The New IVF/IUI Thread - 5BFPs!

Aww Gemma *big hugs* :hugs:

People just don't realise what they're saying do they, and as for timing, well that couldn't have been worse :(

Not anywhere near yours on the emotional Richter scale but the day before yesterday I was out with some friends when one guy announced they were expecting in October, and then the conversation immediately turned to what everyone thought of babies and how they were the best thing ever (these were all blokes, too!) and someone started grilling me on whether me & my husband wanted babies and when we were planning to have them. The day before my IVF op! (not that they knew obviously but talk about timing/unwanted conversation)

And Gemma - yep I went under general anaesthetic & was given intravenous painkiller as well as a suppository one too (which I initially didn't take as the leaflet with it said "this medicine can stop you getting pregnant"!) I'm glad I didn't get valium!!

Fortunately the pain is almost nothing today but I still need to be careful about how I sit down I think!

TMI warning: I was warned about 'spotting' but there's quite a bit of brown staining every time I go to the loo at the moment, anyone know if this is ok?
 
Good news, of the 7 that were collected, 6 were suitable for implantation, and of those 6, 5 fertilised overnight.

I am provisionally scheduled for a 2DT on sunday lunchtime, tho they may postpone that to tuesday (day 5) depending on how things grow i guess.
 
That's an incredible fertilization rate, congratulations!
 
Wow Tinsel that's fab. So exciting......you have embryos! Take it easy.....your foof has been through a lot!

I'm no quite so confident today. Had a props AF type dull tummy ache, and a few boggles/ twinges near my left ovary area (I don't normally get that) I have no change in CM colour or consistencey tho.

Part of me thinks its AF because of the tummy ache, part of me thinks we've done it because I felt a twinge and I normally spot or get browny cm before I get AF tummy ache. Haven't had any cramping either.

Frigging hate the 2ww xxx
 
Fingers crossed Chaz, rooting for you an tinsel, by law of averages someone has to get a bfp soon. Lou is our inspiration tho girls, shows that you shouldn't give up. I'm still feeling awful, can't sleep properly, majorly broke down yesterday morning. Need to just get Tue out of the way, find out what the next step is then go from there I guess x
 
Told this morning that all our 5 embryos ar grade 1 or 2. This is on a scale of 1 to 4 where 1 is the worst.

1 embryo has developed at the right pace so they'll be putting that inside me today.

Already feel like we've failed - doesn't sound like they're going to get any for freezing. :-(
 
I'm sorry tinsel :( I don't know much about ivf but I'm sure theres plenty of bfp out there with that grade. It only takes the one so try to stay positive. Surely if there was no chance they wouldn't put it back? X
 
Tinsel don't give up hope, my friend had exactly the same and only had 1 egg put back, she had a healthy baby boy from that egg and he's now 8! Xx
 
Thanks for your encouragement Tinks & LD.

I had 2 embryos put in and given a preg test for 25th May.

I'll probably be awol for a bit now as I want to take my mind off things xx
 
That's fab news you've had 2 put in. Good luck we are all rooting for you x
 
Ah Tinsel sorry to hear that, but you know theres always a chance. Keep positive, did they say why they wre not a good grade? x
 
I think it was due to fragmentation when the cells were dividing.

And I read through the notes I was given & my clinic's policy is that if you have two good embryos, to get them to day 5 blastocysts & then implant them, so I can see why you were unhappy about the earlier transfer. :hug:

Tinsel well done for getting to the 2ww, two embies back is great, wishing you luck that they will be growing and dividing nicely for you as we speak, i went onto blasto with 6 and only one made it to full blasto and that was a day too late for my 5dt!! So best place is back in you, its a far more natural environment, and lou just got her bfp from 2 or 3 dt!!

Good luck tinkerbell, i shall be stalking your progress x
 
WAHOOO
Good news, well firstly the bad news this go obviously was a BFN, which I knew anyway
Good news!! 3 GOOD QUALITY BLASTS ON ICE! I am absolutely over the moon I cant believe it, and they are classing the FET as try 1 still!!
The RE was happy with everything and said not to worry this 1 didnt work because 'its just one of them things' but everything is so positive. Im to go back up on the 12th July and they will see where I am in my cycle and arrange the FET round that, so looking mid to end of July for the next go which is really good timing xxx
 
Oh yeah and Im having the 2 blasts up at once, they dont seem to bother much over here with stuff like that, so having the 2 up, if they dont take then will have a FET with the remaining blast, hopefully they will survive the thaw xx
 
Sorry about your bad news gem but it's great news about the blasts on ice! Fx for the second go x
 
yep so happy that we have another few bonus goes! How is everyone else doing? We are gonna geta bfp soon i can feel it..... x
