Hi can anyone help me, iv just finshed ivf and had 2 embryos put back last friday 24/7 they were on day 3 of incubation, should i be feeling ot seeing any signs of it working or not working by now... it may be a silly question but i cant stop thinking the worst... has any1 got any information they can share with me?

Hi Aliz,
FWIW, I conceived the twins I am pg with (28 weeks) through Mr Gorgy's clinic on Wimpole Street. He worked with with Taranissi (from ARC) till a few years ago and then set up on his own.
we didn't have IVF, but ovulation induction with Puregon and buserilin, followed by trigger shot - then steroids (till 20 weeks) and heparin (till 30 weeks) and IvIG transfusions till 20 weeks.
We had been ttc for 6 years. 4 years on our own (no success) 2 years NHS fertility treatment, 3 pg's, lost all of them (twins at 6 weeks, single at 7 weeks, single at 9 weeks). Got and stayed pg 1st time round with Mr Gorgy. Turned out I have some immune issues that were preventing the babies from implanting and thriving. Can recomment Dr Alan Beer's book 'Is your body baby friendly'. Complicated but it does help to have a better clue of what the Docs are talking about! From other ladies at the clinic, it seems that Mr G offers the same treatments as Dr T, but cheaper, and with a shorter waiting list.
Needless to say, I adore him.
Sorry to hear about your disappointment this month - I so remember that awful rollercoaster and tbh am terrified and will be till these 2 are safely in my arms.
If I can be any more help, give me a shout...

Thanks LL. I am feeling much more positive. taking a break, drinking my raspberry leaf tea and starting again. havent done that in a while, but cant hurt. Do you think i should go with same hospital, with 45% chance of success or with that other hosp in london with 66% chance? cant think of name of doc (richest in england apparently) or name of clinic but it is really obvious name like Assisted Reproduction Clinic or something. is it worth going to another one with better chances? sounds obvious, but not sure. dh thinks we should go to new one. it makes sense that it must work some time. i just cant help thinking that the problem is with getting the little guys to latch on and i wish i could do something about it. i read a lot about early m/cs in last few days and now that i think about it over last maybe 12 months i had a lot of heavy clotting during afs, so perhaps i have been conceiving regularly and miscarrying v early and not realising.
What exactly is nuchal scan? i have an idea that it tests for downs, but you can correct me. i didnt have it done myself, wasnt offered it. all of these things are scary, but once it is over, you can heave sigh of relief and get on with it. now we can tell you to relax again, relax and it will be fine!!!! sorry that was a joke. BLOODY RELAXING IS OVER RATED!
anyway most importantly take care of yourself, put the feet up, roll on tues and it will be all over. xx

Ailz - on the one hand I'm sorry to read about your outpouring yesterday; on the other hand it sounds as though it may have been cathartic. I hope I'm not sounding trite when I say that you should be positive - and know from experience how bitterly hard that is when you're in the throes of a cycle not working. One of the most shocking realisations I've had in the past few weeks is that I don't really think, deep down, I EVER expected IVF to work for us, no matter how many times people told me to be positive and that I responded well so it should work. So many people have said to me re. my shock at expecting twins "but surely you must have known there was a big chance of that after IVF?". I can honestly say that I think my negativity was so entrenched that when it DID work, I certainly didn't expect it to have worked doubly well! Who knows what lies ahead (nuchal on Tuesday; terrified) but now that it has worked for me, the logic of what everyone told me beforehand has clicked into place a little. Even the best cycle with the world's most fertile couple producing the world's most perfect embryos is still a numbers game once they're inside you. And if all those other factors went well, then although of course it would have been totally fab for it to work first time, you just have to puff your chest out and take a deep breath and prepare yourself for the next time. You will get there, and there will be a sibling for your DD. Enough rambling for now - take care xxxx

Thanks a lot. here is to next time!

Pleased that you dealing this so positively - good luck next time!

Thanks LL, i had my wallowing, crying, feeling sorry for myself afternoon yesterday, but have talked to dh, sister, mum and feel better. really was ready to give up, but feel better today and ready to give it a go again in month or two. you are right i am good candidate, everything went well and responded well to it all, so should work some time.
Thanks orangepink my dh has a lot of hope still because my af is not very heavy. i think it is all over but it is good to hear success stories. i know it can take a few tries and i should be patient. congrats on your two successes! i have one dd and would dearly love to add to that. some day! hi dophus and caitni still bleeding, pretty sure it is all over (i know it actually) but will do test as instructed tomorrow, though i know outcome. i have actually come to terms with it after my outburst yesterday evening. i just felt very stupid, useless, angry with myself. i, just for 15 minutes, saw my life play out before me (as only we can do) and heard all the questions about why i only have one child and am i going to have another one and having to hate everyone who asks, and having to make up an answer to that question forever and imagining all my friends and family having babies forever and me not. it just all ran through my head like a freight train out of control, couldnt stop it and felt very very sorry for myself, but i am over it. it was shocking.

ailz just seen this - how are things today? Has the bleeding stopped? Thinking of you xx

Ailz - sorry to hear. good luck

Just wanted to wish you all the best. Have been a lurker for years but now finally moved to write my first post. I bled so much with my fifth IVF (from day 10 - 13 post embryo transfer) that I stopped the Cyclogest for a few days. The bleeding was heavier than a period. I don't want to give you false hope but I got a BFP on day 14 and now have a healthy DS2 (DS1 was the result of our 4th IVF). Thinking of you.
