IVF with PGD # 10

thanks, ladies. ;)

A huge congratulations on the arrival of your little boy Andie! So precious! We were overwhelmed with our cycle & getting 6 tested normal.

T-hopes half way through TWW and it's doing my head in!! Some days I feel positive & okay about it & others I feel it hasn't worked & we wouldn't be that lucky. AF is due Monday it sometimes comes early or on time, other times is delayed due to high levels of progesterone support. Not on any pregnyl & didn't do a hcg trigger due to OHSS risk so I'm tempted to POAS in a few days time. What do you girls usually do? I don't want to jinx it but don't want to wait either.

Hi everyone.
I am obviously new here :-) but I have been following for a few weeks now and decided to join (better late than never). I am currently day 3 of 2ww (day 5 transfer). Had pgd for a blood disorder. It looks like some of you are also in your 2ww :-)

Welcome Munchkin! The tww is a killer. Let's hope that both you & elarwood get some great news next week xxx

Elarwood I have only poas once & although it was BFP it all ended at 9 weeks in a m/c. My last cycle I had HCG booster shots so couldn't. If we go again don't think I would poas if I could. Not that getting the call from the clinic is any nicer when it's bad news

Sending you both loads of sticky vibes :stickyvibesgirl::stickyvibesboy:

Double!

I am also very tempted to test but luckily I don't have one in the house! Hehe just wondering if your clinic gives you success rates? At the time of transfer my FS said I have a 50-55% chance. Not sure how it compares to other clinics but I'm sure other factors also come into play.

Elarwood: I'm an early tester, usually start around 10 dpo (so 5dp5dt), I'd be testing if I was you especially with no chance of having a trigger or pregnyl showing up, good luck !

Munchkin: welcome :) my clinic told me there was a 60-70% chance of implantation following pgd, good luck to you too !

T hopes: where are you up too ?

Andie: congrats again on your little man :hug:

Thanks Minnie :-) wow! Those rates are high! I'm wondering though if it has to do with why you are getting the PGD done. Correct me if i'm wrong but It seems that most of you here have had it done due to issues like m/c in the past? So PGD has been done to test for chromosomal abnormalities? Mine was done for a blood disorder so I wonder if that is why the rates are lower?

Welcome Munchkin! TWW is a killer hey! good luck! I'm 8 days post transfer, 5 days til beta. I've also heard 60-70% success rate after PGD but my clinic didn't tell me any particular rate. Its high, but no guarantees! i wish it was higher! My pgd was CGH for chromosomes abnormalities. I don't have any implantation issues that I know of & my FS treats all patients as they do anyway.

Thanks Joe & Minnie...AF usually beats me to POAS & last cycle I was on pregnyl so I don't usually test. I'll see if I can hold out a few days longer. I've never actually gotten to beta day as I refuse to go when AF has been & gone.

Does anyway know reasons why a CGH tested embryo wouldn't implant?

Elatwood- 5 days! How exciting! Good luck, looking forward to hearing about your positive. How many cycles have you had?

Does anyone know how common implantation bleeding actually is? I haven't had any yet...

So I caved this morning & POAS 9dp5dt & was a very very faint line. Pre AF symptoms started yesterday so I doubt it's crinone side effects etc i was expecting a darker line & thinking maybe it's only a chemical. I don't know what to think! This is cycle 4 & 6th transfer. I guess I have to prepare myself for either way & only time will tell.
Munchkin I don't think implantation spotting is very common.

Elarwood- a faint line is a good start! Remember everyone is different and what is normal for some isn't for others. Your definitely not out the game yet! :-)

Woke up with a really sore throat this morning and breasts have been so sore for past 4 days- does everyone usually get this on the crinone (not the sore throat) hehe

Elarwood: fingers crossed for you, what brand are you testing with ?

Munchkin: yep I used to get really sore boobs from the progesterone (crinone)

I have had spotting with some pregnancies, nothing with this current one though

Has anyone had CGH/PGD tested embryos not implant? If so, what reasons did you FS give you?

i honestly don't think it's good news for us, I felt this way when I had a chemical pregnancy & given the symptoms only started when AF was due. I'm not holding out a lot of hope. I tested with a first response - pink one. They are sensitive right?

Munchkin I usually get very sore breasts on crinone.
