What makes an embie stick?

[Miss.B]

Hi Danyelle,

Woo hoo hun!! You did it!!!! I am so glad your transfer went well, despite the loss of power and having a full bladder for so long! Big ouch! Your embies sound so nice, the fact that you saw them still dividing is a great sign. I pray that they stick hun
It's great that you took it easy after the transfer and rested hun. I read somewhere that it's good to have up to 2 days of bed rest after the transfer.

I'm so sorry your sister is going through such a difficult journey with IVF I really feel for her. I have a friend who has a friend who has gone through countless rounds of IVF and she gets heaps of grade A embies, a lot of them make it to the blast stage, but as soon as they are transferred her body rejects them. She is only 30 years old, and she had PCOS. I really feel for her too, as they have done every test under the sun and they still can't work out why this is happening....It is such a difficult journey for some women, and my heart goes out to them. I haven't been in that situation myself, and I pray I don't have those extra struggles
I haven't been tested for any immunology issues or other things like that, as when I had my first transfer last year it took, so in my FS 's eyes, I have little problem conceiving through IVF. Mind you, I'm having the FET still from the first cycle, so if there any probs somewhere along the line, I'm sure he'll recommend some sort of tersting maybe??? Just hope it doesn't come to that!

I ended up catching that eggie, it turned out I caught my surge in time on Monday, so I actually ovulated on Tuesday. I opted to do the clearblue ovulation test only, as I didn't feel the need for BTs. But looking at my last two cycles (the second last one was 34 days - very long for me, and the current cycle only 24 days) I almost missed the boat as if I hadn't tested earlier than the nurse suggested, I would have missed my go this cycle. Anyway, the transfer is booked in for tomorrow morning. Wish me luck hun!

Please take it easy now hun, just remember that the more rest you have the better it is for your embies to stick. I wish with all my heart for you to get your BFP hun, I'm praying very hard for you

Hi beata,

I have Fingers and Toes Crossed for you. Lots of prayers sent your way.
How are you feeling ? Any good signs. ?

afm, well once again I am sick, I have now caught the flu again.
On every transfer I have come down sick or something else has gone wrong.
1st Flu, had to go on antibiotics
2nd Infection in the sinus, had to go on antibiotics
3rd Hurt my back lifting a toy box and couldn't walk and couldn't take any pain relief. I was in tears for days.
4th Throat infection and enlarged glands. Dr has given me a script for antibotics but told me just to wait one more day before taking them.
Is God trying to tell me something.
So I'm thinking that I have probably blown this transfer getting sick again.

I have done a lot of research on BellyBelly forums about Immunology Tests. I just have a gut feeling that something isn't just quite right. When I started seeing FS I fell pregnant straight away with my daughter the 1st try on IUI. WIth my son it took 3 tries doing IUI but during my pregnancy in last 2 weeks I got pluracy then 2 weeks later I got pre-eclampsia. Was raced straight to hospital and I had my son the next day.
Since the birth 2007 I just haven't felt right so in 2008 I went to my Gp and I was told I have No Alcholic Fatty Liver Disease. And after some research found out that pre-eclampsia can cause NAFLD. I just wondering what else might be wrong.
So today while getting my antibiotics script, I also got a referral for Dr Sacks IVF Australia at Kogarah. Going to ring them up later on to make a appointment.
The way I look at it, it doesn't hurt to have a second oppinion.

You take care, rest up and I'll chat with you again soon

Hi Danyelle,

So sorry you're not feeling the best hun! I remember when I got pg last year, I caught a cold a few days after my BFP was confirmed, I was sick for two weeks with what appeared to be something like a whooping cough (yucky!!), then I came good, and then I was sick again for 2 weeks with exactly the same thing. I kept getting sick on and off for weeks, and the doc told me that it was because my immune system was shot with all the IVF drugs. This time I'm feeling heaps better than last year, as I didn't have to have any support or drugs in this cycle. I'm feeling OK hun, no obvious signs but then I didn't have any last year, so dunno. Sore bb but that's about all.

I would definitely get second opinions hun, if you feel like there is something not right, try to get to the bottom of it hun. Nothing is stronger like the gut instinct.

Sending you lots and lots of

Hi Beata,

Thanks so much for that information, I was starting to think I was going crazy. I never knew that the IVF drugs had such an affect on the immune system.

Take care. Fingers crossed for a
