Sassy,

Yes, we can stay on the NHS list while we receive our private treatment :wink: The Dr said that actually a lot of couples do that just to bump up their chances :D
The ICSI is sounding more complicated to me too now - i just dont understand why they offered it to us, like u say, its usually forcouples with male factors?? i think it was because she thought we only wanted to fertalize 2 like the last time, so this way they would have the best eggs to choose from, which would make perfect fertalization as they arnet really sure why our embies the last time only divided to 2cell - may have been slow starters yes, but may have been a 'not so good egg' - but the more im thinking about it the more im thinking that if it wasnt such a good egg, then surley it wouldnt have divided at all????? Oh i dunno, its all so complicated lol - but what Aunty said about the IVF and fertalizing ALL the eggs is a good point, but i dont think they wait for 24 hrs before they freeze, they put the sperm with the egg, wait for fert to happen, then freeze, so we wouldnt know weather we have 10 x 2cells or 10 x crap ones - do u understand what i mean?
Also i didnt know that when they defrost an embryo they can tell within 15ins if its a good one or not, cos i asked the question, what if i take all the drugs and when it comes to the day of defrosting 2embies, they dont make it - then i will have to wait untill next cycle, and she said no - we can defrost another 2, because it only takes 15mins for them to defrost, and we can see if it is dividing and growing - then i go to have them put back on day 2 of defrost?????? Is that right or did i miss summit? My head is all over the place and trust me, when Brian gets home from work it will be 20times worse cos he is a 'wot if sinerio' person, he looks at the statictics of everything - and i know my life is going to be hellllllll untill we come to a decision lol -

Becky...i have a question that would ease a lot of whats causing you trouble.
why are they freezing on that day? if you wait till day three at least they can then not only pick the most advanced for transfer but you will have a much clearer picture of how your others are doing...wouldnt that make more sense?...

your right about defrost as far as i knew they liked to wait over night at least to watch defrosts maybe your clinic have a new way of doing things ?? new isnt always bad

actually rereading your post it sounds to me like your clinic are working all of this for you and Brian i think thats very sweet of them because from what i gathered your concern was once your embies where fertilized you (as we all do) consider them babies right?....now you said and maybe you said this to the clinic that you didnt want to leave your embies to perish in the dish ...by this i took it that you meant you dont want to get to day 2 or three and have to choose 2 and leave the others?.
maybe your clinic thought you meant you didnt want them sitting in the dish at all and only wanted them there if they where going to be transfered??? could it be miss comunication

ask them if they can wait till day 3 to freeze your extra embies

Wow Aunty 11 embies - so pleased for you, this is a long time coming, you must be over the moon. Coming on little ones, grow grow grow... I'm so excited for you, I've been stalking you over the last couple of days to see whats going on!!

Welshie hey your back on the rollercoaster then eh, just couldn't leave us!! Seriously though it is so good to see you back and going for another cycle. I've read your last couple of posts with your dilemma and to be honest hun, you've completely lost me....god knows what you'll be like once you've spoken to Brian ~ even more confusing ...lol.... can see that the decision can't be easy and I know you will make the right one.... just to say that i'm doing icsi this time round, because i didn't get many fert last time, my eggs were too hard and didn't let any swimmers in...more like "eek you're coming in here mate, name not on the list" - very similiar to me and dh ....lol

This looks like a lucky thread with so many BFPs - congratulations to everyone.

hugs

js: so sorry to hear the bleeding has gotten heavier. I am so sorry. I am hoping that you are able to get some good answers in regard to a solution for your ovaries...

Haylie: oooo, it is good to "read" you. Congrats on the ET! I hope you are hanging in there...

beachbaby: Yipee! congrats on your ET!

Aunty: nope, you won't be needing my "bfn celebration" protocol...

empmtb: I am so sorry about your bfn. That sucks. I am wishing you all the luck in the world for next go. Will probably be seeing you over on the march thread...

Becky: ahhh, i dunno. This is so confusing to me :? . Sorry, no help at all. Like i said, though, i am impressed as they really seem to be working with the two of you and i think that is fab! Good luck in the decision. i am assuming you can call them tomorrow or something if you have more questions??? Will look forward to hearing what you decide. i am just SO glad to hear you actually have a GOOD decision to make!!!!

nimble: loved your impersonation of your eggs :lol: .

Will be back in a few hrs with the list

Hi ladies,

Lisa i am so sorry for you, i hope you find a new clinic. take care of yourself.

Becky, I am with sassy we do ICSI due to male factor, i don't see how it will benefit you and it costs more. Sounds like you've got yourself a good clinic there, i think the NHS clinics are more amenable. I am at Leeds NHS but fee paying at the mo as its a 2 year wait here.
My fresh cycle we got 20 mature eggs, 18 fertilised 2 perished overnight. we did a 2 day transfer and 12 were excellent quality on the day, the other 4 had either stopped dividing or had fragmentation. We transferred the best 2 and froze 10. On our FET cycles we have defrosted 3 each time and one has perished both times 1 each time has been excellent and one each time has lost a cell, down from4 to 3, however anything above 50% is good to use.I know your worried that your letting your babies die, but if the are strong enough my clinic will use them, they go on quality at day2.
hope this helps.

Aunty, thanks i'm feeling good a few cramps but nothing too bad, i'm just glad it went well as i have bad fransfers due to a kinked cervix!!!, question how the hell is a baby going to come out there if a catheter won't fit up?lol.
Happy birthday for tomorrow, hope you hear great news on when transfer will be.

Sassy, you are such a strong person. I hope you get good news at your RE app. Good luck and i hope to see you cycling again soon.

To everyone on 2ww, hope your hanging in there, i test in 12 days.
to anyone i've missed my thoughts are with you.


To all with BFP's congratulations.

Good evening ladies!

Wow - I had so many pages to read.

Haylie - it was so good to hear from you - I have been worried - I'm glad you have your little baby back home - Good luck testing on the 16th- that's the same date as me.

Sussette, Cinny and SS - wishing all the very best for Thursday LOL

Meg - how wonderful to hear your babies little heart beat- congratulations!

Mia - maybe twins - wow! :shock: can't wait to hear about your next scan!

JS - i'm so sorry this hasn't worked for you. Good luck in finding a new clinic that can make your dreams come true!

Beachbaby - congratulations on having your babies back home - sending you lots of sticky baby dust and wishing you a speedy 2ww!

Lisa (empmtb) I'm so sorry - my thoughts are with you! Big Hugs.

Nouna - you asked if anyone had implanting bleeding - I was wondering the same thing. I personally have had none and do not know whether it is the norm before getting a BFP? :? Maybe some of the BFP ladies can help?

Aunty - OMG! Congratulations on your 11 ferts! Your post about calling your Dr a fish made me laugh out loud at work! Had a few strange looks!
Now come on little embies keep divided for mommy! You are one step closer to that BFP! Good luck with EC and HAPPY BIRTHDAY FOR TOMORROW!

I am really fed up of 2ww - I feel just like I usually feel before a period - in a mood that I can't snap out of - it is how I usually know I am coming on :? I know I can't give up hope yet - but like someone said before - we do know our own bodies don't we?

Love to everyone

I have did ISCI the three fresh cycles. My clinic fertilizes all of the eggs. But they only do a 5 day blastocyst transfer. Then they only freeze embryos (blastocysts) that are graded fair to excellent. When I did my FET this cycle. They defrosted them in the morning and watched them for a couple of hours before the transfer. They said it takes about 1 hour for them to completely defrost.

Hope that helps.
