@Marvellouslymadmum I had to stop as I was trying to look at every eventuality and the costs were just scaring me...I got very overwhelmed. We've just considered our next step after but not how to do it.
Results are We've got 3 euploid and one which is mosaic but still worth freezing at this point. We'd need genetic counselling if we want to transfer that one and the type of chromosome deletion it has in some cells I've come across once befire and it caused some major health. All depends whereabouts on that chromosome the deletion is. We've got more hope and chance than we've ever had before although not guaranteed.

@kerrym87 that is really good news, let's hoping for that magic embryo!!!!

@kerrym87 gp gave me details for mental health and then midwife finally listened to me after a few appointments of being ignored. This was a different one and I’ve asked if I can see her again. She followed up with me at 6.30 Friday evening to say I couldn’t be offered more scans in this area (same for being consultant led) but she had referred me to the birth choices people. It’s just nice to finally talk to someone who doesn’t seem to be just ticking boxes. I think London probably has so many older and ivf mothers that they changed the rules here so they didn’t have to offer as many scans and referrals, that’s my guess anyway.

How was your PGT-A testing? I didn’t have as many eggs as you, but I know it’s frustrating getting plenty of eggs but not getting many embryos.

@Marvellouslymadmum tmi warning, but since the ivf worked I’ve had none of the vaginal irritation that I’d been having each month for a year or two. I know I’d said to you before I wasn’t sure if it was thrush or bv, or ph balance etc. so I’m guessing this means it’s was my oestrogen levels dropping off as I got older (and now they’re high again). I’ve not had it at all since august. I’m hoping if we get to take a baby home I will be able to chill a little about these sorts of things, they are probably early perimenopause symptoms for me.

@thislittlebird we've got 3 euploid and one mosaic but worth freezing at moment. Glad you're getting more support x

thislittlebird · 20/02/2024 09:47

@kerrym87 3 euploid is great news, I’m really pleased for you. How many did you test?

kerrym87 · 20/02/2024 14:42

@thislittlebird 4, this was all that was usable from 25 eggs and 13 fertilised

thislittlebird · 20/02/2024 15:04

@kerrym87 still, 3/4 is a very good outcome!

Marvellouslymadmum · 27/02/2024 11:33

@thislittlebird that's interesting that your issues have gone, I found mine was terrible when I had my son but fine with my daughter I guess it's all hormone related! Last time my oestrogen was tested it was fairly high I think!

What's people experience of fet? Looking at April but they're suggesting medicated, which makes sense as my cycles are well scrambled for months after ivf. However, I am concerned that the transfer date would not correspond with when my natural ovulation and embryo 'arrival' into my uterus would be. My lining usually responds quickly and well to oestradiol and the embryo will go in after 5 days progesterone. Will it make a difference when it goes back as theyre giving fyremadel to stop natural ovulation? It made a big difference with my last ivf cycle when they started stims (all different drugs) and collected a little later in the cycle

thislittlebird · 18/04/2024 08:04

Sorry for the very delayed reply @kerrym87. How are you getting on? Did the FET go ahead?

@Lauralozzle @Marvellouslymadmum hope you’re ok too

kerrym87 · 18/04/2024 09:53

@thislittlebird not yet. So my cycles are well delayed, this time thanks to 2 viruses and being unwell 3 out of past 5 weeks, grandads death (was at hospital and sorted medical stuff while I was there), funeral and work stress 😬 also got my prolactin tested as I've had intermittent 'lactation'like colostrum since I had implant in. Was told it was side effect but have not had implant in since 2019. Twigged I should probably ask my clinic as private more receptive as withh stress it's got worse. Waiting for result to see whether can start FET meda in couple of weeks time or if I need to have meds for prolactin first. 😒 how are you getting on x

Marvellouslymadmum · 18/04/2024 13:51

@thislittlebird I'm ok, plodding along. Should be moving into our house finally in the next few weeks (no more moving 🎉) my gynae appt has been moved from May to July which is annoying but otherwise all good! How are you getting along?

OP posts:
thislittlebird · 20/04/2024 10:17

@kerrym87 oh god, that sucks. It’s such a pain when you’re trying to get to the next one and everything goes wrong. Sorry to hear about your grandad, hope you’re doing ok.

Let us know how you’re getting on with the prolactin and definitely ask the clinic!

@Marvellouslymadmum annoying about the appointment but good that you’re moving in finally!

I’m ok, 35 weeks tomorrow so it’s all getting a little too real. We’re sorting the house out and moving everything around to make room. I have leftover packs of cyclogest free to anyone if you want to pay just for postage? not sure how much yet but I’ll dig it out and count the packs soon.

Hello everyone

I still keep losing this thread! Gosh @thislittlebird that is close now. I hope it all goes well for you. Fabulous news!

I'm very pleased to be able to share my good news, too. I'm currently 15+3 weeks pregnant using a donor egg. It's taken a long time to get to this point, nearly 6 years now! And not at all the outcome I would have chosen for us but here we are. We are fortunate that technology has moved on enough that this was an option for us. And very fortunate that we have a loving family who've been able to support us.

We're due in October and so far I've had a fairly easy ride I think with minimal nausea. There's a few niggly things like constipation and mild incontinence which aren't ideal but as I'm high risk I am ticking along fairly well.

Marvellouslymadmum · 25/04/2024 00:33

@thislittlebird wow 35 weeks! Not long to go now!!

@MIW01 congratulations! I'm so pleased for you!! This is where I'd hoped to be by now but hopefully I will be at some point! Which clinic did you go with in the end?
