[quote="mom4sure"]Hi Guys

Back from ER and am not too good. Although we had lots of follicles. We only got 2 eggs :cry: . I am so sad, and dont know how that can happen. I suspect i ovulated before my ER but my RE says it happens sometimes. I am trying hard NOT to dwell on what went wrong coz its done now.

Now i am waiting for tomorrow to hear if they fertilised and if they do, then we are going for a 3dt.

Its in God's hands now and i am praying for good news. I probably wont get any sleep today.

Please pray for me.

Mom4Sure,
I'm praying right now and believe with all my heart that God will hear us... Sunshine1576

Just got the fertilization report. Out of the 4 eggs 3 were mature enough to do icsi and as of today 2 are on track and the other hasn't done anything yet. Doctor said that they haven't ruled out the third, sometimes with icsi it takes a little longer. Praying my three little embies grow.

Mom4sure- I'm so sorry to hear your news, but you still have 2 great eggs! I'll be praying for you and the embies.

Good Morning everybody ~~

CT_Michele-- Sending you major prayers and comfort for your ER. I know how hard those can be when your ovaries are hiding. Drink lots of fluids and ask for some Vicoden, that's what I did! LOL Image

nicksgam- Yeah for the 2 embies that have made it so far, praying the 3rd one catches up! Are you doing a 3 or 5 day transfer? Image

mom4sure-- Listen, it only takes 1 egg we all know that :mrgreen: I was told that it's always quality over quantity. Look at me for example. Out of 17 of my eggs only 4 were good, and I had none for the freezer. :cry: My RE told me something that I think is great advice. You don't come to an RE to produce a ton of eggs to just throw them in the freezer, you come to get your baby. I know it's disappointing to go through so much and only have a few eggs but you have TWO GORGEOUS EGGS and that is something to celebrate!! Image Continue to think positive and remember it's all out of our control. Your will be okay honey, I know it!

Fruit- Have you ever thought about doing PGD? After two failed IVF cycles that is what I decided to do. My Embryologist said that had she picked the top quality looking embryos this time she would have picked two gorgeous genetically bad embryos to transfer. The PDG report showed that the lower quality embies were actually perfect! Had I not had the PGD report done I would have had 11 frozen tots that were all chromosomally abnormal. It's an expensive procedure but it gives you valuable information and can save you a lot of money on failed cycles. Now, I am PUPO with these perfect embies but no guarentee they will stick.. it's all a roll of the dice. I hope you get your BFP this cycle, keep up your PMA!!!

easley4--- There is NO WAY I am going to POAS LOL... I am a recovering POAS addict, but this cycle I just have no desire to do it.Image After I got a BFP on my FET that turned chemical I just lost all addiction for those damn sticks. WIth that said I am really hoping that there are some POAS diva's on this board because I get such a thrill off those sticks!! Image

AFM-- Nothing much going on. I sleep like crap last night. Everytime I have a transfer I am scared to move around when I sleep, I try to stay as still as possible and so I end up awake most of the night. Had bad cramps yesterday today my uterus feels quiet. I am watching everything and trying to determine if it's a symptom or not which I just need to stop doing. 7 more days until Beta, feels like an eternity. Anybody else terrified to get that phone call on Beta day? I am so scared because we have no frosties to transfer so I will have to go directly to another fresh cycle... so not happy about that. *tears*

SO WHO ON HERE IS A POAS ADDICT!!!!!! I need some action with the sticks because I am so not doing it this time around LOL...

Have a great day!

JenMink55 - i asked my RE about doing PGD but he said that since the karyotyping was normal, probably the PGD will be normal and it is not recommended in my case....so i dont know....
i can't think of anything anymore, im very exhausted, im out of energy and of everything.
though, i noticed that ur beta is one day before mine, so i will be praying to all of us who has beta next week to have our BFP :)

Back from ER...not so happy. They couldn't get to my bad side at all, so all those follies and eggs will just ovulate out. They aspirated everything on the good side, and ended up with 5 eggs. RE says he is very happy with that because when they started the ER the first 5 follies or so had nothing in them, just cysty. He thought they were going to get nothing. I am not so thrilled with 5. We have always started with higher numbers. On a brighter note, while the sperm is not fantastic (it never will be) they were happy with what they saw and are confident they will have enough decent ones to icsi all the eggs.

Just have to wait for the fert report tomorrow. Praying that 4 or 5 fertilise. Will be devastated if we end up with none or one. Transfer will be friday or saturday depending on number and quality.

I am off to lay down. I will check back later.

Mom4sure- so sorry to hear you didn't have great news either. I am praying for both of us that our fert reports are good tomorrow. I just can't imagine going through all of this to not even have a transfer, that would suck big time.

Hi, Ladies,

I have been stalking the thread because I'm not really sure what I could add. I see lots of veterans on here who answer the questions just as informative as the doctor's office would. I am so confused about this whole process. :oops: I am still on the Lupron but they have finally added the Follistim 100 every morning & night & Menopur @ night only so I went in for b/w & u/s and was told my estradoil level was low and to increase my follistim to 150 so I'm wondering is there something naturally that I could be doing to help it. I asked the nurse @ the doctor's office and she said that's all we can do for now. What??!!!??? I'm not a emotional person but this is bringing tears to my eyes everytime I think about it because I so want this to work.

Wishing lots of BABY DUST & STICKY VIBES to all..... :cry:

JenMink55~ Okay, I am a HUGE POAS addict and normally have a large supply on hand but this time I hadn't purchased any. With my past 3 BFP I was able to get a very faint positive 11 days bebfore my peroid was due. So I started counting the days and realized my peroid is due in 9 days, so of course off I ran to the store to buy some tests. I POAS as soon as I got home and guess what?!?!
I got a very faint BFP!!!!! The 2nd light is faint but very much there!:lol: :lol: :lol: :lol: Trying not to get TO excited because it's so early but I have never gotten a false BFP before so I am praying it's right!!! This of course will begin my daily POAS craziness!!! Praying we ALL get our BFP with this cycle! :mrgreen: :mrgreen: :mrgreen: :mrgreen: :mrgreen:
