Williever - woohoo that 8 have fertilised - that is awesome

OMG what is going on with the world and natural disasters at the moment? Just watching the tv and looking at the pics of Christchurch. Can't believe they have had another big earthquake. We live about 300 - 400km south and felt it, noone can get through to make sure their families up there are safe cos all the power and phones are out. Its so scary. Kind of makes my 2ww stresses nothing really.
AFM really not happy today as epu yesterday had 11 then only 8 where able to be injected and 1 has fertilised the rest dont look too great....
we are using donor sperm from Xytex so it is good quailty they come in vials and we use half each time so we have a couple that havent been used which is only frozen once and 2 that are half so have been frozen twice.
We went in after having this discussion with the FS that we where doing half/half.. When i come out from my epu they then tell me they have thawed a half vial which as it has been frozen twice can only be used for ICSI. So cranky with them they made that decision without our consent yesterday after they had already thawed the half vial they gave us the choice to use a full one but we would have to throw out the vial and go to waste plus it costs a lot of money.
On every other occasion they have used a fresh one means frozen once which i would have thought would be better quality and as ou results have come back so bad this time i am just so upset with them. As i have such bad egg quality i would have thought they would have used the full vial to get the best results, all heresay now..
Trying to be positive for the little lone one and hope it keeps progressing but my god its hard to stay positive.
Blossom - Everything crossed for you hun xx have they explained why they didn't do as you had agreed? I can't imagine how you are feeling. Here for you if you need to talk x
Oneday - you sound like you feel much better about everything! Good luck with the seven week scan!!
Joeve - hi and welcome!!
Blossum - chin up i hope things are ok with you?
Williever - good egg haul, good luck for your transfer - is it on sat?
Tantee - was your BT today?? If so i have everything crossed for you!!
Nothing2lose - big hugs to you!!
Kass - my trAnsfer is on thurs, fingers crossed.
AFM - feeling less bloated each day and looking forward to thursday. Husband is excited, because the successful cycle we had, we DTD the night before transfer and i am convinced this got us accross the line, so he is happy to be getting some action (few and far between since DS, not nice when you've had a third degree tear.....ouch!!!).
Fingers crossed, and look forward to hearing all your stories!!!

jayejaye - we have to freeze them and wait until I've recovered from the polyp removal -sad face!
Good luck for Thursday x
Well we have our post-op appointment for two weeks time. So the 'waiting game' will be my phrase of the month! I have no idea when to expect AF, but I'm sure she'll let me know when she's coming for a visit. Still in pain and have tried to do some work at home, but it's not working. I feel rubbish, but I think that's because we are now playing the 'waiting game' until.................who knows when?!
BUT come on little eggies xxx
Blossum - so sorry that you have had such a disappointing result. I really hope your little one is a fighter and that you get some good news. Wow, I would be cranky too! You feel as though you have little control over your body with IVF and to have choices that you can make taken away is a real blow. Fingers crossed for you hon.
Melissa - Glad you are safe and well in NZ. What a tragedy and so soon after the last one.
Williever - A TWW of a different kind - just a different form of torture! I hope that you are able to fit in a few special things in the meantime to help pass the wait and that you start to feel a lot better very soon
JBM - GL for the FS appt tomorrow. Hope you get a fresh plan of action to get you your BFP asap!
Jaye Jaye - GL on Thurs. My FS suggests BDing the night or next day of transfer. I think DH is more than happy to accomodate that suggestion, as this ttc stuff plays havoc in that department sometimes ie too many hormones, too few hormones, stress, anxiety, pessaries, creams, etc etc
Joeve - GL for this cycle, let's hope your stay in here is short and sweet.
Oneday - It is such a worrying time. Sending you truckloads of sticky vibes. Bring on that scan, I'll bet it can't come soon enough.
Loops, N2L, Kass, 1moreplz and all you other lovelies -
AFM - BT today. My HCG is only 44 at 11dp5dt so I have to go back on Thurs for another BT to see if the levels are rising. I was kind of expecting this as I got 2 +hpt's yesterday and the day before but have had no symptoms. (The 2 times I have been pg before, I was vomiting from very early on in the piece.)
My FS called me after the nurse called and said that he is still confident that it can progress and that they have had pg's progress with initial BT's of 10, which helped cheer me up a bit. Two more sleeps (again). Meanwhile I am trying not to spend too much time in consultation with Dr Google trying to get answers that just aren't there, this waiting will drive me insane.
Tantee - fingers crossed for you tomorrow! I hope your numbers are doubling and its great that you have an FS who is so supportive! I've heard that each pregnancy is different so just because you had symptons last time doesnt mean you will have the same this time! And stay away from the internet!!! There is nothing worse than googling medical issues!!!!!
Williever, hope you are resting and all those little eggs will be waiting for you when you a ready!!
Nothing2lose - are you going straight into another cycle?
Hi to everyone else.!!!
AFM - just waiting for tomorrow, and then the waiting begins! ha ha!!
Another quick one for me. I woke up in the middle of the night in excruciating pain. I had really sharp stabbing pains on the right hand side of my lower abdomen (around where my uterus and ovary are). Even after taking two panadeine forte and two nurofen (and cuddling into my wheat bag) the pain didnt go away for four hours. I was crying in pain it was that bad. Not sure what it was (af pain, infection, or something else) but my fs wants me to go in for a scan today at midday. Hopefully it is nothing serious....FX anyway!
Good luck for you tomorrow tantee...I have a good feeling though
Hi to everyone else.
I will be back later with an update (hopefully a good one!)
I hope your cycle rushes by ready to get going xxxx Thank you for your messages x
