IVF with PGD # 11

Great numbers, munchkin! Congrats. [emoji3]

Oh wow soooooo happy for you!!! I had a good feeling about this one...Massive congratulations.

Afm nothing is really happening....getting a bit nervous about when transfer might be because my period us due around the 13th.

thanks guys! 4th time lucky! I know it has taken others many more tries but we were starting to feel like it wasn't going to happen so this is a big relief. Hoping all goes well with the 8 week scan.
J bear have you ovulated yet? My clinic does transfer 5 days after ovulation.. I guess this would be because we transferred 5 day embryo's? What does your clinic usually do?

How are you feeling Munchkin? It takes a lot out of you mentally, physically & financially so i know what you were feeling. When is your scan?

I'm day 20 of my cycle now and Monday was my last test with nothing happening still! Uuuughhhhh! Another blood test tomorrow and if there is still nothing then i don't know what we'll do. My clinic does the same as yours Munchkin, transfer 5 days after Ovulation. My concern was that my cyclw is normally 31 days and if i have a transfer on day 25 for example then does that lessen my chances of getting bfp? my fs doesn't seem concerned but it still worries me a little.

So i just spoke to my nurse and my estrogen is actually going backwards! So no transfer this month. Won't see my FS at the end of the month so next attempt may not be until next year. Feeling disappointed and wondering if i could have done something to improve my chances.

Oh, no jbear [emoji53]. There's probably nothing you could've done differently. I think when it's going to work, it just does. It sucks but it's just so random [emoji53]. Xx

Thanks Andie, i know you're right. Feeling a lot better about things now, looking at the positives. Hope you're well and getting more sleep x

How many you got on ice, again? And no... not getting any more sleep atm! [emoji51]

J bear sorry to hear things aren't progressing for you this cycle :-( Is there still hope for a transfer this year? Can they give you something to induce ovulation?

Andie why aren't you sleeping?

AFM I'm doing fine. Some slight nausea but nothing major. Our scan feels like forever away.

Munchkin - I have a 12 week old and a 2 year old = no sleep! When is your scan?

Andie- I see!! Is it really hard? I will be due just after DD's second birthday.. And possibly with twins, eek! Scan is 2 weeks

I'm finding it quite hard some days, but it's bc baby isn't a sleeper and doesn't like to be put down or lay on his back. Some days (when baby sleeps!) it's a breeze. It all hinges on how much sleep the household gets! 2 weeks will fly by, especially if you have a toddler to care for.. Xx

I spoke to my nurse and she said to talk to my FS about a medicated cycle so appt is Monday 26 hopefully she's ok for me to do that Nov, last chance for this year! AF is already 5 days late soooooo i don't know what is going on with my body.

One more week til your scan Munckin, OMG the possibility of twins is pretty awesome!

I have two that are tested and balanced.

No sleep :wall: makes it so hard to function you poor thing x

Sounds like you might be able to squeeze one in by the end of the year Jbear! Hope it all falls into place for you!

Have been having a lot more morning (and by morning I mean all day) sickness this time round. I had none with my daughter. Could be because the HCG levels are higher this time round.. Every pregnancy is different though. We would be ecstatic with twins but one healthy baby would also be perfect.

Andie I hope the sleep situation is improving for you!

Hope you get to transfer, Jbear. The Christmas/new year break always seems especially long when ttc [emoji53].
Munchkin - remind me, did you have 2 transferred or just high hcg numbers making you suspicious of twins..?

Andie- yes we did have two transferred so definitely sus hehe With my daughter I had the opposite, really low HCG levels!

Thanks ladies, my FS is great so easy to deal with! We have everything in place for a transfer next month....just waiting on AF. Hoping the Provera does the trick!

I hope your sickness eases, that must be extra taxing with a toddler at your feet.

hello!
We had our scan today.. One, strong heart beat :-) Measuring to date (8 weeks). Feeling very blessed.

I hope things are progressing for you Jbear xx

Awww that's the best news Munchkin!

Everything is moving along here, on Progynova now & have my scan next thurs...hopefully will be right for transfer by around the 18th.

Thought I'd replied, but fabulous new Munchkin! Hope you're feeling ok. Xx

Fingers crossed this cycle goes smoothly for you Jbear. Xx

Thanks so much Andie x

So i had transfer this morning....fingers crossed x

I hope everyone else is well

Crossing everything for you, Jbear. Would be a lovely way to finish the year. Xx

Thanks Andie, we're hoping the same.

Awesome J Bear! Thinking of you in this 2ww.. Everything crossed for you!

We have our 12 week scan next week and I also had the harmony blood test so just waiting for those results. Still feeling pretty sick but that's ok!

Oh how exciting Munchkin! Pitty about the sickness, hopefully it starts to ease soon.

Thanks for thinking of me, am trying to remain cautiously optimistic [emoji3] had some dull pain last night, hopefully a good sign.

Hanging in there, Jbear? Xx

Oh gosh am counting down the days! I got the progesterone pessaries started last night because the crinone is so expensive but I was a bit sore this morning & had a very light bleed when I did my morning wee, nothing since then. Wondering if I should continue with it?

Not long to wait now. Are you thinking the pessaries are irritating you?

Yup two more days! My test is 7am so I'll know by midday....I was thinking that but it was fine last night.

I remember getting irritation from the crinone one cycle. Similar thing happened, it was more like tinged pink pee rather than a bleed. So you're not testing this cycle?

Yeah that's what I had but it seems to be fine now. No I'm going to restrain myself & not test. I've been pretty busy planning some renovations so I haven't had too much time to agonise over it.

Hope you're well Andy & thanks for keeping me sane here x [emoji8]

Glad it hasn't been as stressful as some of the tww's you've had, and you're welcome! Xx

So my hcg is a low 20 looks like it won't be good news for us. Another test next Tuesday to find out what's happening.

How frustrating, jbear... [emoji20]. I know some pregnancies start out low but it would be a lot more reassuring if it were higher. How are you feeling? Xx

I was really hoping for much higher numbers but there is a tiny bit of hope in me. Still feel pretty emotional about the whole thing. Will just have to wait.

Unfortunately I think you're right, just have to wait. Some more [emoji53]

Yup will let u know what's what on Tuesday Andie. xx
