May IVF

[latestarter]

Good Morning All,

Mrs. T - Good luck on Transfer day! How exciting.

Dilek - How are you doing in the 2ww.

Wrightywales - How are you doing?

Tanya - I rested the day of transfer, and went to work the following day. I don't do much other than sit at work so it wasn't a big deal. And my clinic said to take it easy the day of transfer, and no jogging, aerobics, or other strenuous exercises. I went for a lovely walk along the beach the next day too. But everyone should do what they are comfortable with (or not do as the case may be

I'm doing well. I woke up this morning and my breasts are not sore at all. Freaking me out completely. I know- its probably not anything - but I'm really wanting that 2nd blood test to confirm that my levels are rising appropriately. Thursday cannot come to soon.

Have a great day everyone.

[Mrs T]

am officially PUPO

Well our embryologisy was impressed, his report was that we got 6 eggs- 1 was immature and was therefor disgarged. The other 5 were injected with sperm, all of them fertilized. SO today we were able to transfer 2 eggs, grade 2 and a 3. The other 3 fertilized eggs still needed to catch up, so they are keeping them in the incubator for 2/3days with the plan to freeze them if they get to Blastocyst stage. Cant believe I had 100% fertilization.... neither could the DR!

Hi All

Just got a call from my clinic, I've a scan on 19th June, and continue meds until end 12th week, i've also to take a POAS test each week!! And finally,.......... due date is 4th February 2010!!!!!!!

 

[Brambletess]

Pixie - all sounds good

Dilek - Those my dear sound like pregnancy symptoms but it could be the meds too. I think I had constipation the minute the bean implanted as my guts went hay wire way before I even thought about being pregnant. I didn't think it was odd as put it down to the stress of inpending IVF. Its early days though and make sure you rest rest rest right now!!

 

[wrightywales]

Hello ladies

Hope your all ok

Pixie - Congrats again. Good luck for your scan on the 19th. Hope i will be following shortly

Have a few qestions for the ladies who have used menopur in there treatment. Hope you dont mind. How long did you take menopur for? I only have enough for ten days so will that be how long I will take it for? how long before you started feeling the side effects from menopur?

Hi All

Sorry for being such a part time poster, but I have been up the wall over the past week or so. My Dad is going in for ANOTHER op tomorrow, I've been told I will be up for redundancy in the next few weeks and for the first few days of my stimming I was an absolute nightmare. I also don't get home until about 6.45pm during the week and by the time I have walked the pooch and had my tea, I am ready for my bed !!!

Anyway I thought I had better get on here and update. It looks like there has been lots of positive news!! ....

Pixie...CONGRATULATIONS! I am really pleased for you. You must be over the moon!! xxx

Dilek - I hope what you have described are early pregnancy symptoms. Got my fingers crossed for you. Hope you're ok. xx

Mrs T - I'm so glad your embryo transfer went well get plenty of rest and I hope your TWW flies by! Got my fingers crossed for you too! xx

Wrightwales - good luck with the stimming tomorrow. I am on Menopur and also have 10 days worth. The nurse said they will look at my scan on Monday and decide then whether I need to be on it any longer. xxx

I've been stimming for five days now. For the first two days I felt awful. Headaches, feeling sick and NO control over my emotions whatsoever!! I cried all day Monday in work, Tueday was a bit better but I was in a meeting all day and had to concentrate on that. So, I've booked Wed, Thur, Fri as holidays and have spent today doing nice leisurely things. I've walked the dog twice, caught up on my programmes I had on Sky +, had an afternoon nap and done some reading. I'm just about to have a bath and an eary night. The rest has done me good already and I feel alot more relaxed. I've got some niggly pain n my ovaries, but at least I know the drugs are doing their jo!!! I'm at the hospital on Monday for my scan and then, hopefully, I will have egg collection middle of next week!!

Hope everyone is ok.

Hi everyone!

Mrs. T - congratulations on your transfer. What great results. When do you know if you have any to freeze?

Dilek - I was definitely constipated, but not tired. Still not tired (worrried about that a bit) - so hopefully that is a great sign for you. When do you test?

Pixie - February 4 is an excellent day!

Wrightywales and Roobie - good luck with the stimming ladies. Let us know how your first scan goes. And Roobie - I'm sorry to hear about your dad - I hope he recovers soon.

I am freaking out. As usual. My breasts just aren't as sore as they were a week ago - still sore, just not nearly like they were. And I really don't have any other symptoms. Sometimes I feel a bit crampy, and once I was feeling a bit sick - but otherwise I feel fine. My clinic tells me that is normal - and very normal to have symptoms start and stop and there is nothing to worry about. But I can't help it.

Thankfully I get my bloodtest in the morning so I should know more tomorrow night. Maybe I'll start to relax then - but probably not. ARgh.

 

[Mrs T]

hello Ladies

Hope your all well?

latestarted- good luck with todays bloods. When is your 1st scan??

Brambletess- how are you keeping?

Dilek- hope your not feeling so tired today. Any other signs yet?

Wrightywales- good luck with the stimulation injections....I felt that part went by fast..... cant say that about the 2ww!!

Robbie- Hope your dads doing ok, my mums still in hospital so I know how you feel.... its very difficult not to worry. Glad you've taken some time off to relax it will be doing you the world of good.

Am fine, got a mild twingy cramp thing going on.
I've just heard from the lab, our 3 remaining embryos have only gone to 8 cells. They should be blastocysts by now so we've been advised that they wont be able to be froozen.
Poor wee embies
Am a little sad because it would have been nice to have had back up or as my dh said ''an insurance policy''!!
But am putting all my focus on my 2 healthy embies on board.

 

[Dilek]

latestarter -Cant wait to hear about your blood test results, im sure everything is fine.

I think my tiredness is realated to my endometriosis, 1 major symptom is tiredness. But hey i feel alot better today. My official test date is 15th july when ill be like 17 days post EC. That seems far doesnt? I think it should be 12th. I so dont want to test early.

I did lose my job, last day is 31st July. Im not too concerned about it. My mother and brother arrive in London on Saturday, (from Sydney, Australia) they are her for 3 weeks. Cant wait.

Wrightywales and Roobie good luck with your stimming.

Mrs T- what are u upto today. Are you going to explore London today?

 

[Dilek]

Oh Mrs T, we must of been posting at the same time, I missed your post. Im so sorry hun, I know what you mean about having a few frozen ready for next time. But you wont need a next time!!!! We need your PMA back. Sending you a big hug.

You have 2 perfect embies on board, and this cycle has been such a vast improvement to your last. Hang in there girlie, we are going to get our BFPs!!!

 

[Mrs T]

I know (PMA) I wont need any extra embies!!! Especially if its twins this time!!!!

 

[Pixie71]

Hi all

what foods / things should i avoid in prep for IVF?

Is it true that i cant have aspartame.. and no diet drinks..


Any supplements I should take beside prenatal vitamin?

Thanks!!

 

[Mrs T]

Yes, my book say's NSAID's/Ibuprofen can interfere with ovulation but paracetomol is safe to use.
The diet is detoxing the liver so it able to hand the ivf drugs more efficently. The main thing is to cut out caffeine, alcohol, fizzy drinks, salt, processed and sugary foods and smoking... because they prevent the absorbtion of vitamins and mineral that are needed for fertility. Eating healthly, drinking at least 2litres of water daily, eat good proteins approx 60g per day but no red meat.
Its tough but am at the stage I'd do anything!

Hi Tanya
I've copied an old post from early on in this thread.... hope it gives you a better idea... I am very strict about what I eat at the momment, I do believe it help me this time around. I managed to reduce my FSH from 10.8 to 8.2 since my last ivf cycle.
I got a huge list of what not to and whats good to eat from my fertility book.... its been my bible! its called Fertility and Conception by Zita West £14.99 from her web site.
As you know prenatal vits are important and so is esential fatty acids.... they help with egg quility.
Hope this helps x
