Long Term TTC & Assisted Conception - May #2

[Janie71]

Hi All,

Well transfer is scheduled for 9:40am tomorrow. The nurse couldn't give me any more information about how the fertilisation process has gone, but she did say if none had fertilised, then my doctor would have called me by now. So I guess that puts my mind at ease a little.

Apparently my FS will go through how many have fertlised and survived at the ET tomorrow.

I know it is silly, but I feel so attached to my embryo's already. they make it through the night.

Good morning lovely ladies,

Hope you are all having a good day. EPU went well yesterday. 11 eggs- same as last time. Clinic called this morning and all 11 fertilised. Am over the moon with this result.

We are aiming for a transfer on Mon. FS has decided on all going to blastie hopefully. If things aren't going well then transfer on Fri. Would much prefer blastie as this is how I fell pg last time but sadly lost my little one.

Had terrible pain yesterday. Still not good today but was exactly the same for me last time too.

Janie- Hope TF went well today and that you have some embies to freeze. Let us know how you are going.

All the other lovely ladies in here, will chat soon.

Hugs Bel

Hi girls...

Bel, that is great about all 11 eggs fertilising! for your little blastie.

Smithy, GL with trigger and EPU. I will be thinking about you and waiting for you in the TWW thread.

Janet thinking of you and hoping that next cycle will be the one for you

Well I am now officially in the TWW. Transfer went really well... so I now have on board a 2 day, 4 cell beautiful embie! I'm so in love already after seeing it on the screen. We also managed to get 6-7 to freeze, so all round my FS was thrilled with the result. Starting on the Crinone tonight and apart from that waiting for blood test on 11/06/2008.

Lots of to you all.

Had another BT & scan this morning, my body is still being crappy, I have on my left side, 15,15,14.5,12,12,10,10 and 8 < 10, and on my right ovary 15, 15, 11 and 15 < 10mm. I'm really disappointed with this cycle already, and have been quite emotional the last couple of days. EPU has been pushed back to Monday (Public Holiday). Honestly I just want it all over with. If this cycle doesn't work we will be taking a couple of months off and starting again in August/September, I just can't cope with everything.

[~BecD~]

Thanks for the wellwishes I just got home from the hospital and the EPU went quite well. We actually ended up with 20 eggs -17 mature eggs and 3 immature which they will do IVM on also. The complete opposite of what was expected but am very happy. I'm really sore and nauseus but hopefully I can sleep that off.

Should get a call tomorrow with fert results and transfer is looking good for Sunday

Hi BecD
Congrats on the number of follicles collected!! That is fantastic
I was wondering are you with FSWA? I am transferring my current Clinic to FWSA and my appointment is with Dr Hart. I have heard some many good reports of this clinic. What I like is they have alot more services available then my current clinic. For example IVM, PGD etc

[~BecD~]

Hi Nat - Yep I'm with FSWA and am pretty happy with them. There have been a couple of glitches along the way which at the time I wasn't happy about but on the whole they have been really good to me. The main thing is that it is small still and you get to know the nurses and other staff, Steve Junk is great (Scientific Director). My FS is Dr Yeap but Dr Hart has a great reputation so I'm sure you will be fine with him. Also another good thing about FSWA is that they don't bill you until after ET which means for me we can put it on our credit card and then go straight to Medicare and get the money into our account within a couple of days - makes it so much easier!

[~BecD~]

smithy - good luck for ET

Nat - IVM works by only doing three days (or thereabouts) of FSH injections, doing a trigger injection, and then harvesting the eggs while they are still immature (around 8mm mark). You then have HRT support in the luteal phase and it takes an extra day for the embryos to grow (normal IVF blastocyst takes 5 days, IVM takes 6 days), the first day is spent maturing the eggs in the lab. Thats the short version of it all anyway

I went back to doing IVF this month as our previous two IVM cycles didn't work for us, but I still strongly believe that this will be the procedure of the future - cheaper, less invasive, quicker treament time, less drugs with good outcomes.
