Hi Minnie - it's so hard to relax isn't it, I hope the blood tests can bring you some relief - I'd be feeling the same as you! Let us know how the bt goes on Friday, I have every single ounce of my body crossed for you xx
AFM - well I have some fabulous news, I ended up having to call the clinic because I never heard from them yesterday and the stress of not knowing was giving me heart palpitations lol. They totally forgot to call and felt so bad but all 3 embies have made it to day 2 and divided as necessary, 2 at 4 cells and 1 at 5 cells so they have put them on ice ready for PGD next cycle (hopefully). Cannot believe it and I'm too scared to get too excited as I know it's so so early but I have had nothing go my way for so long now this is giving me just a little hope at least. She said it's awesome to get 3 out of 3 so I was happy with that, now all I need to hope is that it's quality over quantity hey!!!! Feeling pretty crap though, they have told me to drink 3 litres of water and I'm a terrible water drinker, I'm trying but i'm really struggling but I'm so bloated I feel like my tummy is going to burst and I'm very crampy, is that all normal? I don't know what to worry about, what's leftovers and what's the Provera as I've not been on that before either. Plus I'm in the Clexane injections. Hope I feel better tomorrow as I'm starting to worry a bit.
Alison: yay for your little embies, are you going straight into another cycle ?
Elle: any news ?
I had my blood test today, hcg went from 166 to 557 & progesterone (without pessaries) went from 127 to 420 !! I couldn't believe it !! So all looking good for now
It's been a while since I checked in and oh my god so much has happened! Huge congrats to Minnie and Allison!! You beautiful ladies give me so much hope
I finally Oed today and have my transfer date of Thursday for little nemo. Which is my wedding anniversary, and I got offered a great (more family friendly) job yesterday, and I just found out they will be using the new medium for thawing that has like a 98 percent thaw rate. Um thanks universe, I get the hint...this is meant to be!
minnie - Your numbers sound great! So happy for you!!
Alison - That's amazing - your story and the result! Nice work! When are you planning another cycle?
babymama - What a great update! Best of luck for Thursday. Sending loads of sticky vibes for Nemo!
Sunbeam - Sorry about your latest stresses. The outcome sounds like it might be really positive though; you seem to have a lot of support in your new journey (and if the potential donor is/was not trustworthy, best to know now before going any further). I hope that everything goes your way after your well-deserved break. Sending you big hugs!
Hi Andie, JoeSpratt, J.Bear...!
AFM - I can't believe I can actually say this, but I'M PREGNANT!! I found out yesterday afternoon and we are so so thrilled! It still feels so surreal, really hard to believe it is all actually happening. I haven't shared a whole lot of my story here but it has been a really long, painful journey and I think it will take a while for it to sink in. Fingers crossed that this little one stays and grows and continues to be a good little emby . My levels yesterday (9dp5dt) were HCG: 144, Prog: 160. I don't know too much about the levels, except that I was told they were looking good so far (??). I have another BT on Tuesday to check levels again and make sure all is progressing well. Eeeeeeee
Thanks, ladies! We're so happy and just hoping that everything continues to go well. My BT results from yesterday were HCG 758, Prog 196 - so all looking good so far Another BT next Tues (and then I'm *hoping* a scan not long after).
Hi BabyMama - oooh sorry I missed your post (I don't get notifications anymore for some reason) - I hope Nemo is settling into their new home nice and snug xx
Hi Minniemouse - wow your numbers are going up amazingly, there's not 2 in there is there? ha ha. I'm much better this week, struggled with the recovery from the collection, remind me to really drink the 3 litres of water they tell you to next time, I was in so much pain from the bloating I felt awful but all good by the Friday. I'm just in boring limbo land now, finished the Provera last night and just waiting on AF. Have to sit this cycle out and then next AF get going again. I hate waiting........... So when is your scan, is it a 7 week one? xx
babymama - hope you're coping ok in the tww... it can be an anxious time. wishing you the best of luck.
minnie - your numbers sound great too! completely understand your fear of the scan, i think i told you i cried at mine... even before i went in. i will have everything crossed for you. xx (i am well, had ob appt yesterday, heard the heartbeat which is always a relief. next big appt will be around the end of march, 21 weeks).
Great numbers Elle & Minnie! Sounds like everything is going really well.
Babymamma, my only advice is drink lots of water & make sure u don't do anything you don't feel comfortable with (like lifting heavy things ect), there's nothing worse than worrying that the outcome might be effected because u lifted something heavy or over did it. Goodluck hope that lil nemo is nice & comfy in there & sticks nicely.
Sunbeam, how r u doing? Any news? I'm hoping everything is starting to pan out for u.
Andie! I can't believe u'll be 20 weeks in march!!!! How exciting : )
AFM, I'm 25 weeks as of last Thursday everything is going well. Always thinking of our journey & all of u lovely ladies.
Hi Andie and J Bear - glad everything's going well for you, 25 weeks already wow!
AFM - I'm in boring limbo......finished the Provera 3 days ago and still no sign of AF, I was hoping due to my crap progesterone levels in a natural cycle that as soon as I stopped them AF would come. I always get it 2 days after finishing the pessaries, do these absorb more or something as the pessaries are a higher dose? Anyway not much I can do but wait wait wait. So, by the time this cycle comes and goes and I start the next round it will be 2 months in between. Which also means if I don't get my minimum of 6 eggs out of the 2 cycles I may have to go back for a 3rd cycle which would be yet another 2 months from the next one. Argh this is so annoying, I'm ready to go again, I hate waiting, patience was never my virtue lol.
i will have everything crossed for you. xx (i am well, had ob appt yesterday, heard the heartbeat which is always a relief. next big appt will be around the end of march, 21 weeks).
