Just herad from the clinic. Of the 23, 17 were mature and fertilised and of those 13 are good so I am very happy with the number. I only really had my heart set on 10 so very happy with the result
Tues is the day for T/F so here we go.
Twomums - Hope you are doing well after your T/F and lots of luck
Rob - That is fantastic news. Great fertilisation rates! Congrats!
Loops - Glad AF finally arrived so you can get back on that horse and try try again...all the best for this cycle!
Bella - I think your e2 levels are really good for 6 days of injections, Kims was only 72!! Its only early in the game, next scan and bloods will be the tell tale!!
Mindhugs - That is fantastic an egg for every follicle!! Cant wait to hear about fertilisation !!! Good on you!!
BabyDreamTime - Have you had your BT yet??
Kmond - Everyone is different, but usually about day 10 or 11 you have your 1st scan, so about 6 days of stims..
Big hi to everyone else!!
Well we had the transfer this morning. When we got there we had:
2 x 6 cells at Grade2+ (the two we put back)
1 x 5 cell at Grade2+ (one we are going to freeze)
1 x 4 cell at Grade2 (one that has probaby arrested)
I asked if they should have been 8 cells by now and she said that because it is so early on the 3rd day they are perfectly good embryo's. I asked if the 4 cell was the one that was only 2 cells yesterday, and she said no, that the 2 cell from yesterday was now a 5 cell, good enough to freeze. The other one that is a 4 cell was already a 4 cell yesterday and most likely wont be good enough to freeze. They will check it this afternoon to see if it has changed to a 5 or 6 cell, but it has most likely arrested. Wont know until Monday.
So we have the best two embryos that are perfectly great embryo's on board! Kim went to accupuncture yesterday afternoon at 5pm and today after the transfer at 10am. We arent going to do anymore, the accupuncturist said that studies have shown that before and after transfer is all that is required. She put these little round sticky plasters that are like tiny thumb tacks into Kim's ear and she said they can stay in for up to 7 days to assist implantation. Now all we can do is hope and pray!!!
2mums: great news with your embies. your twins are on board, now the TWW. hope it goes fast and we look forward to hearing some good news good luck
rob: wow 23 eggs, you must be sore?, good job by sound of it. how many you putting in ? by DH says not sure about IVF again ( ever) but we're talking and thats a positive. thanks for your encouragement, you prob understand me more, but been feeling very alone lately. good luck to you.
kmond: 1 felt same with synarel as you, had no real side effects they said but it worked for me. i actually had no side effects ( apart from bloating ) with injections too but i had all of them with crinone gel. go my fingers crossed for you.
sara: good luck 2 u .
BDT: know how u r feeling. pray u r wrong, and nasty AF doesn't come. good luck
mindhugs: your advice sounds good for the injections. good luck to you.
loops: how r you going? nasty AF, we hate her most of the time, she is an unwelcomed visitor in our house. ha ha. good luck to you.
bella: hope those follies keep on growing, got fingers crossed
kurby: not long til start jabbing. hope it goes well 4 u.
if i missed you : so sorry
afm:
well who really knows?
DH or should i leave out the D in front of that ?!, has said yes lets do another IVF, but now he is saying no again, he wants to adopt.
he doesn't want to go thru all the emotions of IVF as it was a very hard year for us with all this TTC, and 6 BFN.
i don't know, i am still sad, AF is still here (i hate her BTW). i still feel a little lost but i have some time off this arvo for 2 hrs, do DH.
so maybe IVF, maybe not ? it's all up to DH as i am perfectly fertile.
Just an update, I had to call the IVF lab, i couldnt wait until monday to find out about the other embryos. The embryologist said that the 4 cell became a 5 cell and the 5 cell became a 6 cell (both grade 2) so both have been frozen. We have two snow babies!!! Yahoo!! These two were the last to be injected she said so that would be why they were behind. She said that the embryos were 60 hours old when we transferred so not quite 3 day embryos, hence why they didnt have 8 cells. Anyhow, not much we can do now. We are so pleased with the result from 5 mature eggs, 2 to transfer (by choice) and 2 frozen. Thank you everyone for encouraging us through this up and down cycle.
Twomums - thats great results - i'm really excited for you both! Thanks also for the reassurrance - second scan and b/t tom am at 845 so will update tom. xx
Rob - Gl today
Sorry don't have time for personals but thinking of you all and sending you lots of
AFM - Very happy as it looks like the bank is going to approve our home loan and so DH and I will be buying our first house - we hope that everything continues to go well from there and that we can start a family to make the house a home. So to speak
Has anyone AFTER taking hormone injections had AF only last for about 3 days? I've just had the shortest period in history. Cheers
Rob - GL today with your transfer, we will be in the TWW wait together with twins!!!! lots of for you!!
JBM - Hi how you doing hun??? I think hubby might just need some time to absorb what is happening. What if you did another stim cycle and got a whole new batch of embryos!! A different batch might be the trick!!
BabyDreamTime - I dont know how you do it...you are so strong and an inspiration. We fully intend to keep going at it this year until we get our bub! You will get yours too!!
Jaxi - I hope you are feeling better. GL with your appt!
Mindhugs - 3 blasties!! Good on you!!! Blasties are rare-uns! I'd be happy to get one to blastie stage! C'mon May!!!
Bella - See, glad you are on the up and up!!!
Lani - The AC is great isnt it, if it doesnt help with the implantation etc, it really is great for stress and stuff!!!
Wouldlovabubba - Hope the TWW isnt sending you insane! We are only 3 days in!!!
EmmaPenguin - It cant be the Pregnyl if it was neg one day and positive the next. It would be a line then get lighter, not no line then a line the next day... I reckon you are UTD!!!!!!!!!!!
Big for everyone!!!!!
Kim and I are doing ok, she had 3 days off work after the transfer and laid around watching foxtel and dvd's all weekend. Her first day back is today and all the kids at her work (she manages a KFC store) know everything and they will do all the lifting etc!! They have already nicknamed to twins Petrie and Pipette!!!! How cute is that!!!
mindhugs: good job with eggs. some people get none for freezer, it only takes one for a pregnancy and a baby. fingers crossed. my tum took ages to go back to norm and people started asking if i was preg, lol. good luck to you
wlb:good job , now the TWW, try to keep busy. not long to go for that BFP
emma: gas is not fun and i had heaps. dh thought that ladies don't pass gas, but it was heaps. lol so funnny fingers crossed for that BFP
lani:glad your acu went well. so relaxing.good luck
rob: fingers crossed for twins. good luck in TWW
loops: my af was all over the place aft injections, 3 days and then came back in 2 weeks, it took a couple of months to go back to normal. good luck
2 mums: IVF for us we will have to discuss furthur. it's hard when we were told we were in high fertile group and got all BFN, both bit scared, what if all BFN again? then what. just taking some time doing nothing ATM. thanks for your thoughts.
BTW love the name for the twins, can't wait to hear the exciting news after the TWW ends.
AFM: well school and work and life keeps me busy, havn't made any plans for future for our next baby yet, just taking some us time to recover, i need it.
mindhugs - I can definitely relate to the bloatedness. I had 22 eggs at EPU and so as expected, a lot of gas. It was quite uncomfortable. I think mine eased off when AF arrived....which was a bummer. Hope you have better luck.
About me - I was supposed to start thaw cycle this month (last week) but cancelled due to lack of OV. On the positive, at least my FS agrees that I don't always ovulate (blood tests and other tests have always shown I do) so maybe he can suggest an alternative treatment. On the negative, this means yet another month lost. My big worry is what if the frozen doesn't thaw properly....then we lose yet another month.
