Waiting to start IVF in January anyone else?

[MoBaby]

Bump sorrh cycle was canceled but you want it to be perfect so it's probably best. Fx to next month. Only a few weeks away!

ILT can't wait for your update.

First how are your embabies?

Sparkle: I'm sorry to hear that. The waiting is a very tough part of TTC. But you have the right attitude, better to create the best possible environment for success.

Btw, I expect to transfer in 6-8 weeks, so maybe we'll be transfer buddies!

 

[FirstTry]

Mo: things are still going well as of yesterday. Day 5 report is tomorrow, which is an important one. Then, 10-14 day wait for genetic testing results, which is really the only report that matters . But I must admit that I'm feeling perhaps overconfident.

Bump so sorry you had to cancel but you're right saying it's better to wait than waste a good embie.

I start my first cycle in feb so we'll be about the same time xx

Bump, sorry you have had to cancel this cycle but completely agree that you want your body in as 'tip top' condition as possible rather than using up a perfectly good embie when it isnt quite ready. Hope the time flies past for you

Finally got the report! We got 10 fertilized and they are all grade A. The nurse said that grade A is the best grade. I thought that they didn't get graded until day 3 or 5?? Not really sure about the grade thing but I am quite happy with 10!

Now, waiting to see if we get to do day 3 or day 5 transfer. Unfortunately, we won't know until last minute. Boo!

That's great, ILT! Go embabies go!!!

 

[lizzie78]

Bump, sorry you had to cancel! I had to cancel my last IVF, but better to cancel then go through it all and it not working for whatever reason =( Time will fly!

ILT, awesome!!!!!!!

 

[CMo]

ILT that's amazing!! How many do u plan to transfer? 1 or 2 xx

 

[Ilovetomatoes]

Thanks Ladies!

Cmo, since I am 39, usually, they will transfer 3 embies for day 3 transfer and 2 blasts for day 5 transfer. I am hoping to do a 5 day transfer because 3 sounds a bit one too many. I trust my RE will make the best decision for us since they are a bit stricter when it comes to policy.

Do you all know how many you'll transfer?

 

[star25]

Yay ilt! Great fert report x

 

[beneathmywing]

Got my eight tubes of blood work results back. All clear!

 

[Ilovetomatoes]

BMW, yaay! What are the bws for if you don't mind me asking?

 

[star25]

Good news beneath!

 

[CMo]

ILT I'm not sure yet. Our clinic is quite strict about only wanting you to transfer one. If we were funded through nhs it would def only be one but because we're paying we can choose to do 2. We can decide on the day but we've discussed it and said probably just one unless they are poor quality then I would be tempted to do 2. If first cycle doesn't work I would probably be more likely to do 2 the second time. Consultant keeps saying their aim is for couples to walk away with one healthy baby so they try to avoid any risks a multiple pregnancy causes x

 

[beneathmywing]

BMW, yaay! What are the bws for if you don't mind me asking?

It was a whole bunch of stuff -- infectious disease/cystic fibrosis/spinal muscular atrophy/hiv and some std's/tsh/prolactin yadda yadda yadda lol

CMo, we paid for the IVF ourselves also but my clinic has a pretty straight up guidelines. Under 35 is 1. They also offered an ESet program where you only transfer 1 and if that's not successful then you can transfer another 1 for free. But since I am over 35, the guideline is transfer 3 or 2 with no "bonus" transfer. I wish I can utilize their Eset program .

BMW, they didn't do that on your first try?

Some of that. They didnt do any of the infectitious disease testing at my old re.

 

[Ilovetomatoes]

BMW, that sucks! I remember before I met with an RE that I was required to "donate" 13 vials of blood. Then after the meeting, a few more and DH also needed a few vials. Did you change RE since your last procedure?

Btw, anyone still stimming or will start soon? We are almost half way through January
