hi ladies, just a quick one - had scan today and looks like epu will be wednesday/thursday this week. think i've responded quite well this time round, so a bit tender and FS has decreased puregon dose to coast until then. havent had to decrease dose before mid-cycle, anyone else done this and still had ok eggs/embryos?... just having a little worry, nothing to big as there is not much i can do at this point anyway! xx
Andie: that all sounds good, I have had my meds stopped 4 days before epu & I have had epu on day 13, that's good you have responded well
Elle: I hope you enjoy your few weeks break & can get back into another cycle before the end of the year
Jbear: I hope things are going well for you
Sunbeam: not long til the next cycle starts for you !
Bright future: I hope your scan went well, come in & update us
afm: I started injections on fri, I'm on 3 injections a night now & because I'm away I'm not having any monitoring for another week (my nurse nearly had a nervous breakdown about that !) so hopefully everything is going ok
minnie, hope everything is travelling nicely in there!
Andie - good luck in your EPU, hope you get heaps of great eggs!!! I didn't do the "coasting" thing but I have read about it a lot, I think it's pretty common.
Elle - how is your hand?? Ouch!! Did you need stitches?
Sunbeam, JBear, hope you're doing well!!
AFM, scan was great, it was the cutest thing ever. Bub is looking as good as possible at this stage and I am finally starting to relax and enjoy the pregnancy and get excited. We had a big family do on the weekend so it was really nice to be "out" with the news by then. Thanks for your good wishes!!
thanks minnie & bf, im confident in my FS and their instructions... just cant help worrying a little along the way.
bf - great news about the scan, how exciting!
minnie - 3 a night... bugger. im trying to dodge bruises with just one a day atm, cant imagine finding the room for 3 a day. hope you enjoy your time away.
Any news on how many embies you got Andie?
Yes my brother had lat band surgery 2 years ago and is 4lb from being the same weight he was at 14! He looks fantastic I'm very proud of him. My dad and him had the surgery together but dad has not done quite as well but still lost a fair bit.
Sneaking in the spread some baby dust to you all and roll andie, MM and sunbeam in some from head to toe! Hope you are all graduating from here soon xx sneaks out.
got call from FS, we have 7 embryos's that look suitable for biopsy at this stage - all 4 cells at day 2. these may not all continue to divide overnight and we could lose some more before they are biopsied tomorrow (my clinic biopsies on day 3). FS was happy with this number, but it just seems so depressing going from 13 to 7. realistically we will lose more overnight, so probably looking at around 3-4? does that sound reasonable? i have a day 2 embryo on ice from a previous stim, so they will thaw that out today and hopefully it will be able to be biopsied too. so maybe 4? if im lucky 5? this waiting bit sucks...
Andie - Best of luck!! I have everything crossed for you that those embies stay strong. Keep us posted (and have a nice Sunday - do something that makes you feel happy!).
Sunbeam - Hope you're feeling well. I think we may be cycle buddies again! Let's see how we go this round...
Minnie, J.Bear, b*f - hope you're all doing well!
AFM - Thanks, ladies. I don't feel quite as much of a basket-case after reading your replies. I think I will just take it easy (and trrrry and relax about all of the stresses).
andie: great haul of eggs, i know its hard seeing the numbers drop but where you are at now is what i got at epu so you are already ahead of me ! i hope the embryos are doing well and the biopsy goes well tomorrow. I hope your frosty thaws out perfectly and can get biopsied too
elle: how is your hand and how is the unpacking going ?
sunbeam: i hope the pill is going ok for you
joeve: thanks for popping in and your baby dust hope you are doing well
afm: we are back from our trip, hopefully everything is going ok with the follicles, im having my first blood test and scan tomorrow and probably epu thursday, I'm a bit nervous actually because I'm not anywhere as uncomfortable as last time so not sure what i will see tomorrow
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
