Ree Ree - That's fantastix news. FX they keep grwoing. Grow embies grow!

Vic - If you have a thick shell then can't he do the assisted hatching this cycle? If that is the problem why wait? FX your embies grow grow grow.

Have you guys noticed the "like" link in all our posts? I'm off to investigate.

[Joeve]

ReeRee awesome result! Yes I am sure my 21 follies wont all mature for epu but it's nice to know something is happening in there
Vic sounds promising re the hatching!

[myturn]

So sorry myturn. I definately feel your frustration

Your doing a natural cycle for memory??? Sorry, so many of us in here. If nothing is happening and your still baseline can you start taking progynova. I did that for my first FET. Nothing was happening so I took the tablets and 18 days later did a transfer. With PCOS its hard to know when you will ovulate. Just a thought.

Yeah. I know they can do something if nothing happens.... Just have to keep waiting. I always have a monthly cycle though so surely something will happen... I'm
Just annoyed cause i was hoping ET this week - I'm too busy next week!!!

Hi Ladies

Wow to those EPU results ladies. Well done. I hope you get good news on fert rates.

MyTurn - I'm so sorry. Here's some love for you <3. Are you not doing a medicated cycle? I have PCOS and with my ET I did a medicated one cause who knows what goes on with my bobdy?

Jane - FX for good news today.

AFM - Day 4 of jabbing and we have an FS appointment tomoorow to see how we are travelling. I feel AF'y so the stabbing seems to be doing some thing lol.

Thanks

I've never had to do a medicated FET - last month was the first and it worked just fine...

I think if I ever do get pregnant - it will be so hard to believe...!!!

Hi ladies I hope u don't mind me poking my head in here! I have 6 more days until my BT & am slowly going mental.

I see there are lots of u awaiting transfer! Good luck keeping everything crossed for myself & all of u.

Any handy hints to help me get by?
xox

[Jane :)]

Ree and Mrs Mac – how is the recovery going? Awesome fertilisation rate Ree Ree. Mrs Mac with such huge numbers make sure you drink lots of fluid and eat lots of protein to help with the recovery and avoid OHSS.

Vic – Assisted hatching sounds like an interesting possibility. Fingers crossed you don’t need it though and you get a nice little blastie to transfer soon.

Joeve – sounds like you have a heap of follies. Hoping that they are of good size for you.

My turn – I feel your frustration completely. I’m doing a natural cycle too and it’s so frustrating when your body seems to be working off a different plan. Here’s hoping we both get to transfer next week.

Hi J.Bear – 6 days to go. How exciting. Good luck.
Porshe – good luck with you FS appointment tomorrow.

AFM – blood test showed a slight increase in my oestrogen levels which is good. So not out yet.Woo hoo! Have another BT on Thursday 12th. Hoping and praying that my hormones keep on the up and up and that my lining continues growing too. Many this rollercoaster is tough.

[me4ever]

ReeRee - wow 10 fertilised that's really good! Good news so that must help the healing process!

Mrs Mac - how did you go? How are you feeling today?

Vic261 - I'm glad you're feeling a bit more optimistic after your chat with the embryologist! Good luck with it all!

Joeve - Loads of follicles for you! Have they told you to drink heaps of water and have extra protein?

AFM - The embryologist called today to say all fertilised eggs are dividing and are looking good, still 12 and possibly the 2 extra that are going a bit slower than the others... So looks like it's going to be a 5 day transfer on Thursday. will find out time tomorrow. Still had today off as had pretty bad cramping and general tenderness yesterday, am feeling a lot better now.

[lyra stardust]

woohoo for all those little embies! Go embies go!

Myturn, sending you some love , hang in there!

J bear- are you testing on monday then? same as me.. I'm going nuts too. Trying not to focus on it too much but am failing miserably! Am going for some retail therapy tomorrow... hope thats helps lol!

Hi Ladies

Me4Ever - Woo Hoo embies! Grow Grow Grow.

Jane - Yay to levels going up. FX for Thursdays BT.

Amy_jellybean - Yay for AF!

Had my scan this morning. Lining is perfect and we are looking at about 13 follies at EPU. I'm increasing my jabbs to 200iu and have my last sniff on Friday. We are planning for EPU on Tuesday 17th. After al this sitting on my hands things are finally going ahead lol.

[vic261]

Porshe - Thats really great news. We may be in the TWW together. If all goes well, my transfer should be 21st April. As for the assisted hatching we really want to grow them out to see if they survive to day 5. He said if they do AH then it has to be one day 3. It will be good that he can check out the shell as they progress. He said that they have more success with day 5's than day 3's AH. So we are literally putting all out eggs in one basket lol.

Amy - Yay for AF

me4ever - Thats really great that your embies are doing well. I am always comforted when I hear mine are progressing well.

Jane - So very, very happy to hear that your starting to progress. You must be so relieved. Stoopid bodies, making us stress, when its the time we really do need to relax.

myturn - Will have my FX that your progressing in time for a transfer this week x

Good luck to lyra & j.bear. Hope the TWW is being kind to you both.

Hi to everyone else.

AFM - Nothing to report. Just taking my Progynova and waiting for US on Monday....

[Joeve]

Girls just some advice please. I have been sick in bed for 3 days with what I thought was a bad cold. It has progressed to more flu like with aching sweating and feeling really lethargic. I am so worried about being sick during stimming would you be worried it would effect the eggs or am I being silly?
Sorry for the me post

[vic261]

Sorry to hear that your sick Joeve It may be the drugs just running your imune system down a bit. I got a bad cold after transfer so didn't take anything. They say its just because we get run down. And the stress doesnt help any. I dont know whether it effect the eggs. I dont think it would. And dont worry for the all about me post, thats what we are here for

Maybe ring your clinic if it would make you feel better.

[Joeve]

Thanks Vic x I actually am not stressed about ivf just being sick now lol I was feeling good!! Anyway I am going in for u/s and bt tomorrow again so will talk to them then.

[Ree*Ree]

Yay for a new cycle Amy!

Joeve I'm sorry you're feeling so cruddy right now, hope you're feeling better soon, good luck for your US and BT tomorrow

Porsche excellent news with your follie numbers and great lining!

me4ever thinking of you today with your egg transfer, hope all goes smoothly

MrsMac how are you going? Any news on transfer date and fertilisation progress?

Jane that's great news, hopefully today's BT shows even more improvement!

Lyra thinking of you in your TWW lovely

Hiya to Vic, N2l, Jbear and Saffy, ticking along waiting for news to report

AFM Got the call from the embryologist this morning to say that 7 embryos have made it through to day 3 now. So transfer will be on Saturday sometime, will call and get my schedule tomorrow arvo. She reckons of the 7, we will have 1 best one to transfer and maybe 1 or 2 good enough to freeze. Doesn't seem like very many should be making it to day 5 which is sad, I was hoping to not have to do another egg collection... Ah well, sticking all my hopes on the Day5 blastie then!

[Porsche]

Hi Ladies

Vic - We'll be TWW buddies cause I expect TF to be 22nd lol. Ahh I get you now. AH has to be on D3. Totally understand that now. Hoopefully you won't need to do any more TF's cause this will be your lucky one FX.

Ree*Ree - Woo Hoo! great news on those embies. It is dissapointing when you don't get the frosties you were hoping for. FX this is your lucky cycle though. I keep being told it only takes 1.

Joeve - I hope you feel better soon. I had a UTI 3 days before EPU last time and was put on anti biotics. I paniced lol.

[Mrs Mac]

Me4ever- I hope everything went well with your Transfer today, and now the torture begins LOL.

Myturn- I hope things have turned around for you, bummer you couldn’t have your ET this week.

Joeve-way to go with the 21 follicles and I hope you are feeling better soon. I really don’t think that being sick now will affect you egg quality but i’m sure the nurses can give you some advise on that. Hope the BT and Ultrasound bring you some good results.

Vic – I’m glad the embryologist gave you some positive news. I always feel more at ease and in control when I have a plan. But here hoping you don’t need to both with the assisted hatching.
J.Bear & Lyra Stardust - Good luck with the BT, FX for you both.

Jane- I hope you got good news from your BT today.

Porshe – how exciting hun, I hope those 13 keep moving along nicely for you.

ReeRee- great news from your embryologist, here’s hoping you don’t need any frosties, looks like its game on for both of us on Saturday, good luck hun, i hope its a sticky one.

Hi to Amy, staffy, N2L, Kashby

AFM- Well recovery from the EPU has been epic, but Dh has been amazing looking after me. I didn’t expect to be hurting so much or for so long but as long as i get a happy ending I am up for anything. I made it back to work yesterday but was still really sore. Today I’m feeling much better, now I just feel like I have done 1000 sit ups LOL. So we originally had 27 eggs collected but as I suspected only 6 were mature eggs. We got 5 Embryos out of the 27 eggs, and the embryologist called today and said that all 5 embryos have made it to day 3, yay. So at this time I am booked for my Transfer on Saturday morning. I asked her if she was confident we would have something to transfer on day 5 and she said they will probably have 2 or 3 to choose from so things are looking good, FX ladies.
