My clinic didnt tell me anything. I have been doing ALOT of reading. IVF forums, you name it - I've read it. And like you, if I get alot of follies full of eggs, and they find 2 extremely high grade ones... oh, I dont know!!!! I really dont mind having twins - but triplets.... I've only got 2 tits!!! Its a real wait a see game. But, I think you have to prepare for every scenario. If they go day 3 I will do 3 embryos. I really want to have enough to freeze - just incase.

Transfer Today???

Post by TrueBeliever »

Good Morning ladies, I am sooo sorry for the late reply. So many things have been going on. I did have my ER, Saturday August 2. Out of 13 follicles, only 6 eggs were retrieved. I was so disappointed, and of course everyone kept telling me it only takes ONE... So, Sunday when I got the call, 5 were mature and all 5 fertilized. That did make me feel much better. I am scheduled for my reansfer today at 10 so I am excited. Depending on how my embies are doing, they may call this morning and extend it to Thursday. With the low number, I doubt that happens. My Beta is Scheduled for the 18th, WOW this is happening so fast. Good Luck to everyone.... :D

It is 5:00 in the morning and I am up for no good reason. I think all of this stuff fills my mind and when I wake I can't seem to go back to sleep. So it's either lay there or get up.

Truebeliever- So nice to hear about your fert report. That is great! :) How many are they planning to transfer? Do they tell you the grade when you get the fert report? I am so so curious about my fert report...probably why I can't sleep! Well let us know how your transfer goes or if they extend it. Your almost at your 2ww!

Rosario- Wednesday will get here fast! Wishing you the best at retrieval, I hope you get 14 out of 14. There was a post from someone where there were multiple eggs in a follie. What a bonus. LOL

I will update you later today on my fert report. Keep your fingers crossed.

Take care,
Elizabeth

Hi everyone, I just got my fert report and they were able to perform ICSI on 11 of the 13, because two were abnormal, and all but 1 fertilized. So I have a total at 10 embies hanging out in their first home, a petrie dish. I really want a picture! They are looking at a 5DT, but will update me on Thurs just incase there are changes to 3DT. Gosh so much can happen in a few days. Hang in there little embies. Someone else named theirs, so I am thinking of clever naming convention my our little ones. :)

Hope everyone is doing well. :)

Elizabeth - that's a wonderful fert rate!!! And exciting that they may do a 5DT as well. I'll be watching!

ndgo82 - I don't mean to burst your bubble but I think that 2 days post transfer, a POAS line could be residual from your trigger shot and not a legitimate BFP. I'd test again in 5 days or so.

I don't want to get excited but I have been super tired. That was my strongest symptom on my last BFP.

Update....

Post by TrueBeliever »

Good Afternoon Ladies. Well I did receieve the call this morning, I was told my 5 embies all looked great and they chose to extend culture till Thursday. That was such exciting news, never expected that with such a low number of embies. I did not receive data on what grade they are, just them telling me they look great was enough for me :D I look forward to 11:15 Thursday, August 7th for my 5 DT and for this 2WW. I am praying and have fingers crossed for everyone. I actually like the 5 DT, only have to wait 11 days for Beta test....LOL

How exciting Truebeliever! It sounds like your 5 embies are going strong. :) You will very soon be on your 2ww. I can't wait to join you. My transfer is scheduled for Sat., but I still need to wait for the call on Thurs. I will be thinking of you when you go in for transfer. Then I will be thinking stick embies stick! How many are you planning to transfer?

Hello to you all. Im pretty shattered after doing an 8hr round trip for u/s and learning right ovary is useless - only 1 follie! But the left is working hard, it has 10. Half of me is disappointed with result, the other half thinks its not bad for my age... dont know... I really want a couple of good ones to plant, 3 really, and a few to freeze. I'm not sure that many follies will do that for me.
Thankyou ladies for your support.
I am also posting on the Aug/Sept Buddies thread. Are you all watching that too?? I am wondering should I only be posting on one thread????? And if so - which one?????

Oh Biddy, I am sorry to hear about your right ovary. Good thing your left is trucking right along. That is a real good number of follies for one ovary. I know a higher number always seem to sound better, but I have also heard that too high seems to reduce the grade. I am not sure how accurate that is, but I figure numbers from 5 -13 are really good. So hang in there.

As for the thread, well I read most of the them, and I post to July 22 and to this one. I considered jumping on the Aug buddies thread, but I haven't because I felt like I would be rewriting the same stuff over and over. Many of the same names appear in multiple threads, and there is a lot of different stuff happening in each. I respond to the two I mentioned and once in awhile to threads with specific questions. Its all good. :)

Well I am wishing you the best, just don't worry...all you need is a couple of good ones to transfer and a few to freeze...you will get it!

Thanks...

Post by TrueBeliever »

Thanks soo much for the encouragement. We plan to transfer 2 blast tomorrow. That is the max my RE will do with me being under 30. I am EXCITED and hoping that they stick as well. Our insurance only helps cover 1 IVF cycle, and since we had such low number of eggs there may not be any to freeze so this may be our only hope.. Everyone please say a prayer for me.... I will drop a line over the weekend to see how everyone is doing and to give an update..

Babdy dust to all....

ndgo82- How is the 2WW going? I have my fingers and toes crossed that those embies stick!

Rosario
- Today is your big day. :) So exciting. When you are up to it we would love to here how it went. Rest up and take care.

Sha1- Hi there, your ER is coming up. :) How are you feeling? I got so excited a few days before mine. Hoping that Sunday gets here fast. It is Sunday right? I will be 41 next month so our birthdays are pretty close as well. Thinking of you.

alimoyni- The day has arrived! I hope you transfer goes well today! :)
When you are up to it let us know how it went. Stay rested.

Kerpupples- Your beta is coming up. How is your wait going? It sounded like you had a fun filled week so far. Hope you are enjoying camping. Thinking of you and excited to hear your beta results. Are you going to wait till Monday or are you going to POAS? Take care.

Biddy- You are just around the corner. Your ER scheduled for Monday right? I know you are dissappointed about your right ovary, but I think your numbers for your left are excellent. :) Take care.

Truebeliever- All you need is two good ones :) - Does your clinic advise for bedrest? What is your beta date? I can't wait to be in the 2ww with you, and when we can get out BFP results. Take care we are all thinking of you.

As for me no changes. I will get news tomorrow early to how my embies are doing. We are still on for a 5dt on Saturday. I started the pio capsules today and I am laying down right now so I can get full absorbtion. I expect this to be a bit messy. Still I rather this than another shot. I hear the shots are brutal. What are all of you planning to use or using shots or supps?

Wishing everyong well.

Rosario- We must have been posting at the same time. Yea! You should be pleased. :) Lets hope that all eight fertilize! That is sure a lot of follies. How are your ovaries feeling? Do you know yet the plan for transfer 3 or 5dt?
