Val- yes and it came back as excellent! Only 3% fragmentation. Hmm

I don't know what to think.

All suggestions very welcome.....

nobeer · 02/05/2014 07:40

tame I'm so so sorry Thanks That is so bloody unfair.

vallinnapod · 02/05/2014 07:39

Tame ((hugs)), I've said it all on the other thread. I still have everything crossed.

There is another area to explore and that is genetic testing. A genetically abnormal embryo can look perfect to the naked eye. Has DH had a sperm fragmentation test?

resipsa · 02/05/2014 07:30

And all they say is they don't know.

I asked the same question but got no satisfactory answer. Why do these wonder-embryos implant then fail?

tametortie · 02/05/2014 07:23

Res- the thing I find really hard is that fact that everyone seemed so certain it would work. I'm only 33, have a child already and donor eggs have a really high success rate.

So why not for me?

resipsa · 02/05/2014 07:17

Tame Thanks.

Don't think I can say anything to help but I have an inkling how you feel (as I was similar after DE worked then failed in Dec). It feels so bloody unfair.

I suppose that I should say focus of the frosties but know it's too early for that.

tametortie · 02/05/2014 06:55

Val- congrats, those are fab numbers Smile

Mine sadly, were not so good.

After a couple of days of fading pg tests, my hcg came in at 41 yesterday which clinic says is too low.

Gutted is an understatement.

Retesting tomorrow but know in my heart that it's over.

What do I do now?? I did everything. Sad

Turquoisetamborine · 01/05/2014 21:54

Val those numbers are fab, double congrats.

Cups it really is your time. I'm at the three years mark so behind you in the queue.

I'm watching Wanted, a family of my own. I want them!

vallinnapod · 01/05/2014 18:09

I still hold off a double celebration until we do a head count on 21 May.

TBH I am obvs really pleased but it all looked great at the stage, and the two early scans in the summer and that ended in a MMC. Focusing on the positives Smile

nobeer · 01/05/2014 17:43

Blimey val! That's amazing! How are you feeling?

resipsa · 01/05/2014 17:29

Sorry, Stars it was 1084.

vallinnapod · 01/05/2014 16:51

Yes, I posted on Tues that I peed on. CB digital and expected it to say 3+ but it still said 2-3. Have one internet cheapie left so in the interest of this thread and my own mentalling I will pee on it tomorrow!

NoCupcakesOrCocktails · 01/05/2014 16:39

Val out of interest have you POAS recently? I'm interested if the line would actually look that different as we all drive ourselves crazy over how dark the lines are.

NoCupcakesOrCocktails · 01/05/2014 16:37

Wowsers Val! That's tripled not doubled Grin amazing news. Now you can look forward to your holiday.

Res, Stars and Twinks I really do hope it's my turn next! I want all the egg buddies to get BFP, we all deserve it.

Res good work on winding up DH!

Tame are you doing ok?

Res, I've not got a firm plan yet! But it's day 1 today and will have endoscratch in about 3 weeks time, ready to start the oestrogen tablets next day 1! Need to get organised and book coordination apt, scratch etc....

Hope you are ok Tame?

Cups, it's definitely your turn Grin

Val???

Grin at your DH Res. When I told my DH what the consultant said he was really shocked....despite the fact we had lots of debates about whether we were happy with twins. He was always all for it...Hmm I think in his mind, we had two put back with DS therefore it wasn't a risk HmmHmm That said I still think it highly unlikely I am PG with twins.

I am feeling really anxious about the results today though Sad. I can just feel my stomach sinking if my levels haven't risen as the should have done. We are going to Cornwall tomorrow for a week so it is not like I can just get them repeated in another 48 hours time (which would be a KILLER wait any way). Why can I not be a glass half full person??

resipsa · 01/05/2014 13:56

BTW - Cups - hoping you have no need for Care this year but if you end up there, I'd be happy to share knowledge. I've been, ahem, handled one way or another by all the doctors there now and they are not all the same...

resipsa · 01/05/2014 13:55

Hi Stars. Oh, you too have a plan. Good to know.

So, Val and Tame, we wait. I'm a bit worried about Tame's silence...

Had a good laugh winding up DH last night about twins. It seems that hatching blasts with 100% cell recovery do best in terms of achieving a pregnancy after FET. He is genuinely worried. Excellent.

twinklestar2 · 01/05/2014 13:26

Cups - 5 years... It is most definitely your time x

Congrats on being pupo Res Smile hope you'll be chucking your guts up in a few weeks time.

Val, eagerly awaiting your results Grin

I may be having transfer about mid June if my frostie defrosts ok. X
