Eggcellent Egg Buddies; are you cycling in July/August/September??? Get in here!!!

[tametortie]

We swear! We have to start a new thread every week! But we are the most gorgeous bunch of ladies ever and will do anything to get a baybee in our tumtum.

Get nattering.....

I'm 4dp2dt so basically a week tomorrow since egg collection. I can't remember getting cramps the other times. I don't have sore boobs or any other symptoms though. Also DH wants to wait for blood test and not test before. I can't imagine this willl work but I'll try. I have always bled before the blod test though so I'm just aiming to get to that...

I'll be interested in what your clinic says Choco

I'm going to jump on the DE wagon as soon as this cycle is over. Hoorah for younger women and their juicy eggs!!

I am new to this site - and new to posting on the internet in general. Been TTC since Sep 2011. Discovered in Dec 2012 that hubby has 100% abnormal sperm morphology so we moved on to IVF. I responded very poorly and only produced two eggs. They missed collected one and the other started to disintegrate 36 hours after being fertilised. IVF round two I forgot to take the antagonist injection (to stop me ovulating) and I ovulated on my own! Things were looking bleak anyway with again only two mature follicles. Then had a cyst last cycle so am preparing to go ahead next cycle for round three. My FSH has gone from a 4 on CD 3 in January to a whopping 18 on CD 3 this cycle! Could it be all the drugs/cyst or are my ovaries drying up that fast? Thought it might be nice to have some people to chat to along the way and hence, I found this site. Sorry if I am posting in the wrong place as I am new to all of this so please feel free to direct me to the right page.

Oooh shell you have been through the mill welcome! Where are you in your cycle now?

Where are mejust and euro? Hope you are both ok guys xxxxx

Morning all!

Just a quick one from me this morning. Just wanted to say a massive congratulations to Motor. I understand you being cautious. But I am very optometric for you.

Glad the sickness is coming Juicy. Regurgitated kebab souds tasty

Will try and do a proper name check later. ET is at 2.20. I'm bricking it if I'm honest

Hello, Shellster, yes you are very welcome here It makes me cross when clinics are failing to get enough eggs from the women in their care. Surely it's not rocket science by the second round? Anyway, I hope you get fantastic results with this round.

Your FSH results will indeed be skewed after an IVF cycle. This is because the drugs interfere with the production of luteneising hormone (LH) and estradiol. I wouldn't worry about it, however, don't take my word as gospel as I am simply recalling stuff I have read during my own research.

at Maybe's optometry.

Where is Mejust?

Go get 'em, Motor!

Oooh, Maybe, good luck for this arvo!

Juicy I have 20/20 vision I'll have you know!! Thanks for the luck. Any wise words?

I've never had my eggs collected, maybe, but anything involving GA is a fecking winner in my book...enjoy!

I'm on for transfer today Juicy

Aargh! Sorry, maybe, I'm a dolt! Yes, ET is a cinch; you don't feel a thing , just awe at the whole scientific wonder of it

But I'm dead nervous! Like its all my responsibility now. Slap me now I don't have crabs in my freezer

Just popped in to give an update.
Cycle prob not worked have brown discharge or blood clinic said prob period on way.
May do another cycle not sure in 2 months.
I'm taking a break from thread,I'm so gutted.
Iv decided not to know how recipient got on as can't deal with it right now.

Good luck to life and everyone else cycling.

Big congrats to motor.

Oh Mejust, I'm so sorry to hear this. It's totally understandable that you want to take a break. Please be kind to yourself. Thinking of you x

I'm so sorry Mejust. Take some time to be with RL family and friends and work out what you want to do next. As maybe just said, be kind to yourself. xx

Hi all. Well, the clinic have confirmed that I am pregnant, and it is just starting to sink in! I collapsed in tears when the nurse told me. They did a qualitative not a quantitative beta hcg, so I don't know specific numbers as they say they (my clinic) only do that if there is any ambiguity in the result. I was upset at first, but I have realised that testing and scores and things just give me more things to obsess and worry about. I am officially now grateful and happy and optimistic, while still acknowledging that it is very early days, and we are at a high risk time for miscarriage. My early scan is being done at 7 weeks, so 1st August.

My heart goes out to my cycling buddies who have not had good news - I so wish you had .

Mejust, what a shame after all you went through. I do hope you find the strength to have another go when you have healed emotionally

Motor, what a thrill! Well done, old girl

Where is the lovely fish?

Maybe, stay cool x

nook I have had AF-type cramps since about 2dp5dt which were probably implantation initially. Im sure they are a positive sign, so fingers crossed!! Testing early drove me bananas and I didn't believe any positive results until the clinic confirmed, so.. I would say try to wait until OTD if you can. Having said that I was going bananas before I tested too. Basically if you are at all normal, you're going to go mental whatever you do, so just go with it and use support here.

So, so sorry mejust. Totally understand the need for a break. Hope you & DP have lots of support from others. Take care of each other. x
nomaybe you'll be tickety boo today-promise. My ET was less bother than a smear test ( apart from the rummaging around looking for my uterus . I went back to work straight after & all pain had gone within a couple of hours.
motor looking forward to your news!!!
Welcome Shellster

X post motor. Fan-bloody-tastic! x

choco how was the scan? Ok I hope.

Welcome shell

maybe hopefully transfer will be a fairly simple process for you. I totally understand your anxiety that it is all now down to you - I was so anxious that everything had gone so well, and that it would all fail once it came to me. Don't worry - you'll be fine and your embie/s are now in the best place! Be positive. X

Thanks brooker and juicy!

Mejust so so sorry for you. I hope you're getting some excellent RL hugs. Please come back when you feel you want to. We will all miss you.

Motor amazing and fantastic news. AND fantastic that you now believe it!

Thanks for the advice. I don't have any tests in the house so I figure that I'll have to be really determined to break! I also anticipate getting my period before that anyways...

Not so much cramping today, more like tiny twinges. I've now exhausted Google for the answer. Funnily enough I didn't find it!
