Icsi ivf may 2024

@BakinABaby hey yes I did have fresh trasfer on the 29th of May 😊hows you ?

@Charis1503 ohh that's crazy I'm with north Cyprus and had no issues. However I didn't do gender selection or testing,
Did they tell you the day after via message how many fertilised, all my coms have been written nothing verbal. I am at my clinic for beta on Tuesday I can ask my clinic for advice on what yours has done

@camelinastorm Kyrenia IVF.

They kept changing how many eggs I had / how many were fertilised/ how many were tested.

They won't give me the embryologist report so of the 10 mature eggs that fertilised and made it to testing day apparently 8 had genetic issues and I had two boys embryos.

But the clinic won't answer any of my questions , won't discuss anything with me - are now ignoring my messages. Ultimately it is my decision if they found a girl embryos who had say trisomy 21 whether I chose to transfer or not. She won't even tell me if it was only two embryos that MADE it or whether they made the decision to dispose of the 8 carrying a genetic issue.

Yesterday she was repeatedly ringing me saying I had to decide whether to freeze the boy embryos except this was the afternoon of day 7 - so everything must already have been frozen or died by then? I responded asking for more info to make a decision and radio silence so far.

@Charis1503 what's the name of the clinic ?

So an update from me.

I'm almost certain I've chosen a dodgy clinic.

I have no viable girl embryos. The clinic are currently not co-operating or giving me any lab reports.

Initially it was 18 mature eggs, 16 of which fertilised and made day 3. Then 9 on day 5.

Then they changed this and said only 9 made it to day 3. Then when I was pushing for the lab reports she changed to say that 10 had been sent for PGT on day 3?

Anyway, they are refusing to return the money I paid in advanced for the embryo transfer.

Absolutely devastated. All of my savings went on this.

I hope everyone else is doing okay.

@Ilovebees that’s a great result! Did you end up having a fresh transfer?

9 is amazing I had 3 so well done 🙌🏼🙌🏼

So I'm on day3 after 5 day transfer, no symptoms feeling quite deflated tbh as I don't feel any different.
My blood test is on Monday and it's getting very close so very scary.

Just found out I have 9 left on day 5.

Just waiting for the PGT results back to determine if there are any that are suitable to transfer.

Just feel sick as a dog. To think I've thrown so much money at it and may end up with nothing. It's heartbreaking.

Feeling so deflated and anxious

@Charis1503 glad you are back, would you not be able to do the fet in July ? I am Also in Cyprus, I had my transfer on Monday Cyprus are quite accommodating I've found.

@BakinABaby wow that is great news !!! Super amount of eggs but not too much to risk ohss, I also didn't find out until day of transfer I fully preferred it that way, even got a picture of them sent

@Ilovebees good luck, let’s hope it sticks around! 🤞
@hopefullsosbry exciting! Here’s to hoping you finally get a sticky one!

I had my EC today, out of 12 follicles they retrieved 10 eggs. Pretty chuffed with the result. I feel fine, some mild cramping, but nothing alarming. Hopefully transfer on the 4th. I won’t find out how many fertilized or how my embryos are doing before then 🥴 Goin on a miniholiday with fam and MIL, I think some celebratory cocktails are in order, hopefully the last ones in a long time 🤞

@Ilovebees its actually going to make transfer really tricky. So I'd need to fly back out to Cyprus on 2 weeks?? 6 weeks is awful timing as have both my son's birthdays in July and my mum's. Which pushes it back to august which feels like a life time away.

I was told my period would start about 2 weeks from egg retrieveral which would make my return to Cyprus in about 4 weeks time.

But if this means I've got to go back in 14 days I'm in major panic mode

@Charis1503 hey lovely ! Glad you’re back from Cyprus ! I have heard it’s pretty normal to bleed soon after egg retrieval , and yes it’s withdrawal bleed , not like proper real period , but you can still count it as day 1 of period because your next period should still start at the right time next time , in 28 days or whatever your cycle lenght is . I have heard that you can bleed from day 4 even to day 12 , so each individual is different , and the reason is because it’s a hormonal crash , you are not doing fresh trasfer so you’re not supporting your body with progesterone to keep the lining thick . So ofcourse it will just come away as soon as hormone levels drop , which is different for everyone , so don’t worry ! Plus it’s good actually because it means your trasfer will come around quicker 🤗
lovely number of embryos for you yay ! 16 on day 3 like I did :)
I ended up with 10 embryos on day 5!
I trasferred a 4AB yesterday , on Wednesday and it went very well , surprisingly I had 24 eggs collected and never developed OHSS, I drank litres of coconut water only , helps massively ! Good luck for your day 5 call on embryos 😍

Hope everyone is well ❤️‍🩹

I had my egg retrieveral on sat and today am bleeding bright red like a period?

I wasn't expecting to bleed until my period (not having a fresh transfer) so totally thrown by this. Sore tummy too.

A quick Google says it may be a withdrawal bleed? I have developed OHSS so am on some extra meds for this? Anyone shed any light 🤷

How is everyone feeling today?

@Ilovebees we have similar numbers I think. 28 retrieved, 18 mature and fertilised, 16 on day 3. I've flown home from Cyprus now so need to speak with clinic today to see what my day 5 numbers were looking like. I hope everything goes really smoothly for you. Was transfer yesterday or is it today? Xx

@hopefullsosbry thank you so much ! I am feeling great ! I didn’t feel a thing at trasfer it went so well :) my testing day is 11th of June 😂 I’ll probably test next Tuesday at 5 dpt , no earlier I swear !
can’t wait till you have yours on Saturdays , fingers crossed you’ll have it done and that all goes well up until then x
have you heard any more news about your embryos , how they doing ? X

@Ilovebees glad your transfer went well.. and that’s great you have 9 to freeze .. I am postive you will get a BFP from that amount ., that’s amazing news ., how are you feeling after transfer ? I have mine on Saturday all going well! 🤞🏽✨

Transfer went smoothly , I trasferred a 4AB 😚 hopefully I won’t have to go through another egg collection with 9 in the freezer yay ! How’s everyone else doing ?

Sorry for confusion , I had 15 blastocyst today but they were only able to freeze 9 +1 got trasferred today 😍 still very happy with that ! Looks like the other 5 today were not great quality that’s why I ended up with 10 blasts all together xx

@Cloclo93 I'm so sorry. That just sucks big time. Just heartbreaking 💔 Just ride out all these huge emotions you must be feeling and once the intensity has passed you can reassess and think of your next steps.

I am currently abroad as IVF so much more affordable (and I can gender select ) so if you ever want any more info about traveling abroad I'm happy for you to PM me.

Sending big virtual hugs

@Ilovebees thays great you have 15 blast to freeze and good luck for your transfer day ! Yay ! We will only be days apart .. 💖

Hey , girls ! I might be okay for my fresh trasfer today as my blood results were good yesterday ! She also gave my results for my embryos
24 collected
20 fertilised
16 on DAY 3
15 blastocysts on DAY 5 ( today ) 😍

@Cloclo93 awwh such nice words! I hope you will get the happy ending! ❤️
@Ilovebees I’m in Estonia.

@Cloclo93 so so sorry to hear that your transfer was cancelled, it's all so unbearably heartbreaking. I would get sperm checked now, fertility clinics always say no point but if your partner has high dna frag then icsi wont work either. more research is showing it actually has a huge impact. Dr Jonathan Ramsey is the guy to go to, he's got a long wait list but you can always just book in with him and do the tests while you wait. It could be something that simple, search his name on mumsnet and look at his website and you will see. Another option if you don't think the protocol is right, is speaking to a doctor call dr sher (an American doctor who has been around since the start of ivf, he was actually taught under the creators of ivf) I've heard he's changed people's lives by advising whether your clinic is giving you the right treatment. If 2 rounds haven't gone well, you should start to investigate things otherwise the same thing could keep happening. All the best to you.xxx

@BakinABaby can I ask what country you’re in ? 😊
