Waiting to start IVF in January anyone else?

[lizzie78]

Jaybo, I'm so sorry you are having a hard cycle this time but as the other ladies have said it really does only take 1. So hard though when it is you that it is happening to, sending you lots of virtual hugs.

Libby - congrats on the EC, have you had your fertilisation update yet?

Aurora - so rubbish in so many ways! Such a dilemma too, hope they dont put you in the position of worrying that you could have had a better result if you had had a few more days. As you know i'm still sore that my clinic did that to me and so even with a FET it's based on a 3 day embie instead of a blast. With it costing so much money you have to be sure that everything is as right as it can be. Keeping fingers crossed you get the call soon x

ILT - great Beta numbers

Hello to everyone else xxx

 

[Aurora CHK]

Update: STIMMING IS GO! Very low estradiol (same as oestrogen/estrogen) so down-regulation is confirmed, apparently! I'm not arguing. Whoop!!!

We got our demo today for how to mix the vials - hubby failed at first hurdle by forgetting to get the water into the bottom of the vials first so I will be watching him like a hawk tonight! I will also be making sure his 'clean surface' to prepare on meets my standards as I know what he's like, he co-sleeps with our cats and such like (lets them drink out of his water glass etc) and thinks that's all fine so I'm having 'The Fly' visions of getting like a flea egg or something in my injections! Sorry I know that's rank!

 

[Jaybo]

Thanks ladies, you're all wonderful!

Arora - great news you can start stimming! Haha flea egg, that really made my chuckle! I was just reading your update on your downreg scan, it's all so interesting - if only it wasn't happening to us! The process is so complex it's a wonder that anyone ever gets pregnant.

 

[Aurora CHK]

I know, Jaybo! I can barely believe our species survives (although by all the people falling preggo at the drop of a hat around me I know its actually fairly easy in the majority of cases. Lucky sods! )

Aurora, great news! What a dilemma you could have had though, after paying so much you'd think they would work around you!

Had a happy day today, nothing to do with ivf but yesterday an elderly dog had gone missing near where I live, couldnt walk far and was a couple of days away from being put to sleep, it was all on fb and I couldnt bear the thought of him been out in the cold so
Me and dh went out to look, theres a lot of wooded areas near us and everywhere we went there were people with torches looking, after been out for 3 hrs, covered in mud and traipsing through woods in the dark I had to go home
The owner today put a status saying she knows deep down he couldn't have made it through the night but she just wanted him home to wrap him in his duvet and bury him on the garden
Earlier today my notifications were going mad and he had been found alive! He was down my sister's rd where I was at the time painting my baby nieces nursery
Hes now home, wrapped in his duvet warming up, may not be for long but he wont go alone out in the cold, was so happy, the response from people was amazing, about 700 likes on the status so far and everyone went out of their way for a family and dog they didnt know
Just wanted to share this happy news! X

Aurora that is great!!

Man my pelvis hurts.. I hope I'm ready to trigger Saturday. I'm going to be miserable by then.

 

[star25]

Good luck for Saturday mobaby! X

 

[beneathmywing]

Jaybo -- chin up! Your little embie will grow for you!!

Aurora -- Glad you are able to start, yay!!

 

[MoBaby]

Jaybo when will you have transfer? It only takes 1! Sorry you didn't have better results.

 

[Comfycushions]

Aurora, that's great news you've got the go ahead.

Star, isn't it great when something happens to restore your faith in humanity.

Mo not long to go now!

I'm at work and hoping I make it home ok on the slippy snowy roads-sure it'll be fine but I'll be avoiding my usual country roads route. Next scan tomorrow, dreading it.

[Jaybo]

Star - such a cute story!

Mo - sorry to hear you're in pain. Hope you get the go ahead for Sat. So, they've booked me in for a Saturday transfer, if my embie makes it till then. Fingers crossed!

Comfy - Good luck tomorrow, I'm hope you get some good newd. Drive carefully on the snow!

 

[star25]

Good luck tomoro comfy

Thanks ilt, I hope to be following in your footsteps soon!! Those betas sound great!!!

Awww jaybo try to stay positive you've still got one and that's all you need. I'm thinking of you and hoping your embie keeps growing strong. Lots of rest and try to relax. Good luck for Saturday!!

Aurora I don't blame you for feeling that way and I'm glad your hubby is going to speak to them! That's a lot of money, is it isci? Sending hugs, stay relaxed, the success rates are vital to the clinic so they won't take risks with possible success rates I'm sure. And the flea egg

Star that's lovely news!! The owner must be ecstatic! So kind of you to go out looking, it's freezing out isn't it!! No snow here yet! If its coming it can come now or wait, I don't want it stopping me getting to the clinic, where are you being treated??

Comfy good luck at your scan tomorrow.

ILT- that sounds like a great number! very happy for you.
Mobaby- that's a serious amount of eggs. no wonder you feel uncomfortable. Sorry to hear that.
Jaybo- like everyone else has said it does only take 1 egg. I have my fingers crossed for you for Sat. Hope you eggie grows nicely.
Aurora-your experience sounds more complicated than it should be given everything we already have to go through. Glad you got some answers and have started stimming. Mind those flea eggs!!

Beth, Beneath, Comfy- Hope you guys are all doing well
Hi to anyone else I haven't mentioned

AFM- We had 12 eggs fertilised. Will find out in the morning how they are developing and if they will transfer later tomorrow or Monday. Really hoping its Monday as tomorrow will only be day 2 and know they are doing this to suit themselves as they don't open weekends-not sure how much you have to pay to get weekend treatment around here, apparently more than 8,000E
