IVF with PGD #5

[Motherhood here i come!]

Morning all,

Well had my Day 5 update from the Embryologist at SIVF. She let me know that they have had a look this morning and 3 of the guys are starting to form/enter the blatocyst stage however, they dont expect them to reach that stage until tomorrow morning. She also said that they like them to be hatching and bursting out before they do the biopsy. I suppose this is a good thing doing it that way.

So, that means another day of waiting. Frustrating. I need to have hope though that these guys will make it. The embryologist let me know also that they will check in on them again this afternoon and should anything have changed, will call and let me know.

that all goes well and that if its meant to be it WILL be.

KMN - I know the PGD process however our lab does it a little different i suppose . Like I said above, they told me they like them to be hatching.

Hope everyone is well!!!

Ahhh Motherhood, it is alot to take in hay. I remember all those angry feeling of being missinformed. In the end i gave in and this is our final go with SIVF.
Stephen and i would defo use untested embrios as we cannot concieve naturally, if we could we would take the chance. The PGD for us is just another step we may make it through.
Your little guys are doing so well, i so wished mine had blasted last time. I remember being so mad on day 6, which was their last chance to hatch, because i felt we should have put one back earlier. So make sure no matter what one goes in tommorow. I will be much more assertive this time round. Im making sure i get my ET no matter what! And if this one doesn't work for us i will do regular IVF closer to home without the PGD.
I will be praying for your little embies.

Ferrals i hope she gets here soon for you.

Hey Jaki,

Yup. we have decided that we will definately put one back for sure but the plan as Im sure you understand is to test if we can. When we weighed it up we felt that it would esentially be no different than if we tried naturally. And I really strongly agree with the FS that it would be a wasted opportunity if we didnt!!!!! There is every chance that if we put an untested back, it would be 100% fantastically healthy.

FX that the little guys are going great guns as we speak though.

Great to hear you have such a positive attitude! I can't wait for you to post tomorrow that you have had you ET, hopefully with a tested embryo.

AFM- starting to feel my ovaries changing. Have to hope not too drasticly tho, last time i looked 7 month pg and hyperstimulated! Looking forward to getting tommorows US & BT results on tues morning!

Sorry for the emotional me post i have just had enough

[Jaki80]

Aww ferrals she will come. Don't give up yet. Maybe you are already pg..??
Mine was soooo late too, I think it was a mental thing, as soon as I did a pg test she came!
(((((((Big hugs)))))))

[Motherhood here i come!]

I agree with Jaki Ferrals. She will come

So quick update for you. We have 2 that are hatching blastocycsts, Grade 2. So will get another call from the Nurse in about an hour or so advising when they expect the results in and what to do next I suppose. Only thing is though, FS doesnt work in Sydney today so will have a different doctor doing the ET.

Man O Man. Cant concentrate. Have been doing some reading of documents here at work and have read the same sentence about 5 times now. FX big time now that they come out clean!!!

[ferrals4]

Just a quick post before i take my two youngest boys to tutoring the witch has turned up so i will have my BT in the morning and results by 5pm tomorrow i don't feel real confident about it but we will see anyway be back later for persies

[Jaki80]

Yay!!! It'll be fine Hun.

Don't have official results yet but sonographer told me I have an army of follies. Not sure if that's a good thing due to my last cycle overstimulating. Most of the viable follies are 10mm at the biggest so that is good, they seem to be growing at the same rate. The rest are under 5mm and may not come to the party. She even asked me if I had pocs!! Totally freaked me out.
Will get instructions on when to start orgalutran tomorrow.

Ferrals - Yay for the witch arriving. FX for you for sure.

Jaki - Good work on the follies.

AFM - So, its not official just yet but I am in my 2ww!!!!!! ET will be done at 5pm this afternoon. AND for the best news EVER.................... The 2 embryos that were tested for DH's nasty gene turned out all clear. They have been given a 99% clear of the gene and a 95% clear of the gene. OMG I couldnt believe it. You know the best part though, the Nurse was so excited hehehe. So will leave work here at 4.30pm and head on over to the clinic. . I cant stop smiling. This means we also have a spare. Hmmm need to remind myself though that there are still hurdles we need to jump before complete success.

[Jaki80]

OMG. So amazing! So exciting! I'm lost for words. I'm so happy for you!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

AFM- nurse called, have to up my FSH to 200u. Start orgalutran tomoz.

[ferrals4]

Motherhood-both of them uneffected that is great to start with good numbers and only end up with two but they are both fine you cant ask for better than that.

Jaki-are you sure your not part chook with all those eggs LOL.
