Thank you for your kind words and support. I heard from the Embryologist as she is on her way to San Fran to hand deliver the cell slides.

Only 7 now are still viable. The rest have arrested.

I also spoke to several doctors (not from my clinic) all who agree that this second biopsy will likely cause the embies to arrest...and if they don't...they will most certainly not implant.

So much for PMA.

I will learn my results tomorrow...

I am so deflated. What a nightmare, huh?

Hi ladies how are you all today.?

Zirly:- I'm completly amazed at whats happened to you. I don't know anything about PGD but i've got my fingers crossed all works out for you.
All I can say is good onyou for givign them an earful and demanding they give you another cycle at their expense. Fingers crossed you won't need to though!

Souris:- Hugs for you that you have a better day. I see from your signature that you and your DH have an age gap. A close friend has a 20 year age gap with her DH and has 2 step-sons aged 23 and 20 and I competly sympathise with having to deal with step kids. we are always hear to listen!!..

Haylie:- goodluck for scan and BT tomorrow(friday)...Am posting this now as am away at a conference for the next few days so won't be able to post.

Started Gonal F last night...was easy compared to buserelin!!
Does anyone else notice the smell from It.....it really smells like a hospital!! weird :roll:

Auntie:...don't know how to get all your lovely smilies, but can you update for me that I started Gonal F on the 6th Sept....thanks lovey.
Good luck with your cycle plan :D

Catch up with you all in a couple of days

Hi, Just to add another moan here. I have just had a bath to remove all makeup & deodrant. Dh is well stressed this morning and claims I have got the easy job and his is the hardest one with the most stress. I don't need this today as I thought he would be calm for me. He also doesn't want to hang round the hospital all day till I can come home but I have told him that he has too. If anyone reads this this morning can you send me lots of calming thoughts. I have got to be at the hospital at 10.15 and EC is at 10.45. Fingers crossed for lots of eggs, and DH being able to do his bit so that they fertalise.

Also sorry I have not posted much recently. I feel like I have been letting you down. DH is off work with me this week and keen to do things. Also as EC got closer it seemed like all I thought about was the IVF and I was trying to forget it for a while, not that you can. I hope that you understand.

Right I am going to have a trawl through all of your posts now looking for some success stories to boost my PMA.

Post later
Angela

Zirly - What a nightmare. I hope that it all works out alright in the end. I think if it was me I would have the embrios implanted anyway.

Souris - I really feel for you. I imagine that the meds are not helping as you will be feeling very hormonal. I know that we have had some very silly rows over nothing this last few weeks. Try to keep positive. Maybe your DH like mine is gettng stressed about having to perform his bit and this is how it is coming out. As for his teenager, they are always sent to try us. Try to ignore the problems for now and concentrate on yourself.

Take care

Zirly- I so hope things work out, what a nightmare for you. I'm keeping everything crossed for you and your embies.

Souris - Hang on in there, things have to get better surely, think PMA PMA PMA!!!

Jeck - Have you tried reflexology? I find it really relaxes me I love it, but make sure to tell them your situation so they can adapt the session to your individual needs. I also find it fascinating, she always know when my period is due and she could also tell which tube was blocked that I ended up having removed. Whenever she touches my ankles (which is the area where the reproduction system is) it is always painful. I always try and havea session in the evening so I can just go home and chill and have an early night.

Aunty - good luck with the appointment today

Angela - good luck for your EC it will be fine, will be thinking of you.

Ange- I'll let you know how I get on, enjoy your conference

Have a nice day everone

Hello girls!

Zirly, what a nightmare, I am so very sorry for you. I personnaly think you did well by telling them yo wont pay for this cycle. I hope it will work out and that some of your fighters will survive and stick with you for the next 9 months. Sending you a big hug sweety

Jackie, Ange, Haylie, Jemina thanks for your kinds words and support. Things are better today, at least with Dh. And as far as the problems we have, well we will have to do our best and try to sort it out.
I have been to the chemist today to ask for something that could make my chest pain better. Hopefully it will work, I am also trying to concentrate on my breathing so the stress will go...

Angela, good luck with your EC. You should know by now how many follies you have, I hope plenty. Sorry to hear that Dh was not very supportive this morning, I know how it feels. I think that it the way they cope with stress!!

Jeck, I have heard of cold uterus. That was when I was leaving in middle east. They also have some kind of herbal remedies there, but of course i would not recommend to take anything without the ok of a doctor or a specialist. There are some accupuncturer specialised in fertility problems, but if your isnt, i would not follow her advice, or i would double check with my doc.

Aunty, thanks sweet for yor message, I hope your appointment is going well, you must be excited.

As for me, I have 9 follies so far, size 14 or 13. I am rather happy with it although they need to grow a bit further. I have to pray for my dh operation, and that they will find healthy swimmers. I really cant imagine doing another cycle with to fertilisation!

Scan and doppler tomorrow morning, should be the last one!

take care my friends

Hi everyone. I am waiting to hear from the clinic this morning as to weather I have any left to put in me. Soooo many arrested between the three day biopsy and the fourth day that I am not optimistic that I'll have any left this a.m. I'll let you know.

Angela: Thinking of you. I hope your EC went well and you got lots of great Eggs!!

Souris: Thinking of you. Hoping that your follies grow nice and perfect and that DHs part goes well.

That's all for now.

:D :D :D

Afternoon everyone

Are you all sitting down? I hope so. EC went alot easier than we thought it would do and we got 20 eggs!!!!

Yikes - No wonder I was feeling bloated. The consultant said they just all poped out really easily as well. DH's sample was better than in the past but as we have got so many eggs they have decided to do ICSI with half and IVF with half. If the IVF works they will use them first and keep the ICSI in reserve. Now it is the wait until tommorow to find out if any of them have fertalised.

The nurses kept warning me that I am at alot greater risk of OHSS and to drink loads of water. The consultant also said I was at risk but provided I can breath alright by Saturday they will carry on with ET. He prefers to carry on and then treat the OHSS if it develops. So lots of water for me.

I am in some discomfort but not as bad as I thought it would be. I am just so glad today is over, although I think I will feel better too when the embryos are back inside me. It does feel strange that the eggs have been taken out and our baby might be being concived at this very moment in a test tube.

Well I am going to go back to lie on the settee before DH tells me off. He doesn't think I should be moving around today.

Take care everyone
Angela

Zirly, OMG, when I read your post, I couldn' believe my eyes! How could they do that! In situations like this I always try to convince myself that whatever happens happens for a reason. I know it's easy to say.
Anyway, I really hope everything works out for you and I'm glad you demanded your money back. You go girl!

souris, I know how you feel. I have a stepson who lives with us and he drives my husband crazy with not wanting to do his homework. MY DH is stressed out at work and now this. I try not to get involved - my health is more important right now but I hate it to see how he gets stressed out. The kid shows no interest in school at all and my husband gets all emmotional about it. The only thing I can do for myself is not to get involved but I feel sorry for my DH and worry about his health.
