The Follow Up

Ok, so I arrived papers in hand, with one or two pet theories on my IVF failure.
Theory no. 1 – I have some immunological problem preventing me from falling pregnant.
Theory no. 2 – We’re doing something wrong with the protocol.
Theory no.3 – Bad luck, let’s try again.
My mind was stuck on the above, maybe because [...]

Why be so damn negative all the time!? *Warning – Sour relationship mentioned*

I’ve been talking to my HPT this morning, as one does after developing such an intense long term relationship.  The Relationship is just not quite working for me anymore, I need some space. I mean, come on!  Month, after month, after month and all I get is negativity!  Nothing I say or do is ever [...]

PCOS – Are all my eggs bad?

Ok, so this question was really bugging me, and as per usual I pop the All Knowing Ken – Dr.V a neurotic email. Dr.V, tell me and tell me straight – are all my eggs bad?
My current IVF produced 12 eggs, of these 12 – 5 fertilised, and 4 reached the 8cell stage, only [...]

HPT Stock-Up

Ok, so I did the dreaded trip to Dischem. For the record, I’m never buying HPT’s from Dischem ever again! Apparently they think we TTC’ers are a bunch of of deprived souls desperate enough risk criminal prosecution to find out if we are pregnant – perhaps not THAT far fetched…but nevertheless…it is a [...]

Post ET Update

Ok, so I don’t say this very often, but Sam, you were right! There you have it, you were right!
The 2ww really is not a walk in the park, and all of my mental strategies thus far have failed to morph the emotional anguish into something remotely bearable. Strategies employed thus far:
The “Technically, [...]

CD 20 – 3 Embies going Strong…

Ok, so I got my embryology update this morning.
3 of the 4 are still going strong, doing what embies should be doing on day 4 post fertilisation.  Unfortunately one started to regress.
So tomorrow, best 2 out of 3 will be transferred.
Needless to say, we won’t have any to freeze since we’re already past day 3.
Only [...]

CD 19 – 2 More Days in Vitalab Hotel

So, we had 4 viable embies (8celled) of which 2 were textbook and 2 semi-textbook.
Dr.V recons we should give it 2 more days and let the boys seperate from the men.
So it’s two more days of fretting…until our day 5 blastocycst transfer.
So far, so good.

Fertilisation Report

Brief Update.
From our 12 eggies, 5 fertilised naturally and we’ve got 4 more possibles…whatever that means?  Maybe they were lazy asses and they had to be ICSI’d?
Anyhow, I’m happy!  So far we’ve only lost 3 little buggers…
Pray that the rest make it through the night…

12 Little Buggers

Thanks for all your prayers and well wishes!
ER was a breeze…aparently I’ll only be feeling pain tomorrow.  Still feeling rather drowsy and a little hung over.
What do we have to show for it?

 
Needless to say I’m in a rather good mood…
Let’s hope these buggers are in the mood to boogy!
