Hi all, I'm new to this forum, but well experienced Infertility.
I have just done a fresh embryo transfer on 3rd Nov. This time, I had a different protocol: injecting Human Growth Hormones prior to the egg collection rather then any other hormone injections. It seems really worked: seven embryos developed, three transferred and the other threes have been frozen. One of the transferred ones looks very good since almost none fragmentation compared to the photos of the embryos in the previous cycles. My hub and I are very happy with this achievement (quality than quantity). Thank you, Dr. T!!
It's too early to say, but I feel pregnant already... Is it ok to feel that way?
Just like you I had my transfer on 3 Nov (2 day embryo). So far I still my ovaries r a bit sore and have a bubbly like sensnation in my tummy which dissapears when I pass gas (sorry). Ocassionally I feel light contractions on left outer genital area. Are you taking progestarone pessaries, as these mimic preganacy symptoms. God willing our blastocyts will implant soon and we will have beautiful healthy babies 9 months from now
Wishing you all the best & will be praying for you

Hello, Lucienne. Glad to hear that you sound doing well Love to exchang the info with you. Please keep me updated!
I've just had a blood test and found out that my estrogen is very high >11,000, not too much bloated today. Dr has decided to monitor my est level again on Monday.
For my medic, I have taken progesterone (vagial gel), estradiol(oral), aspirin(oral).
Will see how it goes...
Thinking to take a yoga leasson from next week. Just keep my mind occupied by somehing else. What do you think?
Me 40, Hub 43
TTC >7yrs
ICSI 3 times failed, of which 1 mc 8wks
FET 2 times failed
ICSI #6 just completed ET
Hi Leamount, I will definately keep you updated ...Love to share my experience with you too.
Re meds I m taking: clexane (injectable) to thin blood hence for better blood circulation, prednisolone for immunity, bromocryptine due to history of high prolactin (a hormone which acts as a natural contraceptive), Glucophage to decreae sugar level in blood & helps with the growth (I hate this pill with a passion as it makes my stomach upset & is large to swallow), aspirin for better blood circulation, folic acid and utrogetan (progesterone pessaries).
My beta blood test is on Friday....and I can't wait!!!!
I suggest you speak to your doctor before starting yoga. To be honest I would wait a bit before starting anything. My doctor told me that IFV miscarragies are still high. I maybe too protective , but I would suggest you start min 10 weeks after a positive preg test.
Hello, Lucienne
Certainly you are taking lots of meds for good progress
About Yoga, listening to you. Will ask Dr on Monday for further advice. At the moment, I wasn't sleeping well for some reason I thought a moderate level of excercise would help me to get better sleep. But yesterday I went for walk with my hub and that was good. Had a great sleep! Very happy.
Hi Leamount,
Glad you are having a good night sleep. It is very important that you have enough rest. Walking (not brisk walking) should be fine but stop as soon as you feel tired. Your body will tell you when you reached your limit and it is important that you obey immediately. Is it possible that you are having a long afternoon sleep so you find it difficult at night to go to sleep? You can also try having a warm glass of milk before bed time.
I can't stay too long in bed otherwise my side (waist area) & back will start hurting. Thank God I am used to wake up at 6am. But then again I go to bed early (10ish).
I have loads of meds which hope will help achieve a BFP! Sometimes I get small contractions which can be felt as twinches in the outher side genital area. I am afraid of these as this is what I start getting a week or so before my period is due. Besdes I used to spot anywhere between 7 to 3 days before my period since the past 2 years and then get my actual thing. It is SOOOO frustrating having to analyse every single twinge and pain. I look forward to go back to work tomorrow as it will help me to distract!
My blood test is scheduled for Friday 13 November and to be honest I think it's too early to test 10 days after a 2-day transfer. If I am not mistaken yours is one day before, right?....Let me know. I promise to pray for you.
Hi Leamount,
How are you doing? Have you managed to continue sleeping properly? I can't help but waking up an hour or so earlier than I used to. My side/back would start hurting (dull pain) and have to get up of bed.
Have you got any strange(r) symptoms? Mine have someone decreased ..Hope this is not a bad sign. I don't feel that bloated as I used after transfer and twinges/contractions are less frequent. I can move around moe at ease but still feel a little pull of gravity in by tummy area when I stand up for more that 5 mins. I got a lot of pimples from the Progesterone pessaries and my left cheek looks like a pizza (((. God bless the person who invented make-up!
Hi Lucianna, thanks for your message. I thought I had posted a follow-up, but my message somehow disappeared?! Annoying!
My symptom is okay, just trying to be normal even though I was badly suffering from bloating especially yesterday. Today it's not too bad but feel a bit nausea.
On Monday, I had a blood test and scan for linen check. The result in the all numbers seems high: estrogen 11,820, progesterone 348. The linen is 16mm thick. I then need to have a further injection tomorrow. After that, just wait for my D-Day, which is on 18th (my egg retrieval was on 31st and ET was on 2nd Nov).
That's all from me.
Wish you all the best on Friday! I'll be thinking about you;)
