IVF with PGD # 11

Joe & Emma :hug: for you, so sorry you are bleeding Emma & joespratt it's so tough to have nothing to transfer :(

I'm sorry, joe. I don't really know what to say. It's just unfair. : (

Oh Joe - that is absolutely devastating news. I have tears for you. Life is so so cruel & unfair sometimes. I'm so sorry it's the end of the road for you. Thinking of you xx

Same goes for you Emma. Absolutely devastating for a pgd embryo not to work (I've had 6 of them fail on top of 5 other blasts) so I know how it feels. Just so unfair. I hope you are able to take some time out & save for another go. Have you had any immune treatment or other testing done? You are young so there should be good quality eggs in there. Thinking of you xx

Joe can you clear your inbox :)

Joe & Emma - I've been thinking of you both. I hope you are both are doing okay. Big hugs xxoo

Just popping in to see how you are doing elarwood. Few more days to bt. Hope you are travelling well xx

Hi Joe, beta tomorrow morning 13dp5dt. Nervous as anything. I have done a few POAS & they look promising but after my history of chemicals & ectopic I am no where near getting excited until I know the hcg numbers & viability. I know it's not embryo quality & more my immune issues - really petrified!

How are you holding up? I've been thinking of you. I couldn't imagine what you'd be feeling right now. I hope you've been giving your DD loads of cuddles - she's a special little miracle!

Oohh elarwood how exciting, I hope you get a good number at your blood test and things progress well, I'll be stalking

Way to go elarwood, sounds very promising for you :) hoping you get the best news tomorrow GL xxx

Still just processing it all but definitely getting in lots of special cuddles with my beautiful little princess :)

Hi everyone...
I'm upset to read that a few of you have been having a rough time :-( The ttc journey can be so cruel and I have learnt that so many people take falling pregnant and having a healthy baby for granted. Thinking of you Emma and Joe.
ellarwood also thinking of you and really hoping this one sticks for you!! after everything you have been through I hope you get your happy ending!!

AFM I have been well, 32 weeks now and not wishing the time away- like I said there is no taking this pregnancy for granted, I feel thankful everyday. Baby is small (4th percentile) so I am needing frequent scans to check growth so hoping baby can stay in there for as long as possible as I may need to deliver early.

Take care everyone

So great to hear from you Munchkin! Hoping the little one stays put for a few more weeks xxx

Any official word yet elarwood?

Sorry to keep you all in suspense haha!! I've tried posting a few times.

It's official - I'm pregnant! Hcg levels were 671 :-) after 9 cycles with 12 embryos including 7 CGH embryos that ended in 1 ectopic & 4 chemicals...cannot believe it!

To add to my previous post...

Joe - it takes a long time to work through the disappointment & grief. Such a difficult time for you both. I couldn't imagine being in that position since it was the end of your journey. I really hope you & DH are okay.

Munchkin - hello! Lovely to hear from you! Wow 32 weeks! That's flown! I remember cycling with you & I ended up with the ectopic. All the best for the rest of your pregnancy & that your little miracle continues to grow well & stays put until term.

Hi Minnie - thanks for checking up on me!

Hi to everyone else! Thank you all so much for being a wonderful support - there is no way I would have been able to get this far without being able to vent etc on here x

Elarwood I am so so happy for you :) after all that you have been through this is just magical! Wishing you the very best for a very happy, healthy, uneventful 9 months ahead. Be sure to keep us all posted on how you are doing xxx

Congratulations Elarwood!!! I so happy for you!!

Thinking of you Joe!

Just quickly popping in again, I met with my FN today to get the meds to start round 2! Just waiting on my next cycle to start to try again. Hoping to get to at least egg collection this time!

Take care everyone!

Elarwood great news, sending you lots of sticky vibes, hope things go well, will you have more blood tests in the next little while ?

Ellarwood that is wonderful news! so very happy for you... I hope you can sit back, relax and enjoy! Wishing you a smooth and healthy pregnancy. Yay!!

Thanks ladies, we are still in shock an cautiously excited. Repeat test on Friday & then heartbeat scan the next week. Ill be on immune treatment, so a little nervous of course but will take each day as it comes.

Snazzy - all the best for your cycle. I hope they have upped your meds so you get a good number of follicles.
