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.
That's all my opinion of course

Just a quick one to let you know they tested 15 embryos today, fingers crossed we find 1 or 2 good ones. We are very realistic that there may not be any or only 1 or 2.
Oh how lovely Andie was finally having her baby! Such wonderful news.
Thanks Minnie, totally agree about not doing IVF with pgd again we wasted so much time putting back dodgy embryos. Thanks also for the 60-70% implantation rate for a normal embryo. It's still not 100% huh! But much better odds.
Elle - all the best for your pregnancy you had a very rough journey to get there & gives us all hope that pgd can work.
No more updates til we go for transfer on Saturday. Will have to keep busy tomorrow!
-
Awesome results elarwood. Fingers crossed you get a good haul so that you get 1 to transfer & some frosties for a brother/sister in the future xx
-
Thanks Jo. Very anxious about results tomorrow, you just never know with IVF and can't ever be too confident. Going to be a long night!
-
So far so good elarwood! Hang in there!!!! Everything crossed and hoping we read some good news tomorrow! 15 tested is a great start anyway xxxxxx you must be so so nervous! Xxxx
-
Just a quick one lovely ladies, 6 out of 15 were normal! Possibly one more they are still testing. Overwhelmed. Makes me think about the last 5 embryos we transferred could actually have been normal & not implanted. One transferred today & six frozen. We have never ever had so much success on a cycle. Longest two week wait & praying this one sticks! Thank you all for your support. I wish you all so much success with upcoming cycles and transfers. A little high on 2 Valium tablets my FS gives out

Thanks so much lovely ladies! Praying its a sticky one. I'm still overwhelmed we got so many normal frosties, I know one of those little ones will be our baby. Pretty sure I'm suffering from mild hyperstim, but managing okay. Will try to keep very busy!
Elle- oh a little girl is precious!! So exciting!
T-hopes, hope you are having a fabulous time on the coast. Yay for finishing the pill Thursday & wait for AF so you can start.
PS ladies, I swapped clinics and FS this time round & although we seem to have had better success I haven't been impressed with their procedures. Ie. all we know about our results were that 6 were normal. I have no idea how many made it to blastocyst, what grades they were, what DH's results were etc precious clinic we always spoke with the scientist for 10 mins before transfer & go through it all, ask questions, get a little photo of the embryo, get movie tickets as a gift etc Not one person from the clinic said good luck either. I guess I'm used to the professionalism of previous clinic, and it really is a small problem and probably the hormones talking but I'm really annoyed about it!

Fantastic numbers...Sending sticky vibes to Elle!!
