Sunbeam - Chocolate is definitely a love of mine! I don't have too much though (and I eat the super rich 85% dark choc!). I haven't had any coffee for months now but I do miss that buzz. I wonder if I would be more productive around here with a good caffeine hit... hmmm... I have a BT next Thurs (22nd) to see what my hormones are doing and was told that if everything is baseline, I can start with injections. So I think we will (hopefully) be in this together again!
Just a quickie as i am about to go to sleep. Good luck for Thursday Minnie! Sounds like thing are going good and you should get good numbers.
Great to hear you have 7 for biopsy, will be keeping everything crossed for your lil embies. All you need is one, but I was the same in wanting some to freeze.
j.bear: thanks for your thoughts, i hope you are going well
andie: anymore details on the embryos ?
elle: I agree it is very sweet that people pop in to wish us luck, its nice to have "stalkers" (supporters)
afm: well i have done my trigger, im feeling pretty blah tonight and im sure my vision is starting to get blurry like sunbeam got so im assuming its from the estrogen levels, bring on thursday !
hi ladies - results are in, and I think they're pretty good? ended up with 2 normal embryos, 1 of them a hatching blast (first time I've had one of those) which was transferred today. the second will be frozen today. others biopsied embryos were missing chromomes/trisomy etc. FS was very happy with quality of both embryos. i am too and glad we did a pgd cycle, but now nervous that if this one doesn't work as well - what next?! guess I will worry about that later... ; )
minnie - hope you're feeling ok, will be stalking tomorrow to see how you go. goodluck. xx
Andie, good luck with that embie you've got on board! Hope it is burrowing in and making itself a nice home for the next 8 months or so!! My BFP was from a hatching blast, a great sign!!
Minnie, goo dluckfor your EPU!
Hi all you other gorgeous ladies, hope you're doing well!
Andie: great news ! good you have one to freeze also, it was worth doing pgd for you to find those 2 normal ones
thanks everyone, i have been feeling really yuk all day today, the last 2 cycles i have gotten 6 or 7 embryos so i not expecting much different to that tomorrow (but hoping for more of course), i have to be at the hospital at 7am for 8am epu so will update after that
Hi girls, quick update, I got 18 eggs at epu !!!! How can you go from 6 & 7 to 18 ??! I was so shocked, of course I'm expecting to lose a lot along the way & the fs said if we get 7-10 to test they won't want to do another stim.
Its difficult to put a number on it & of course I don't want to do another stim if I don't have to but I also don't want to regret not doing the 2nd stim.......
great news, minnie! they were obviously being very conservative telling you 6-7! fingers crossed for fertalisation, 7-10 to biopsy would be wonderful. take care of yourself, 18 is a lot to come out of there! : )
Thanks bright future & Andie, they just rang and said we have 13 mature & they have been icsi'd now & they will call tomorrow with fertilization rates. They have also decided to freeze them tomorrow instead of day two.
Andie: the didn't estimate 6-7, I meant in my 1st Ivf cycle I got 7 eggs & in my 2nd I got 6 so I was shocked today that there was such a big increase to 18 ! Hope your little one is snuggling in tight
***Sneaking in to wish Minnie all the best. I had 5 eggs my first EPU, 8 the second, 17 (of which 9 were mature) the third and 9 the last one. All same meds
oh, ok - got it! did you do anything different this cycle? 13 icsi'd sounds promising. how does your clinic do pgd? (what day do they biopsy & why are they freezing tomorrow). just curious, seems like clinics have different procedures. hope you're still resting. ; )
