Long Term TTC & Assisted Conception - June #1

[Janie71]

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,

Janie xxx

Angel Babies hope your feeling better. I had a giggle at your swimmers commentary!

Janet you poor thing. Throwing up is the worst and then to have AF also, thats just not fair! Hope it all goes away soon and you get your groove back.

TigerGal i only had 3 eggs retrieved and only 1 made it to transfer so i would be very happy to have 3. As for the the 3 day transfer, click on the following link and have a read of this thread, https://www.bellybelly.com.au/forums...-transfer.html.

Tiggerlinda i hope your feeling better

BecD thats fantastic to hear that you are feeling normal again. Boy that OHSS really sounds scary. Lets hope you never ever have to go through any of that again.

Hi treelo and welcome to our thread. Yes, this thread is full of very supportive ladies who will help you through all your ups and downs. Hope your stay in here is short and sweet and you move into the pregnancy threads soon.

Nicole all looking good. Its so exciting knowing that EPU is just around the corner.

Janie i too really hate how our bodies keep us guessing. I hope you get some answers soon and can start your next cycle soon too.

AFM, i finally stopped spotting on Saturday after a whole week of it. Totally drove me insane. I had another BT today to check my hormone levels again and all back to normal. All traces of HCG are gone. So now i just have to wait to see FS on Friday and see what he would like to do with DH and I. We are going to Europe for three weeks on 21st August so im kind of worried that we arent going to have time to fit in another cycle. If not, never mind Ill just enjoy my trip and use it as complete relaxation time and get straight back into it when we get back!

Hey Ladies, bloods are in E2 is at 4807..which more than doubles fridays results of 1559.
FS said that he is happy with the result bases on follie sizes.
Will be back in on Wednesday for another Blood and US.
Is it bad that the E2 has doubled in the last couple of days?? I am so confused??

[TigerGal]

Hi Everyone,

WOW, so much is going on in here!

Nicole: Sorry I can't help with E2 levels, I was never told what mine where and I never asked. But your follicle sizes are bigger than mine were so that seems good.

Paula: Thanks so much for that link, it has made me feel a whole lot better about the day 3 transfer. It's so good to read other stories and makes me feel more confident. You are a gem xoxox

Janie71: Thanks for your kind words too, it seems like 3 day transfer is quite normal. I guess being my first time, I thought we had to go by what was told to us in counselling etc but I guess the rules change for each person

Tiggerlinda: Any news on your scan? I hope all good!

AngelBabies: Thanks so much for your encouragement, you are a blessing to me at the moment. Good luck to you too, praying for super sperm to meet the egg!! Can't wait for your good news xoxo

AFM: Nurse phoned to confirm my ET will be tomorrow at 8am so here's hoping all goes well and that my little embies are growing nicely and ready to come to their new home. I am starting the pesseries tomorrow night.

Love to all xoxox
