Elarwood: that's a crazy amount of eggs to get, gosh you must be sore ! Fingers crossed you get a few good to test.
Joe: yes I have had multiple scans since the morphology one and they have all be fine so fingers crossed things will all be good. Good luck with the weight loss and I hope dp is keen to go again !
Elle: good to hear from you, how are things going with you ? I got diagnosed gestational diabetic at 17 weeks and straight onto insulin. We did find out what we are having, did you ?
Andie was having her baby yesterday, I'm stalking for her update
Alison: interesting reading, good to hear you are ok about things
T hopes: I was on luveris for the nov and jan cycles and got 18 and 6 eggs so I'm not sure whether it made a difference but can't hurt to try. For the November cycle I was away on holidays and had no monitoring at all, I was also on massive amounts of painkillers because I had a tooth abcess and the tooth got removed during the cycle, it was a less than ideal lead up but in the end that's the cycle where my normal embryo came from.
My clinic didn't do the 24sure testing, they were biopsied on day 3 in Sydney and sent to Melbourne for testing and we got the result back 2 days later.
Personally I wouldn't do Ivf without pgd, with 5 losses behind me and such bad results (even if some were potentially ok but deemed abnormal in testing), I just couldn't go on putting back embryos I didn't know about and getting to 6/7 weeks, be measuring behind, slow heartbeat and miscarrying again then waiting to get my cycle back which would take months.
When I had the 4 tested all 4 looked great on day 5, they were blasts or hatching blasts and the fs said he would put one back and freeze another 2 but they were chromosomally abnormal.
Of course you can get lucky and get a normal one from icsi and no pgd but I couldn't keep doing it. My fs quoted an implantation rate of 60-70% with a normal embryo and going by the history in this thread there were a lot that took if they were good.
