Farmgirl, I hope you have a nice break, and I'll save some of that for when you get back! I wish there was something I could say/do to help you right now. I'll be thinking of you, and that you get a BFP from one of your frosty bubs. I'm sure the right one is just waiting for you
Just popping in after being out of the zone for a while. Farmgirl - I'm so sorry for you love - I don't understand why people who really want children struggle, while others seem to get pregnant with no thought (and sometimes love) involved.
AFM - we had 11 eggs collected a week and a half ago which was so exciting as our first cycle was cancelled due to low response. Seven of them fertilised, again very exciting, but apart from the little one that was transfered last Wednesday the rest didn't make it. So just the one. I cried and cried. I don't understand it.
Does anyone know what the fact of the others not making it could mean for the little one that was transferred? I know there are no set guidelines for this type of thing, but I can't help thinking that if the others weren't that good, what of this one? Our pregnancy test is on Monday, but I'm starting to feel premenstrual...so not sure....
Kate, hang in there, it only takes one! Just because the others didn't make it, doesn't mean this little one won't. Was it a five day transfer?
I'll tell you our stats:
IVF stim cycle- we got 10 eggs, then only 3 fertilised and I was so worried, then two made it to day 5, one was transferred and one frozen. That cycle ended in a BFN.
That meant we had just one left and it would have to survive the freeze and thaw, so we worried about it.
Now, that one remaining embie, not only survived the thaw, but successfully implanted inside me and is now growing. It only takes one. I really hope this is your one.
Dont forget PMS signs can also be pregnancy signs, it's so hard to tell the difference.
There are many others on here who have only had one embryo to transfer and that embryo has gone on to be their baby.
I'm back here in the TWW after a hard week (my first IVF cycle ended last month with a ). I had my retrieval on Monday - I was told they had 3 eggs...which seemed fine...but on Tues morning - AT WORK (ugh) - I received a call that none of them had made it through the night. As I had 1 frozen embryo from last month's cycle, my FS & I agreed to defrost it and put it in today (which would have been my 2 day transfer date). Much to my surprise (I was in a very negative mind space yesterday), the embryo survived the thaw and is now in my tummy. Blood test is on the 7th of Oct.
Possums - I'm hoping that you are proof that frozen embryo's are strong enough to hang on!
I'll be checking in regularly in the hope of seeing some s!
kateB..don't give up the fight just yet. I had 9 eggs collected on my first cycle with 7 fertilising. Over the next 4 days each one slowly dropped off until only 1 was left on transfer day. I am now 22 weeks pg. As everyone will tell you, you only need one little strong one to survive and this one inside you may just very well be the one!! Good luck.
Farmgirl, hope you are doing ok. Enjoy your break, take the time you need to feel positive and ready to move forward. It's a hard time. So much hope and expectation. I look forward to seeing you back here soon and supporting you on your journey to become a mum.
Luckystrike!! Tomorrow's the big day. Wishing the very best of luck. My fingers, toes and everything are crossed that you will have good news tomorrow. Hope you are feeling well and AF has stayed away. :goodluck2: :goodluck2:
Welcome KateB. Glad to see you had a much better response this cycle than last. I can't imagine how relieved you must have been when your body reacted well to the stimulation. Hoping the little embie you have inside is getting snuggly and cosy.
Congrats Buliej on your ET today. What an emotional week for you. Glad you were able to transfer a frozen embie. Hoping it is a strong little one and wants to hang around. Fingers crossed you have some good news on the 7th.. the tww will be over before you know it (even though the BT date seems sooo far away!)
Alloy, what a fright you must have got after falling asleep and missing your pregnyl shot! It quickly wakes you up when your brain starts ticking over - regardless of the time of the night/early morning!!
Nicole, JodieC65 and Meo... we are so close! Only 2 more sleeps!! Sounds like we're waiting for Santa at Christmas time... Here's hoping he brings some BFPs wrapped up in a BT on Friday for us all!!
I'm back from my work trip. Just wanted to pop in and wish each and every one of you all the best for your TWW's.
I know a few of you are testing on Friday so I'll be looking out for you all and wishing you all the best for the 26th.
Farmgirl- I'm so very sorry. I know your pain and I hope you get through the next few days ok. We are all here for you.
Kate- I can imagine you are upset with not having any embies to freeze. I've had some upsetting results with our embies not surviving the thaw. We have had 2 cancelled cycles for this reason. One of the embryologists had a talk to me once and explained to me that some embies don't like to be frozen and some just don't like to be out of your body. So while I know you are questioning the little one inside you, you should know that the best place for this little one to be is inside you. That's where embies naturally should be. I keep telling myself this to get through the hard times of losing embies. So my long rant is basically tell you to stay strong and positive because this little one in you is hopefully very happy and growing stongly. Embies should be in their mummies!! Looking forward to hearing some good news from you soon.
Everyone else...will be checking up on you all daily
