Waiting to start IVF in January anyone else?

[Bumpsparkle]

Hi ladies,

Thanks for all your well wishes. I'm now home and officially PUPO with a grade 5AB blast. Transfer went really well and they said a few times that our embie was beautiful which was reassuring. Just doesn't feel real.

Was so excited about some time off and had loads of ideas to keep busy and distracted but I just can't get motivated! Just want to sit on the couch all day but I'm not convinced that's the best idea for blood flow lol!

Star - I've got a late afternoon stroll booked in for DH's return from work!

Congrats cmo, Mrs w and star on being PUPO! We're in this 2ww together.

Beneath, great news on so many eggs! Hope you're resting well and fingers crossed for a great fert report today x

Hi to everyone, I'm definitely not keeping up with what stage everyone is at!

Right, do I make some lunch or clean some windows??

now we're all pupo together!

what a great grade too, have you got a picture? ill try and post mine later

I would go for the lunch, I'm so unmotivated too but at the same time already so bored, so far today I've had a cuppa, bnb, fed the dog, bnb,had breakfast, bnb, emptied dishwasher, bnb, spoke to dh, more bnb, put the stew on, now im here for yet more bnb!
I definitely need to go for that walk and get some blood flowing and stop the dog whining!

CMo totally get why you feel like that but honestly this is your IVF Medded up virtual friend telling you it doesnt matter how you feel about it it really wont make a difference. I really hope you get a bfp that surprises the heck out of you My scan isnt until 23rd which im quite glad about, it gives me longer to stay in my little bubble before anything can be shown to be wrong or worth worrying about - does that make me weird??

Bump woohoo for PUPO congrats And er...lunch obviously! Could you make some for me too please as my meeting overan at lunchtime so the next time i am free to get something is at 5:30 Poor minnie or mo will be starving!

Hope everyone is doing well!

Congrats to all the new PUPO's!

Unfortunately we lost ours. Shocked as we saw the heartbeat last week, but today there was nothing

Will be trying again as I made a promise to my DD.

There was so much I wanted to say when I was reading all of your updates, but I've forgotten mostly everything!

Jaybo: I hope you guys find peace in whatever decision you make. You will become parents one way or another!

For PUPO ladies feeling unsure: PMA is not required for a BFP! What will be, will be. Good luck

AFM, we'll be transferring one grade AB chromosomally-normal embryo tomorrow afternoon! I'm going to have one last cocktail tonight, as I'm hoping it will be my last until late November

hi beth, so sorry to hear that, sending you big hugs xxx

first, great news, even bigger pupo party! xx

 

[Bumpsparkle]

Beth, really sorry to hear your news. Glad to hear you'll be trying again x

First, great about transfer 2mrw! Remind me, will that be a day 3 or 5 transfer?

Lillie, hope you managed to get some lunch before your meeting!

Star, your post made me giggle, so sounds like me lol! I decided to clean a few windows (listening to songs on spotify helped with the motivation). Resting now with lunch and watching neighbours (the program not stalking my neighbours hehe!) I'm already worrying if I've overdone it within just a few hours of transfer!) It's going to be a loooong 9 days at this rate!

 

[star25]

bumpsparkle, I know I'm already so bored! will you test before Thursday?

 

[Bumpsparkle]

Well, the honest answer is I don't know! I've always tested before from 7dp3dt's (chemical showed 8dp3dt, and stark whites on 2nd cycle). I told myself I wouldn't test early this time as I don't want to feel miserable for extra days if it's bfn, however, I've ordered frers so I could test from 6dp5dt (Mon) just in case I change my mind. I was a real poas addict before but not sure I can handle it this time. You said you'll be testing from Sun right?

The consultant told me today that implantation should take place around 24 to 48 hours after transfer, so not long now until your blast will be settling in!

P.s. they also told me the other day that their latest success rates for FET's have been released and it's a 46% success rate!

 

[Ilovetomatoes]

Oh man. I am super behind on the thread. Will try to catch up with the rest later.

Beth, again. I am so sorry for your loss and glad to hear that you are trying again.

Lizzie, I got sick really early on. It started with mild nausea that starts in the morning then went away for a couple of hours then start again in the afternoon and went away at night. I think it starts on my OTD, which was 9dp5dt. Then, the nausea picked up a week later after that to almost 24 hours. A couple of days after I hit 6 weeks, it went up another level. Then it recently just got worse than ever. I hope that makes sense . At the beginning, car rides made me sick also. I did puke while driving at one point and puking while DH was driving too. Just make sure to keep lots of plastic bags in your car where you can reach them immediately!

Congrats to all of the PUPO ladies!! I can't wait to squint at test sticks!!

BMW, great egg #s. Now waiting for fertilization report .

Hi to everyone else. I'll catch up in a bit .

Beth I'm so sorry be kind to yourself lovely. I'm glad you are going to try again, 3rd time lucky, like with your dd. I completely understand that commitment to have a sibling for your first child, we will get there. Xx

Jaybo -- Thanks, hun! Besides the extreme nerves this morning, I am actually feeling really well. Hope you are doing well

MrsW -- Don't feel like the underdog, hun! It can work for you just as much as it can for someone transferring a blast. What's meant to be will be!

Bumpsparkle -- Yayyyy you're PUPO!

First -- wooohoo transfer tomorrow! So exciting.

Beth -- I am so so so sorry


Hii to everyone else I missed. I am (un)patiently waiting for my fert report. The wait is torturous!! I even feel like I am going to throw up from the anxiety! lol Am I the only one left now to transfer???

Just want to give all you girls a virtual hug This process can really be so hard not only physically, but emotionally. Luckily, we all have each other on here to give each other support! Chin up, ladies!!!!

 

[FirstTry]

I'm so sorry to hear this, Beth Glad you have a plan for next steps.

 

[FirstTry]

Bump: it's an FET of a 5 day blast.

I plan to start ing 4 days after transfer! I think the success rate for a PGS normal embryo is 60-70%. I am so confident that this is going to work, that I will be devastated if it doesn't. Probably not the best way for me to start out

 

[beneathmywing]

Got THE call --- 8 EMBIES!!!!!!

 

[FirstTry]

Yay, BMW, that is awesome!!! My DS came from a batch of 8

I forgot who was asking about the rate of chromosomal abnormalities in embryos of people with normal chromosomes. Anyway, I just read this:

"Aneuploidy occurs in approximately 20% of cleavage-stage human embryos. It also occurs in 45% of cleavage-stage embryos taken from patients with advanced maternal age (AMA; >36 years) " (https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC3169679/)

There's also a graph here: https://www.advancedfertility.com/preimplantation_genetic_diagnosis.htm

Aneuploidy is when the embryo has too many (e.g., trisomies) or too few (e.g., monosomies) chromosomes. Some trisomies can result in a live birth (e.g., trisomy 21 is Down Syndrome), but most will not. I don't think monosomies can create a baby. They will miscarry.

So, if you have recurrent pregnancy loss, genetic testing of the embryos might help, but no guarantees. And here in the US, it costs an extra $5k.
