Re: Long Term TTC & Assisted Conception June/July 2014
Spoons, hi and welcome! Hope you're feeling better soon. AF can be so nasty at times.
CatyO, we did ICSI with our 5th IVF just because we were up to our 5th cycle and it was something new to try. It was a few years later that DH's MFI was diagnosed (long story), so I do think we actually needed it. The thing with ICSI though is that there are some who believes it damages the eggs/embryos and makes hatching difficult or something like that (can't remember exactly), so it's not without risks.
WW, a "typical" level for 14dpo is 100, so you're very close to that! But most FS just want to see the level over 50 at that stage and you're well above that! I'd be cautiously optimistic about that result!
Re: Long Term TTC & Assisted Conception June/July 2014
Thanks so much ladies! I am really touched at people coming in to say Congrats. Even if it's just for next few days, I feel very blessed just to have a bit of a go.
CatyO, that is great about your fert rate. We do ICSI because we have MFI (along with the other stuff) and I wonder too about what Juniper said about the intrusiveness to the embryo, plus I think natural fert is a good kind of natural selection of the strongest embies, unless it is really male factor issues dominating. Keeping fingers crossed for your transfer! What day do you go in?
1MP, sorry if I missed it somehow. Have you had your transfer? Thinking of you today.
Juniper thanks so much for your reassurance! I have been driving myself crazy with speculation and worry, just because it's not the exact 100 or more. It really helped to "hear" (virtually) you say that. Just trying to stay centred. I know it can go either way.
Spoons, welcome and keep to that couch, you poor thing. I hope your pain is not severe. Do you have endo?
Wishing everyone a peaceful weekend and lots of babydust.
Re: Long Term TTC & Assisted Conception June/July 2014
Gosh, you're a chatty bunch in here! Thanks for the welcome, everyone
We dropped DH's sample off for analysis this morning and the results should be ready in a few days.
Hi worrywart, I don't have endo, or pcos, all the test were normal apparently. The first day or so of AF is usually pretty bad for me, on the couch or in bed with the heat pack and painkillers and then it's not as bad after that. CD3 today so I'm up and about doing my usual things. Sending you lots of sticky vibes!!
Sorry I haven't addressed everybody personally. Baby dust and sticky vibes to all xx

Re: Long Term TTC & Assisted Conception June/July 2014
Spoon- hi and welcome
Thanks Juniper, WW and pholi, I thought icsi was optional for whoever wanted to have it, we don't have mfi, so I understand now why icsi wasn't offered to us.
WW- I will have a transfer on Wednesday, they will let me know tomorrow.
Im still spotting, brown spotting, not much, but yesterday in the morning it was almost gone and then it started again last night. Im bit sore, but nothing that a heat pack cant fix, is this common, normal?
I start crinone gel tonight, does it matter that im spotting? I tried to call the clinic but no answer...
Re: Long Term TTC & Assisted Conception June/July 2014
CatyO, some clinics do ICSI as standard for all patients, but that approach is not universally considered appropriate. If you have no MFI issues, there's really no need for it. As for the spotting, it should be okay. I'd probably mention it to the clinic tomorrow. It shouldn't cause any problem with the crinone. I usually had some cramping after EPU, but not a huge amount. I always had some panadeine extra on hand for any post-EPU pain.
Re: Long Term TTC & Assisted Conception June/July 2014
Chellico not sure about the injections, just wanted to wish you luck xxx
CatyO Wishing you lots of luck for Wednesday not sure about the spotting, I wiped and there was a little smear of blood but that was all hopefully it will stop soon, I know like Juniper
said I had panadine ready for after EPU. Not sure about ICSI I know I did it but not sure why as there is no MFI or any problems at all but I also did assisted hatching and embrio glue
which were optional but just thought I would do everything as this is my only shot at it. Its exciting again good luck Wednesday xxx
Question my acupuncturist has given me herbs that are supposed to help with fertilisation I have never heard of this should I take them?
