Keen, wonderful result with your OPU. Fingers, toes etc all crossed for you hun. 19! That is an amazing result!
Melbo, 75 definately is in the grey area. Just remember that is is as positive as it is negative, so try and think that it is good news (hard though!). Fingers crossed for you too.
Babydreams, I used Gonal F in a powder and had to mix it up myself. That was back before they made either Puregon or Gonal F in a pen. The pens came in just as I finished my last IVF cycle. Don't stress too much - I was on doses that never added up to enough that the vial held. You simply have to make up a new batch and add it to the syringe to make up what you need. I got a couple of vials to start and then I was still going to need more, so when I went back (to Melb IVF, like Jo and Melbo) for subsequent visits, I just picked up more powder and liquid. You'll be fine. It's amazing the inner strength and abilities we have inside of us!
I've missed someone that I was going to personal..... #-o ....I'll have to go back to the other thread......
Sorry to hear that there have been a few BFN - my condolences to those ladies.
Mel, honey Im so sorry about your annoying non informative results. How upsetting and frustrating for you. And with things with Pusster to top it off :hugs: ... you take care of yourself and hang in there. I have pm'ed you. Am [-o< that your levels go through the roof and you get a bfp on Friday..
Babydreams, Yeah Ive never heard of mixing Gonal before, only the trigger Pregnyl is mixed.... weird... hope you get some answers about that one soon...
Shez, sorry to hear AF arrived... sort of?!
Sush sound like you have some very strong and healthy little embies growing
Ali, just a few more inkstick: for you!
Got a phone call from clinic just then. Of 19 collected 17 were mature (not 19 as originally thought), 13 fertilised , 2 of those were abnormal however so we have 11 fertilised and all growing well at this stage. I cried to think we have 11 little fighters doing all they can to be strong and grow...
I start the Crinone on Sat morning. And find out how embies are going on Sat, too.
I empathise with you Mel, I had a similar experience in Mar/Apr BUT I had a much lower beta. It played on my mind and emotions greatly while doing the extra BTs and USs. The uncertainity is terrible, you just want to hear a b***y BFP not a MAYBE. On the day I recieved my news about my low beta there was two others in the same boat (on another thread). Of the three of us, one is still pregnant and seems to be going well (22 weeks now). But she was advised to have an amnio, which she did and all is OK. So you do have hope.
If you are working at the moment,,weeeelllll maybe some time off would be best. I was was a mess, went to work anyway, which I regret.
Sorry to the girls with the BFN & Mel's maybe. No words are enough, so take big care of yourself.
And hopefully next month we can have BFPs together, we are all here for you.
Mel, thinking of you & your difficult day with Puster. It's a very hard decision to make.
Keen, good luck on your numbers game, I was packing myself during that time each time an embie dropped off, but like Sushee, was pleasantly suprised by some slower ones catching up.
Sushee, will be watching for your numbers.
Sheree, I'm sure you've realised it's only a week to go!!!
well, these are the results of sushee's blastocyst lotto:
3 x compacted morula
1 x 9 cell which is still dividing, and they hope will catch up by tomorrow.
5 x embryos that have stopped dividing and are being considered as non-viable at this stage.
All in all, 3 three blasts ( [-o< ) and 1 possible late bloomer.
So, my ET is tomorrow at 2pm!!!!!!
\/
love
sushee
(err...better get back to work, my boss is staring at the stupid grin on my face)
Just been catching up on all the activity in here.
Firstly Ness, I'm so sorry about your BFN. It's just so disappointing and I guess there are no words for exactly how much. Take care of yourself.
Ali - Sorry for the insensitivity of the person who told you your results but I am so glad you have three little battlers and now two on board. Hope the momentum keeps going and you get a lovely surprise in two weeks.
Keen - Fantastic results for you and it really does sounds as if they are wonderful healthy embryos. Everything crossed for you.
Sushee - Best of luck with your lovely blasts tomorrow ... it sounds as if things are going really great! It's just such a good feeling to jump a hurdle in this game so I know what you mean about having a big smile on your face!
Babydreams - Best of luck with mixing your vials ... I'm gathering the pens are such a recent invention that a lot of the literature out there still hasn't caught up. I remember I was reading about mixing the vials in a book I have and was very surprised indeed when they handed me a biro to stick myself with.
Shez - Sorry about your problems with AF. I hope she has arrived properly now and is soon out of the way so that you can start again. How frustrating for you.
Sheree - Thanks ... I remembered that a few of the ladies here including you have had inconclusive BT results in the past. It certainly is frustrating. I guess there is not much to do but wait and see how it pans out.
A very big THANKS to everyone who has PMed, emailed, posted and otherwise sent their good wishes about our Pusster. We've had a quiet day today at home and he is now not feeling like being touched which is very unusual for him. It makes me feel that this is the right decision and that I don't want to put him through any more. Thank goodness we can do this for our animal friends. I am very blessed to have the support of everyone here and it has meant and will mean so much to me in the days to come. Thank you all again and I will post tomorrow with an update on the BT situation.
Thanks every one i am over being neurotic for the time being anyway i rang the clinic and basicly they told me that i should just use it till the vial is finished and that i will be suprised how much is in each vial ( according to the nurse it apparently holds 1020 iu but you get 1200 iu out of it ) but written on it it says it holds 600iu so i am none the wiser but have decided to not care or i'll send myself to the looney bin oh and did i tell you OUCH !!!!!! the memories came flooding back :-({|= i am really truely looking forward to tomorrow 8-[
Hi all,
Hope you're keeping well this evening.
Sushee - good luck with your transfer tomorrow!
Keen - great results - hope your little fighters keep growing strong!
Mel - still have everything crossed for you.
Blue
Mel - thinking of you and [-o< those beta levels are heading skywards at the moment
Babydreams you should have enough for 6 days and then hound the clinic if need be at your follie scan
Ali- how are you today ?
Sushee that is fantastic for 3 maybe 4 blasts - best of luck for tomorrow.
Keen - are you resting up - [-o< getting closer to your ET
It's been quiet in here today ...tonight...
It is all over rover for me.
It isn't too heavy yet :smt102 though the clinic nurse it should be but I know it is AF for me- because I have had very light periods for last 7- 8 months since my curette in November.
I thinks the Dr scrapped away too much of my endometrium - I haemorraged and he couldn't see where the bleeding was coming from.Just thankful I didn't end up with hysterectomy like he considered at one point.... (he told me this the next day on the phone).
At follie scan my lining was only 6.5mm and they like it above 6mm so I just made it.
I am now waiting for AF to go and then of course came back to haunt me and we are planning for natural FET in September - all too long away but what can I do but hang out here and pickup sticky vibes.
Can't believe it will have then been 4 months since my first IVF appointment and 6 months since we made 1st appointment.
Almost same time as fresh cycle without the sniffing and injecting though -one good thing to sing about (LOL - you don't wan tto hear my singing).
Patience is not my name or nature. ](*,) I am just too old.
Oh Trish.. so sorry to read your news. I know there are no words :hugs:
Sush good luck tomorrow
Mel for you tomorrow.
Well I had my Dr appt this morning and he did a scan and there is a 7mm empty sac (he thinks) in my uterus, he was not 100% convinced that a EP is no longer a possiblity so I had more BT and have to go back monday.. AF is sort of showing her face but only partially...(tick tock tick tock)
Just popped in, saw on another post Keen said sushee had an embie transfer coming up (tomorrow!).. havent been on this board too much, didnt want to feel like a stalker hehe.. Goodluck sushee! (just then, I mentioned to my DP over msn, hes in qld for 3 months, that you had a transfer tomorrow, because he'd heard all about it before your last transfer.. and he just popped up with that hes gonna pray for you.. i was like.. wow.. maybe this is why i love this man).. but yeah.. just wanted to let you know that again, im hoping for you..
and keen you too
and everyone else! I will add some special mentions for my prayers tonight for all of you.
