Long-term TTC & Assisted Conception - Oct/Nov 2009

[xx Rob xx]

deep breath...................

it's a hcg is 86, they said they're happy with anything over 80 so i'll get a bt done on sat for peace of mind. progesterone over 200 and should be between 30 and 100 in first trimester, so that's good.

thank you for all the support and all the enquiries today. good luck to you all, and may you achieve your dream in the not too distant future. xxx

OMG Airline that's awesome. Congrats hun.

Well just heard from repromed. First BT tomorrow, they expect me to ovulate on around the 12th and transfer 5 days after. Ok got my head around that.

Just can't get my head around weather any of the 3 frosties will survive.

I know I can't control it, and I think that's what makes it so worse. Do I just accept defeat or do I get my hopes up and have them shattered. They again asked if we want to put 2 back. Like I told her let's just get them to thaw first.

Thanks so much all you guys for listening to me, sometimes it helps just to get it off my chest.

Hi Emerald and all you lovely ladies,

I've just posted in the TWW but to give you all the update- I'm out.

I did a HPT (that was supplied by the clinic) on schedule yesterday and although I'd been feeling a bit doubtful for a few days, the BFN has really devastated me. AF has also arrived so no BT for me today.

For those who have read my post in TWW I apologise for repeating myself but what has added to my devastation is that I had been holding on to the hope that I would be able to go straight into a FET cycle should this one fail. I had no side effects or problems during the stim cycle so thought that physically I would ready. When I rang the clinic with my results yesterday, I told the nurse we were keen to move into a frozen transfer asap but she said that the FS likes you to have a month off after a stim cycle so more than likely I will miss out on the last transfer date for the year (Dec 18) and we will be looking at January. I just can't believe I'm staring down the barrel of another Christmas without a baby/pregnancy.

Sorry for the downer- I'm just really struggling at the moment. I sincerely hope you're all doing better than I am right now.

Hi all

My question is today was day three for my embies and I didn't get a call? Monday is day 5 and transfer but i dont know where I stand I cant stop thinking about the lil things?

anyone have any answers?
p.s. i have been a long time reader and you guys have been there for me over the years with out even knowing it - your disscusions have been very healing and hopeful i wish you all the luck in the world!

[QUOTE=nicoled;2043107]Hi all

Hi Nicoled

An answer for you, with your phone call, at our EPU the embriologist let us know that we would get a call the day following EPU and then on day 5 after the EPU but then also proceeded to ask us if we wanted a call on day 3. Obvioulsy it was an option for us. Were with SIVF here in Sydney!!!

That said though, I also agree with Juniper, i would give them a call!!

[Motherhood here i come!]

Morning all,

Well had my Day 5 update from the Embryologist at SIVF. She let me know that they have had a look this morning and 3 of the guys are starting to form/enter the blatocyst stage however, they dont expect them to reach that stage until tomorrow morning. She also said that they like them to be hatching and bursting out before they do the biopsy. I suppose this is a good thing doing it that way.

So, that means another day of waiting. Frustrating. I need to have hope though that these guys will make it. The embryologist let me know also that they will check in on them again this afternoon and should anything have changed, will call and let me know.

that all goes well and that if its meant to be it WILL be.

So that means were now waiting till tomorrow. ET will hopefully be tomorrow!!!

[airline]

ooh motherhood...so exciting!! good luck and fingers crossed for ET tomorrow!!

[Leabie]

Oops - double post, sorry!

[Leabie]

Hi girls, hope you're having a good Sunday!

Just spent 15 minutes typing, then lost it

Juniper76 - thanks for your post. Think you're right - the hormones just send everything a bit crazy. Things ok now, will mention it to the nurse tomorrow in passing, but not panicked now! Thanks!

Star-bright - so sorry for the AF, and what you had to go through in the waiting room for your BT. Some people just don't think their actions through completely, do they? Found out a friend is UTD, after another friend (who knows what we're going through) blurted it out in front of me, had to run to the loo and I think thats a GREAT idea doing the secret cycle, just don't say "when it fails", say IF!!

Airline - GL for your follow-up BT

Wishes, nicoled, MHIC - for sticky embies!!!

MHIC - sorry you have to wait another day I sometimes think a good slogan for a T-shirt or poster would be - "Time going too quickly? Life rushing by? Then why not try FERTILITY TREATMENT? Minutes will seem like hours, hours like days, days like weeks..."

Time IS actually going too quickly for me today - DH just called, he's flying in at 4pm this arvo, after being away for 3 weeks. Naturally, I have left all the housework til the last minute... Better fly!

Hi and good luck to everyone I've missed, hope all is going well.

[xx Rob xx]

Hey guys, hope it's not too hot for you. We have rev cycle air con this yera so its just nice here lol. Poor cows, I must have brain drain, asked DH today if their milk can curdle lol.

Loops, just where is AF when you want her?

Motherhood was your et today or tomorrow hun? Lots of for those little ones.

Star Bright sorry for your results, it will get better. Damn AF

Wishes Lots of for those little ones.

Sorry if I have missed anyone.

AFM: We also kept this cycle to ourselves, just you guys know lol. But we had such a horrific time after the last FET when nothing thawed I couldn't cope going through it again and having to go over it again and again.

Poor DH, heat has really got to him. He said today that no more IVF if none thaw again. I told him no we would change clinics, cause I do agree with him that its bizaar that none out of 8 AA grade embies wouldn't have thawed. It was bad enough when they said 80% thaw and we had 5 last time and none did he was devistated, but if these 3 don't thaw I am gonna need a shrink big time. I know people who thawed one and they got pg. And then he was going through the conspiracy theory, maybe it's cause we already have kids, maybe they don't try as hard, maybe cause we got money they don't try as hard, so we keep going back, far out I am running out of answers if that were ver possible lol.

And to top that off I am so frustrated. Had BT Friday, they didn't call me. Drove 2 hours to city yesterday to be there at 730am, because had they actually rang Friday I may not have evene needed to go, nurse says they will ring me in the afternoon, lucky i didn't hold my breath. So I am now assuming I need to have one again tomorrow, I have bruises like golf balls cause they couldn't get the blood, and I am over it. I know its just so they can set dates etc for ET but geez I hate when they say they gonna ring, and u wait and wait and nothing happens.

Sorry girls, very long hot day.
