IVF with PGD # 9

**Andie78** · December 11th, 2012, 07:17 AM

hi ladies, thankyou for the well wishes. i actually had my scan yesterday... bit cheeky but i needed a day to let it settle i think. we saw a heartbeat and everything looked normal, thankgod. i am still worried that something will go wrong of course, and will probably not relax until that 12 week mark (maybe longer?!). still doesnt feel real, and i am feeling fine so far. i will be having another scan just after christmas, around the 9-10 week mark, just to make sure things are still ok in there.

elle -

i hope next year is kinder to you.

sunbeam - sounds like things are on track for you, getting a little exciting now...!

hi minnie & jo.

Hi girls,
Home now, got 17 eggies

resting up now.

**Joeve** · December 14th, 2012, 10:35 AM

Wow 17!! Woo hoo! Hope you're not too sore!

**Andie78** · December 14th, 2012, 01:28 PM

wow - is that a record for you, sunbeam?! nice job.

**Sunbeam** · December 14th, 2012, 02:01 PM

Hi girls,

Joeve - I was sore straight after and had a couple of shots of Pethidine. Not too sore now but still quite sleepy from my anesthetic. Your ticker seems to be moving a bit faster these days lol.

Andie - No my record was 20 on my first ever stim back in Oct 2010 so pretty pleased I can still get such good numbers. 30 eggs in 7 weeks, my poor ovaries!

**elle.** · December 14th, 2012, 04:05 PM

That's awesome, Sunbeam!! Rest up now and take care of yourself (and those hard-working ovaries!). Thanks for updating, I was wondering how you got on.

**Sunbeam** · December 15th, 2012, 08:02 AM

Hi Girls

Eggie update. Of the 17, 16 were able to be ICSIed and 13 fertilized and all 13 will be frozen today ready for thawing and PGD in Jan.

Me update. Feeling totally fine so completely different to last EPU!

**Andie78** · December 15th, 2012, 02:55 PM

oh, wow! what a great result sunbeam, you must be pretty pleased with that! glad that you're feeling well too, don't forget to relax & keep up with the water though... : )
