The realization that this is happening set in today, know I could possibly have my transfer tomorrow. The difference between this process with IVF and IUI is that with the IUI, I questioned if fertilization actually took place. That factor is now removed.
My day 2 report: I now have 10 fertilized eggs vs 8 from yesterday. 2- 2 cells but shows some fragmentation, 3- 2 cells and 3 - 4 cells, 1 just starting to divide and 1 just showing fertilization. The nurse will give me a call later in the day.
So tomorrow is the xfer day, that feeling of excitement and anxiety is starting to sink in. The two days after the retrieval was easy. But this day 3 and 4 has been the worst. It's that feeling of waiting for something to happen but it never does. If attempted to keep busy but eventually you are done. I'm thankful tomorrow is the transfer day, I'm thankful I don't have a real TWW. The embryologist generally don't call on day 4 with an update but the nurse never followed through with procedures for tomorrow, so I got an update. :) Out of 10, I was showing signs of arresting, 2- behind the others but dividing. 2 were 8 cells, 2 were 12 cells and 3 were starting to compact. She thought I would have good choices for tomorrow. Here's to tomorrow! Baby wishes for all
HPT, washed the refrigerator, loaded it with 2 cases of water..Why? Trying to pass time until time for my transfer. I'm so glad I received a negative test result this morning, so that when I test again I'm not questioning if the trigger is still in my system. Best wishes to everyone on their journey.
Today I am 5dp5dt and I am having any noticeable symptoms.
I am holding on to the fact that many women don't have symptom. (My friend that's 7 weeks pregnant without symptoms has been encouraging, her and her husband also underwent treatment and that was the only reason she found out at 4wks)
I am to nervous to test early, trying to hold out till the morning of my beta on the 30th. I do find comforting in knowing the eggs were indeed fertilized whereas with the IUI I always questioned the timing.
I am 9dp5dt. Tested at day 5/6 both were BFN I know it was early but still discouraging, especially with everyone else in my IVF group having faint lines. I was longing for a symptom of sort, but nothing. I made a choice not to test again and wait for my beta. At least I would be able to hold on to a glimpse of hope of being PUPO.
So tomorrow is test day, I'm already contemplating do I let the result call go to voicemail or do I brave the results.
KBT- I'm so sorry. That's so frustrating. You are absolutely right that no one truly undertstands what we are going through. Did you freeze any embryos? Will you be trying again?
Continuing my journey on IVF#2. Giving my ovaries a rest this month, starting BC to attempt to control the rate of growth of the follicles. Then follistim, New: menopur from the start, low dosage of prednisone for 10-14 days after transfer with aspirin.
KBT thank you so much for posting your journey. I have been along side you the whole way. I will keep you in my thoughts and prayers this upcoming cycle.
Things are good! I had my first scan last week and was surprised to find out that there are two babies growing in there :) baby 1 is growing a week behind baby 2 so they are going to continue to monitor its progress. I'm staying positive as anything is possible! I have my next scan on Wednesday :)
So here is my Sunday update...Left 12 under 10 right 1-12, 1-11, 9 under 10. In the weekend I go to a different office. The resident there said the "C" word. It might get cancelled. I will wait to here from my dr but it would really suck as my insurance stops covering fertility in Oct. Wondering if the new of BCP and Lupron over suppressed me because I didn't have issues with size 1st round. Next few hours are going to be agonizing

I still haven't made a determination on freezing

So few people really understand our journeys.
Thoughts with everyone testing tomorrow.
Today I had my ultrasound, showing 7 follies in each ovary. Next ultrasound Friday
