IVF chat

Hi Happy,
wishing you the best of luck for your 3rd IVF cycle...does it get any easier along the way or I would think it gets quite consuming, you deserve to have a grumpy day and go with it I say.Fingers crossed for a BFP with this transfer and do you mind if I ask if you are getting good embies, and are you transferring day 3 embies or day 5 blastocycsts?

I've had my 1st IVF cycle which got stopped at the transfer stage because they couldnt get the embies in so they were put on ice. I've had to have a quick operation to fix a couple of things and now booked in for my TER tomorrow. A bit nervous as hoping the little embies survive the thaw and also they can get them in this time.

Hope you are having a good weekend, maybe you need to change your name to grumpy not happy til tomorrow - lol

Hi guys- I'm keen to keep chatting- I start buscilerin on the 14th Nov looking at collection 15th Dec ish- be great.

Happy I hope this is the one for you- when is collection?

Hi everyone,

I've just finished a cycle of IUI which ended up with a BFN. Definitely the hardest 2ww I've ever been through. Now on the pill waiting to try to fit an IVF cycle in before xmas.
I've just spent the weekend visiting friends most of whom are either pregnant now, or have just given birth. And THEN my sister announces she's preg with number 4. Of course I'm happy for her but MAN its hard not to be impatient!!! I think I would go crazy without being able to read about others' experiences. Thanks for starting this specific chat.
I'm sure it will be all our turns soon

Hi everyone
Unfortunately neither of our embies survived the thaw so no transfer yesterday. Me and DH are just so so disappointed.

Its funny but I've been completely fine and optimistic throughout the this whole IVF process but today found myself getting a bit upset about it all.

Happy - I also had a pre cancerous cells removed years ago and had a recent operation to dilate my cervix so mock transfers for me also.

Good luck Hope1, chiqa and Nickypicky with your treatment.

Chiqa - I also have high FSH and was put on the highest med doses and responded really well to them. If you have any questions or concernss, let me know I'd be happy to share what I know.

take care everyone

Thanks Tanners
I'm so sorry about your embies. It is heartbreaking.
Take care

So sorry to hear your news Tanners. Whats the next step? Have they said?

Hi girls
I had my scan this morning and looks like I have 11 follies so that is pretty normal for me so so far looking like egg collection on Sunday....yippy getting to the serious part now!!

It's a beautiful day here in AKL wish we had more day's like this!!

Tanners that gov funded cycle will come round so fast!

Hi to all you other lovely ladies

Happy - good luck with EC on Sunday - keep us posted!

Hope1 - I've had to do the same in a restaurant toilet! I prepared my injection before I left home and put it in a small tupperware container cellotaped to the sides so it didn't move. I then put the container in a plastic bag with an icepack so all I had to do was pull it out and stick it in! Ahhhh the things we do!

Sorry to hear you are feeling a bit low today, it happens to us all and can come out of the blue. Keep positive as it sounds you have loads to be excited about with this treatment could come the BFP you are hoping for and it will be comforting to know that you have a funded cycle as a backup just over the horizon. As for DH - there is so much they can do now - it sounds faaaaarrrrr from over for you.

hmmmm shame you cant pour yourself a nice glass of wine, maybe you should do some retail therapy this weekend to cheer you up!

Hi girls
I got it wrong I thought Id trigger tonight but now looking like tomorrow night .... can't wait for that part to be over and done with!!

Hastie looks like we will be very close in the tww

Hi Tanners and Hope

Hi guys, I'm lurking in here too - hope you don't mind either! It's just nice to keep in touch with those going through IVF, I don't want to 'lose' my contacts with the forum as it's been able to help keep me sane since May!!!

Good luck to those of you underway with IVF - it's an exciting/nervous time and very emotional!

I'm like you scaredycat - we're going to put off our last transfer until next year - maybe even Feb/Mar. I want to get into good health, and we're going to the natural fertility clinic to do everything we can to optimise our health and fertility before we do the transfer. They like 3-4 months I think, hence the timing of transfer.

We go back to the specialist on the 25th so want to hassle him to see where we sit on the public wait list. Hopefully we will get in next year (if transfer doesn't work) as he was going to put us through as an exception.

Tanners and Happy, I also have had precancerous cells removed - a cone biopsy in 2001 and then a lletz loop biopsy again in 2006. In my last transfer they had to inject the cervix to dilate it and then use something to keep it open - hmm, not the nicest. Just wonder if all the surgery has an effect on the 'stickability' of the embryo??

Take care guys and lots of positive thoughts being sent to you all having transfers
