Thanks for the replies guys :D and nice to see we can get BFPs even with quite a few immature eggs among the good'uns.

I did wonder if they affected quality so it seems not! Might ask my RE to prolong my protocol next time to see if it makes a difference, but like you say it could just be one of ...

Hi ladies,

I'm going through my first IVF ICSI at the moment.

Well today I had my ER (not as bad as all that) and we were told we got 17 eggs after 9 days of stimming - sounded OK to me. The downside however was that only 7 were mature :?

Unfortunately my RE wasn't around so couldn't ask any ...

Hi ladies,

Hope everyone's well.

As for me, my first IVF adventure has just begun - had my injection of decapetyl on Monday. It's weird, I wasn't sure what to expect, but thought I'd be feeling a bit moody or having 'flushes' by now, but in fact I feel completely normal, no twinges, nothing.. A ...

Hi ladies,

I'm preparing for my ICSI next month and the doctor told me to start taking a brand of folic acid tablet. When I told him I take vitamins which included folic acid already he told me to stop them and just take his tablet.

I'm a bit reluctant to stop my vitamins so thought I would take ...

Hi Beachbaby,

Thanks for your reply. I thought it would probably be to increase once BFP but didn't want to take any chances. Thanks again and good luck.

Hi ladies,

I've been reading these boards for a while and will be starting my first ICSI in November. Was just wondering if anyone uses Levothyrox to control their hypothyroidism and has the answer to my question.

I know I need to increase my usual daily dose on confirmation of a BFP but do I ...
