Hi jackie, ooo well i will say the same thing i hope yoiur AF comes soon or not at all for 10 months :wink: it;s really godo to see you im so looking forward to you getting started....hugs

Charlie slow and steady is good for your embies sounds to me like your doing really well...as for day 3 it depends on your clinic i wouldnt trust mine with a day 5 if your clinic are good and do do day 5 transfer then that is better because you know you have a viable little one inside you, with me i have no idea if my embies ever make it past day 3 (would be nice to know)....wishing you luck its not long now and the rewards will be so worth the wait...hugs

MomIW it depends on what type of transfer i mean what day your embies will be transfered on, if day 5 (blasts) then its normal to have a sooner test your littleones are older i always test on day 12 p3dt...saying that 7dp5dt is still a little soon do you do a blood test?....i would ask the clinic if they have it right....

Awww cook if your already in pain it would be a killer to try to BD poor hubby will have to wait and hey think about it soon hes going to have to hold off for 12 weeks no Bding untill first tri scan gives all clear :wink:

love to all Aunty

Hi all,

Just time for a quickie...

Aunty... So thrilled for you! Welcome to the world of stimming. woo hoo!

AMD/Lori...Congrats Congrats Congrats!

Haylie... my heart broke for you when I read your post. If being a mom is your priority right now, then go for it! Never easy being a single parent, but not easy being married to someone who isn't supportive. Think of you and reach out if you need us. I pray that you are at peace with whatever you decide.

Everyone else
... happy ovarian vacationing, stimming, retrieving, transferring and the worst part of it all... waiting!

hugs,
Ange

Haylie - I couldn't think what to write to make you feel better but I think Ange above has summed it up beautifully so I will simply echo her words. Take care and take support from those around you.

Aunty - so glad you are on track.

Cook - hope you are feeling better after all those eggies - look after yourself and keep in touch with your clinic if you still feel yuk.

Sassy - wishing you all the best for the FET.

Carolyn - glad you popped in to say hello. I am starting acu too - I remember how positive you were about it.

Beck - delighted that you and DH are having another crack .

Sorry - my appmt arrived early - must dash. Take care all you lovely ladies.

Hello, Ladies.

First I have a question...when you guys are referring to your beta tests what do the numbers mean/stand for that you refer to? (i.e. 10dp5dt, 12p3dt, 7dp5dt)

Sassy, this wait is awful, but I'm hanging in...less than a week left...I try not to think about it. Thanks for checking in.

Haylie, I'm so sorry you have to deal with this right now on top of everything else. You're a strong woman and I support you in your decision to continue on with the FET. Please focus on that and focus on relaxing your mind and body so you can provide the best home possible for your embies. We're all here for you.

Lori, CONGRATULATIONS!

AMD, OMG that is awesome. This is great news...I'll be looking for your confirmation tomorrow.

Auntie, YEAAAHHH! Grow eggies, grow!

Macca, hope your 2 embies are making themselves at home for the next 9 months.

Cook, I'm sorry you're in pain. Hopefully, the heating pad will help to alleviate some of that. I hope you feel better soon.

Charlie, Glad everything went well with the scan. As far as which day is better for ET, I'm not sure. From the way the doc explained it to me in the beginning, it seemed that day 5 was the best cuz he said they would do a day 3 ET if the embies didn't look like they were doing too well in the lab and if they were growing and dividing fine then they would do a day 5 ET, so I naturally wanted a day 5 ET cuz it seemed to me based on what he said that day 5 embies are strong and healthy. I had a day 3 ET, though and I was immediately concerned and asked if that meant the embies weren't doing well and he said no and that the two they chose to put back were very high quality. It was just that cuz I didn't have "a whole lot of embies", as he put it (I had 6) -- he decided he didn't want to take the chance that these 2 embies that were very good quality on day 3 might not make it to blast in the lab. He said the womb would be a better place for them to continue to grow because in there they can get nutrients that they can't provide to them in the lab, then they would let the other embies that would be frozen continue to grow in the lab. So from that it seemed to me that day 3 was better b/c that meant they were going to be getting nutrients from the body quicker and so would have a better chance of making it to blast. Could be faulty logic on my part, but oh well. So, you see, I really don't know which is better :-). But, thought I'd give u the info I received.

Lots of hugs and sticky baby dust to everyone!

Good evening ladies,

I've taken some time away from the board, but it was not in a negative way; I was shopping around for our belated honeymoon! I found a fabulous package for 8 days in Egypt in a 5 stars hotel for only 1236 Euros (about 1900$CAN... that's for the two of us), all included! I'm very excited but I'll wait until we know if we have to do another procedure after this one (HOPE NOT) or not before we book anything... but that would be exciting (and sassy, it's your fault! Those pics were too nice!)

So far, so good, my body did not totally freak out because of the double dose of Puregon (which was impressive to inject!); IBS is behaving (don't remember who asked, sorry, but IBS is for Irritable Bowel Syndrome) and the special diet seems to keep it so. My night was, again, very agitated; I woke up at 4am after having a very strange dream, once again... DH cuddled me at once and I fell asleep easily... but woke up again at 5:40am or so. Each time I woke up I felt that sharp pain on my right side... strangely enough, it disappeared when I got up, but I even had trouble turning in the bed. A mix of bloating and ovarian pain. Right now, left ovary is hurting and my prefrontal lobe too, just a dull pain that comes and goes.

And a nice twist to my day: I learned that TWO of my friends are pregnant! One is 12 weeks and an old friend from my ex-lab... and the other dances flamenco with me... 8 weeks. Both got pregnant naturally after trying for a couple of months only. *sigh* I was glad for them of course, and I showered them with congratulations... but I felt jealous, too. Bah, didn't ruin my day (my DH asking, "So what? You're not happy for them?" ruined a few minutes of my evening though! lol! they just don't get it sometimes) but I felt a little twinge in my heart all the same.

I'm sorry if I won't reply to everybody's news... there was so many that I can't take that time and just use it for posts when my DH hasn't spent time with me in the evening since Sunday.

Shantala: hey darling! You're so sweet to me! Thanks for your encouragements!

Jemima: Hello! *hugs* glad to see you post again! I missed you! Don't fret about the book, I'm sure the translation is good. I read the translation in French and let me tell you... it was pure literary enchantement. You asked what egg food I use: Puregon; now 200 units per day.

Becleo: hehehe... I'm sure hoping to see my ovaries suddenly turn into grapes indeed! ;) We'll see tomorrow but given what the nurse told me, I really didn't sent my expectations too high for tomorrow's scan.

Aunty: You're very brave to drive so many hours to your clinic! But those little bundles of joy are worth it, aren't they? Thanks for replying to my PMs; I'll reply soon. I'm very glad that you were given the ok to start the egg food! Your favourite part! Growing your future babies! I hope eveyrthing goes as smoothly as possible.

Haylie: What a shock, what a nasty shock! There is never a perfect time to tell such news to a spouse, but my, there are worse times than others! I find you very brave despite the turmoil of emotions that must be rushing through you... whatever decision you make, and it's not easy to make, you know you have our support. I hope your friends and family are giving you all the support you need, too! *HUGS*

Macca: it's great to have news! Hey! Perfect embies, that's amazing! Congratulations sweetie!

Nouna: I'm still alive, don't worry. It does look like we're in the same situation. Let's hang in there till the next scan! :)

Sassy How are you doing hun? I bet the waiting is more unnerving with each passing day... you know you are in my thoughts and I send tons of good waves your way and your babies' way! I'll be looking forward to have news about your ET and embies.

I'm deeply sorry if I forgot anyone... but I'm really fried, I must stop here. Take care ladies, and I'll see you around! My u/s is at 7:30am, so I'll give news whenever I am near a computer.

Lots of love,

Sophie

Well girls, my ET was cancelled for tomorrow. There is still a long-shot chance that i will have an embryo to transfer for fri (or sat, for that matter), but even that isn't lookin' real stellar. I will spare you the gory details... but suffice it to say that there has been (essentially) no growth in any of the embryos in the last 24 hours (we are now end of day 4). (consistent w/what we know re: the vast majority... now wondering if all... our embryos being complex chromosomally abnl). This is my nightmare... and it is also deja vu. I am heartbroken. RE going to try to look at embryos early in the am before starting ETs, so that i know earlier rather than later tom if there is any growth. I had so much hope for this cycle... lots more embryos than before, and E2 much higher. Was even fantasizing that i may have one or two to freeze for future use (pffff!)

So, i am off for sushi... my way of "celebrating" that my ET is not tom. Then a valium to help me sleep (yeah, the sleeping thing didn't go well last night!), and hopefully tom will bring at least a LITTLE good news... i could really use it right now.

sorry no personals... will do in am.

oh sassy!... I'm sorry... I am praying extra hard for you and your embies. Perhaps they just took a breather and will have a bunch new cells tomorrow.

Haylie... I am heartbroken for you. Be strong, you will get through this. Maybe DH will realize he is a fool! You are in my thoughts.

good luck to cookholms tomorrow!

good luck Erin, I think you are doing ET too?

We are down to 7 embies that are 8 cell or larger now. My ET will be Fri. The little ones will not be ready tomorrow. RE says Friday is better for me anyway. I'm a little worried, he says they have slowed a little, but thinks they will be OK. So all I can do is wait and see.

Ok... for my myspace buddies... check out my myspace blog for the link of a Youtube video I made. It's embarassing so I won't post it here. I admit I look and sound like a child which happens when I feel awkward. But I had fun doing it anyway. I see a few things in it I'd like to rework (maybe later). It's just a new hobby I picked up to help distract me from the IVF world. Enjoy!
