Thanks to everyone, thanks for all your support, help answering my questions, doubts.
I am sorry that many of you are going through such a hard time. I hope things get better soon and we all have what we have been looking for, for all this time.
I am a worrier, and now that I am pregnant, I started to worry about having an ectopic pregnancy, is that possible?
Why they are not doing another bt tomorrow to check if the levels are going up?
When someone has had a miscarriage, how were they hcg levels at 4 weeks, is a 325 normal? low?
I just feel so scared that I don't even want to walk much.
I have an appointment for a scan on the 9th of July and I wish they were doing it right now if possible.
MissB- Well done on getting 3 eggs fertilised! Bugger about not being able to do a fresh transfer... But like my clinic keeps telling me.. At least with a FET your body has recovered from the ivf process and EPU and is not under so much stress when it gets to the transfer. I will be thinking of you as your embryos progress over the next few days and praying that you get some good ones to freeze Xx
Beau- How are you going? When is your BT?
CatyO- I can imagine after LTTTC that you would be worried / anxious about everything. Have you asked your FS to do another BT today just to put your mind at ease? I know it's crap having to wait for your scan but if you have it done now it is unlikely that they will be able to see anything on US anyway x
How is everyone else going?
AFM- The lab just called and said out of our 10 eggs 6 fertilised. They said that they want me to go to blast before freezing. She said even though we will end up with less embryo's to freeze (or occasionally none at all) that it allows the 'natural selection' process to take place in the lab and that any embryo's that don't make it to day 5 in the lab would not result in a successful pregnancy anyway if they were to freeze and transfer earlier embryos. She said the benefit of blast is that we have a much clearer picture about the reality of what we have to deal with. She said that way 'if and when' we get to transfer that we will have the best chance of doing it with an embryo that will stick. Does this all sound right? If that's the case I think I'm going to take their advice and go to blast.. She also said they will use assisted hatching on our embryo and embryo glue to increase our chances once we get to transfer..
CatyO try to think positive Hun! 325 is great. My level was 288 18 dpo. My levels increased as they should till week 7 - I didn't ask for my levels but at scan could tell everything was wrong. I only had bts once a week and scan at 7 1/2 weeks. I really really hope that yours is a good one & stays healthy.
Jasmine - yay for 6 fertilising that's great. My bt isn't till next Tuesday - it's still so far away!
Jasmine00 I'm honestly not sure at all about the blast or anything so I will let someone else let you know but good luck and yes i'm going to have picsi with assisted hatching
and embryo glue again best of luck fx xxx
Beau30 your so good you must have a lot of will power sadly i'm lacking i'm a poas addict but wishing you a bfp xxx
afm: DR's appointment tomorrow so hopefully trigger either sunday or Monday and iui next week
CatyO - my levels with DS were around 270. He is a healthy 18 month old. I also worried for every scan and appointment. Until I just got too tired to worry any more :-) and then I could enjoy everything. It is not easy to relax when you have been LTTTC. You are not alone, but your levels look fab!
Beau, my FS gave me the nasal spray as a trigger because he believes that in this particular type of cycle, there is greater success rate in achieving a pg. It's still relatively new, and somewhere along the line Monash IVF will only be doing frozen transfers. I understood what he was telling me about the new treatment, except I didn't realise that once you used the spray there was no going back, ie no option for a fresh transfer.
Caty, don't stress about your level, that is a really good result. In my first two pg, my results were in the high 200.
Jasmine, thanks hun. Yay for 6 eggies fertilising!!
Rai, GL with your doc appointment tomorrow.
Hi Emma! Nice to see you around
AFM, the embryologist called again today to let me know the 3 embryos are doing well and are all at the 4 cells stage, which is on track. They will call me tomorrow to let me know how they are going, and ask me if I want to keep them growing to day 5. I will get in contact with my FS tomorrow morning and ask his opinion, as I would like to know what he thinks, seeing I only have 3 embies. My gut feeling is to freeze them tomorrow at day 3, and then they will assess if they are good enough to freeze. I am really hoping that they will be, as if they are not, the cycle will be all over and I will have to do it all again when we have some more money. So, so far so good, everything crossed for tomorrow's news.
Congrats CatyO! Wishing you a happy & healthy 9 months ahead. Can certainly understand your nervousness / anxiousness. Hopefully once you hear that little heartbeat it will become a little easier for you xx
Rai GL for your appt tomorrow!
Jasmine - congrats on getting 6 fertilised. Hope they all continue to grow nicely for you xxx
Beau - wishing you well for the rest of your tww xxx
MissB that's great that all 3 are doing so well. Hope they are continue doing well for you xxx
To those that have had bad news recently, hugs to you all xxx
Kerbear great to hear that you have got some support & are trying to deal with it all xxx
AFM just taking it one day at a time. No definite decisions as yet. Started taking DHEA to try to improve my eggies in case we decide to go again & will review with FS again in August to weigh up our options. Didn't think it would be useful to rush right back in without making some changes. Will give me a bit more time to try to loose a few more kg's as well & get my body & head in the right place.
Juniper could you please just put me on the list as taking a break, cheers
Joe, good luck with the DHEA Hun. I'll be interested to see how you go.
An update from me ladies, all 3 embies are doing well and are ok to freeze! I am so happy Today they are supposed to be 6 cells, and they are 6, 7 & 8! So the lady embryologist who called at 8.30 this morning said she was really happy with them, and that my FS happened to be there this morning and he said to freeze them today so it saves me calling him. So am relieved that at least they will be on ice today and at least I get to (hopefully) have my FET next month
Thanks Ladies lm feeling more relaxed, but anyway l had a bt today and lm just waiting for the nurses to call me.
Congratulations Miss.B!! 3 embryos is excellent!
JoeSprat, you are right, l guess l will be more relaxed once l hear the hearbeat, cant wait!!
