April/May Cycle Buddies!

[Blaqdymun]

Anton: Congrats on "Happy" !!! Sounds adorable!! I can "see" how she lights up your face.

Ester: Resting up ?

NWquiz: How'd it go today!?!?! I hope that all went smoothly with the doctor doing the procedure....and that you are resting today perhaps?

Blaqdmun: A positive is a positive (as long as trigger is out of your system).....congratulations!! Now, that doesn't mean that something can't happen be it m/c, etc. But for the moment, let yourself rejoice in your BFP! We have to celebrate every victory!

I tested over 10 days after trigger, yes it was out of my sys

Moorebaby - Sending you all the sticky vibes i can find. This is your cycle!!!

fruit- I have been in yours and i am so very sorry. i didn't have perfect cycles so at least i knew it was probably my eggs. I know its hard to keep going. have you had another RE's opinion? In my 6 cycles i went through 4 RE's. I hated changing DR.'s but after BFN's and canceled cycles i had to find RE's that had other ideas. I hope you can find some answers.



Good Luck to All!!!

We just received the fertilization report. Out of the 25 eggs they retrieved, 16 of them were mature and 7 were fertilized. They said that was the number they like to see and at this time everything is proceeding forward. They're not sure whether they'll do 3DT or 5DT, but that they'll call tomorrow and let us know. So far so good.

Hi Chris, well all the previous cycles were with the same RE coz he has a good reputation and very high success rates and i trusted him, i also was always afraid to go to another RE bcoz mine is more familiar with my case and history etc.... and i thought that maybe a new one can tell me anything in order to have new patients...
but, now, and after ur advices ladies, i think it is about time to have a fresh look and a new RE opinion, maybe my doc is missing something.... maybe a new Lab. also.... so i took an appointment in a new clinic with a new RE and i'll be going next week to see what he has to say.....

quick update- everything went well and am full of swimmers now chasing after the golden egg. we had 24m count. the doc actually walked in herself and did the procedure. dh got so emotional and shed a tear.

[Wishingandhoping]

[Addy]

Emma - I also transferred two frozen embies yesterday and have my beta on 5/2 as well. This 2ww is insane. I didn't think it was going to be that bad, but I am questioning every move I make. I just need to chill and enjoy being pupo

[Red_Riding_Hood]

Congrats wishingandhoping! Looks like you and I are on the same ET dates, either sunday or tuesday.

[nwquiz]

[emma3timelucky]

cool so I'm not all alone lol..what clinic are you both at? I'm at the hammersmith in London .do you feel like anythings going on inside ?

[DALLAS]

I had my u/s yest and got a great report! Apparently if nothing else is good at least my uterus is fabulous, measuring at a plush and cozy 15! The donor was seen again today and everything is looking great for her as well. Still looking like 10 follicles on each side right now. They will see her back tomorrow and give me the date for the ER, which is looking like maybe Tuesday!

Hello Ladies – Just a quick update since I’m still feeling pain from the ER yesterday. But first…HAPPY EASTER TO ALL!


Nwquiz – Swim baby swim!!!! This is it for you!!


Wishing and Hoping – YAY for the dynamic dozen!!!! Your GOLDEN EGG is sure to be one of them!


Emma - Welcome! The ladies on this board ROCK! You will certainly get all the support and best wishes from these girls!


Dallas – Wow those embabies are never gonna want to leave your nice cushy uterus even after the 9 month bake!


Red Riding Hood – Congrats on a job well your Golden Egg is sure to be in your crop.


AFM –

We had 49 EGGS! 23 mature and all 23 fertilized with ICSI. The breakdown was 18 really nice, 4 slower and 1 that is way behind. On Sunday (Day 3) They will PGD all the embabies that make it. Hoping for a day 5 transfer on Tuesday but since I am having OHSS symptoms we won’t know for sure until Monday. But I know that my baby is in this beautiful embie group and will come home when it’s time. So keeping up my PMA and just believing that all things will happen the way they are supposed to.



SUPER STICKY BABY DUST TO ALL!

Lee...I am eggstatic for you! Great job fertile Myrtle.

Addy- its too early for you too be too crazy yet. Congrats!!!

Blaqdymun- You are preggo lady! Faint or dark, a line is a line is a line. Savor your pregnancy and try not to worry.

RedRidingHood- the hard work is done now. Rest up and get ready.

WishingandHoping- Yay for a PERFECT dozen!

Nwquiz- everything is crossed for you. Good luck!

Fruit- I feel the EXACT same way you do. My RE has the best results in the state and I feel like he and the rest of the team really understand me. I also really like his bedside manner which is rare (I don't think I have ever had a doctor I liked!). The nurses are all awesome too. But if this 4th try and the free natural cycle he is offering don't work, I am moving on to a new RE. Yep...I said it...a new RE...NOT adoption. At least not yet.

Michelle- My last cycle took the wind out of my sails, and as you ladies know I began looking into adoption. I am just now getting to the point where I have enough faith and energy that I would probably consider another fresh cycle if this doesn't work out (but at a new clinic as I told fruit!). Anyway, I read three books on adoption. I recommend "Adoption for Dummies" and especially "Adopting after Infertility." One thing that I learned is that you really need to be ready to move on completely to adoption and come to peace with infertility (to the extent that you can). I think both books are great to read when you are just beginning to think about adoption. I am putting adoption on the backburner for now, but learning about it helped me do that. The other cool thing is that there ARE babies out there to adopt and you won't necessarily wait forever for an infant. It was pretty inspiring.
