I will send all the possible positive vibes for your transfer!
Best of luck!
I've had a couple ask, so I thought I share the results of the first half of my IVF cycle. I'm half way through, I'm now starting the second half with my embryo transfer scheduled for the end of June. The results of my retrieval: 18 eggs retrieved of which 18 were mature, 17 fertilized normally, 11 made it to day 3, and 6 to day 5/6. Just so you know, they expect about 20-40% to be viable from what was retrieved. A lot of changes occurs between day 3-6. That's when you really start to lose embryos. All 6 were biopsied (for PGS testing) and froze.
The PGS results came back today, 3 embryos came back normal and viable. I asked for their opinion on how they felt I did; they indicated this is great news especially given my age (40). They are pleased with the results. I was told I have a very good chance of becoming pregnant with quality of these embryos. Btw, their gender's are: 1 boy and 2 girls!
So far, pleased with the results. Can't wait for June.
In other news my wife and I's latest round of IUI with 4991 (after surgery to remove a large cyst in March) is a tentative positive after two weeks with a 187 hCG. So fingers crossed that it sticks.
Congrats to you!! Please send you info to get added and meet the 4991 crew
MUCH LUCK to you on this transfer!
And congrats to TechSavvy too!
Sheannca, all the very best for the June transfer, will be sending you positive vibes.
Recovering from a surgery now, hope to be able to start the IVF process soon.
Best
Kickback, relax, and good luck! I'm hoping beyond hope for you
Yes I am excited!! Lay back, kick it, and enjoy the ride!
I'm relaxing as much as possible. Looking forward to testing. How is everything with you. Have you learned whether you're carrying one or two?
Keeping my fingers crossed for you! When is your beta?
I had blood test today but simply to test my estrogen and progesterone levels which, were really good. My blood test to check for pregnancy is next Friday. So far, I'm a day late. They say, you feel like your period is coming but it never comes. Well, my body is pretty regular. I also monitor with an app. Well, those feelings came (when scheduled) and now they've went away. I've never had that feeling go away so quickly. The nurse I saw today, was very confident that it wouldn't come. This doctor's success rate is over 80%. MY fertility clinic is very meticulous and are extremely picky about results and will adjust meds accordingly. If all goes well, I'll be with them until my 10th week.
Going with a fertility clinic, best decision I made.
The injections are twice daily and three times on Thursdays and Sundays. The needle is the size of the needle used for the trigger shot. I get it in the back side. I'm so bruise and it draws blood every time. At first it didn't hurt, now, very much so. I would take it through the 10th week of pregnancy. Extra protection and care for the baby. Are you doing something similar?
