Lisa ... Hang in there - you're half way there already.... make sure you get as much rest as possible.

Hi Katy - welcome to the thread !... we are around the same dates. Your EC is around 27/28 ...... I'm doing a frozen cycle so don't have EC, but expect (hoping !!) my 2ww to start around 3 May.

Hello girls!!!
All done!!!
Did the ET this morning at 10.30...was painless and quick.
The doctor clean the wromb and tranfer the best 2 embryons.
Out of 19, the best ones were 6 and 7 cells, she said it was excellent but the rest of the batch wasn't growing properly, 4.3.2 cells and wasn't worst feezing...so that's that for this cycle.....
Hope my little embryons are still inside, i'm paranoid of going to pee in case they fell out!!!
Testing on the 29/04....
Going to have a rest now...
Keep u posted
Luv
Delly

Delly - Don't worry about the freezer ... you won't need any frosties, as you're going to get a +ve on 29th. Think PMA !! Now go and get lots and lots of rest - it's the best medicine.

Good afternoon to you all.

Delly - nice one. Baby dust, PMA, take it easy and keep posting.

Welcome to the new girls, jump on board and join the mayhem if you can keep up with the pace - I'm struggling at the mo, always so much going on from one login to the next, which is great.

Elle - hope u r ok.

Heather - brilliant news re. embies you must be over the moon.

Debra - how's your day been?

Sandra - agree with you about the drugs. I know we are round about the same stage but can't remember your exact stage - would you mind reminding me

LittleP - hey to you

What are you up to today

A quick update on my manic morning:

Early morning call to my clinic to ask advice re. frequent and slightly nippy weeing. Feel ok otherwise just a weird sensation at the end of a wee (sorry if TMI

). As I was going to maternity to visit my best friend anyway, they said to pop-in. Tested urine and blood present. No back pain or fever but Dr wanted to be on the safe side and give me a short (5 day) course of anitbiotics to prevent something developing and causing problems. Was due to be scanned on Tues but now to go in Mon instead for review. Well I am FREAKING OUT. I am trying to eat healthily and drink lots of water and blow me this happens. Although the Dr assured me that it is safe to take this antibiotic I can't help but think it is bad news. I just want everything to be as good as possible so that I don't look back and think " maybe it would have worked if I hadn't taken those antibiotics". Have cried and cried about it all. Poor DH doesn't know what to do with himself or with me - bless him. He is always very practical and clear thinking and has said to me that it is better taking a short course now than waiting and ending up in a right old mess. He has huge faith in the medical profession and insists that the Dr wouldn't have prescribed if too detrimental. He is always "the glass is half full" whereas I am the complete opposite.

Sorry that all I seem to have done the past few days is moan and groan. I'll need to snap out of this negative frame of mind and get a grip, I'm just annoyed with myself for this happening.

Has anyone any experience or thoughts on the matter?

Thanks for your help,
Luv

Hi
Im glad your ET went well. I think it takes about 2 to 3 days for them to implant I might be wrong though. Rest up.
Thinking many positive thoughts for you

Is this different from you guys who've had IVF?? Folliwng the ET, I will have 5 days of total and complete bedrest - only allowed to get up to restroom and not allowed to even sit completely upright. I'll be paranoid to go to the restroom!!

delly and elle - you are in my thoughts today - good luck!!

sand - excited to hear our dates are close! actually my EC is the 23/24 and ET is 27/28. keep in touch

maci - sending loads of PMAs

I was just told to take it easy for a couple of weeks, I have been signed off work for two weeks, i was told not to do anything strenuos and to just go with how I feel. They just kept saying don't forget i've had an operation, and for the first few days i wasn't allowed to drive or anything like that.

Hello ladies!

Had ET done as well this morning. It went fine...no pain at all! The hard part was getting the 2 hours of bedrest over with and holding the urge to pee. We had all 4 embies transferred!!! My doc said I had a 5, 6, 8 & 9 cell embryo. I hope you guys don't think were crazy for having all of them transferred back. But that's fine, 'coz I think we are! We just want to be parents sooo bad. Ohhhh... hope we made the right decision.

delly · Post by **delly** » Sat Apr 16, 2005 7:37 pm

Hi ElleR
Glad your ET went well..In the Uk they only allow 2 embryons back, so 4 isn't a option for us.
I had 10 minutes rest and was allowed home, just to take it easy for the rest of the week end.
Good luck, with 4 you've got a greatter chance, keep in touch.
Best wishes & babay dusts to you.
Luv
Delly

hello ElleR
So glad to hear about the 4. i don't think we have the option of more than 3, but who knows?? they kept you for 2hrs. before leaving? just trying to get prep'd for my transfer. best wishes to you!!!!! please keep us informed

elleR · Post by **elleR** » Sat Apr 16, 2005 8:06 pm

Delly- I'm glad your ET went well too. I heard that it is strict there in UK. Well, now the waiting begins for us. How come your testing a little later than me? I test on the 27th.

Maci05- What kind of antibiotics are you on? I do hope it is nothing serious. I'm quite sure your doctor wouldn't order anything that would harm you. I'm currently taking tetracycline (antibiotic) right now since I had IVF with ICSI. Was hesitant at first too. Plus I'm on Prednisone as well. Hang in there!

katylark- Hello!!! I was just told to be on bedrest x 48hours only. Afterwards, they recommend no heavy lifting.

Ok, I hope everyone's doin' fine as well! Gotta get some rest now!
