Waiting to start IVF in January anyone else?

[beneathmywing]

ILT -- Hope the house sells fast!!! Someone interested this soon is a great sign. Love the ticker!!

Mo -- Yay for trigger!!! Good luck to you

Jaybo -- Ugh. I might kill the next person who say "just relax"! Lol. I would go out for your friend's birthday if I were you so it is pretty much just dinner. It's good for you to get out of the house and get your mind of everything!!

Comfy -- Hope you feel better, girl. Looks like the cat is a fighter!!

 

[lizzie78]

ILT love the ticker

Mo - good luck fro EC tomorrow - eek lol

Comfy, that is so sad about DHs cat - sending you lots of love

Hope eoe is doing ok? I'm a bit emotional today, blame the dugs(!) but DH is being lovely. He has cooked dinner and left me to read undisturbed all day with my fur baby curled up with me. I've only come out to make lunches ready for next week them I'm off back to my reading corner

Hey star, sorry you are feeling poorly, hope you feel better tomorrow, hopefully the rest has helped I'm not sure long vs short protocol, they haven't mentioned bcp or anything to me, they said ill start drugs on my next af! I'm at complete tomorrow for my nurse consult so will know more tomorrow night!! I think I've ovulated this weekend and my lp is 11-12 days so less than 2 weeks till af is due!! How about you?

Ilt that's great news about your house!! Hopefully they snap it up! Have you found a house you want to buy or not yet? Ours was on for ages last year and then went back on in Nov last year. We live in a small village and our second bedroom is quite small, plus is a very old house with a Rayburn and open fires etc so it's not everyone's cup of tea.

Good luck tomorrow mo baby! Hope all goes well. Will look forward to your update.

Thanks jaybo. Ugh don't people say the most insensitive things when you don't know what else to say. We haven't told many people about our issues and those who do know and have said stupid things I never speak to them about it anymore. I agree with beneath I'd go out for the dinner and then relax afterwards. With my natural pregnancies I was running and all sorts in the tww, obviously ivf is very different but implantation still happened.

What are others doing after et? I'm planning to take a few days off and go and relax. I know there are no hard and fast rules but I'm guessing implantation will happen in the first 3-5 days if its going to happen wouldn't it?

Enjoy the reading and relaxing lizzie, glad eh is looking after you!!

Comfy, it's lovely your cat is being looked after at the very end, he is lucky to have such wonderful owners.

Comfy so sorry about your cat, one of ours was killed just before Christmas and we were all heartbroken

Mo good luck for EC!

We had our EC on Friday, they got 8 eggs which was great from only one ovary.
They called today to tell us they managed to fertilise 7 but only 3 have made it to today.
We have two top quality and one 'good' one.
They're going to call me back tomorrow morning. They say if they're all progressing they will keep them another day and call me again on Tuesday.
They did say if the 'good' one has dropped off then they will call us in to transfer the two others tomorrow, hopefully they'll still be top quality.

I read an article from one clinic that said if the embryos wont make it to blastocyst in the culture then they won't in the uterus, some clinics don't even offer 3 day transfers anymore.
So I'm hoping they don't say tomorrow that they won't make it to blast and I need to have them back.

Hope everyone else is doing well, sorry i don't keep up with all the updates, gonna have to write them down

Beth: It doesn't sound right to me that the culture is as good as your womb. My understanding was that they'll wait until day five if you have several embryos just in order to tell which ones might be the best. Plenty of embryos transferred on day three turn into perfect little babies!

 

[MoBaby]

I agree with first. Some embryos do much better in iterus than culture so getting back home is the best place. That's why they usually don't risk trying to get to day 5 if you only have a few. So many things could happen between day 3 and 5 affecting embryos.

 

[BethK]

Thanks Mo and FirstTry xx

They called this morning and the words the Embryologist used were (bearing in mind yesterday (day 2) we had 3 embies, 2 top quality and 1 'good') -

"After looking at the embryos today we feel we are able to identify which 2 would be the better ones, therefore we feel it's best to put both back in today".

They didn't say what quality they were so i don't know if they degraded over night or if just the 'good' one degraded. Yesterday they said if all 3 progressed normally overnight they would go to blast but that obviously didn't happen.

So they're not saying that they wouldn't make it to blasts and therefore have them back are they? We wanted blasts as that's what DD was and it has higher success, but i guess the only reason they wont keep them to blast is because we only have 2? Last time we had 4.

Anyway, i'm having both implanted this afternoon at 3pm, they are using the glue so fingers crossed one of them sticks.

 

[MoBaby]

Beth good luck!! Fx for you!

 

[Comfycushions]

Mo good luck with egg collection.

Beth, they're just going to go to blast in your uterus instead. Good luck this afternoon. You're going to be pupo so soon.

I've been told to take my last menopur at 6pm, trigger at 9pm go to theatre Wednesday. All feels very surreal!!

 

[FirstTry]

Good luck, Beth! Glad you have two!

Mo: looking forward to hearing your great results! Are you planning a fresh transfer or FET?

Comfy: yay for trigger!!!

AFM, 30 days til transfer

 

[Ilovetomatoes]

Mrs W, we haven't started looking for houses yet. We prefer to sell our house first then start looking. We feel safer that way.

Beth, 5DT does not guarantee implantation and 3DT does not mean that the embryo won't implant. The lady who went to the same clinic with me and also did a 5DT got a BFN. Most likely they don't want to take chances of all 3 did not make it to day 5. Your uterus is definitely friendlier than the petri dish . So don't give up yet! You'll be PUPO soon .

Mo, good luck w/ retrieval today . Plenty of eggs...plenty of eggs then another one go PUPO soon too!

Comfy, Eeeek! Can't believe that you are going to trigger and retrieval this week also . Lots of retrievals and transfers this week .

First, March will be here soon . It's already February 2nd .

Hope everyone else is doing well. I am excited for those who are having their retrieval and transfer today. I am waiting for Jaybe to join me soon!

 

[star25]

Mrs w, sounds like you will be doing short protocol as complete specialises in that but you'll find out today anyway, how exciting!

Beth, I'm sure your embies will do great, I spoke to embryologist day of EC as I was doing a freeze all meant any embryos I had would have to make it to day 5 that worried me and she said they prefer them to get to day 5 now anyway which worried me again as ive seen loads of bfps on here from day 3 transfers!

Mobaby, hope your ok today, been thinking of you

Afm, still waiting on af, hoping for it in next couple of days!

 

[star25]

Comfy good luck for Wednesday, this thread is going to be busy again!

 

[Jaybo]

Hi ladies,

Mo - good luck with EC really hoping you get loads of healthy eggs. Looking forward to your update.

Beth - good luck with the transfer.

ILT - thank-you! I'm really really hoping I'll be joining you soon! FX

Comfy - Great news you're ready to trigger! This is one busy thread!

MrsW - hope you're appointment goes well today.

First - the waiting during IVF us torture! Hope the next 30 days fly by for you!

Star - Hi :wave:

AFM - I did end up going out last night for a bit and it was lovely to take my mind off all things IVF. DH was please he could have a beer without me giving him the death stare! The nurse at my ER said to carry on as normal after ET, but not to do anything strenuous. I'm just feeling a bit paranoid. I've got this week off work, so I plan to take it easy and watch lots of movies! While trying not to go completely crazy!

 

[Ilovetomatoes]

Jaybo, that's what I did after ET too. Didn't do much for a couple of days then I got antsy on the third day. But basically, lots of feet warming, tidying up the house, and catching up with my shows. Have fun relaxing .

 

[beneathmywing]

Beth -- FX for you!!!!! Good luck.

Comfy -- Yay! All so close now.

Mo -- Good luck today! Can't wait for an update.


For us girls waiting -- I hope time goes fast!!!

Bmw: when are you starting? Full IVF cycle, right?

 

[MoBaby]

Hey all- 22 eggs collected. Dont know how many are mature yet. Bad news thiugh. Dh had no sperm in his 2 samples he left. So they are thawing what we have frozen and hope to find some. We will have to freeze left over eggs. This puts a damper on things. I don't know what's even going to come of all this now, if we will transfer or if we will have anything. I'm really upset.

 

[beneathmywing]

Bmw: when are you starting? Full IVF cycle, right?

Af should be here Feb 15/16, and I have a day 2 start. I'll be on Femara days 2-5 along with low stims. My clinic calls it an EZ-IVF. Since I have low ovarian reserve and don't produce many follicles, we are focusing more on quality.

 

[Ilovetomatoes]

Mo, awesome # on the collection. I do hope they'll find usable sperms. Does the RE has a backup plan?

BMW, it'll be here and before you know it you'll be PUPO too!
