    Hey Ladies, thought it was about time I joined this thread as I have been lucking for many months.
    This is my first IVF cycle so any advise or knowledge is greatly appreciated.

    Had bloods and US done this morning and had a total of 10 follicles:-
    (my dosage is 125 Peregon and using Orgalutran)
    Right Ovary - 20.2, 16.2, 16.0, 13.4 and 11.6
    Light Side - 21.6, 16.2, 15.5, 15.3 and 13.5
    Endometrium measured at 7.4
    The nurse will call back this afternoon to discuss further dosages. She also gave me the Ovidrel for latter in the week and two lots of Pessaries.
    I hope this all looks good, the nurse still thinks EPU will be Friday...
    I look forward to sharing our journeys together, and will pop in latter and check how you are going on....
    Have a great day ladies

    Hi Everyone,
    Well I am not sure if this is good news or bad news??? I am so confused.
    Got our fertilisation results and they are as follows:
    6 eggs collected
    5 suitable (ICSI)
    4 fertilised
    3 look suitable for a transfer

    Just spoke to my nurse and she said the scientists are pushing for a day 3 transfer which means transfer is tomorrow...

    I was always told that I was to ahve a day 5 transfer which looks like most of you girls have had. Is a day three transfer less sucessful? Does this mean I won't have any embryo's to freeze?

    OMG I am so confused, I feel like my body has failed me. My nurse said we need to be guided by the scientists and experts.

    Has anyone had or heard of anyone with success with a day 3 transfer???? I hope so.

    Help please...

    Tigergal..... I had 10 and 3 fertilized through ICSI.. Pick up was on Friday and transfer was on Monday. We decided to transfer 2 and the third was not strong enough to freeze. Both of our s stuck. and for a period of time I had my beautiful twins.... goodness your tummy grows quickly with twins... but anyway... I digress..... Dont stress over it girl... your FS is the one who knows the size and how well your little bollies are going... Absolute best of wishes to you for tomorrow. Many many sticky vibes coming your way

    So yes a 3 day transfer works.....

    Hi Everyone!

    TigerGal - I had 20 follicles on my last scan before EPU; out of those 12 eggs were collected; 8 of those fertilised by ICSI; 1 transferred and 7 to freeze. My clinic normally does 3 day transfers as a matter of course. I think they only do 5 day in specific cases.

    Nicole, all is looking really good... Best of luck for a Friday EPU!

    Hi Treelo... hope you get that BFP soon.

    BecD great to hear that you are feeling better.

    AFM, I'm peeved off at my body again. I had a bit of old blood spotting (TMI) around the time of my negative blood test, but have not got a proper period still and it is 6 days since I last used Crinone. Rang nurses yesterday and they said just to wait another week. I know my body so well now, that I knew waiting another week was not going to do anything. So rang FS today and he thinks that the spotting I had is all I am going to get. So now will have to do an artificial thaw cycle. Will ring the nurses this afternoon to get the ball rolling. I just can't believe that after everything that my body has gone through with hormones etc in the stim cycle, that I did not get a period! How does that work!

    To everyone out there,
