Long Term TTC & Assisted Conception - May #2

[~BecD~]

Bel - am so glad to hear that your little embryos are doing well Am keeping everything crossed for you.
Saph - YAY! Finally trigger time! So glad you can stop injecting now!

Well my scan actually went better than expected today.
Todays scan:
Left ovary (mm) 19, 17, 16, 15, 15, 13.5, 13, 12, 10, 10, 9 < 10mm
Right ovary (mm) 19, 14, 13, 12, 11, 11, 14 < 10mm
Endo 10.6mm, Estrogen 5500

So while it's still not going to be a huge number of mature eggs at EPU, there hopefully will be enough. The other suggestion the nurse made was to collect the immature eggs as well and do IVM on them to give us an extra shot at getting some embryos to freeze. My FS has agreed, just need to speak to the embryologist on the day about it. EPU has been booked in for 9am Tuesday morning, trigger 9pm Sunday night.

Saph - Oh, its so exciting to get to trigger day. Heres hoping that eggie is a great one!

Thanks everyone for their replies to my first Fingers Crossed message. It must have worked cause the test is positive.... I am so relieved I can finally give my 2 year old a brother or sister. Good luck to everyone else. And Thanks again.

Good morning and happy weekend all!

Well I take a night away from the computer to catch up on the last 4 desperate housewives episodes I had recorded and you all have a night of gossiping on BB!!

TiggerLinda- Thanks for your kind words. Always helps to lift your spirits.

Janet- I'm glad you are getting your iron worked out. It's amazing how different you will feel when you get thoses levels sorted. Look after yourself.

Saph- Trigger last night..very exciting. Don't disappear into that TWW thread without telling us how you are going....BUT I'll be joining you in there on Monday. All the best.

Smithy- 9 eggs is great. CONGRATS!! And 5 fertilizing...you should be very happy and pleased with your little ones. I'll be looking forward to your daily updates on their progress. Look after yourself.

Bec- I'm glad your little follies are behaving!! Stay positive..They will get there.

Meredith- I've decided for me..no more losses. THAT"S IT!! When I get a BFP in 2 weeks it will mean a baby is coming in 9 months...NO IFS OR BUTS. Same for you!

So my daily update. Of my 11, 10 still growing. Today is day 4 for my little ones. 1 is 5 cells so probably out, 1 is 8 cells- so a day behind, and the other 8 are blobs now- too many cells to count. How blessed would I be to have all 8 little blobs make it to Mon. That would mean 6 in the freezer. Man that would be exciting. Fingers crossed though for 2 little ones to make it for transfer.

Hope you all have a good day with your loved ones.

Will chat later

Well ladies Day 2 of the Pill and we are feeling a little off colour but that is OK

Smithy - 5 Embies
Bel - Your are welcome sweet
Saph - Paraying for a BFP for you.

[Bel]

TiggerLinda- Are you feeling a bit off from the pill or just down in general?? The pill always makes me feel REPULSIVE. I just always keep thinking it's for a good reason. I always say to DH I detest being on the pill when I desperately want a baby...seems ridiculous hey?? Stay strong..you'll get there. Have a good day

Hugs Bel

[tiggerlinda]

Bel Thanks Hun It is the PILL to blame makes me feel like I am going to be sick I am lucky though I have been off it for 12mths so this is my first stim cycle with it for a while. Don't think the wine I had at the work function helped either :P

[Bel]

TiggerLinda- Hhhmmmm. The wine could do it...bet it was good though!!

Hugs Bel

[JBM]

GREAT NEWS !!!!!! hope it is good pregnancy.

[dove]

Heh Ladies,
Thank you again for my replies.....had my egg transfer today and there was some concern with my 2 eggs that had fertlized whether they would continue on through all the stages or not but great news this morning one little compacted egg was transferred inside of me....it is a really wierd feeling, watching it be put inside you and then knowing it is in there, i am finding i am steering towards a more numb feeling, not getting my hopes up cos i can just imange the pain that i am going to be in if i am not pregant, so i am really making myself not think about it to much.....at the same time still praying that we get our little miracle:

[bettyboop]

praying you get BFP soon.

[tiggerlinda]

Dove sending you some have a relaxing 2 week wait

[Bel]

Evening Friends,

Dove- Hope your TWW flies by and you get your longed for BFP at the end. All the ladies in the TWW thread will help you so much to get through this time. I'll be joining you in there on Monday. Hope I can help make your time there easier.

Have a good night all,

Hugs Bel

Thank you all you lovely ladies for your advice. It's now way early on Sunday morning and I am not better at all. I was told to use glycerine suppositories by the chemist, and they did not do much more than annoy me. Things are moving, but the gas isn't. I was worried it was ascites, but I am passing much more gas than normal so that's probably it. I will be going to the chemist again first thing in the morning for something to help in the moving.

After ICSI, we ended up with 7 embryos on Friday, so a Tuesday blast transfer is on the books. Here's hoping the little ones make it through the weekend.

I have a sprained rotator cuff (right arm, me lefty), and only heat and physio to help with that. I am scheduled to go in for an U/S on Friday to see if it's a tear. So I am unable to do much around the house. I don't know how I'll make it on the 2WW if I can't obsess with housework--there are only so many hours I can stay at the office. It never rains but it pours, doesn't it seem?

Here are prayers, hopes, and good wishes for everyone on the back end of the cycle. I hope your miracles happen soon.

[~BecD~]

Dove, good luck for your TWW, will be thinking of you
