@mamazon: Yes, I hope donor eggs work for the both of us! Do you know if you're doing fresh or frozen?
@Bloved: Thank you! I hate the feeling of constantly waiting with IF. Thinking of you.
@Greenthumb: Yes, I'm excited about this step!
@purplepumps: Yes, I can't wait Sorry about the business trip, ugh.

@Mermaidri: Best of luck tomorrow! Hope you can have a nice relaxing day afterwards!
@winter_wonder: We'll be doing fresh, and we are in a program where the eggs from one donor are shared between multiple recipients.

Ultrasound and more bloods tomorrow... please don't let there be a cyst there. My OPK's are FINALLY starting to darken, but they did this last time & it wasn't a follicle, but a cyst. So frustrated. Also, my progesterone has already started rising, which means they could cancel this transfer.... so please keep your fingers and toes crossed for us!

Hi. Jumping in here. We will begin stimming in the next couple days in hopes of getting LO #2. This will be my fourth IVF cycle (did two fresh and one frozen for LO #1). Good luck to all!

Yesterday was intense. I surged positive in the morning… just before the scan. The scan showed a nice lining and a HUGE follicle (27mm) which she said looked like it was about to bust. There were concerns it was a cyst, but they said they’d look at the day’s bloods and then decide what to do.
Got a text to say they were thawing yesterday (my day 1′s) and we’ll hopefully have something to transfer at day 5 on Monday. Can’t even believe it.

@jaguar: Congrats and good luck!!
I passed my baseline scan this morning - cyst free! Got the green light to start stims on Saturday.

@MrsYellowJacket: @raintreebee: Best of luck for the next couple of weeks! Such an exciting time in the process... So much hope in the air! @jaguar: Yes! Great news! Are they thawing another batch of three this time? Hopefully your next LO is in there and ready to nestle in!

My gut was right, peeps. Our embryos are shit. We are going for a 3 day transfer today. Out of 5 embryos, only 3 survived the thaw .. And out of those 3, only one is on par. So, back it goes at 11am today. Thank god I was firm about thawing all of the remaining ones. #badluckcontinues

@jaguar: don't give up hope. My shittiest embryo turned out to be my beautiful son and my beautiful ones didn't stick or became chemicals.
Does anyone recall what cycle day ER is during an antagonist cycle?

@jaguar: I'm sorry I hope your embryo surprises you and sticks
@raintreebee: my ER was on CD 15 both times (once antagonist, once agonist). Depends on how you react to the stim meds though.

@Shutterbug: thanks. We aren't telling anyone so am so confused about what to do with LO if it lands on a weekend. Day 15 puts it on a Saturday but we'll figure something out. Hoping overall this is easier psychologically after having one success.

Transfer done. The day 3 emby is on the left & its sad, very-behind little friend got a pity-ride to my uterus too. Righty looks like a bum, so we have called him Crotchy. Lefty is the one we're hoping for a miracle for...

@jaguar: Everything crossed for you! Take good care of yourself!!!

@jaguar: wishing you so much luck! You never know what will stick. At this point I have transferred 3 blasts, none of which have made it long term. My only take home baby is my 3 day embryo. So hopeful for you!

@jaguar: Oh friend, wishing you soooooo much luck on this one! We are transfer twins after all!
AFM: we transferred 3 day 6 blasts yesterday and are feeling hopeful! Now the wait begins!

@GreenThumb: 3 blasts, wow! That is so cool. Makes my sad looking day 3 even sadder, haha. Happy to be TWW twins! xx (Will you test?)
Thanks guys. So hard to be hopeful with all of our bad luck, you know?

@jaguar: FX for you! One is all you need!! Hope this is the one. Isn't that a textbook perfect looking 3 day embie? If you want to see a sad 3 day embie, I'll post my fragmented blobs of a embie if that'll help you feel better.
@GreenThumb: Wow, day 6 blast! FX!

@jaguar: pregnant until proven otherwise! I'm pulling for you so much!

@jaguar: I hope I didn't sound braggy in my previous post. They are day 6 because they were waiting for more development before deciding to freeze and they are graded lower than our previously failed FETs, so that's why we did 3.
We are both definitely working against the odds here and who knows what those little embies will do from here on out!
pomegranate / 3764 posts
@GreenThumb: No, not braggy at all! I just wish one of our 5 had made it to blasty.

@jaguar: My RE says that the embryos want to be back in your uterus and grow much better there. I've never made it to day 5 and got pregnant 3 times with 3 day embryos (with one take home).
I'm not responding as well to meds as I did last time (DOR). How long will they let me stim? So far only 9 measurable follicles and I've been on meds for 11 days. I go back on Monday for a check. todays e2 was just under 1000
