Lise - curiosity got the better of me and it seems I was half right. Multinucleation does refer to two nuclus' but it has nothing to do with twins. I found this on advancedfertility.com if anyone else is interested.
Presence of multinucleation
An embryo is multinucleated if more than one nucleus can be seen in any individual cell on either day 2 or day 3. After day 3 it is extremely difficult to identify the presence of multinucleation. The majority of multinucleated embryos have been shown to be chromosomally abnormal in PGD studies.
However, sometimes multinucleated embryos implant and lead to a healthy pregnancy and birth of a normal baby. These embryos are generally only transferred to the uterus if they are the only ones available.
Coral - thanks for the vibes! I'll grab them for sure DH and I have been discussing twins all day, though he's a bit scared of jinxing ourselves and doesn't want to forward plan anything! We've got one embryo left which we'll freeze, and fingers crossed we don't need it... Hope the injections go well for you and don't cause too much pain and tenderness.
mitf - aren't you good having blood tests AND acupuncture all before work, I salute you! And thanks for googling mulit nucleate for me! FS did explain it to us last time it happened, and I admit I spent hours researching it. I guess I was just wondering if it had happened to anyone else? FS said it was very rare and extremely unlikely it would happen to us again. Well this time we had three, so not sure if it's us or just bad luck...
FS also said that up until 6 months ago they would have transferred those embies, but now with further research and tracking they don't because those embies generally just have bad outcomes. Anyway, enough of me! I don't know how a FET cycle works, but am hoping it's going well for you and that you can lock in a ET date soon! I know what you mean about having a future plan, but that you won't need it.
Loops - glad you had a good time away! Will be sending some good selling vibes your way (funnily enough BB doesn't seem to have a pic for that ) so you can get started again ASAP. What are your plans in the interim?
juniper - thanks for the chuckle
airline - that was so me!!! And i'm following your orders and haven't moved off the couch all day! DH is starting to get a little tired I think of tending to my every whim but he's still doing it bless him. Glad you've got some days off with your DH, hope you enjoy them.
sonyalouise - tomorrow, hope it all goes off without a hitch and you can rest up well.
To everyone else - hello!! Hope you're all going well. Yet again i've managed to write an essay without meaning to.
I was wondering if anyone knows if IUI is possible if you partner has a motility problem. I asked my FS and was told that at my age percentages for a live birth are so low with anything. But we are supposed to be doing our first IUI this month (once AF arrives) and now we just don't know......
Thanks and any info would be greatly appreciated. xxxxxxxx
jilly, anything's possible! I'd just recommend deciding at the outset how many tries you want to give IUI before moving on. In particular, an injects+IUI cycle can be a good sort of trial run for IVF - you'd find out how you respond to the meds and the only difference then if you switch to IVF is adding in the suppression (depending on your protocol) and EPU/ET. FX this IUI does the trick though!
To all the newbies i am sure you will find lots of support here.
sonyalouise - you go to sleep and its over before you know it!!
Nix76 - Lise - Welcome to the 2WW....are you guys thinking of PAOS'ing??? GL and sticky vibes!!
Coral73 - Thanks for your positive vibes...and I you get heaps of excellent follies with beautiful eggs.
Mitf - so excited about your upcoming FET...GL and i know what you mean about a backup plan...i ALWAYS plan for the next cycle, because if i keep puting too much focus on my current cycle and it doesn't work out I think its a bigger blow.
Loops12 - glad to hear you had a fantastic time at the Muster....and i have exhausted all my vibes on selling that tractor!! Hope it works for you!! I hope in the meantime that you get a "natural BFP"!!!
Juniper76 - My " natural conception" vibes are with you too!!
Airline - Hi...hope you are well.
Jilly - I did 2 IUI's before strating on IVF and totally regret it!!! If i could go back and change things i would have gone straight to IVF...lots of people have had success from iui, however with the medicare safety net thing changing and all that I would try and get in asap...but thats me!!! I suppose its easier for me to make that decision as i have gone through it all....GL with your decision....
Just a quick post tonight as I am exhausted.
Had my scan today and I have 6 follicles ranging in size from 6-9 mm. I am happy with that.
My dosage has been increased from 100IU to 150IU. Have another scan on Monday and depending on the status of my follicles EPU may be scheduled for either the Wednesday or the Friday.
Today I mustered the courage to tell my Manager about IVF. He was fully supportive which deep down I knew he would. Now it will make it easier when I tell him I have to be offsite for a few hours instead of making up some half baked excuse.
Hope everyone is well.
Now it?s time for bed....so tired....
