Eggsellent Egg buddies! For those having ivf during April, May and June and any others still around :-)

[starsandmoonandback]

Couldn't see another thread so thought I'd make our new one

HCG is up to 3064

Wowee! What was it before?

Wowsers Val! That's tripled not doubled 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?

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.

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!

Sorry, Stars it was 1084.

Oh goodie. I like looking at 2 lines Val! See you in the morning! Amazing numbers!!!

Val - virtual required!

Great news though, eh?

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

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

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!

Val- congrats, those are fab numbers

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.

Tame .

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.

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?

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?

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?

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

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

I don't know what to think.

All suggestions very welcome.....

Tame I'm so sad it's not better news I've been there with low HCG numbers too, it's so cruel. Sending my love to you and your DH x

Tame you've been to see an immunologist, haven't you? I'm sure you have, but in case I'm confused, go and see one. It's weird how your body lets the embryo implant and then shortly after changes its mind. I wish I was sciencey and understood these things more.

Sorry I missed your more recent posts Tame. Like Val says I guess PGD or whatever it's called is probably the next way to go. I know it's really hard as you want answers as to why it didn't stick. Sadly even if everything is absolutely great. Good quality embryo, good lining etc sometimes it just doesn't work out. I've heard so many times of women having great quality blasts put back, it doesn't work out but then FET works. I really hope that's going to be you Tame x

Hugs Tame, I think immunology sounds the way to go xx

I have had a womb biopsy for nk cells but no other immune tests. I have seen quite a lot about thyroid antibodies and do alpha something or other.

It's an expensive route but think it's one we may have to go down to be honest.

I'm so fed up

Tame it's ok to feel fed up. This is fucking shit x

Do they do immune testing at your clinic? Hopefully it will be a bit cheaper than here in the uk.
