Congrats!!! They didn't tell you how many are still growing? Must be a lot!

 

[MoBaby]

No, they are very generic with their information. They said everybody looks good, be here Saturday. So I think most of them must still be going. I hope so!

Great news, Mo!

Mo, you'll be PUPO in 3 days!!! woohoo. I am sure they are confident that there will be some to transfer on Saturday. I asked the nurse on the transfer day if we had any embies to transfer since we didn't have any news after day 3. She said that there would always be an embie or two to transfer if they told you to go in a certain time for transfer. Otherwise, they wouldn't do it or they wouldn't bring the embies to day 5 .

Jaybo I've been thinking the same, I've been pregnant twice and I knew before I tested because of how I felt as the hormones flooded through me! So I think ill know before otd or before I poas, even though ill keep hoping! I would say though that each pregnancy is different symptom wise, my first pregnancy I had a bright red implantation bleed, very sore boobs and lots of cramping to the point I assumed I'd pulled muscles in the gym both in my tummy and under my arms/chest area, second pregnancy, felt icky but none of the previous things happened so I worried I was out!!

Star, complete ordered me enough progesterone until my otd but said if pregnant I would take it until 7 weeks which is when they do the early scan, so maybe the same for you?

Comfy, try to stay positive sweet. Ill be happy if I get 4 eggs, I'm paranoid in case I don't get any. If a couple fertilise and are good quality that is all you need. This is such a tough journey but don't loose hope, when you hold your baby in your arms every moment of heart ache will be worth it. We are all here for you. Xxx

Mo that's great news!! Very excited for you.

Afm, my drugs arrive on Friday! I've def ovulated now and think af will be here next weekend!! Lovely weekend planned this weekend with our in laws at their holiday home, they are having our dd on sat while we go for a spa day!! A body wrap, facial, lunch and lounging by the pool sauna, steam and jacuzzi with books and magazines. Cannot wait!!

 

[Jaybo]

Comfy - glad you made it through the ER ok. Well done! I hope all you're 4 embies do well over the next few days. Will you get a fertilisation report in the morning? I agree, how wonderful would it be to go to sleep and wake up from the nightmare of infertility!

Mo - Great news on your embies! Sounds like they're going strong. does that make it a 4 or 5dt?

Thanks for sharing your bfp symptoms girls. I really hope the cramping is a good sign, I fear it's just the progesterone though as I was having them from before the time of implantation. Just praying my little embie is still doing ok in there!

MrsW - Yay for med! I was so excited to get mine as it meant we were truly on our way. I'll pass on the warning the ladies on this thread gave me - don't be surprised, there are a LOT of them! Your holiday sounds wonderful, and a great way to relax before you start treatment. Have a lovely time.

Bumpsparkle, how fun would that be to have transfers same day! Hope the cyst stays away for you xx

Mrs w, how exciting! Complete said early scan would be 7 weeks so probably when stop progesterone too e cannot wait! Xx

 

[MoBaby]

Jaybo that will be day 5.

ILT: thanks for that info. I'm just praying nothing goes wrong between now and then.

Mrs w so exciting to get started!! Eek!!

 

[Ilovetomatoes]

Mo, I am sure everything will be fine. I don't think they will want to "risk" it by bringing the embies to day 5 if none of them are good quality. So no worries. I am sure you'll have at least 2 to transfers from the 9 that you have. When we spoke w/ the Embryologist on transfer day, we had 2 blasties ready to go, 1 at 4 AB (they froze that immediately after the procedure), 3 were lagging behind...like seriously only on day 3, and 2 were bad qualities. But in the end, we got 4 frosties and 2 transferred. So I am pretty confident that everything will work out well for you .

Ohh...I forgot to add. I read somewhere that on fertilization day if a lot of eggs did not get fertilized then you have sperms issue. But after they fertilized and a lot of them didn't make it, then it's an egg issue. I know that you were worried about your DH's sperm before. Maybe that'll help . Or maybe not . Either way..things are going to work out .

 

[Bumpsparkle]

First - I don't really know when transfer will be as never had a FET cycle before but it sounds as though they plan it for around cd19 and can adjust if lining takes longer to build up. Should be around 25th Feb for me, if all goes to plan (but when does that ever happen in ivf!)

 

[Comfycushions]

Thanks for the encouragement everyone. Have been a nervous wreck this morning! Embryologist just rang and all 4 were mature and fertilised. Latest hurdle passed! Will ring me tomorrow, hopefully to tell me they're still ok and let me know if transfer will be sat or mon.

 

[star25]

Great news comfy! x

 

[Aurora CHK]

Four mature and fertilised, that's ace Comfy

How are you doing now - are the nerves dissipating? Hope you're taking good care of yourself

 

[Aurora CHK]

Hi all, just a flying visit... Just to add to the cramping/BFP discussion - in my last IVF (which did end in a BFP although sadly not in a viable pregnancy in the end) I was cramping like crazy, just like on the worst day of my period!

 

[Comfycushions]

Aurora i'm enjoying a day of merely low level nerves and anxiety! I'm so happy with this mornings news though.

 

[Ilovetomatoes]

Comfy, 4!!!! All of them fertilized yayy. I assumed you are going to have to wait 2 more days to see what happened?

Mo, 2 more days. Yes...I am counting for you .

Jaybo and Beth, how are you ladies doing?

Star, any sign of AF yet?

Everyone else...HI!

 

[FirstTry]

That's awesome, Comfy!

 

[MoBaby]

Comfy!! How exciting! Congrats

 

[star25]
