Started IVF cycle

[elizab]

Hi Tara, Julie, Kelly,

sorry it's been a couple of days but things have been very up and down.
Had ET on Thurs which went great - 2 on board and they said we had 3 to freeze. Then about an hour after we got home got call to say the 3 they were preping for freeze had developed signs of an infection - Strep D - and they couldn't freeze them. Also there is the poss that the two that went in also had the infection but it hadn't shown itself by time of transfer. So waiting for more info from microbiology tests but it seems that if my two on board have it the chances of cycle working are not high at all. So weird to have reached 2ww but not feel very positive. I am taking Amoxicillin to counter any infection.

Before anyone else worries apparently this is v. unusual (but if anyone else has heard of it I'd love to know please).

Anyway that's the story - hope to find out more of the implications next week.

Eliz,

Wow, I don't know what to say! I am praying hard that these embies make it and don't have the strep! How did you feel the day after retrieval? Did you feel at all bloated?

Hi Kelly,

Keep drinking those fluids! Gatorade is best for us CFers because of all the salt we lose. The good news is most of your eggs were mature, and it's the immature follicles that tend to cause OHSS. Hang in there! Do you know how many you want to transfer? Does your RE have a liimit? I'm so proud of you! What a great start to your cycle.

Elizab,

I'm so sorry about the possible infection. I really don't know what to say. This is a new curve ball I have never heard of. And I've been around the IVF world for awhile! I hope the two you transferred were the only two not infected and they are growing into beautiful babies right now. Hang in there! The waiting sucks, but try and settle into a good movie or a good book and enjoy your "princess days" as I like to call them, now that DH should be waiting on you hand and foot while you rest. I'll be thinking about you during your 2ww. Keep us posted!

Hi Kelly and Tara,

Thanks for the good wishes - hanging in there though don't want to get my hopes up too much after all that's happened.
Kelly, I felt bloated and was quite sore the day after retreival but it started to wear off after that.

Hope your transfer goes well today.

Talk soon,

Elizab.

Hey Guys,

Well, we got through transfer today. Only one of my 15 made it to freeze <img src="i/expressions/face-icon-small-sad.gif" border="0">

Well I don't know if this is good or not but they transfered 2


1 (8 cell) grade A- (1 1/2 Iguess one is considered the best)
1 (7 cell) grade A-/B+ 1 1/2

Is their any hope? I am not sure what this means! What was everyone's grading on their embies!

Resting today will write more later!

Hi Kelly,

I don't remember what my grades were. I just remember the cells. I'm convinced I got pg with the 8 cell and the 7 cell (we also transferred two 6 cells) But we'll never know for sure. But it sounds like you had a great transfer! How are your Princess Days going? Isn't it fun to get waited on?

Elizab and Kelly, what dates are your betas?

kelly those are really good eggs to transfer. Just to give you some hope, only 4 of mine made it to fertilization, then the day of the transfer only 3 had made it overnight, and then the next day they called us to tell us the one they wanted to freeze didnt' make it. So we had the 2 in me, and it seemed like everything against our IVF actually working (I don't think you were on this site back then, but the military was telling me I couldn't get pregnant, the day of the retrieval they couldn't get sperm from Mark.... and a few other fairly large road blocks presented themselves), and I ended up with 3. so there is hope!

Are you doing the pineapple?
