CatyO- I have my scan Wednesday & am due to have my EPU Friday... Checked with nurse about some of the Oraglutran coming back out apparently that's normal it's because you get a higher dose of fluid in that injection... Hoping my follies are growing nice & big... Goodluck xx ☺️
GL CatyO and Chellico!
Just got the letter from MIVF to say that we had no embryos to re-freeze from this cycle. We do have 3 day 2 embryos which we still haven't thawed. Just feeling pretty down about it all. I also read that if none of your other embryos make it to blast, then it is much less likely that the one you have on board will implant. This, coupled with the BFN on FRER 2 days ago, just makes me feel dismal.
The plan is to email our FS and ask questions about embryo quality, next steps etc. I will test again tonight, just want to move on now.
Wishing others a much better outcome from IVF,
WW

Also not sure if I am allowed to ask, but does anyone have a view on MIVF blastocyst culturing/success rates? I wonder if Monash IVF is better at blasts.
Hugs WW :hug:
Thanks so much, TwoLlamas. Also, I love your name. Do you have two llamas??
AFM, thumbs down. Another BFN on FRER. I really trust them, and I follow my gut also which says I am not pregnant. Been crying a bit. Just kept thinking about the recent loss of the twins and just thinking about myself as a small girl and just the amount of tough stuff that has happened (lots of family members dying including my father, my own depression, chronic pain, endo, infertility, PND, miscarriage). Loads of good stuff too. It is just the sad stuff popping up for me - obviously! I look at my daughter (that is right, my gorgeous 3 year old blessing who is just incredible - funny, smart, extremely chatty and happy! I feel like I should not be trying for a second child, because it is making me grumpy around her and it is taking away valuable time from just being with her, and she is our only child and maybe I am not showing enough gratitude to the universe??). Anyway, I look at her and I just think, what if sh-t like this happens to her. I also feel a bit ... annoyed ... at the IVF industry, including my TCM doctor for that matter. It is not entirely false hope that they sell. I know heaps of success stories. But I do know ... slightly more failure stories. I hesitate to say this, because I know that hope is really important, and I honestly think that all of us in here really do have a chance. Just for me, IVF is starting to seem like it is not the ticket. I do think it works for some though.
Juniper, could you please put me as "on a break". I am going to check in on you guys but I want my life back for now.
lots of love,
WW

Big hugs to you WW xxx 😘
Oh, hun! I could have written those exact words! Please know you're not alone in feeling that way (and the rest of your post, for that matter). xx:

CatyO, I'm not sure if your question was rhetorical or if you really wanted an answer, but if they waited til Monday, for the smaller follies to catch up, the larger ones may well have triggered a natural O and you'd miss out entirely. I understand the frustration. As my FS said when I only got 3 eggs at epu, it only takes one.
WW sending you lots of hugs, I'm so sorry completely understand though after this cycle and any fets I have I'm finished trying it just takes too much out of you emotionally xxxx
CatyO I have everything crossed the smaller 5 catch up for Friday, sending lots of good luck with EP on Friday xxx
Miss B so excited for you what your going to be doing even though expensive is the best option at least then you know you've done everything you could and I'm positive you
will get your bfp you deserve xxx
sorry to anyone I have missed I'm in a hurry ds3 is sick about to take him to DR's
afm: EP is tomorrow at 6.30am so getting excited and ET is either Saturday or Monday depends on how eggies are going, bleeding stopped on Saturday after I found a amazing
acupuncturist who helped me so much seeing her again today and Thursday and then after ET
Juniper I was having a freak attack last night could not get the stupid vial open to give myself a trigger dp smashed one accidently and the rest where so hard to open it was not funny
so I rang the hospital to find out how to open but they smash so easily but thank god I done it but I was in a big state of panic not fun at all. I kept thinking if I had not left it till the last
minute I was going to PM you for help xxxx
Really hope everyone else is going well where ever you are in your cycle, sending you all lots of hugs xxxxx
WW - Im sorry you are going through such a hard time. Sending you big hugs. Im still praying for you hun xx
pholi - Thanks for your answer hun, I thought the bigger eggs would stop growing at a certain size and stay there waiting for the smaller ones to catch up D'oh! I think acupuncture and TCM can help you with the cyst.
1 More - Thank you hun I have everything crossed for you too hun. Im glad to hear the bleeding stopped.
twollamas - Good luck with clomid hun, fx it gives you a bfp! Are you starting tonight? All the best!
I'm sorry WW, big hugs sweetie :hug:
1 more, GL tomorrow hun, will have everything crossed for you :pray:
Caty, FX that your follies keep growing and you have a good number for harvesting :pray:.
Will check in a bit later, got some sort of food poisoning or gastro, was dying all day and of course DS was bored out of his brain as mummy was on the couch literally all day long. Feel so guilty as he's watched tv all day long but I just couldn't get myself off the couch :(

Wow so feeling lots of pressure & discomfort today... Tummy feels like it may burst... Hoping tomorrow's scan says all ok for EPU... 😣
fertility centre just rang and 11 have fertilised and they are looking really good :D so really happy with that and they will ring tomorrow with
what day they will transfer ;)
1 more please- Yay! So exciting for you sending lots of positive vibes your way... xx
1MP that is fantastic!!
Chellico, keeping fingers crossed for you!
AFM. Well, there has been a development. After being convinced I was out, as you guys know, I actually got an extremely faint (squinter) positive on FRER 6dp5dt (so that was Tuesday). Then the next day (using fairly dilute wee in the middle of the day) it was a fair bit clearer, but still very faint, I would say. Then, panicking, I tested again randomly say 6 hours later (without holding wee) and it was possibly lighter. Now this morning, for the first time using proper FMU, it is darker again, but still faint, guys. Taking a good minute or so to come up, and darkening up by 10 min. But faint, and only a tiny bit darker than yesterday's. Anyway, I was going loony tunes with the testing, like carrying the test around with me and looking at it every few minutes. I rang the nurses who were uniquely unempathetic and flat, and I am going in tomorrow for an early beta, basically half expecting a chemical but also hoping against all hope.
Thanks for being so supportive everyone.
Will keep you posted.

WOO HOO WW SO EXCITED FOR YOU!!!!!!!! Cant wait to hear about your BT results tomorrow xxxxxxx
afm just got a call my ET is Saturday morning :p
WW - will keep everything crossed for you... xx
1MP - GL with ET on Saturday... xx
Sneaking it to say to worrywart, my test was a squinter 2 days before blood test with positive BETA of 167.8. I thought it was a negative as it took a while to show and was typing to the girls on here that it was a negative when out of the corner of my eye I saw a very faint second line. I could see it at arms length. DS is now 1. All the very best.
Sneaking out...
Thanks 1MP and Chellico!
1MP, keeping fingers crossed for Saturday!
Vic, thanks so much for your post. It is lovely to hear a happy ending!
lots of luck and sticky vibes to us all,
WW

so CD13, but a neg OPK? whats happening body?!?!?!?!
Scan went well today... Am all booked in for EPU on Monday morning... Have 5 more baby follicles that grew since Wednesday... They are worried about my progesterone levels now I'm on the verge of creating hostile environment apparently so will end up with a freeze all rather than fresh transfer... Hoping that doesn't happen... 😕
Trisha, hope your OPK turns positive soon. It is stressful testing day after day.
Chellico, glad the scan wen well. You know, whatever happens, even if it is an all-freeze, could be for the best. Because I have heard that FETs are the way of the future and can for many women get better conditions for implanting.
AFM, just got back from MIVF and they called within the hour to say .... my hcg is 90 (prog 139, on 400mg pessaries)!!! I am over the moon, terrified, doubtful. Nurse said it was a little low but probably quite ok as I came in 3 days early for BT. I also think that the embryo transferred was a compacting morula (an early blast) so based on that I could actually be a little earlier on (by 1 day, but I'll take anything). Betabase says average is 126 by 14dpo but 86 at 13dpo, so I am going to try my best to stay really calm and positive and no more freaking out, at least not til Sunday night.
Thanks again girls for all the lovely support,
WW

Congrats WW! FX this bub is a nice sticky one for you xxx
WW - Congratulations!! Im so excited for you! xx
1 More - Good luck tomorrow!!
AFM - Had EPU this morning and got 10 eggs, they will call me tomorrow I think to let me know, how the eggs are behaving... Im very sore, and have sore back too, wasn't like this with the ivf last year, maybe because I had more eggs this time around? Also, I have red spotting, did you guys experience red spotting after epu and for how long?
They gave me crinone 8% vaginal gel (progesterone 90 mg) to start on sunday, they gave me 12 applicators. and then I will have only 1 shot of pregnyl 500iu on Thursday (the day after ET). Before, I was worrying about how many eggs I was going to get, now Im worrying about the support after transfer. It doesn't seem enough to me, lol
Crinone is what they call pessaries? If I have 12 applicators, 1 per day, does that mean that I wont be able to POAS, because crinone could give me a false positive?
Have a great weekend ladies :)
