alison: how frustrating you have to wait another cycle, the waiting is so hard
andie: for you with your scare, hope things settle down from here, good to hear bubba is all good
elle: how are you going ? come and update us
babymama: how are things with you ? have you had a scan yet ?
hi to everyone else
afm: i had another scan yesterday, all is looking good, my symptoms decreased on the weekend and i was really worried things were over but bubba was in there measuring 9 weeks and 1 day, next scan is the NT, hopefully all goes well until then
Hi Minnie - so glad everything is going well gosh how scary for you, I imagine we'll all be feeling this way when we finally get our BFP's. Do you plan on finding out bub's sex later on? So excited for you xx
AFM - well turns out I don't have to go on Provera after all, because AF came when it did (albeit it super early) it lines up nicely with my next collection so that's good. Fingers crossed for some extra follies this next one. Has anyone on here done the testing on less than 6 eggs?
I did my PGD a long time ago (6 years - eep!) when freezing wasn't as reliable. 2 embryos made it to testing (out of 12 eggs), and both were free of my silly gene. Both were transferred, as my FS thought that gave them the best chance. And 1 turned into DS.
At that time testing any embryos you had was standard practice.
It depends a bit on why you are having the PGD - if there is a specific gene you are trying to avoid then it may make sense to test smaller numbers; if you are trying to find the viable embryos in a lot of not so healthy ones then you may need to get a bigger batch.
minnie - great news about your scan, very pleased for you! xx
alison - i got 7 embryos to testing, 2 came back normal. i am 34 with no known genetic problems & unexplained infertility. i was told that my result was what they expect to see in a batch of that amount. i hope you get a nice batch for testing, 6 would be a great number. goodluck, ill be stalking.
hi everyone else, hope you are all doing well - cycling or waiting to cycle, waiting for scans etc.
Alison - With my first PGD cycle, I got 9 eggs collected, 8 fertilised, 6 made it to testing, results only conclusive on 2 which were deemed normal with one resulting in DD & the other
It was the first time my clinic had done PGD for this gene & were ecstatic with the result!
AF finally came so I am back on the pill to get everything aligned. The clinic called to say we are booked in for 13 May (& no it's not a Friday - had to check!).let the countdown begin!!!! (Just a little excited )
for you with your scare, hope things settle down from here, good to hear bubba is all good
