Hope they call early in the day 🤞🏻

@all so good news so far, 4 out of 5 fertilised and doing well, they now get tucked up until Monday and I'll find out if any have made it and if I get to transfer 😳

ivftake1 · 29/10/2020 13:46

That's great news

Raggity19 · 31/10/2020 10:12

How is everyone doing?

I’ve caved at 7dp5dt. Is this a BFP? I don’t dare believe it...

@Raggity19 I'd say it is! Congrats x

Freezerbump · 31/10/2020 14:08

@Raggity19 OMG I was just thinking of you all, that is a proper line! Congratulations! Xx

I'm willing my little eggs on over the weekend, hope they open up the box and find something on Monday ... if there is transfer at 1530...

How are you all? Xx

Raggity19 · 31/10/2020 14:29

Omg do you think so? Thank you 🥰 I hope it sticks. Is there ever a time during this process that you don’t worry 😂

Good luck for Monday @Freezerbump

How’s everyone else getting on? Xx

Freezerbump · 01/11/2020 08:11

@Raggity19 I don't think there is a time that you don't worry about something or other.... prepares you for parenthood I guess! Xx

Mctm123 · 01/11/2020 11:27

Aww congratulations @Raggity19 🥳🥳🥳

Hi Ladies, Got my follow up call for our failed cycle today. Any specific questions I should ask? xx

Freezerbump · 02/11/2020 10:28

😳 2 blasts and 1 pre blast made it, they suggest popping them all in... 1530 transfer... wish me luck ladies!

jm2020 · 02/11/2020 10:48

@Freezerbump good luck xx

jm2020 · 02/11/2020 10:49

Hi Ladies Hope you are all well.

Had my follow up phone call for our failed cycle. He said it wasn't too early - I had 6 big follicles ranging from 17mm -20mm. He doesn't know why only 3 out of 10 were any good. The lab are doing a report for him to try and understand what happened. He said it could be my egg quality but he can't be sure. Then he suggested ICSI (intracytoplasmic sperm injection) even though the sperm was great.

Don't know what to think or do

Freezerbump · 02/11/2020 18:48

@all well that's me pupo, up to those little things now.. how's everyone else's TWW?

@jm2020 did the doc think ICSI might improve your rate poppet? I need to scroll back but did you have trouble fertilising the eggs you got out? If that's the case ICSI might help, be kind to yourself and just ask as many questions as you can xx

jm2020 · 02/11/2020 18:58

Good luck @Freezerbump

The problem was out of my 10 eggs collected only 3 was mature and they all fertilised fine just 2 of them didnt' grow enough x

ivftake1 · 02/11/2020 19:57

@Freezerbump how come they suggested all three?

I'm 7dpt now and OTD is looming Confused

Freezerbump · 02/11/2020 20:08

@ivftake1 Oo good luck! Keep me posted 😬
I'm 42 so an old duffer and can have up to 3, I had 2 blasts and the 3rd was pre blast so I had a choice whether to use it or lose it, not suitable for freezing, was the same stage this pm as it was this am so it may have stopped already, one of the blasts was cracking on to expansion so it was really lagging.

I figured I'd rather do this with no regrets, if I left it out and none stick would I always wonder.. so popped it in... Although I'm shitting myself that there is a possibility they'll all stick 😳 but with my odds being about 15-20% at my age it's worth a gamble!

@jm2020 ah ok, I wonder if it's a timing issue then, or a protocol adjustment? I had gonal and menopor and they all seemed to tick over pretty much together... interrogate your doc :) xx

Ah makes sense thanks for explaining!

I only had one transferred but I kind of wished that I had two now...

Because it's been so hard to get a second child, I've decided I want three now. Which is total IVFLOGIC Confused

If this fresh round doesn't work, perhaps I'll ask for a double FET next time

Freezerbump · 02/11/2020 20:24

@ivftake1 I have everything crossed that yours has stuck, are you waiting until OTD? I think I will at the moment but will see how my willpower holds out!
I think this is a one time thing for me (famous last words!) so I'm going all in.. so let's hope one of them sticks surrounds self with Pom juice and pineapples

ivftake1 · 02/11/2020 20:28

I want to wait for otd because there's quite a lot of difference of opinion in how long the trigger stays in the system and I would absolutely hate to get a false positive. I didn't test out the trigger either so....

Plus I gave up testing at all around the 16/17 month of trying mark and feel pretty war beaten by it Sad

ivftake1 · 02/11/2020 20:29

Got everything crossed for you @Freezerbump

Freezerbump · 02/11/2020 20:49

@ivftake1 totally get that...what peril weeing on a stick can bring, currently binge watching YouTube post transfer videos... because that's super helpful 🙄

Omg there are videos...? Dare I ask what they're chatting about?

ivfhope3 · 03/11/2020 11:14

@jm2020 sorry to hear about everything.
Out of my 11 only 5 fertilised thorough icsi.. I didn't even think to question. But I did ask about the quality an they said they would only ever freeze ones that look too quailty.. ( that's didn't work for me)
Now that you've brought it up I'm wondering why mine didn't an this maybe why mine didn't work. Did they find out at all??
How are you feeling? What's are the next steps for you??

@ivftake1 good luck on your otd you are super a waiting that til the date..
my clinic won't transfer 2 they only do one as there are more risks. I asked for 2 this time an they have said no.. I think it should be up to us..

@good luck with pupo..

I've had my second op over 2 weeks now ago.
I've finally have a negative test. And started my period on Friday.. which I've never been so great full to see.. even tho it's so painful. I have my scan booked for Tuesday to check ovulation.
An looks like if I got the dates right transfer will be on my birthday..

How is everyone doing I'm so sorry I've been so quiet.. I actually feel a bit normal now...

Sending all lots of love xxx

Glad you feel better @ivfhope3

Does everyone that tests early test out the trigger?
