Hi Paula, that is great news.
I don't want to be negative but with my first experience I thought it wise to share with you so you can make a more informed decision.
In my first stimulated cycle I had 22 eggs collected, but like you only 10 were mature enough. All 10 fertilised but only 4 survived. I later found out that sometimes with so many stimulated, not many have the chance to mature (then again you only need one mature to be pg which I know someone who did, so numbers only give you more chances but not necessary the lottery prize).
It appears that your doctor is attempting to culture the embies to day 5. The risk of day 5 is that we might not have any surviving to day 5 so I would recommend that you talk to your FS and discuss, weigh up your options on day 3. One option is to freeze some day 3 and culture the rest to day 5.
Anyway sorry if I sound negative. Just from experience, I wished someone had told me these things. I would have made a different decision back then.
Good luck

Good news Paula, good luck...I hope you have plenty of strong embryos in that lot.

Paula - the news just keeps getting better! :pray: for your 9 little embies to keep growing and growing.

HI everyone,
Just popping in to say 'hello'.
Paula I'm praying for you as well that everything goes well
Possums Good luck for tomorrow!
AFM I have my second scan tomorrow. Feeling a bit nervous - they could only find one ovary yesterday as one of mine is up high. The one they found only had one follicle about 12mm (or whatever the measurement is) and there were another two that were smaller. In my scan around ovulution before all this there were fifteen...so I have no idea what's going on.
Today I got off the bus from work and saw a Mum with a little baby in a pram - I started to cry. Geez its an up and down journey. And so hard to explain to other people who haven't gone through it.
Talk to everyone soon

Possums -sending you lots of hugs and baby vibes. As everyone says, its not over until its over. GL with tomorrow's BT
Bel - Are you ok?
BecD - I think we all hear you on how upsetting other's pg anouncements can be. I know a few people who either fell pg on the pill or within a mth of coming off. It still upsets me but with time, i am becoming more hardened to it all
Paula - wow!! great numbers. Lets hope all those 9 embies just keep on growing and growing
Janie - Great news re your nephew. must be a real fighter.
TL - Hope those babies are snuggling in for the long haul
AB - sounds like there will be 3 of us testing on the 23rd - lets hope good things come in threes!!
saph - so sorry darl. Have a few beers I say!
KateB - GL with scan tomorrow.Hope those follies are getting going
AFM - Getting anxious as the days tick over. Today i feel a bit sickly but who knows if it means anything as I am also getting some cramping. I do get minor cramping with pg but this sems a bit more like AF -type. Just seems a bit early since only 8dpo. Saw my FS yesterday and now have a plan B. If this cycle is no good then Will give IUI one more go with E2 patches to try and help lining more and allow me time to have the pre IVF councelling etc. Then straight into antagonist IVF cycle. I hope I don't need to go this far but feel better about having a plan and cutting out some waiting time

Hi Everyone
So pleased to drop in tonight and see so many of you are doing well.
TL- I pray your bubbies stick and your on your way to be being a mummy!!
MissK- I hope your OHSS settles but i have a good feeling you have a bubby in there thats making you very sick.
Im really bad at remembering names but i too can understand about being impatient, i dont know many women who pray there AF does what its supposed to and arrive on time. AFM well i have absolutely NO IDEA what my body thinks its doing with AF coming and going daily even though it only finished a week ago......so frustrating. Rang my FS and they got me in monday hope he knows whats going on (at least one of us should).
Talk Soon
Bee (24) DH(30)

Hi
Thought i would drag myself in and say hello! Im not sure I am in the right thread. We have been TTC for 11 cycles and just found out that I have hormone problems (elevated prolactin) inhibiting conception, and poor sperm on DH's part.
My prolactin levels are higher than a woman who is demand-breast feeding, which inhibits the other hormones required for conception. Bugger!
So it seems this will be a long term thing and I will get to know you ladies well :).
-
Nicoles yes this was a short cycle as i am going away on 21st aug so i wouldnt of had time to do the whole long cycle. I took provera to bring on my period, i took synarel and then puregon 175 then dropped to 150.
Kahlan i dont think your being negative at all. i love to hear all sort of stories because it prepares me for the worst so thanks for sharing.
KateB good luck with your scan today. hopefully you will find more nice sized follies. GL.
Saph so sorry to hear about your BFN..:hug: Enjoy your beer and holiday to queensland and im sure October will be your month.
MeredithD im sure they arent AF cramps. Hang in there and think positive.
oscarroscar welcome to our thread. I hope that your stay in this thread is short and sweet and that you make the most of all the wonderful support all the ladies in this thread offer.
Well i still have sore ovaries but i weighed myself and no extra weight which is fantastic. I have been drinking all my water and resting so hopefully i avoid the worst case OHSS. Waiting on call from nurses to tell me how many embies have made it through the night.
-
Hi all, just posted in the TWW but wanted to post in this thread to, that sadly I got a BFN today. :(
in August or Sept we'll do a FET with our one little frostie.
we're pretty sad and dissapointed.
all the best to all of you.
-
Possums - I am so sorry for you sweetheart. All my love and comfort is coming your way right now - there are no words, but know me (and all the other beautiful women here) are hugging you across space.
Kate

Hi everyone,
A second post - that last one was just for Possums.
I had my second scan and blood test today and they can only find six follicles in total, two of which are getting there, the other four are smaller. I don't understand. When I had a scan before all this to see if there were any issues up there I had fifteen follicles. Shouldn't the FSH make more follicles, not less? :dunno:
I'm up to day 9 today.
Kate

Thanks Kate for your kind words. Like you I cry sometimes when I see mum's pushing little ones in prams. (and especially today!)
Sorry things aren't progressing how they should be with your follicles. It can be so frustrating when our bodies don't react they way they should.
-
Possums sorry to hear you got a BFN today. Cyber hugs :hug:. It can be really really devastating. Hang in there.
-
So sorry possums.. sending you lots of virtual :hug:
KateB im not sure. Like you i would think that the puregon would help produce more follies?! Did you mention this to the nurses?
Nurse called me today to let me know that all 9 embies have made it through the night and have grown nicely :dance: :cheer::hooray: I totally understand that anything can happen from now till Monday but its still great to hear.
