Hi

ET went ok. They transfered 2 Grade 1 embies this morning.
I have just been resting this afternoon. I ache and feel a bit beaten up, but am feeling quite positive.

We also have one other Grade 1 embie going off to become a frostie

So I am now officially on 2WW. Test date is 7th September.

Chitra - how are you ?

Clair - Good luck for tomorrow I will be thinking of you

Best wishes to you all

[Sand]

Well done Ange. You're the first of the Sep Testers !!

Ange - Nice to know your ET went well. Hope the 2 embies snuggle up and stick there!!!

Clair - Good luck for tomorrow.

As for me they transferred 2 8 cell and 1 7 cell embies today. The transfer itself took a long time. My RE said my cervix was in a funny angle today!!!

My RE says he will freeze the other two embies(1 6 cell and 1 4 cell) only if they make it to blastocyst stage!!! He also said the chances are low. So I am really sad and hoping they make it.

I have a question, Can you actually see the embies on the monitor after they have been transferred? I think it is dumb question but Iwas kind a hoping I can but did not

Oh no, my heart just sank when I read sharon’s post abt the reflexology. I was uneasy about doing it in the first place.. but I had to go review this new place that just opened up… thankfully it was just a one off. I’m just praying my embies don’t get flushed.

I’ve been getting some af like twinges and I keep running to the loo to check my knickers. My colleague that sits next to me asked if I was preggers coz I kept going to the loo. I am getting so so nervous now. Someone should market PMA vitamins… I sure could use a bottle (or 10). Such a relief you guys are here. Thanks!

Gail, how did yr appt with yr RE go today? Have yr ovaries shrunk? Did he say when u can transfer? Hoping for some good news for u.

Chitra and ange.. congrats on transferring yr embies. Hope your both resting up lots. Take care.

Clair... good luck on your ET today!!

Hello and lots of PMA to everyone else.. I’m off to work now. See ya later.

Chitra - Glad ET well well. When's your test date ? We saw the embies on a screen at ET, being inserted. They were more like white forms (or white lights) though, rather than a definite, solid particle. (That sounds all twilight zone stuff doesn't it - I know what I mean, lol !).

Get plenty of rest !

Morning Ladies

We did not get the opportunity to see the embies going back inl.

I thought I would be going back to work today.

I was wrong!

When I got up this morning to shower I nearly passed out. So I went back to bed (and frightened the life out of DH!)
When I got up again at 9 I was much better.
I am just going to listen to what my body is telling me and give into it more!!
Dh decided that he would have to stay at home to look after me as he was so worried. Bless him

Going to put my feet up again now

Best wishes to everyone.

Ange,
Hope you are feeling better now... Sounds like you have a wonderful dh!Cuddle up to him and enjoy!!
Anyway, abt 3 days rest after et is advised!
Quasi,
I dont think one-off reflexology massages will harm you.. relax!Sending you lots of positive thoughts and vibes!
Chitra, I didnt see the embies after the transfer either.
Clair and Michelle, Hope your transfers went well..Put your feet up for a couple of days or more if possible!
Sharon,
not long to go! keep up the PMA!
Rest of you August buddies, hope you are all doing fine..
cheers,
smita

I saw my clinic today and my ovaries are slowly shrinking, still got some fluid floating around inside but it should work its way out soon hopefully. The clinic have said that i probably wont be able to have FET for 3 months, December seems to be a long way off ! I will be looking forward to christmas more than ever this year

Hope your day at work wasnt too bad Quasi and your coping ok. Hope everyone else is full of PMA.

It'll be Christmas before you know it and then you'll get the best present of your life - what a way to bring in the New Year

Good luck with everything and loads of hugs and Baby Dust to you and DH.

Hi all

It's official on 2WW. Two embies transferred both grade 2 8 cell. Embryologists said they were beauties. Consultant has said we have a good chance! We never dreamed that we would get this far!!! Test date 8th Sept two days before my birthday.

Ange and chitra glad things went well with ET. Get plenty of rest.

Gail- It won't belong before it's christmas. Next are already selling christmas cards in Birmingham.

Hi to everyone else.

bye for now

Oh Quasi,

Sorry - I didn't mean to cause panic about the reflexology, I had a panic when I opened the garage door the other day as it was very exerting so I know the worry of checking and re-checking.

Today has been a constant "looking for signs" day, which like you say does cause some interest at work!?

I never saw my embies either - although the booklet said we would at both EC and ET. But I think the booklet is a bit out of date as the supression stage seems a lot longer in the notes than real life.

2WW is the longest 2 weeks ever though!

One more sleep - if I get any!? Going for a lie down and some chocolate

All the best to all of you, Gail glad to hear you are on the mend, our Xmas party is fully planned at work so we can't be far off

Luv
Sharon
