Mindhugs ~ So glad to hear the antagonist cycle is so good. How many did you end up with? FX they all fertilise for you, GL.
Kaybee ~ thanks hun, I am feeling a lot better, things finally looking up a bit. Im sorry about your 3 non-viable pgs. GL with decisions. Everyone is different but Id probably give it a couple more shots 1st and then think about doing the NK test. But then again i may feel different If I was in the same shoes, hard to say. Or like Terry suggested perhaps get some other cheaper tests done first. Wishing you all the best.
Terry ~ Hoping the time off goes quick and you get your BFP soon!
Mindhugs - maybe try typing your reply on a word document and then cut and paste so if you do lose it you have a copy as a back up. I do thaat when i type long responses.
Kaybee - Well I have lost a bit of confidence. but I think we have gotten to the bottom of it all.
I rang the nurse today and asked about the synarel interfeiring with O. She said don't worry no it won't. I then asked her if you could O withpout having dominat follicles she said she didn't think so but I should check with the Dr so she transfered me through and he was busy with a patient and to call back at 4:30. So I call back at 4:30 and he's busy again he'll call back. Ok 1/2 hour later I get a call.
He said that according to my B/t I was about to o or had just O'd and I mentioned that at the dildo cam on Tuesday there was no dominant folliecle and that i haven't had a BBT rise to confirm O. So he said well seeing as I haven't had a temp rise then then no I haven't O'd (I've been saying this along) anyway it is part of having PCO in that my LH can surge but no O happens. So long story short he wants to see me again tomorrow for another dildo cam and another B/T. he wants me to start synarel on Sunday (he already has me on synarel as of Tuesday). So synarel will wind everything down and AF should arrive. I don't know how long that will take but it's on my FAQ list for him tomorrow.
Phew!!!!!!
Good luck to you who are pill popping, sniffing, jabbing, EPU, ET, FET & Tww'ing!
Porsche - you've really had the run around, you must feel exhausted. I hope it's all sorted from here.
Kaybee - sorry to hear about your BFN. I would be wanting answer too if it were me. I'm not sure what tests you've had as Terry said there are a range of immunology type tests and there's a list in the Long Term Assisted Conception thread. I had a battery of tests done prior to IVF. I had the NK one done by biopsy when I had a laparoscopy. I told her that I wanted to be opened up only once so do everything whilst you're in there. I was very lucky and private health paid for most I was about $1000 out of pocket. You can however have a lap done through the public system so you could ask your FS about that. I have heard of it being done by BT as well, but I don't really know anything about that. As for having to miss a cycle, my FS didn't mention anything about that. She would have put me straight onto an IVF cycle but I wanted a month break. I started IVF 2 months after my lap.
Mindhugs - I hope you've pulled up okay from the EPU. GL for the fertilisation.
Loops - yay!! for selling the tractor. Enjoy your time away from the whole TTC thing.
Ferrals - I just wanted to wish you luck. I"m not sure of about E2, OHSS etc.
Sarah - Hi, wishing you luck with your cycle and hope the waiting time flies by.
Hi to all the other ladies who may be lurking around.
AFM: It's quite over in the TWW so thought I'd update here and hope you don't mind. I had some cramping over the last couple of days and feel like AF is on it's way. I have been feeling more up beat in the last few days, yay. No more bleeding since the one off on Thursday so maybe the nurse is right in saying it may have been the crinone extracting out old blood. I'm trying to enjoy my last few days of being PUPO and not really looking forward to testing. Testing seems to spoil everything - lol!! I will however probably test on Monday or Tuesday ahead of my BT on Wednesday. I need a few days to process so I can keep it together when the nurse gives me the news.
The got 13 eggs at EPU, 11 were mature enough to be used. We did ICSI and 7 fertilised overnight. Now FX for them to make it to Blast. Considering I'm in my late 30's and my Puregon was reduced to 125 units as I OHSS'd on 150 units last time - not too bad. You know what they say - it's quality not quantity. Still, it's always nice to have some in reserve - right?
I'm gonna be holding my breath.
Good luck to all of you who are jabbing, sniffing etc etc. Hoping we get some more sustained BFP's in here!!!
Hope you're all out enjoying your weekends (not sitting at a computer like me).
Terry - thank you for your advice about the immunologist. I've just done a blood test (they took 13 vials) so maybe I should see if that shows anything up first. Then I would at least have those results to show the immunologist.
Lisa - thanks for your info too. The FS didn't say I would have to take a moth off, but if I was having a biopsy this month it means having a general anaesthetic so I wouldn't be able to do ivf until the month after, that's all - I'm just getting impatient.
Mindhugs - your numbers are great - hope they keep doing all the right things over the next few days. When is your transfer?
I've got an appointment with my FS next thursday to decide what to do next. Has anyone done a natural FET cycle, not with HRT? I've only doen HRT ones and you have to start taking pills on day 2. So, I'm thinking that seeing as I'm bleeding now and have been for a few days that next thursday is going to be too late to start, unless I do a natural frozen cycle.
Anyway, have fun with all of your popping, jabbing, inserting(!), etc
Well we finaly have the same page with the FS. We have agreed that I'm not ovulating and I still have no dominant follicles. So I'm pill poping for the next 16 days. Halfway through pill poping I'm to start sniffing again and then we go from there I guess that is standard procedure. I'll get my BT results tomorrow and I have to ring FS at 7am. Much more happy with this now that we have the O or not O sorted. DH SA came back glowing which is just great something else for him to brag about lol.
LisaB - FX that that cramping is your BFP waiting to be discovered.
Mindhugs - Yay! I can't imagine getting that many eggs. Hope your not too tender.
Loops - Congrats on selling the tractor. Eases the pressure a little.
Terry -
Good luck if you are taking a break, pill popping, sniffing, jabbing, EPU, ET, FET & TWW'ing!
Kaybee - I did 3 natural FET's. I fell pregnant on my 3rd in Feb this year. At the time I had extensive endometriosis too (which we found out months later). This is our angel baby at 10wks. But I love natural FET. Nothing to worry about - very easy.
Porsche - once they got you all sorted out you will pull numbers hun. Luckily for me it's one of the few things I DON'T have to worry about.
AFM - nervously waiting to see if my embies make it through. I lost 7 out of 10 last time going to Blastie. I'm hoping that by using ICSI this time I lose less, since we only have 7 fertilised. My transfer should be Wednesday. My FS is away and I have another FS they call "Lucky L" (won't put her surname in here in case I get in trouble - but happy to PM for those living in Queensland who want to know - this FS seems to achieve where others fail.....)
