Long Term TTC & Assisted Conception July/August 2013

[1 more please]

CatyO praying your bt comes back that your hcg is now at zero it must be very frustrating for you xxx

glorious really hoping you got lots of perfect eggies xxx

Emma I'm so sorry I honestly don't know so I will leave it to someone who does but want send you hugs xxx

afm: First I would love to thank all you wonderful ladies for your well wishes with my bt today it was honestly greatly appreciated.
I have rang my fs oh about 5 times to get the stupid results and I still don't have them so not happy. I will be ringing first thing in the
morning again:-(

[myturn]

Emma I am wondering if you could try and get the PHI as a selling point -- ie ill buy our product if you make it without a waiting list. This is what I want... Can you give it to me, cause I will go wherever I can get it.

.... Or call Iselect and see if they can find a product with someone who is prepared to waive the waiting periods....

Just a thought

[Emma09]

Thanks Myturn... I think ill ring tomorrow

Good luck glorious with your fertilising rates!

I've been researching and it would be considered a pre-existing condition so the waiting would be 12 months.

To get obstetric/assisted conception/reproductive stuff covered you need to get top level cover which, for families is about $3,500 a year.

hmmm... Maybe she would be better off getting individual cover??

and I guess it's something to consider getting anyway... Even with a wait time. You could do this publicly, but if you need something down the track you are covered..??

GL glorious hope all those eggies fertilize

[CatyO]

Good luck Glorious, l hope all of them fertilise
AFM, l got the bt results hcg levels 5.7 The nurse said that is considered negative, and l dont need to have another bt, is that ok? Or you guys would ask for another bt say for example on Friday to make sure it dropps to zero?

I always thought five was considered negative.. But my last cycle they made me go back with a 4 and be retested two days later... Its funny how different clinics do things differently.

CatyO, if it would make you feel better, I'd ask to go back for another. Like myturn, I'd always thought below 5 was considered negative, but that's pretty darn close to being there and I'd personally be okay with stopping. I actually never had b/t monitoring of my hcg levels after either of my m/c. When the chem pg was predicted (ie hcg had dropped to 81 from previous test of 105) I was just told to come back in 2 weeks if I hadn't started bleeding; the FS did no further b/t. After the d&c I just had a 6 week post-op appt, no b/t, but I did test out the hcg with HPTs and would have called the OB if they hadn't gone negative.

N2L, we're on second top cover and our family annual premium was just over $4k this year! I'd hate to imagine how much it would be for the top cover! But it has always covered everything I needed for IVF and the laps. We had the policy as a single only (DH just had the minimum required to avoid extra tax) until DD was born and then switched to family.

[glorious]

it is below 5 is neg.

I just got a message and all 5 have fertilised!! now for them to split and do their thing

[Bunnyfeet]

Great news Glorious!

[JoeSpratt]

Geez juniper you were up early this morning to do the list...everything ok?

Well done glorious! Hope all 5 continue to do their thing

[Kel82]

Bestrong, I didn't think I needed a laparoscopy but I am glad they did as they found severe endometrosis and a very infected left tube which they removed, I had no symptoms at all. They believe that this procedure will now improve my chances conceiving via ivf. Recovery can vary between people, I had mine4 weeks ago and I am ok but still just taking it easy. I think as far as staring another cycle goes, it will depend on when your cycle gets back to normal, after my first lap, I missed a month altogether, after this second one, I am now one week late already. But I think it is all worth the wait if I have a better chance now to conceive. I don't mean to scare you as they may find nothing wrong at all but at least then you will know.

[Emma09]

Juniper- could I please be updated to CD6?

[1 more please]

Juniper could you please move me to the BFP list please

glorious 5 eggs is fantastic I have everything crossed for great fertilisation rates for you xxx

afm: just got my results back and really happy at 4 weeks 2 days my hcg is 1130 and progesterone is 86!!!!!!!!

[Bunnyfeet]

Wow congratulations Rai great numbers x

[Jasmine00]

Rai, WOW they are great looking numbers honey! Yay for moving to BFP section on the listy Xx

Glorious, Well done on all 5 eggs fertilizing. Fingers crossed they continue to progress nicely Xx

Bunny, How are you going? Are you tempted to POAS yet?

AFM, The clinic just called and had a chat to me about whether we would like to transfer just one or both our embryos this cycle. They are recommending that if they can get my lining good enough for a transfer that we use both our blasts. They said it would take our chance of success from 39% to 57%... But obviously with that also comes the risks of twins. All that said of our two embryos one is a 'good' day 5 blast.. The other was a slower progressing embryo frozen at day 6. So maybe it's not worth just transferring one and then potentially have to go through another cycle again with only a lower grade embryo??
Any thoughts ladies... I never really thought about how hard this decision could be...
