Congratulations shopa!!

Was this your first ivf?

i have 1 more day to wait after the 2nd IUI and am trying to decide if we do the 3rd iui or invest our money into ivf which has more chances?   more expensive but worth it if it finally works? im not sure how many more months of disappointment I can take!    Would be great if tomorrow's bloods showed a BFP but im not hopeful !]]> Thu, 02 Apr 2009 12:13:41 +0000 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=4956&PID=651149&title=infertility#651149 <![CDATA[Infertility... : Hi all great news!

hi everyone

lampoon i also have to wait 12 months, I have to have a scan first in two weeks just to make sure that my eggs can wait that long, otherwise i have to seek other options.

but does suck, i've been starting to stress about it in the last couple of days. Keep thinking i know i really want a baby and have been for many years , but the whole thought of all the treatment and stress just freaking me out aye.

Best of luck Shopa - that two week wait is hard but try not to think about it too much. Wow two back in - that could be fun for you.

Loubee - the headaches could be from the drugs rather than giving up coffee. I got wicked ones until I started the puregon and then they started to calm down again. All the best for your cycle

It was interesting to hear the lenght of waiting times in Hamilton. When we went to visit FA in Wellington at the beginning of the year their waiting list had increase to at least 9 months whereas 12 months before that it was only 6 months. We had been told we would have a 6 month wait and in the end only waited 3. It least it didn't give me too much time to worry about it then.

Good luck to all of you. It is a huge experience but worth it if it all turns out right.]]> Wed, 25 Mar 2009 15:40:48 +0000 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=4956&PID=644763&title=infertility#644763 <![CDATA[Infertility... : Hiya It is quite scary and exciting...]]> https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=4956&PID=642750&title=infertility#642750 Author: Shopa

Hiya
It is quite scary and exciting getting to EC. Ec was ok, a bit sore in the left ovary but really was over very quickly and after wards you feel so great its over and excited. I found it takes a few days to recover -just a bit crampy and bruised feeling so get dh prepared to pamper you!

Waiting to see how the eggs fertililse and embies develop was a bit agonising for us. We didn't get the results we hoped for (would have loved 20 odd eggs and 10 odd embies to freeze he he...). I got 8 eggs one of which was immature. 5 fertilised and 2 put back in with none to freeze very sad. They feel like your little babies even this early!

Can only hope these embies develop well and hold in there. I have noticed on other sites that there are quite a few women who don't get the ellusive 'top grade embies' but still get pregnant never the less. There are also top grade embies that don't result in a pregnancy. Hope that bodes well for us. However keep this in mind when you go through EC and the days after this while you are watching the progress of your embies and don't agonise too much about getting the top grade.

Take care and all the best to your ladies cycles!]]> Mon, 23 Mar 2009 12:32:32 +0000 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=4956&PID=642750&title=infertility#642750 <![CDATA[Infertility... : Ooh exciting you are finally almost...]]> https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=4956&PID=636851&title=infertility#636851 Author: loubee

Ooh exciting you are finally almost at egg collection Shopa! I had my down-reg blood test last Weds. All OK. Started on Puregon (rather than gonal-f) on Weds. I have another blood test to check response to that on Tuesday. They are saying egg collection is likely to be next Mon or Tues. So I'm a week behind you!
Haven't found the drugs too bad. Felt a bit crappy on the buserelin (tired, a bit grumpy) but nothing like I thought I might. Feeling better now that the buserelin dose has been reduced and am on the puregon.
Worst thing I've had is terrible headaches from giving up coffee! I decided to go cold turkey when I started the puregon. I was only a 1-2 cup per day girl anyway but I had three days of horrible pounding headaches. Scary that so little caffeine can cause withdrawal symptoms like that! Am seriously considering not starting drinking it ever again!

Nat - I posted a reply to you in your other thread about IVF. MEant to say in that reply that I have heard metformin can be used for infertility. My friend was prescribed it when she was having trouble TTC. She has endo and PCOS and was not ovulating. They said the metformin can help regulate insulin and metabolism and that in turn can help you to ovulate more regularly. In the end she needed a boost of clomid to get her to conceive but I think the metformin helped her cycles.]]> Mon, 16 Mar 2009 07:26:02 +0000 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=4956&PID=636851&title=infertility#636851 <![CDATA[Infertility... : Ho Loubee The gonal is fine, noticed...]]> https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=4956&PID=635855&title=infertility#635855 Author: Shopa

Ho Loubee
The gonal is fine, noticed the tierdness lifted when I reduced the buserelin but after a week or so on gonal it started to come back and I am so ready to hit the sack at night. I would recommend you look after yourself and take it easy, get lots of sleep, I think that must be important for the little eggs developing. Maybe the body's energy is all going into this. The stiming phase is certainly more exciting. I had my blood on Tuesday and first scan yesterday. I have 13 follicles ranging from 10-15 in size with 2 8's. They seem to be happy enough with that. Another blood on Sunday and EC looks to be Tuesday! Ovary's starting to get a little crampy now.
The scans are fine. You must be due for down regulating blood soon. It is good to know the drugs are working and you can get on to stimming!

How are you going country girl? how many days till results?

Hope everyone is going well.]]> Sat, 14 Mar 2009 10:20:50 +0000 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=4956&PID=635855&title=infertility#635855 <![CDATA[Infertility... : Hey everyone, I am not really...]]> https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=4956&PID=635335&title=infertility#635335 Author: Nutella

Hey everyone, I am not really sure where to post so figured this is as good as anywhere.
I have been trying to conceive for 18 months with no success, and recently had an operation to remove a suspected polyp which actually didn't exist (which is rather depressing as the supposed polyp was supposed to be acting like a IUD) but instead I an adhesion that was holding my ovary in place or something which should only have had an impact of 5% on fertility.
Anyway, this means that I guess I have unexplained infertility (partner spermies been checked and all good). The specialist has put me on metformin to help with fertility (I thinik because I a bit chubby..like no overweight women ever get pregnant..not) but as far as I can see this helps to lose weight (haha yay) for those with pcos but I don't see how this is gonna help me-except I will hopefully lose weight heehee!
Has anyone else had this treatment for what seems to be no reason??]]> Fri, 13 Mar 2009 15:07:00 +0000 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=4956&PID=635335&title=infertility#635335 <![CDATA[Infertility... : Hi Country Girl (and all others!)

Hi Country Girl (and all others!)
You said you had to wait only 6 months for IVF ICSI at Hamilton?? We went for our first appointment on Tuesday and were told there is a 10-12 month wait I really don't know if I can wait that long. Been TTC for over 2 years already, and another year just feels like torture. We are tyring to decide whether we can do it privately or not.
You must be just about due for your blood test?

Hi Shopa. I have certainly heard that coffee is a no-go for IVF. I cut down a while ago, but am still having one cup per day every morning. I will stop the caffiene completely once I start on the puregon. I spoke to DH last night about it and he's going to give up with me since he needs to cut down on the cofee too.

I have been exercising pretty much the same as before but I think I'll cut down once they do the embryo replacement as I've heard that excess exercise is not good in the TWW. At the moment I am jogging for 30 mins 3 or 4 times per week. I'm trying to keep it up while I can because I know that the IVF drugs make you put on weight and I already needed to lose 5kg or so when we started IVF.

I'm not sure if I'll still feel like running once I have ovaries jammed full of follicles tho!!]]> Thu, 05 Mar 2009 12:03:08 +0000 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=4956&PID=629157&title=infertility#629157 <![CDATA[Infertility... : Hi Have had first blood and confirmed...]]> https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=4956&PID=627735&title=infertility#627735 Author: Shopa

Hi
Have had first blood and confirmed I am down regged. Next the gonal f starts tomorrow night. Have been doing a bit of research on the net about recommended tips re diet, exercise ect while on IVF. There seems to be quite a bit about the benefits of a high protien diet with diary for good egg production. Of course no caffine, including chocolate and other stuff with caffine as it can affect implantation. There is research to say that over 4 hours of exercise a week -cardio stuff like running, cycling can have a negative impact on ivf outcomes. Anyone else heard of this?

How are you going country girl, are you having any signs or symptoms? Do you have any embies on ice?]]> Tue, 03 Mar 2009 18:27:25 +0000 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=4956&PID=627735&title=infertility#627735 <![CDATA[Infertility... : Hi Loubee Wait until you reach...]]> https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=4956&PID=626156&title=infertility#626156 Author: Country girl

Hi Loubee

Wait until you reach the days post ET and need to wait for the big blood test - that takes ages!!! I am currently waiting for my result and time is crawling!
I hope you are not finding the Buserelin too bad - not long and you will be on Gonal F (time will start to move quickly)

I am getting used to doing my Buserelin injection every morning now. 5 days down, about 16 to go! I stop the BCP in a couple of days and then keep going with Buserelin until next week when I have a blood test to check down regulation. This part seems to take aaaages.

Wow thanks Loubee. How exciting that you have picked up your bag of needles - now that's progress. I hope it goes well for you.

Thanks so much for the info. I can't wait for there to be action! I feel like I really need some kind of examination to see if I have blocked tubes. LOL at the post-coital. I have heard of some people who can't get pregnant because of incompatibility with the egg and sperm - i guess that's what that's for.

My DH is not good at BDing on demand, lol, so that could be a problem.

For some reason we are not eligible for public funding until we have been TTC 18 months. So depending on the cost of things, and the treatment recommended, we might be facing a wait until June after this first appointment - but I figure the waiting lists seem to almost be that long anyway, so might as well get the ball rolling.

Thanks again for your support :D]]> Thu, 26 Feb 2009 08:36:32 +0000 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=4956&PID=623217&title=infertility#623217 <![CDATA[Infertility... : Elleroo - I don&#039;t think they...]]> https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=4956&PID=623177&title=infertility#623177 Author: loubee

Elleroo - I don't think they will do the internal scan if you have AF. For at least one of our FA appts I have had AF and they know that (they have your cycle dates) and they didn't do one.    Like you, we also have unexplained infertility. Both DH and I are 30, have been trying for almost 2 years now. We got our GP to do basic tests on both of us after 7 months of trying (my hormones were normal and his sperm was normal) and then we asked her to refer us to FA after 11 months.   For us FA first recommended a low dose of clomid since they thought our problem might be slightly low progesterone for me. They also did another sperm analysis for DH and then referred me for a HSG to check if my tubes were clear. The first cycle of clomid was a "tracked cycle" which meant they took regular blood tests to check my hormone levels and they let us know when to "do the deed". Also they did a post-coital test that month which is when you do the deed at ovulation time and then go into the clinic the next day (with your legs crossed!!). They then take a swab and see if his sperm can swim OK in your mucus (TMI sorry).
Hope your first appt goes well. It does feel good to finally do something about it and see an expert who can hopefully help!

Well, I picked up my bag-o-needles-and-drugs for IVF yesterday! First Buserelin injection this morning. Good to finally be at the next stage of the cycle.

Shopa - I am taking 40 units of Buserelin every morning. When I start the Puregon in a couple of weeks (150 units every evening), I drop the Buserelin dose to 20 units. I think am on a pretty conservative dose since I responded pretty well to the low doses when we did IUI.]]> Thu, 26 Feb 2009 06:59:30 +0000 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=4956&PID=623177&title=infertility#623177 <![CDATA[Infertility... : Thanks Country girl.

Thanks Country girl. We will be going with Hamilton too although we live out of Ham, so the first appointment they actually come to Tauranga.

Eek at the internal exam, I may have AF at the time, oh well not much I can do about that!

Sounds good though - having a plan of attack is really what I want - even if it means we have to wait for a few months to become eligible.

Hi Elleroo
At our first appointment the gynocologist looked over our test results and explained to us the best course of treatment (in our case it was IVF ICSI). They explain to you the risks, what is involved and will let you know if you are eligible for public funding - or if more tests are required. If you are eligible for public funding they will let you know the waiting list time. We are under Hamilton and waited 6 months.
Oh - if you havent had an internal scan they may do that at the appiontment too....

Hi ladies, you all seem so knowledgable, I wonder if you could help me.
We have our first FA appointment on Friday, and I was just wondering what to expect?

Bit of background - we are self-referring for this first appointment. TTC for 14 months, I am 31 and DH 33.
So far my blood test and Dh's sperm tests have not shown up any problems so at the moment it is "unexplained" infertility, though I have not had any scans or lap or anything (no history of endo or anything).

Thanks for anything you can tell me about the appointment - I'm quite nervous and excited as we have been waiting so long for any kind of action.

Hi Shopa - sorry I just saw your questions on the other page. I don't have my drugs plan yet but I am going into the clinic tomorrow to get instructions and pick up the buserelin because I start it on Thursday morning. I know that I will be taking 150 of Puregon (rather than Gonal F) though. I used Puregon and also the Ovidrel trigger injection during my two IUI cycles so I just need to learn about the Buserelin this time.

I have been finding being on the pill a bit weird. My boobs are huge and I reckon I've been a lot more moody (DH has been good and not said anything though!). I hear that you get even worse on Buserelin because you go through a temporary menopause (they shut everything down). Sounds like fun.

Hi Loubee
Not far behind me. The bus injections really are so easy, I jumped for joy last week when I found they were not nearly as bad as I feared!

Do you have your plan and drugs yet and have they gone through the injection ed with you? I am on 40 of bus and when gonal f starts I am 150 (and bus drops to 20). I hope they are giving me enough drugs! The nurse said it was the normal amount but i'm 38 and hope its enough.

Have you got moody on the pill? Other women have talked about it and I have been so up and down although now its probably a cocktail of bus, the pill and all the emotions associated with infertility and ivf. The nurse did say though that the pill can make women moody.

A crazy thing happened this weekend, my d/h left the buserelin out of the fridge!!! He offered to put it away and didn't put it back in and it was left out the fridge for a whole day and night!!! I was horrified. He called the clinic and apparently it will be ok but I am going to double check tomorrow as I'm worried that it might have caused some damage and paying $10,000 a cycle, I just do not want to risk it!

Anyone else do something as silly as leave their bus out of the fridge???

...and I have put my gonal f in the fridge now (it is stored at room temp once opened) is that right?

Me 38

Fingers crossed that works!

Thought it was about time I checked in again and so so sad to read about the negative Scardeycat, you have waited so long for good news and I really hope it is just around the corner with your TER. Just remember it takes a little time to feel better and I hope you have lots of lovely supportive people that are looking after you and your DH.

All the best for a wonderful pregnancy fionae.

Well we were due to have our review end of March but they rang Monday to say there was a cancellation available so went up to Hamilton today. We now wait for a letter to say when our second round of IVF will be but currently they are booking for October so it will be the end of the year - ho hum more waiting. They have told us they will change us to a microdose flare with pill protocol to see if I can respond a bit better with more follicles and hopefully better quality. So in the meantime I will lose a few extra kilos to try and be tip top healthy for the end of the year.]]> Wed, 18 Feb 2009 20:26:50 +0000 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=4956&PID=617728&title=infertility#617728 <![CDATA[Infertility... : Hey guys, Many thanks for the...]]> https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=4956&PID=617717&title=infertility#617717 Author: ScaredyCat

I am still on the pill. I start Buserelin on the 26th so a little ways to go yet. I will be taking Puregon rather than Gonal-F for the FSH drug.

Am over the waiting game, just want to know one way or another now but nothing I can do but sit and hope for the best.

Hi all. Newbie here. Actually I've been lurking for a while but decided to finally say hello now that we are definitely doing IVF. We have been trying for baby #1 for 22 months and have unexplained infertility (are both aged 30). Tried for 8 months on our own then went to Fert Assoc in Wgtn. Have had 6 months on clomid, then 2 unsuccessful IUI cycles. We have public funded IVF lined up for September but have decided to self-fund a cycle ourselves. Started on the pill on Tuesday. Will prob have egg collection late March. Amazing how when we first went to FA I was freaked out at the thought of IVF but now a year later am a bit more accepting of it all. Seems a bit weird to be on the pill though after 2 years not taking it - back where I started!
Right, I'm off to have a read through the archives of this thread.]]> Wed, 11 Feb 2009 16:12:35 +0000 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=4956&PID=611727&title=infertility#611727 <![CDATA[Infertility... : fingers crossed for you ladies!...]]> https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=4956&PID=611122&title=infertility#611122 Author: noodle

Fionae that sounds promising. I think there is a link to tables of hcg either in the due in sep or the due in oct. But I think the main thing is that the levels are doubling every 48 hours. I will go and looky for the table and try and post it back here.

Hi all, thought I would drop a line to keep you all up dated. I had my first blood test which came back at 20hcg then yesterdays came back at 98. Tis going in the right direction but not quite high as they would like...Have another one on Monday!

Does anyone know what the normal rises should be? Is this ok or not????

Hiya,

Had my blood test today and not a very good result, un conclusive!! Not high enough to be a positive and not low enough to be a negative!! So am stuck in limbo for another four days before another blood test on Thursday.

Not holding too much hope for this one though as I started spotting yesterday and the nurse I spoke to didn't think it was a good sign.

So a bit gutted today, was really hoping for a BFP, and I guess there's still a little hope but it doesn't feel overly good at the moment.

Hope everyone else is doing ok. And thanks for the well wishes.]]> Sun, 08 Feb 2009 18:29:47 +0000 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=4956&PID=608871&title=infertility#608871 <![CDATA[Infertility... : Nat - its totally normal.

Nat - its totally normal. I had a lap back in August and afterwards all I could think was what if it doesn't make a difference, what if I still don't get pg? And this is our 3rd cycle TTC since then (had to have a 2nd lap in Nov) and last month I just had a complete breakdown - I couldn't stop crying for 2 days. Everyone around me was getting pg - including a girl I work with who also has endo and got pg by accident!

This cycle I'm more at peace, but that's because I had a good talk with myself and I've made some decisions and plans that don't have anything to do with TTC. This site and others like it have also made me more obsessive and upset in the past - especially when you see so many BFPs and I've had times where I've stayed away for weeks or months but in the end I always come back because this is the only place where you can find other people who know how you feel because they are going through the exact same thing. Big hugs and I hope you feel better soon.]]> Fri, 06 Feb 2009 19:00:10 +0000 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=4956&PID=607722&title=infertility#607722 <![CDATA[Infertility... : So sorry to hear about your BFN...]]> https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=4956&PID=607700&title=infertility#607700 Author: tiptoes

I think I am going to have to ban myself from this forum and from watching baby shows! Getting too depressed and obsessed with babies. Had op yesterday and today feeling all depressed wondering if it will have made any difference, what if it hasn't blah blah. And I know I should not worry about the wot-ifs until it happens(or doesn't happen) but that is really a lot easier to say than do.
It just sucks, and every month feel like a right failure and such disappointment when no baby.
   Had a big bawl just before and was thinking at the same time, this is so stupid, I should be feeling pleased that op is over and done with and can try again.
Guess I am just scared...but I feel so IRRATIONAL! Am I normal feeling this way?]]> Fri, 06 Feb 2009 17:20:21 +0000 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=4956&PID=607669&title=infertility#607669 <![CDATA[Infertility... : Fionae - how are you going, any...]]> https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=4956&PID=607665&title=infertility#607665 Author: honeybun

Fionae - how are you going, any good news yet?

Shopa, hi. Spoke to the counsellor over the phone yesterday from FAH and felt a bit better about it all and we have decided to do a second round. She told us you don't have to wait as long for a second go at IVF. We have our review appointment booked for end of March so that will be interesting to see what they say and what they would change for the second round and hopefully we would get an indication of when it would be.

Best of luck girls for the TWW

Honeybun do you mind if I ask, will you try again? It doesn't always happen in the first round. Statistically your chances increase with each egg collection/transfer. I read somewhere that couple embarking on IVF should be prepared to give it 3 go's (EC's) if you can. I know it is a big investment on so many levels though. Wishing you all the best with whatever you decide to do.]]> Fri, 06 Feb 2009 10:50:35 +0000 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=4956&PID=607460&title=infertility#607460 <![CDATA[Infertility... : Good luck for the operation Nat,...]]> https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=4956&PID=607079&title=infertility#607079 Author: ScaredyCat

My girlfriend has a wee girl just a couple of days older than your precious Rory, and I'm her guardian so get to have lots of cuddles, its such a gorgeous age, all big eyes and the odd smile (of course hand straight back to mum if she even thinks about crying, ah the joys!).

Hi Fionae and honey bun just read your posts, I really sorry.

I am just starting my first cycle and we are paying for it ourselves. I won't qualify for public funding till a couple of years when I'm 40 and then I won't qualify cause of my age! Paying for it ourselves is our only option of having children.

I take comfort from the fact though in terms of success the graphs in the fert assoc material do show the pregnancy rates increase with each transfer/collection. Hang in there, and best of luck in July fionae.

Well it was a negative blood test today so IVF didn’t work for us and we are very broken hearted and sad.

Hiya Nat,

I think everyone is different depending on your circumstances. We've been trying 4 years all up but not all of that has been on the waiting list for IVF obviously.

My doctor didn't refer us to a specialist until after 1 year of trying and then when I did go the specialist she wanted to try a few things first like Clomid and I had the lap & dye done as well and then she also wanted to wait a couple of months after that to see if that helped things along as well.

In hind sight we should have jumped on the waiting list way before we did (prob when she started me on Clomid) and then wouldn't have had the big long wait before IVF started.

Maybe ask your specialist if you can go on the waiting list anyway (not sure how long it is at the moment, I think it varies from location to location) and then if your fall pg in the meantime you can always come off it!!

Good luck with your operation Thursday, I hope it all goes well!!

Hello everyone, I don't know anything much about IVF but I was wondering how long everyone was trying before they were referred to IVF?
We have been trying for 16 months and got referred in Dec 08 to specialist who is now operating on me this thursday to remove polyp from uterus.
I was wondering - will I then have to keep trying for another year before anything else will happen or do you think that they will refer me on earlier?

Hi all,
Well I am back from wellington. Ended up staying longer than we thought. Had the transfew last Monday so now playing the waiting game. We had 10 eggs but only 3 fertilized so feel a bit ripped off too.
Honetbun so sorry to hear your other embies didn't make it. Hopefully you won't be needing them anyway!
Here is to all of us on this journey and to hoping that 2009 will bring us lots of little darlings....

Take care

Hi sun, wishing you all the very best for your upcoming IVF, hope it all goes well for you.

We are just about at the end of our first IVF with transfer back in tomorrow and we too have been diagnosed with unexplained infertility, its very frustrating when you can't get an answer as to why!

Anyway look forward to hearing how you get on, good luck!]]> Tue, 27 Jan 2009 09:52:14 +0000 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=4956&PID=598569&title=infertility#598569 <![CDATA[Infertility... : Hi Im new to this forum but have...]]> https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=4956&PID=598321&title=infertility#598321 Author: sun

Hi Im new to this forum but have read a little on whats happening at the mo. Can I say how I feel for everyone whos dealing with their own stuff. I'd like to tell you where I'm at on the journey. We have a teenager from a previous relationship, we then conceived to our joy 11 years ago only to end up ectopic (where I apparantley almost died) . We have been TTC for almost 11 years now and had all the usual test and have been diagnosed as unexplained infertility. We just saw the specialist last week whom is keen to start us on Ivf in March this year. we already had all the usual sperm and blood test before Christmas. We are sooo excited and I'm hoping this will be a good result but I cant help feeling aprehensive and quite nervous![:s Look forward to hearing from you all.

Hi honeybun, sorry to hear your news about your other embies not making it but here's hoping the one they did transfer is good and strong and hangs in there! I have my fingers crossed for you!

Had my EC earlier today and all went well, had 11 eggs collected and hear tomorrow how many got fertilised overnight. I have another set of fingers crossed for them too!

I hope your feeling ok, take care.

Well not such great news all the other embies didn't make it so very sad about that and hoping that the one they did transfer back does make it but I don't think the clinic was holding out too much hope for us being that it was a grade 3. ]]> Sun, 25 Jan 2009 12:32:20 +0000 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=4956&PID=596864&title=infertility#596864 <![CDATA[Infertility... : congrats noodle on the a healthy...]]> https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=4956&PID=596480&title=infertility#596480 Author: alexbabe

Well they could only transfer a 7 cell grade 3 embryo today and will see if the other embies go to day five but not looking that hopeful so a little disappointed as was hoping for an 8 cell grade 4 to give me the best chance but I guess will see.

Good luck fionae for EC tomorrow and Scardeycat for EC on Sunday.]]> Thu, 22 Jan 2009 19:03:02 +0000 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=4956&PID=595034&title=infertility#595034 <![CDATA[Infertility... : Oh yay for you Fionae, good luck...]]> https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=4956&PID=594949&title=infertility#594949 Author: ScaredyCat

Oh yay for you Fionae, good luck tomorrow, hope it all goes well, I'm sure it will be fine

I had my scan and another blood test today and everything looking good too, I have another blood test tomorrow morning and they said if that still good the trigger will be tomorrow night with EC on Sunday (still to be confirmed after blood test tomorrow) eeekkkk, that was a bit quicker that I expected!!

How was your appointment today Honeybun, I must have just about run into you at FA Hamilton, I was there too about 10.40am but I see your appointment was 11.30am, hope all was good for you too.
