I am just popping by quickly to let you all know my EPU was thismorning and I got 27 eggs!!!!
I also got my uterus biopsy result back, and it came back as POSITIVE with NKcells in my uterus. My FS since the start of this cycle has treated me for worst case scenario, and I am so glad that he decidied to.
So this for the first time in my life, I have DIAGNOSED infertility, and am actually in with a chance this time!!
I will come back tomorrow to do persies to everyone, I am still a little doped up and in shock ATM to do a long post.
Kitkat, sorry, I completely missed your post because we were posting at the same time! Congratulations! That's a brilliant number!!
Kimbe, sorry to hear you had a painful transfer, but FX it's all worth it!!
Justina, I've got a link to a site with typical hormone levels on my blog. The catch is that it's an american site the they use different units, so there's also a link to a site for converting between them.
murraycod, wow! 27 eggs! How are you feeling? How are you feeling about the diagnosis as well?
I would love to join u if u don't mind (i was posting in another thread but this seems to be place to be).
Quick rundown of my situation:
I had my EPU last wednesday. 8 eggs retrieved, only 6 were suitable for ICSI.
Only 2 ended up fertilising normally. On saturday I received call to say that both embies were doing well, one with 8 cells and the other with 11 cells. They were graded good and fair. Was booked in for transfer on Monday.
When we got to clinic on monday, we were told that both embies were downgraded to poor as they had only reached early blast stage. They advised us to transfer both embies as neither would survive being frozen. Blood test is tomorrow week. My doc was very honest and said that she wasn't that confident & that she had to manage our
expectations. To be honest I am more prepared for a BFN, I think it's because we have been trying for nearly
18 months and you get used to being disappointed. At the same time, I am trying to be positive. DH is cute, he
keeps talking to the little embies and telling them to hang in there!
Murraycod - I know exactly how you feel with the NK cells diagnosis. Some people think it sounds strange to be 'happy' about having something like that but after 8 years of the old gems 'it's a numbers game', 'there's nothing wrong with either of you', 'you are what we call unexplained infertility' I was over the moon to finally have a reason for my inability to hold a pregnancy, especially after we are very lucky and produce loads of great quality blasts. We are currently in our second transfer using steroids to treat the nk cells.
Have a read of Dr Beer's 'Is your body baby friendly' if you can and it is very interesting and explains loads about unexplained infertility and how there is ALWAYS a reason. He also says in there that sometimes you will have a better chance with an FET because after a stim cycle your bodies estrogen is so high that this can in fact make your bone marrow produce more active nk cells so we are hoping that this FET will be the one for us.
Congrats on the number of eggs - here's to loads of great embies to follow.
Just wanted to thank everyone for the kind words. I really appreciate hearing them from my LTTTC girls! I am keeping my fingers crossed for a spate of BFPs from all of you doing your cycles this month. Bring on the BFPs!!!
Murraycod, congrats on finally getting a diagnosis. That must be such a relief to finally know what is wrong and that there is a way to fix it.
Justina, I wish I knew how to interpret your levels, but I don't. I hope they and your future BTs are exactly where they are supposed to be!
Trea, hope your TWW isn't getting to you to much. Sticky vibes! Go, BFP!
Kimbe, agree that your ET sounded awful. You poor thing! Fingers crossed that the little frozen blasty sticks!!
I probably won't be posting in here too much anymore, but please be assured that I'll definitely be lurking and praying that you all have the best of luck with your cycles.
Hugs,
Kitkat72

KitKat - Congratulations!! So nice to see a BFP here, gives us all some hope!
MurrayCod - nice cache of eggs there Well done. Feel better soon!
Hi to everyone else.
AFM, I am just waiting. DH won't let me out the house, or do anything - I guess I should take advantage of him doing everything I normally do But it is a little boring. And the waiting is aweful. You want to hope for the best, yet you are still anxious about everything.... Arg, I just hope next week and weekend go by fast and uneventfully.... Every time I pee I look for signs of bleeding/spotting!
