Waiting to start IVF in January anyone else?

[star25]

I'm so confident for you lizzie, especially as your having symptoms I bet they're growing stronger as we type! crinone is a progesterone gel pessary, I think I'm feeling the effects of ot, sore boobs and crampy so it cant all be leaking out lol xx

 

[FirstTry]

Good luck with your two little balls of hope, Mrs W! I understand your disappointment. I'm crossing my fingers that you will find your miracle among those two embies

AFM, I've been AWOL while preparing mentally for transfer day. Lining check is today and transfer next week.

I have been watching the thread and praying for each one of you.

 

[19yrOldGirl]

Lizzie defo not something to worry about wishing you lots of luck xx

 

[Mrs W 11]

The embryologist has just called to let me know that due to work load on Sunday they are going to check my embryos tomorrow even though they wouldn't normally look at them on day 2. If there is clearly one which is better quality than the other, my transfer will be a day 2 transfer tomorrow. If they both look similar and are poor or average we might discuss putting 2 back tomorrow. If they are both similar and good quality we will wait to day 3. I'm glad I will have an update tomorrow, although my dd had her first ballet lesson planned so I will have to go on my own and ill have to cancel my hair colour and cut which is a bit of a shame.

 

[Aurora CHK]

the doctor just rang so i need to get cracking! Hi to everyone! Looks like it's transfer day!!!!

squeeeeeeeeee!

 

[Aurora CHK]

Hi ladies, I've had the call and of my 6 eggs only 2 fertilised I'm feeling really gutted. I know everyone will say I only need one but obviously it's much more touch and go about whether we will get to transfer now we only have 2 to rely on.

She said of the 6, 1 was immature, 2 were not proper eggs there was something very wrong with them so none of those would ever have had a chance of fertilising and 1 was normal and mature but just didn't fertilise. I asked about quality and she said it was too early to say but that one had inclusions which would lead her to believe the other one is better quality.

Transfer booked for Sunday morning. Please please keep growing 2 little embies. Keep your fingers, toes and all other crossables crossed for me girls, I need them xx

Oh lady, I completely understand your sadness and worry. I had three fertilise from 8 eggs and was so gutted and scared, but two went to blastocyst stage so it is possible for you too, I promise. But of course right now you're upset, so I'm sending you lots of cuddles xxx

 

[CMo]

Hey ladies just a quick update, back from egg collection and we got 8 eggs. Happy with that but still hoped for more. Just need to hope some fertilise.

Can't remember a thing from it. Zonked pretty much straight away. Feeling a bit sore now so away for a wee sleep xx

 

[amoreamy]

Mrs W- I understand but those beauties are going to make it! I know it's flooring for the numbers to drop so fast, but those embabies are going to do their thing. Much love xx

Cmo congratulations on 8, that's fabulous! Fingers crossed now xx

Good luck first try, hopefully it's pretty much ready!

Thank you 19 and Aurora! It got exciting again today!

AFM This morning from our from embies we had two 5 cell and two 3 cell. There's fragmentation on both the 3 cells, and some on one of the 5. They wasn't a grade for them but the 5 cell one were both good but not amazing.

So we've put in both 5 cells and are seeing what happens to the 3 cells ones over the weekend.

In short I'm pupo with two embabies!!!

 

[amoreamy]

Here they are Sorry it's a little fuzzy.

And then in situe

 

[star25]

Ahhh thats so cute amore! Well done lovely! X

Mrs w, your babies will be back with you soon ready to snuggle in nicely xx

 

[star25]

Cmo, 8 is a brilliant number, hope your resting lots xx

 

[Ilovetomatoes]

BMW, such great #s compare to before! Looking forward to today's result .

Aurora, you ladies won't like me being in the same house at this point. DH told me that my stomach was growling loudly almost every night! Plus, all I do is eat and puke ahhahaah. OHh...and go to bed at 8pm the latest. I even fell asleep sitting on the couch.

19, hope everything is well with you and Thank you .

Mrs W, we did. It's easier to buy a new build than existing house right now. The house should be done between mid and end of May. We should be in before the babies are born (still weird saying babies lol). We do want to find out the gender. It'd be much easier to decorate the rooms and buying clothes for them. I am sorry to hear that only 2 embies made it but like the other ladies said...it's not over yet. Some embies do better in their natural environment...mama's uterus! From what I've read, with 2 embies, they would probably do an early transfer instead of waiting for them to turn into Blasties since it's not guarantee they can turn into blasties. Either way, you'll be PUPO soon!

Aurora, take care of yourself. I think you made the right decision and you'll go back to teaching, studying, and performing again....9 months from now .

Star, I wonder if you can use menstrual cup after the crinone so it won't leak everywhere. Actually, I may ask my nurse about that because I am suppose to use progesterone pills in a few days in addition to my PIO shot. Very unexpected twins result after being told we were having singleton lol. I am still adjusting with the news . Transfer day is coming up soon!

Lizzie, the twinnies and I are doing good so far. We are still adjusting to each other....well..maybe it more me trying to adjust to the whole concept ahahaha. I went to take a look at my early scan again and there was only 1 then. Still baffled by the whole thing. When is your ultrasound? Come be twin mama with me!! ahahahah. We'll be as big as a house and can use our bellies as tables .

First, you'll be PUPO soon too!

Amore, Congrats PUPO!!

Cmo, yay for 8 eggs. Get some rest and have plenty of fluid.

Sorry if I missed anyone. This thread is moving really fast with lots of ladies having their retrievals, future transfers, and PUPOs....all in a few days! . I wish that we all live close by and in the same house like Aurora said. Not saying we don't love our DHs and OHs but it's just different being ladies who understand what you are going through. GROUP HUGS!!! yea..I'm emotional right now lol.

 

[Jaybo]

Wow ladies, you have been busy the last couple of days!!

MrsW – sorry you’re disappointed with your fertilisation report, but as the other girls say it really does only take one. I was so desperately worried that we weren’t going to make it to ET, so know what a horribly anxious time this is and send lots of hugs. But don’t worry they are being looked after and you’ll get them back soon!!

Amore – First of all congratulations on being pupo!! Amazing pictures Your EC sounds traumatic I would have freaked out if I could hear what they were saying. Hope you can get lots of R&R now and put your feet up, at least for the weekend.

CMo – 8 eggs is great! FX for a great fertilisation report. Hope you can get some rest too.

Beneath – 13 follies!! Amazing! I’m moving to NY!

One thing my Dr did say at the follow-up appointment is that when I got to ET it didn’t matter whether I’d grown 1 or 100 eggs I was still in the same position as anyone else with a good 3dt on board. I’m not sure if that’s a useful thing to say as it clearly didn’t work out for me, but I did find it reassuring.

Hi 19 – FX for egg collection next week.

Star – I was worried about the progesterone ‘leaking’ too! Not pleasant! Hope you’re doing ok otherwise.

First – Good to hear from you. Hope your lining check goes ok and is nice and thick for EC next week.

Lizzy – how are you doing? I can’t believe your clinic were so rude! I would have cried for sure! The symptoms are such a good sign, glad it you’re starting to feel a bit more positive about it all.

Aurora – hope you’re hanging on in there. That’s fab there’s no bleeding still. FX for OTD on Mon.

I may need to share your marble please, I lost mine a long time ago. I love the idea of us all in one big brother stylie house going through this madness together and sharing one marble. Well I’d definitely watch it anyway!

ILT – So exciting, you’re going to be the mummy to identical twins! Wohooo

Sorry If I missed anyone there was a lot to catch up on!!

 

[lizzie78]

Lol ILT I will be happy to be a mama of as many as want to hang around in there! u/s is 23rd March which feels ages and yet not long enough away right now. Its only a few weeks so hopefully everything will be fine by then and my early fears will be forgotten.

CMo 8 is great news, I think the drugs they use for sedation can make us feel a little blue but really I wouldnt feel too bad about that number at all. I'm sure I heard a nurse at our clinic telling someone that 6 is the average x

Mrs W sometimes the best place for our embies is back where nature intended them to be. Will be rooting for them but a 2dt isnt the end of the world. A lady I cycled with in July got her bfp with a 2dt.

Amoreamy - PUPO Yay!!!!!!!!! My hairdresser just saw your womb I hope you don't mind! Had to tell her not to let colour on my scalp and she is fascinated by the whole process so i used the pic of your ultrasound to explain it to her lol.

Jaybo - thank you

 

[beneathmywing]

Quick update again and heading into work.. Two more follies popped up today at 12 mm so I know have 15! Not quite ready for trigger today, but he said tomorrow or Sunday. I have a few at 21 and the rest are all 15-20..... I feel like I am being pranked! I thought I had no eggs?!!!

iLT-- i am CONVINCED it was your DH's lucky scarf and your lucky meds!!!!! Lol

 

[star25]

Thank you jaybo, I hope your ok too xx

 

[Ilovetomatoes]

Jaybo, I am excited! . Just hoping I won't be as big as a house. I am pretty short. Barely 5'1. So not sure where the babies are going to go hahaha. Been looking at bump pictures for twins and mm..maybe a big scared now ahahah. But it is what it is.

Lizzie, holy cow...another month! That will drive me nuts. Would you consider getting an early scan?

BMW!! That's the amount of follicles I had! Woohooo..go follicles! Maybe we should pass the scarf around! Unfortunately, I have no more meds. Super excited for you! This is it BMW!!!
