Sorry I haven't been very regular at getting these check ins up lately, things have been crazy with the semester winding down. I've also been feeling a bit exhausted with all the fertility stuff. Scheduling more tests, trying to pick a donor. We're getting closer overall, but it's overwhelming and at the same time feels like we're moving nowhere some days.

[skidevil87]

I’m doing ok. Currently sitting in pre-op waiting to get surgery #3

[jense927]

4 out of the 5 fertilized! I am happy with that. Hopefully they are good quality and continue growing well. Not sure yet what our plan is going to be for transfer/pgs. I am going to wait for the day 5 report before we make a call. I want more than 2 embryos to go the PGS route. It’s so expensive and I want it to be worth it. We shall see. Transfer will be Sunday if we end up doing a fresh transfer.

My husband was in a really bad car accident 2wks ago, and had to have reconstructive surgery on his arm at the exact time of our scheduled transfer last week. So this has been quite the eventful week to say the least.

I still went in and honestly I didn't get any good vibes. Thought this cycle would be a bust. I had an uncontrollable weeping session Tuesday night and decided to test yesterday, and got a faint BFP. I'm still very nervous as Ive had several unhappy endings in the past.

How are you feeling today? This was your tube removal right? (trying to remember, sorry if I'm wrong)

You are totally right. I had my tubes removed and a polyp removed. He found more endo than he ever has in me before, but he didn’t touch any of it (at my request), but I also wasn’t as adhered as he thought I would be. So that’s good. I’m glad to hear about your faint bfp!

[bonzo]

skidevil87, I'm glad the surgery went well! I hope recovery isn't too bad.

jense927, FX for great growth with your 4 embryos!

jaztastic, sorry to hear about your H's accident. FX your faint BFP turns into a strong beta!

[bonzo]

So in another set back, none of the currently available donors meet my RE's criteria for our situation. We might be waiting until April or May for one of our top 2 donors to become available again.

[hoosiermama76]

Ahh. My transfer is tomorrow. Praying my two beautiful embies thaw well and find a home in my Ute!

[bonzo]

Sending you lots of good thoughts for tomorrow, hoosiermama76!

Thanks@ bonzo!

[sally]

jense927 I hope you got great news and things went well over the weekend!

jaztastic congrats and fx things continue to go well. I hope your h's arm heals quickly.

skidevil87 glad to hear things went well!

bonzo I'm sorry to hear you have to wait. I hope the time flies!

hoosiermama76 ahh, exciting! Everything crossed for you today!

Afm, had our appt today. We are going to do a mock cycle next cycle and ERA test and then transfer in Feb. We'll do estrace. Assuming everything goes as planned.

I can almost hear my body laughing at me now.

[jense927]

Well out of the 4, 3 did not look good and one was only a morula on day 5. We transferred that one but I am so bummed. We haven’t been able to great pregnant with the three blasts that we got from previous cycles so my hopes are not high right now. I scheduled a follow up with the RE for the 29th.

I’m so sorry, jense927. Hugs. Keep the faith. I have a friend that had a very poor quality embryo transferred (her only one), and she is five now.

[hoosiermama76]

AFM, transfer went well. Two survived the thaw, and they were transferred. One was a really good quality blastocyst, and the other was good quality before it defrosted, but it had some cell degeneration. Embryologist said she didn’t want to defrost the other ones ( two more frozen), and thought even the one “she wasn’t crazy about” had a shot.

Post and run, but...
