Hey Dovkav :wave:
I already wrote back in my journal - but just thought about it ... you have been TTC since 2011, but have only just been on your second vacation ever? You poor things! How come you haven't been able to get away?
Oh, and don't worry about slipping and falling on your butt - that wouldn't bother the baby a bit. Even when you bump your tummy against something, they are so well cushioned in there
I would definitely ring both the doctor's practice as well as the invoicing company to get that cleared up. Something definitely not right and you shouldn't be paying for ICSI if it wasn't done. Awesome results for the DNA fragmentation too!
You were worrying about bad quality sperm for nothing
It may not even have been an implantation issue you were having - I mean in total, if you think about it, you went through 8 cycles. One of which was no eggie ... So 7 cycles - two of which the fertilised eggs didn't develop further than the pronucleous stage ... For the other 5, two of the fertilised eggs were only stage 4 (should be nearer to 8 on day 3) - so were clearly not developing properly - which leaves the other three. Most couples have to try for several months before getting pregnant and I think taking 7 cycles sounds pretty normal. In many cases - it is just not known, because it is not monitored like with AI cases - eggs will get fertilised by the sperm, but they will not develop properly because of genetic defects and it doesn't come to implantation. Based on your statistics, I am sure that the assisted hatching and aspirin and everything else you did upped the chances but I would also maintain, that your statistics support a pretty normal length of time to get pregnant
We had 7 natural w/o stims IVFs.
2 cases of 3 pronucleus embryo was an egg's fault.
what happened to 3 other embryos? My RE and we chose to grow till 2 days our embryos they were good quality.
You are right, bubu about statistics.
we did 7 IVF's with 6 egg retrievals, it may be equal to 6 cycles of a natural TTC, maybe more IUIs when you really catch ovulation, right? ON average it takes one year for a couple to conceive. It took us 7 IVFs, not 12.
It could be just a right time and a lucky healthy month. Aspirin and assited hatching may not did a thing???! we'll never know, my RE just raised her shoulders. She couldn't comment on our lucky BFP.
Sandy, I am so happy your hubby is home. Hoping and praying he is on his healing path. Enjoy your romantic cottage, you guys
bubu, I am sorry about your nightmares. I did have a very colourful dreams which I could clearly remember in my early pregnancy.
I know my hubby since 2005, this is so right that we have had only 2 vacations ever. We had to be close to his father. He had Alzheimers and he needed lots of help.
I called my dr. yesterday. It is a mistake on the bill. ICSI was never done.
Clare, I am super excited for you!
twinklemama, endo biopsy is a good way to go towards your miracle. Good luck. Sending you blessings.
we are well away from saving the required amount but my dad is very kindly going to contribute some and loan us the rest! i am so happy to be given this chance this year as i honestly could not see it happening before next year due to our circumstances. I am hoping and praying that its 4th time lucky and i also hope that my 4 stone weight loss will make a difference as regards my response to the meds as we are opting for 'mild IVF' this time around. They do the ICSI in on the price if needed and its going to cost us £1000 less due to mild doses of drugs. We have reasoned that last cycle although we may of got 7 eggs, only one was adequate enough for ICSI and i was on 8 amps of stimms that cycle so we would rather have 2-3 amps of stimms and get 2 decent eggs. Quality over quantity any day now. So i will soon be joining you ladies again in IVF chat and i pray pregnancy chat
