this evening, a thread for the IVF first trimesters! I was freaked out by twinges to start with but now they hardly bother me. They are a good sign apparantly as the uterus is stretching and getting ready. I had a couple of small bleeds as well which was massively stressful but we found out what it was and it was nothing. I only have mid bouts of queeziness and light-headedness and only every other day!! Very early on I had bad guts and indigestion but that has improved but not gone away. Everyone is different but I am with you with feeling psotive about symptoms they are all good and a sign you are still pregnant! I am still amazed and so grateful and still well up from time to time as i can't helieve this time has come for me. I honestly doubted it would at times but for years it has been all I ever wanted.

Does anyome else suffer from hayfever? During IVF and when you are pregnant you are not allowed to take it!!!! I am just a mess in dark glasses with a bright red nose!!

 

[Dilek]

Sorry I have not updated earlier but im really lethargic, all I do is sleep. Im not sure thats the norm but i think its the endo. I really forgot how i use to feel before my zoladex injections. My back hurts, my tummy and also my bowels ouch it hurts to do number 1 and 2. Typicall endo.

Anyways back to the reason for this post.

The FC said that out of the 5 eggs, there were 4 that were immature and not fragmented correctly. They were no good and basically dumped. By law they said they cant even attempt to fertilise them. However I had 1 good egg, a sperm was injected to it and I am glad to report it SURVIVED. Its Perfect its 8 cells and a perfect grade 1. Thats the best embryo anyone could ask for.

I was in tears hearing of this. Our little survivor was put back where it belongs and hopefully we will bring it home one day as a beautiful baby.

FS commented that he was really dissapointed that i had low number of eggs, for 10 folicles i should have had more at least 7. And also of course my eggs are damaged as i predicted. 6 months of uncontrolled endometriosis has done havic to my reproductive system.

Hi everyone!

Mrs. T - how did transfer go. How many made it to transfer? I hope you are feeling ok.

Dilek - I'm so proud of your eggie developing into a lovely embryo. My fingers are crossed for you. The insanity of the tww begins.

Brambletess - I don't have hay fever - but heard it gets worse when you are pregnant. Partially because you can't take much, but also because your membranes are swollen with extra blood circulating in your body. Not sure if that is true or not. I'd love an IVF in 1st tri thread! Count me in if you start it. (I'll go check now!)

I hope everyone else is doing well. Keep us posted!

HI Girls

Pixie and Latestarter - did you have total bed rest for 3 days post transfer? Some books I read say you must have total bed rest for 3 days....is that true?

xxxxx

 

[Mrs T]

Good morning ladies.

I couldnt get onto b&b all day yesterday.... oh how I missed it!

So how are all our pregnant ladies.... Brambletess, Latestarter, Pixie...... ? have I missed any more announcements????


Well....... todays my transfer day, am booked in at 2pm. I've no clue what to expect!
I didnt hear from the lab yesterday beacuse they dont disturb the eggs on day 2. BUT am guessing no news is good news. I've to call at 9 to comfirm its going ahead today.... fingers crossed.

Brambletess... I dont have hayfever either but I saw an advert on tv the other day that might be of intrest for you. It was lloyds pharmacy advertising this prob to put up your nose a couple of times a day, looked a drug free thing. I guess its worth looking into!

Tanya.... I've also read about the 3 day rest post transfer, I'm planning to do it from today. My Dh all geared up to run around looking after me!!!!

Dilek.... am still so excited about your perfect embie...... PUPO.......wowowowowow
I'll be joining you today!

Am so glad baby and bump is working today I missed you guys

Hi Tanya

My clinic said 10 min rest is all that is needed. They advised not to lift anything heavy or not to do streneous activity.

How you feeling?

I did as little as possible for a week! Didnt want to risk it, was off from work from the friday before eggs taken and for a week after the embryos transferred, was great! I was told gentle walking but no strenuous activity or heavy lifting!

Good luck!

Thanks!
Did two tests at home, one they gave us on the friday (1 day early!!!) and a bought one the next day, clinic was closed all over the weekend (bank holiday here). Left a message this morning but no call back yet, I dont know what happens next! Will keep all posted on what happens. I dont know whether it is one or two but had no bleed or initimation that neither had taken, belly a bit bigger already (same with my daughter) and boobs also a bit bigger and a little sore!
