Some of you may remember me from a couple of months back, don't think I've posted since oct/nov last year! In the last 6 months I've had the 2 frostie blasties from my 1st ivf cycle but back in (one at a time), the first one was put in and two days later I got period type bleeding. With the 2nd one I fell pregnant, however had light bleeding from the day after I got the BFP and my scan at 6 1/2 weeks showed a baby with no heartbeat. The misscarrige was drawn out from 16 dec (when i first had light bleeding) to mid Feb, but at least it was natural, and no D&C required!
As of today I am well and truely into my 2nd ivf cycle. I had my EPU yesterday and they retrieved 4 eggs. In under 2 hours I can find out if any fertilised!
With my 1st stim cycle, they collected 15 eggs, but I developed OHSS and couldnt have a fresh transfer. So for this cycle my Dr reduced my injections of puregon from 125 to 100, which unfortunatly has resulted in such a low number. I was pretty upset at my last scan to see only 3 follies looked of a good enough size, but have kind of dealt with it now, and know that I'm doing my best and thats all that can be done, and as the cliche goes - it only takes one!
My dr has advised depending on how things go, ie if its looking like only one or two may make it to Day 3, I may be having a day 3 transfer rather than day 5 like my previous transfers. Not really fussed on this idea as I could be going through the emotions of having an embie inside and thinking/praying and hopeing I fall pregnant, when i could have died by day 5 and I won't know til weeks later when I can test!
I swear although the physical stuff and costs with IVF is no walk in the park, its your emotions and thoughts and the waiting that makes it so damn tuff!
Wishing all you girls here the best with your journeys, I'm still a strong believer in everything happens for a reason and that all the trauma of the last few years of TTC has made me a stronger person.
