Hi girls. Quick update. They told me I had 9 eggs and still counting. Ended up with 17 although I assume some wont be mature. Have to call in the morning for fert rates. Feeling ok.

Good luck n2l. Am thinking of you x

Yay Vic!!

Woo hoo Vic!!! That's awesome hun :)

GL n2l, thinking of you :crossfingers:

Great result Vic!!

I'm on my way in there now :)

OMG n2l, you're gonna be PUPO today!!!!! :happydance: Hope everything goes well hun, FX!!!!!! xox

Thanks MissB. I have zero confidence. Just going through the motions really....

N2L given the amount of stickiness around lately you must have rolled or stepped in some so you never know xx

My luck I missed the sticky and stepped right in the poo ;)

Well, I'm PUPO anyway. Two embies. Day three - one morula, one compacting. The FS said they dont get any better...

Please pray for me (if that's your thing!)

N2l, I have been praying for a long time for you hun, I'm so hanging out to see you preggers. So I've just added some extra prayers for you and your lil embies. Plese please stick little ones :pray: :pray: :pray:

N2L- will be praying for you heaps!!!

Just got off the phone from the PLA- gee, IVF is freaking expensive!
I'm struggling to think how I am going to pay for it all- and I'm so confused by the Medicare safety net!
I'm just confused in general....
Is anyone with MIVF that doesn't mind an intrusive PM about payment?

Vic- yay what a great haul. Here's hoping you get great fertilisation!

N2L- Congrats on being PUPO, and welcome to 2WW! Yay! It's a little bit lonely in there at the mo :) I know it must be SO hard being positive after so many disappointments, but I hope that you can be hopeful and still protect your heart at the same time. Positive thoughts must help... so here's some for you- you've lost nearly 5 kg, that's great and just might make the difference, and your embies sound fabulous. I've got everything crossed for you.

AFM- 6dpo, just going quietly crazy already. Have not managed to stick to my no caffiene rule so a bit peed off with myself, but not sure if it makes any difference for IUI or just IVF.

Im with MIVF Emma...Happy to help if I can :)

Thanks everyone for your well wishes x

Thanks N2l- I just rang my PLA back and asked my stupid questions.
Apparently my questions, weren't that stupid after all!

Just need to hit my safety net, I think.

you'll do that first cycle :)

Absolutely!

It would be preferable to have already hit it though :)

Sigh, my DH just doesn't understand.
He just hit the roof when I tried to explain all this to him.
For a smart man- he's acting pretty dumb.

Hi girls hope you all doing ok in here!
N2L fingers crossed honey you so deserve it and they sound like great little embies at day 3, this is it for you i can feel it x
VIC hope you feeling ok after you pick up, fingers crossed you get great fertilisation results and they keep growing x
Everyone else i hope you girls are hanging in there and sending you lots of babydust.

AFM i had my pick up on Monday got 7 eggs 5 fertilised.
I rang today to find out how my little embies are going and got the most amazing results after so many years of going thru this and being told my eggs are bad quality, we are already using donor sperm and my FS is trying to talk me into donor embryos, i got a Grade 5 the best grade you can get and the rest are Grade 4, Grade 3 all 4 cell on day so they are doing great so far i just have to pray that they keep multipilying and dividing..
It just goes to show that you can improve your egg quality i am proof of that i think the best grade i ever got was maybe a 3! 1 being the worst 5 being the best!
After changing naturopaths and upping my doses of coq10 and dhea and a few other things i am amazed at the result.
But as we all know anything can happen in the next couple of days! I just have to keep praying

N2L that doesn't sound like poo stepped in embies on board to me!! Lol
Emma I was like you just 6 weeks ago it's scary and yet you will just get swept along and the girls in here are awesome! I wrote a blog to calm me down!! Didn't work though I still kept bothering everyone here with my questions!!!

Vic – awesome haul, FX for good fertilisation rates, not long til you will be PUPO
N2L – congrats on being PUPO, sounds like yu have two perfect embies on board. Praying with all my might that you and Vic will get your BFPs and the rest of us will follow.
Blossum – what an awesome score sheet for your little embies. GL for transfer and TWW. May it go quickly and end well. You’ve been so patient, it has to be your turn.
Emma and Joeve – No silly questions here. Chances are if you are wondering it, someone else is or at least was.

N2L I have my toes, fingers & anything else crossed for you, oh & if it helps I'll give praying a go for you too;)
Vic thats a good number you got! I'll do the above for you as well!
Blossom congrats on your EPU it looks promising;) so I'll add you to my above list as well. Lol

Afm cycle day 1 today. Yay! Looks like I didn't have to wait long to start the pill so here we go again:)

Morning Girls.

N2L - Well done on being PUPO. I know your not too invested and I can totally relate to that.

Blossom73 - I was thrilled to read that your embies are a lot better quality than previous cycles. I too have been told egg quality so its interesting to see what your taking and to see that it does work. My FS is pretty much against taking anything to help.

Hi to everyone else

AFM - We finally got home last night after missing our flight. We underestimated how long it would take to get to the airport and so missed it by 10 minutes. 2 hours sitting in an airport and then finally on our way, only to have the bumpiest ride ever. I was almost reaching for the bag multiple times but the thought of what to do with it after freaked me out so resisted the temptation lol.

I am anxiously waiting for the results to see how many fertilized and when to book my flights. I feel different this time around. Still sore but no where near as bad as I have in the past. I had a different doctor do the procedure and he was so lovely. This time my vajjay is not sore and I can actually sit down. I dont have that awful bloated feeling like I have in the past. I think he really drained me and that why I got so many eggs.

I will be back later with fert numbers.

Vic- best of luck!

I got my police check in the mail today :dance: :dance:

Hi Ladies

Vic - Can't wait for fert rates. Good Luck!

N2L - Woo hoo on being PUPO!

Back again. 9 fertilised. The others must have been too immature, like we thought. They will call me Saturday with day 3 numbers and transfer will be Monday of (hopefully) 2 blasties.

Yay Vic that sounds awesome come on magic 9!

Hey Vic that's exciting great results!
I have been on 600mg coq10, 100mg dhea, herbs, vit e, mega fol, multi vit, 1000mg fish oil, ovarianne,vit d, vit c plus I have a couple of other vitamins and I drink vital greens every day! I see a lady in melbourne called anne digby I just have phone consults with her I found her on the web after many naturopaths and Chinese doctors I believe she has def helped me with egg quality.
Plus I get acupuncture too.
My embies are still doing well a few have dropped off a bit but still got the grade 5 doing well which I'm happy about! I have transfer on sat then into the horrible 2ww.
X

Vic great news!
Blossom good luck for sat, I hope the 2ww goes quickly & with a positive result;)
Hi everyone else!
I have a question...does anyone know if there is something that helps thicken your lining? I'm going to check with my FS when I see him next week, it's just that was a problem on the first cycle. I thought that if anyone had any suggestions?? I could at least ask him when I see him:)

PlanetSasha when I did clomid my fs put me on Progynova (sp) to ensure my lining didnt thin out. Perhaps that would help?

Thanks Joeve:) I'll remember that one just in case! He will go over my cycle with me next week, I just thought asking you lovely ladies will arm me with info to ask the right questions.

Evening Ladies

Goodluck N2L- fingers crossed this is your lucky month
Those number sound great Vic hope your five dayers are in for the long haul.
Joeve I have had trouble with lining I take 6 progynova a day and still was a bit thin so they also added 10mg eostrogen pessaries as well.

AFM-transfer went well top grade 4A embryo day 5/6 inserted. Feeling a bit crampy in tender but praying for a miracle. I will move over to the TWW now ladies my blood test is 6/6.

Take care and stay strong
Love Beexx

Hi girls - finally had a chance to reply on the computer rather than my phone!

N2L - yay for being PUPO :) toes and fingers are crossed for you hunny

Vic - congrats on your eggs, nice haul! 9 fert is fantastic! Soon you will be PUPO too.

PS - I use progynova during my FETs, its to help prepare the lining as Joeve said. I take one tablet 3 times a day but dosage can vary. So it's very likely that could help you too. Glad AF arrived quickly for you.

Bee - fantastic embie and yay for being PUPO! Good luck!!

Blossum - GL for transfer tomorrow :)

Hope everyone else is doing well.

AFM - just plodding along, first scan is Tuesday so fingers crossed lining is thickening up nicely!! DD and I have had colds this week and been generally miserable, so we are having a quiet weekend. Though I'm going to attempt making Adriano Zumbo's macarons from the recipe in yesterday's paper. Never made them before but they look delish! Have a great weekend girls xx

hi ladies :hello:

i am back in here after a little break from ivf, doing a FET this month & currently cd 5. had a great FS appt monday & happy with our plan to try the bondi protocol for this FET. it will mean more med's than i usually take for FET's, but really hoping that the change to protocol works for me. scan booked thursday to check lining, so hoping that my body behaves itself this month. this will be my 9th transfer - im sure that 9 is a lucky number somewhere in the world?!

vic - well done on the egg haul, fingers crossed your 9 are going strong. hope you're feeling ok post epu.
PS - im another one using progynova (first time this FET) to thicken lining, definately worth mentioning to FS i reckon. ;)
mrs p - hi & goodluck with your scan tuesday, sounds like we might end up having FET's around the same time (and goodluck with those macarons - ive heard they are really tricky to get right!).
hi to everyone else :hello:

goodluck to everyone who is PUPO, waiting for transfers or cycling at the moment. :)

Hi Girls

Welcome back Andie78. I have been following you for a while and know what a rough time you have had. I hope that this will be the one for you x

Well done Bee & Blossum on being PUPO. Good luck surviving the TWW madness :)

And good luck to the others in your natural TWW's.

AFM - Recovering better than the other times. I am still a bit sore and taking it easy, however the house is suffering lol. Will try to get motivated and do some housework while DH is out on a job. He has been amazing and taking really good care of me. He came in this morning with a coffee and a fresh rose between his teeth. I giggled but thought it was sweet too. I am still waiting for day 3 numbers later this morning.

Good luck Blossom xxx

GOod luck Blossom!! See you in the 2WW x
