Ladies doing IVF or IUI - 2015 (9 BFPs!)

[phonixgirl]

A lady at work has had IVF 8 - yes, EIGHT - times, none of which worked.

I will be bowing down to her from now on! X

 

[MelC2011]

Wow, 8 times!!! That's incredible.

Make sure you rest. I literally had Hubby doing everything for the 3 days after ec. I must admit he was pretty fab.

Phonixgirl, sounds like you had a horrible time! Sorry about that . I actually did not have a horrible expierience at all with my EC and dont mind being but to sleep. I like it . I do however feel horrible now with ohss so again IVF related.

6 fertilized is good. I had 10 fertilized and managed to get 1 blasto to transfer and 4 to freeze ( 50% reached blasto ) and i am much older than you so i think your chances of reaching blastocyst stage are great! Keeping my fingers crossed!

Good luck for tomorrow Mel!!

My DH's work has told him to take as long off as he needs... but he has spent most of today in bed! My little kitty cat is sat on my lap looking after me though.

My acupuncturist did say that if I got 5 or more then it would go to blasto. My stims were a very low dose so if I needed to do it again, I'd probably ask if they could up it a bit.

8 times is immense, I won't do it again now.
I'm sure you will get some blastos Phoenixgirl.
Do you have a gut feeling either way Mel? I have a good feeling about it!

 

[MelC2011]

Oh Maria are you still suffering with the ohss?
What's your due date?

I hope you've been resting all day Phonixgirl?
I took a good few days to feel normal enough to walk - sounds silly but my stomach was so sore.

I'm trying to think positive. I've had no spotting so really hoping it's good news.
I really want to test tonight when I get home from work so watch this space.

When's your next appointment Blueflower? Are there any next steps for you now?

I also have a good feeling about you Mel. Let's hope we are right - I am sure we are. xxx

 

[tinselcat]

Maria - sorry to hear you're suffering OHSS. I developed that after my last round of IVF and it was excruciatingly painful for several days.

Phonixgirl - that's a good number. I think I only got 5 eggs collected on my 3rd round of IVF but we got a BFP out of it, plus the nurses in the ward said that I was the patient with most eggs collected that day too, so I think it's quite normal to have a much lower number.

Mel - good luck! xx

Blueflower - I'm absolutely devastated for you. There's no words I can say that will help, but I want you to know that I'm thinking of you and wish that I could give you the world's biggest hug.

Although I have left my OH (due to domestic violence) so no longer TTC I do regularly think of all the ladies in the LTTTC forum and send you all the best of best wishes. xx

 

[Blueflower]

We have an appointment in a couple of weeks, he wanted to see us sooner but I couldn't face it. Not sure what's next, I wonder if he will tell us what was wrong with the embryos. Still on the egg donor list at my local clinic so maybe that will be next?

Thanks Tinselcat, I still feel numb and when I see babies or pregnant women on the tv a voice says "that's not for you." So sorry to hear about the DV, that's terrible, are you ok? Have you got your own place now and nice people around you?

 

[phonixgirl]

Tinselcat, you are such a strong woman for doing that. If you haven't already, you will meet the right one in time - someone who treats you with respect. X

 

[phonixgirl]

Also, it's good to hear stories from other women who have had eggs collected in single numbers. On the Internet, people were saying they had 30 odd! But it's quality, not quantity xxx

 

[Laura07]

Good luck Phonixgirl sorry it's been so rubbish but that only means things have to get better!!

I don't know how ladies can hold off testing it must really test your patience I'm not sure I'm that strong willed!!

Had our clinic appointment for embryoscope monitoring today now just waiting till the next cycle to get going with my reckoning it will be about 28th December so going to enjoy the Christmas period and start a fresh with the new year xxxx

 

[phonixgirl]

[MelC2011]

Perfect time to start Laura

Good luck xx
