Closed - old IVF thread

[Pennie]

Hay Everyone,

Im sorry i haven't been on in a while. So very busy juggling IVF and Starting a business.

Anyway, I had egg retrieval yesterday..what a very strange experience! I was awake for the whole thing but can remember only 2 minutes of it. OH said we were in there for an hour. (must of been on a happy cloud..lol)

Anyway, Im feeling a little bloated and quite uncomfortable in my abdomen.
Has anyone else felt this? Im scared of OHSS

Hiya Pennie What business is it?

The risk of OHSS will depend on how many eggs they got - how did you do?

Feeling bloated and uncomfortable is completely normal though - you've just been stabbed with a very large needle several times

When will you be finding out about fertilisation? Good luck!

 

[Pennie]

Well i had 13 lovely eggs retrieved and 8 fertilised. had the call this morning, may be having transfer tomorrow but they make take them to blast.

Im setting up a internet based business, I have developed my own range of clip in hair extensions but I am also going to sell false nails, eye lashes ect.

how are you getting on Lou?

xx

 

[LouiseB]

That's fantastic Pennie!

Not a OHSS amount of eggs either

I'm doing good thanks, just keeping everything crossed for my seven babies I'm just a couple of days ahead of you so day 3, just waiting it out until day 5 and praying for a couple of decent ones waiting for us

How are you holding up? How is your abdomen feeling?

 

[Pennie]

Im feeling...Excited/tense/crapping it.
Abdomen feels tight and a little painful, mainly bloated.

Thanx for that info on OHSS. I tend to panic lol

Whats your thoughts on going to blast? ive heard very mixed view.

This is my first cycle so I am fairly green to this.

I think it's very important to go to blast, even if you do need pretty stunning ones for a decent pregnancy rate

I've been doing a lot of reading and although they can estimate with high probability which should make it to blast, it isn't definate and the paternal influence only really kicks in after day 3 so who knows which are going to turn bad.

I just think its better to go into the 2ww with a higher chance of success and risk not getting a 2ww at all, rather than go into a 2ww with much less chance of success and risk putting the best ones into the freezer.

The decent argument really is putting the embryo where it should be rath than in the lab but that's not really accurate because a 2/3day embryo wouldn't be in the uterus, it would be in the fallopian tubes which is a much more safe environment.

Well, that's my opinion anyway lol

 

[Jennymarie]

Lou - Yes good plan on leaving it, no news till friday is great then.... Hoping for a speedy few days for you X

Jenny Marie, Iv'e been wondering how you were getting along, good timing for a holiday so your fresh and ready to go, great news that you have DR'd well and hope your finding the stimming ok, time will fly by now and hopefully you have been able to reduce the DR stuff inections so you should start feeling less symptom lke.

So for this IVF/IUI thread - BFP's 3,4, 5 and 6 should be Lou, LauraT, skeando and Yourself ! yayyyyyy

This would be great!! We need to fit Pennie into that as well, just after Lou by the sound of it

I felt exactly the same after Egg collection, was really quite uncomfortable for a few days. Infact I think it took about 4 days till I was feel ok again

Nice list JJ, now lets keep everything crossed that you're right. I should be expecting my IUI positive around the end of November

Good news Pennie! Hope you feeling well.

Did any of you who went on Gonal F experience bloating? I've only had 3 doses but felt so bloated today, my jeans were really tight

I was on Gonal F, don't know how I escaped the bloating but I did. Though I could feel how full my ovaries were getting espcially my right and it was becoming quite sore to even touch.

 

[ScotchEgg]

I bloated on gonal f really badly

Will you all come visit? It's going to be lonely with just me and tinks next year!
