IVF with PGD # 9

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 - :hug: 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. :)

ooohh andie you sneaky thing ! yay that the scan went great, i bet you were stressed beforehand ! :happyforyou:

yes, I definitely was. was doing on until I walked in to the imaging ctr & spontaneously started crying. ooops!

Oh Andie that is so fantastic I'm thrilled for you. I hope everything continues just as smoothly :leap: Please keep us posted.

Andie!! That is awesome news!! I hope everything continues to go well (and smoothly) for you...:D

Well last ever FSH and Lucrin done! Trigger at 6.30pm tonight and then no more needles ever for IVF! Feels very weird.

sunbeam - yay, for no more needles! fingers crossed for epu tomorrow, ill be stalking you for an update. ;)

hi everyone else. :)

Good luck for EPU tomorrow, Sunbeam! I hope you've saved the absolute best for last.:)

Sneaks in yay for trigger sunbeam! Goodluck and happy harvesting x

Hi girls,
Home now, got 17 eggies :D resting up now.

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

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

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!

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.:)

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. :dance:

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

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... : )

Sunbeam that is a wonderful result!!

sunbeam: great epu amount, what a fantastic cycle to finish on !! hope you are feeling ok :hug:

elle its you and me cycling next !

andie, bright future, jbear, hope you are all doing well :)
