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

[Mummawannabe]

Hey MrsP hows things? Did you have your transfer?

I had my DAY 20 transfer with a blastie last Friday, we only had two frosties and the first one they thawed went ok, the scientist said that it was at 98% of its cells. The transfer was fine and we went on our merry way on a beach holiday to relax for a long weekend.

Sunday morning i woke to bleeding, i'd describe it as light to moderate, enough to need to wear a pad, but in the 36 hours I've been bleeding it would'nt have been enough to soak through a pad...at first i was excited because i thought it was implantation, but the longer i bleed this much the more I feel somethings gone wrong....its so sad...I'm sure most of you can relate to that feeling.

I spoke to my FS who said it was defintely not good and that it wasn't the plan or to be expected. He said it may be a problem with my lining breaking away, rather than a problem with the embie, cos it was awesome. I was on Progynova building up to 3 a day and then at the DAY 11 scan the FS advised to up it to 4 per day for 4 days and then back to 3 a day....FS mentioned the reduction may have caused the bleeding, but shouldn't have. I haven't missed any doses of it either.

Has anyone had anything similar happen? I'm now concerned that i have a lining problem, on top of being hypothyroid, and having endometriosis, and im so angry that it took until now to be discovered and we may have wasted a perfectly good blastie that took a lot of time and money and emotional and physical pain to produce!!!

Sad and angry and getting fat to top it all off.............

[Motherhood here i come!]

Evening all,

How is everyone? Sorry no persies as this is just a quick one tonight.

AFM - Emerald Star, you can add me to the list of waiting for BT results!!!!! Yup, we had ET this afternoon. They tested the two only embies left for DH's Nasty gene and guess what????? They both came back clear and healthy. I couldnt believe it. the best thing was that the nurse was so excited to give me the results too So now were officially in the 2WW. DH has been so funny making me sit and rest etc lol.

BT is due on the 19/11/09 however, we wont be here for it because we will be in Fiji. What they suggested this afternoon was that have the BT on the tues before we go and then do a HPT whilst were away. I still have to discuss this with the nurses, reason being is that doing the BT one the tues might give us a boarderline reading!!!! So we will see what they say/suggest.

Mummawannabe- I'm so sorry that this is happening to you. I understand what you mean about wasting good embryos. I have been having problems with transfers and I feel by the time they get it right I will have no decent embryos. It is such a long, draining process. Big hugs to you sweetie.

MHIC- Super news!!! Go you little embies!!!!! Rest up and have a great holiday.

Evening lovely ladies,

Mumwannabe, I know what you mean. I worry everyday about doing this FET, just in case none survive. Such a waste and we all know as we get older they don't get better. Chin up sweet.

Motherhood, great news i hope those embies snuggle in nicely.

AFM I finally heard from them. Levels were still low on Sat so no blood test tomorrow yay. Just on Wednesday and see how they are. Damn labby, jumped a fence and cut herself open so off to the vet to pick her up. You know $400 to stitch her up, vets nearly as dear as the IVF lol.

Well sorry if I missed anyone, hope you are all coping in the heat. Make sure you all drink heaps, try to remember not to drink too much water, use juice cordial or sports drinks ... otherwise you will water down your blood to much, and that can be a problem in itself.

:yeahthat:

I wish I could put TTC out of my head long enough to focus on getting fit & healthy. Somehow, every time I get another BFN or cancelled cycle or delay for medical reasons, I gain another few kilos from the stress (& of course the chocolate and wine)

Morning Ladies

MHIC great news that you finally got to have your transfer wishing you all the luck and sending you some

Starbright I'm also with you about the getting fit and healthy. Since my last BFN two weeks ago been going to the gym but once I have my next transfer I'm going to have to slow it up again. I feel that its a waste of time just as I get back into it I stop

Mumwannabe Rob is right your not alone thinking that the FE wont survive for the transfer. i think that we all feel the same as we are approaching the transfer date.

AFM bring on tomorrow so I can have my scan and see how far along I have progressed. Last cycle I has a day 20 FET and so many BT's I hope this one is quicker and less painful

[xx Rob xx]

Aftermmon Everyone,

So hot here I am melting, lol.

Terry, how did your scan go?

Hope everyone else is coming along nicely.

AFM more bloods tomorrow the wait to see on Thursday as to where to from their.

Be good and stay cool!

[Emerald Star]

Mummawannabe - I have put on nearly 8kg from all these injections since i started with the IUI's back in May.....GrRRR....hopefully it won't be much longer before i get pregnant and then i can at least have something to show for all the weight gain..LOL I am also sorry to hear your news...

Starbright - Rob - Terry - and i hope things work out very soon...

AFM - Had FS appointment yesterday...we are going back to my original protocol with the Gonal F....the only thing different this time is we are also doing a thing called Polscope which costs an extra $350... with this procedure they can check the quality of the egg before fertilisation and pick the best eggs to fertilise...lets hope this does the trick...I will be starting my cycle as soon as AF arrives which hopefully will be on Friday..if she decides not to be late that is.....Can't wait!!!

[xx Rob xx]

Emerald star Good to hear that you have a plan, at least that gives you some direction ... Bring on AF lol
