Shell's TTC Diary - *IVF/ICSI* - BFP!!!!

[shellbham]

Hi Kitty

No, they are only allowed to transfer 2. Its to minimise the chance of multiple births. Its helping me to relax a bit knowing that we possibly have another chance with the frosties. I have lived in pyjamas and joggers for the last few days!! I cant imagine getting my jeans on ever again!

Hi Shell. I've just read through your diary & it's brought a tear to my eye. I'm hoping & praying that everything goes well this time & you get your BFP.

Lots of sticky luck,

Becky

Embryo Transfer - 3 Days after EC

ET went well. Much better than last time. Still uncomfortable but not painful enough to cause a hot sweat! I now have a grade 1 7 cell and a grade 2 8 cell back with me. The other 4 were not that good, 2 of them were only 5 cells and out of the other 2 6 cells one of them was very fragmented. We also found out that we were only offered the chance to go to blast last time as a test. They didn't really do it before and were trying it out before they started charging! So we didn't think it was worth it for 1 embryro, which wasn't the best anyway. Now i keep wondering if i've done the wrong thing!

I have spent the whole day on the sofa being waited on by DH. My mom lives right by me so she cooked me a sunday lunch and bought it round so i've had a huge roast lamb lunch!

Test day is 21st Feb - 10am. Very scary.

My answer to you would be no you havent done the wrong thing. Your cell splits are fantastic!

Wow, you've all got me crying now!! I've been feeling emotional all day and when i read all your messages i couldn't help myself. I couldn't believe how many new posts there were when i logged on......i didn't even realise that that many people even read my diary! Anyway, thank you all again, it means so much to me to have everyones support. You are all so lovely!

6 Days After EC

I am still very bloated. I have my friends wedding on saturday and i have no idea what i'm going to wear. I cant get the dress i was planning to wear done up! I can now stand up straight, so i dont have to walk around like i have a bad back anymore.

I had a good cry this morning, over something silly! I went into the kitchen to do my breakast and it was a mess in there. I was so annoyed, i just thought what was the point of DH having time of to help out when he did nothing. The house is such a mess, its like he has just left everything to build up so now i have days of housework to do!! What was the point...he may as well have been at work!! Ok rant over, i felt better after my cry.

I have done nothing but laze around the house. Sleeping and watching tv. So i may try to go out tomorrow as i think the fresh air will do me good. Thats if i can get any of my clothes on.....i'm not going out in joggers!!

10 Days After EC

Wedding went really well. I bought a new dress, so i felt more comfortable. Luckily the weather was great, cold but nice and sunny, it ended up being a lovely day.

I cant believe that testing is nearly here. I know i've said it before but i'm so scared that it hasn't worked again. I keep saying to myself that surely we cant be that unlucky that it wont work for a 2nd time. But we can, there's no guarantees that this will ever work, no matter how many times we try. Sorry for sounding so down. I'm so emotional at the moment, i thinks its because its getting near to the end of this cycle now and the thought of having to start it all over again is just too much at the moment.

I watched the pursuit of happiness last night. OMG i couldn't stop crying. I've been meaning to watch it for ages since i saw the man whose story its based on when he was interviewed on This Morning. I probably should have picked a less emotional time to watch it though!

Kitty, symptoms wise, i dont think i have any. And any i may have are probably just caused by the progesterone. Yesterday while i was at the wedding i really thought AF had started. I had a pain in my lower back just like when it starts but thankfully it hadn't. But then again maybe its trying to but its only the progesterone keeping it away. Anyway i keep telling myself that most people wouldn't even know they were pregnant yet so i shouldn't expect to feel any different.

Please, please let this work.

oooh i forgot to say, yesterday i got the letter to say we have reached the top of the NHS waiting list! I'm hoping this is a sign, a sods law kind of thing......that we finally get our free attempt just as we dont need it. But thats probably just wishful thinking, although it is strange that it arrived a few days before i test!!
