Dec/ Jan IVF support #2

[Chooklass]

First thread is filling up fast so I thought I'd get a new one ready so we can keep on supporting each other through this crazy journey! Will post a link in old thread 😊xx

Morning! No update yet, we're waiting for the call. Started the guessing game, hubby thinks we have 2still growing, I am now a bit more optimistic and said 3, we'll see (hear) hopefully soon.
@stace999 yours are doing great, so exciting!

Got the update, we actually have 5embryos as one fertilised later :)
3of them are growing well: 9cells, 8cells and 7cells. There's one that is slightly behind with 6cells, and the last one is slow growing that's 3cells, we call it the slow little sibling :D
Transfer is at noon on Monday.

Just has the call! Both my little Embryos are doing well! Passed the 8 cell stage and starting to contract so they are pleased. As they are doing things at the moment they are not going to freeze them today just in case they disrupt them so they will wait until Monday.

Glad to hear everyone else is having good news too!!

Great news on the embie updates! We had a slow 3 cell one on day three too. We called it Tiny Tim 😂

We haven't had a call- which is good as they said they will only call if they need me in for a 3 day transfer- but means I have no idea how the little 7 have got on! I won't know till Monday when I get there......!!

Great news, @Chooklass did you get to freeze any at the end?

We had one lagging behind too, but it caught up on day 6 and went in the freezer with its buddies ❄ 👍

Delighted to read such great embie news for you all @Lily999 @huffleclaw @rainbow178 @Stace999 😊 Sounds like on Monday we'll be seeing you on the TWW thread 😘

Hi @BambiOnIce80 good to hear from you, how are the others doing, many BFPs??? Can't wait to join you on the other side haha! Do you remember how many cells did the struggler have? Trying to put all this in perspective :)

All they'd told me about the straggler at the time @Lily999 was that it hadn't made the jump from morula to blastocyst like it's buddies had, but they wanted to give it another day to see if it did - and it did! ☺️ It's almost as if the professionals knew what they were doing! 😂

I'd say there's roughly about 50% BFN's and 50% BFP's over on the TWW thread so far. It's heartbreaking hearing about the BFN's (everyone deserves a BFP! 😢), but it's fantastic being able to rejoice in people's BFP's too 😊 I've been exceptionally fortunate and got my BFP on Tuesday, so I'm apparently 4+4 weeks pregnant at the moment 😳 Still don't think it's sunk in yet!x

Fantastic news all round then. I am still apprehensive as it could all go wrong before Monday but trying to balance the optimism with preparing for the worst. Its a right old mind fu@# isn't it!

@Lily999 There was one good enough to freeze by day 5 or 6 (I'm assuming not Tiny Tim!). So out of 11 eggs, 5 fertilised and in the end we got one day 3 transfer and 1 frostie.

@BambiOnIce80 wow that's amazing ,congratulations!!

I am in total limbo at the moment- so the embryologist said on the phone on Thursday "you have 7 fertilised, book you in for Monday transfer (do you want to transfer 2?) " see you Monday, you won't hear from us unless we want you in for a day 3 transfer Saturday morning"

This morning came and went so all happy etc, then at 2.40pm we both missed a call from the clinic. No message, no one answering our return calls, nothing. Centre is shut for the day. So what are we supposed to make of that!!? Totally thinking the worst and they've all gone but surely they would have rang more than once?

I wouldn't worry too much @rainbow178. Do they have your email? I remember when my clinic couldn't get through to me at the end of the working day and they emailed me in the end.
I'd imagine they'd make it a priority to get through to you had it been really serious.
Fingers crossed for good news for you on Monday 🙏🤞🏼

Congratulations @BambiOnIce80 !!! That's brilliant news!

Fab about you having one to freeze @Chooklass!

I won't be on the TWW thread just yet...having a freeze all cycle so hopefully my two little embies will make it to Monday so we can freeze them. Possibly on a similar timescale to @Dia12 and @Sabz36 now I think. Have my FET planning appointment on the 17th Feb.

I'm not surprised that's worried you @rainbow178 but it's most likely that they wanted to ask about freezing some early maybe? I think if there was a problem they would've kept ringing or left a message saying you needed to ring.

That's exactly how I feel @Stace999 such relief this morning that our two are still going strong, followed by the start of worrying about them surviving until Monday!!

Hope everyone enjoys the rest of their weekends and we all have more happy news on Monday!

Aw congrats @BambiOnIce80, haven't properly caught up on this thread. Amazing news for you. Hope you have a happy and healthy 9m!

Fingers crossed for the Monday updates. It's good so far @huffleclaw. I just want to fast forward to transfer now!

@rainbow178 my clinic said they wouldn't call me but when I rang the receptionist told me they would have called me anyway so it may have just been to update you. Surely they would have tried harder to get hold of you if it were urgent news.

Such excellent news on the embryos ladies @rainbow178, @Lily999 @huffleclaw & @Stace999 that’s absolutely fab well done!!
And so a couple of days relaxing and a couple of transfers yes?

That’s great?
I did my first progesterone last night, 3x 200 and woke up in agony light really bad cramping and heart burn and needing to stretch out? I was expecting bad things but not the first night??? 😥

Thanks for the positivity guys, will just have to see if they ring back tomorrow- will check my emails though!!
I have been on progesterone since Wednesday and have been really struggling with cramping/pain/wind @Minster2012 - Friday after work I could barely stand! I had been getting worried but it has eased a bit today so hoping my body has started to adapt a little bit!

@rainbow178 everything crossed 🤞🏻🤞🏻
Thank you for the reassurance it’s normal on the progesterone too, I hope my body gets used to it, as we all hope it continues with a BFP (as DH said last night “it’s only for 3 weeks til testing”....Er noooooo if it goes well then weeks after 😂) then urgh

Well they rang back today and just wanted to change the time of my transfer tomorrow to the afternoon- they could have left a message! But all good, 6 still going strong she said 👍😀

That's wonderful news! I hope you get a good nights rest, free from worry!

Great news @rainbow178 What time is your transfer tomorrow? Who is is transferring tomorrow and when? @Stace999 @Lily999 ?

Fingers crossed everything goes well for all of you! I'm just hoping both my little ones have survived to tomorrow and freeze so I can have a little bit of time to relax and not stress before our FET.

Just catching up on all of your news, gosh it has been a rollercoaster for some of you!

@Lily999 that is great news about your embryos! Sending lots of luck for tomorrow! 🤞🤞

@Stace999 7 is a great number! Good luck for tomorrow! 🤞🤞

@Minster2012 the progesterone is a bastard isn't it! Have you had the joy of the 4am wake ups yet? 🙄

@huffleclaw my transfer is 1pm tomorrow, we are about 1hr 15 mins away from the clinic so don't mind that it's a bit later. Fingers crossed you get some great little frosties.
@FlapJackered thank you we are highly unlikely to still have 7 tomorrow but I will be delighted with 3 to be honest.

Hiya, sorry busy weekend. Yes, tomorrow at noon, that's my transfer, so this time Tomorrow I should be PUPO! :)
Can I ask if the 7and 9 cells are worse than the 8 and 6? We had one of each of these, but something tells me even if 9cells are more than 8 the even numbers should be better quality.?
