Treatment at Barcelona IVF - Part 3

[huma]

Hi All,


Hope everyone is well and looking forward to the weekend 


Shilu how have you been feeling hope everything is fine with you?


Daisy hope you are keeping well and the pregnancy is progressing nicely? Any funny crav[size=78%]ings so far?[/size]


Monkeyface - wonderful news re your lining did the clinic call to let you know how many eggs fertilised? Hope everything has gone well. Hope you have a safe journey to Barcelona on Sunday and wishing you loads of luck for the transfer 


Jasminatea wow 8.9mm lining on the first scan - that's amazing well done you!! was this a result of drinking raspberry tea?. Do you know when your donor is having egg collection and when your transfer will be?


AFM - I am still waiting for my NK results to come back from Chicago I was hoping they would be back by now but I've been told maybe by Monday which is so frustrating really praying that they have gone down so that I can start treatment otherwise other another injection of humira will be needed and this puts me back another couple of weeks  .

Hi huma,

I contacted the clinic and they told me we got 11 eggs, 10 mature and 8 have fertilised. I'm very happy with that news and can't wait to go on Sunday.

Sorry to hear your results haven't come back. I'm sure they will. The hardest part is the waiting.

Hi everyone.

Well had my transfer today... I think it went really well. Normally I'm in immense pain but today nothing. I definitely believe it's because they know what they are doing here. Anyway we had 4 embryos left this morning so I decided on putting one back in and froze the rest. My donor is the perfect match in every way, in fact it could be a  description of me on paper. She is also proven which gives me encouragement.

Anyway I hope you all had a lovely valentines.

Hi Monkeyface1856,

That is such great news, well done.

Just keep yourself busy these next 2 weeks, but not with anything strenuous. I know Daisy1234 recommended watching programmes that make you feel happy or are funny, keeps tensions down.

Keep going with your prescribed meds. Regarding folic acid, if you are on pregnacare conception, I switched to pregnacare for pregnancy at this stage. Drink lots of fluids, avoid the carbonated ones and coffee, and that's it, hope that helps x

All the best, I have my fingers crossed for you xx

Hi ladies
We've found out that the egg collection is tomorrow and the transfer is on Monday. I've booked the flight even though I dont know the results .. Thought I'd take the risk as flight prices  are high but now wondering if I should have waited...

Monkey face - that's really  great news. And even better that it was pain free   Did the doctors give all the embryos a grade? I've decided only only one embryo transfer as well due to the cervical stitch.

Also did anyone get the estrogen and progesterone in the uk? Or did you carry 55 days worth back from Barcelona?

Hope you are all well
Xx

Hi Jasminetea,

Wow you are only a few days behind Monkeyface1856, how exciting!

Regarding your booking it is personal choice, if you have booked easyjet they do allow you to cancel in the first 24 hours without penalty. I did my booking once I knew the embryos had got to day 2/3 but only because last October none of the donor eggs fertilised, which can happen but rare. However, you have a proven donor so unlikely xx

I was given enough oestrogen for 12 weeks, but needed more progesterone from week 7, however they give you a written prescription too, which I was able to use in my local pharmacy. My GP was also happy to write a prescription if I had any problems.


Wishing you all the best xx

Hi Huma,

Any results yet?

Wishing you all lots of love,

Shilu xx

Good morning,

I was only given enough medication to last me a couple of weeks past test day and no prescription. I'm hoping if I get a positive test my GP isn't going to be a pain.

It is a shame jasminetea wasn't there when I was... Would have been nice to say hello to someone. Good luck with the collection today... I'm sure your donor will have plenty of healthy eggs for you.

My embryos were graded at 2 X 1AA and 2 X 2AA which were great blasts. I'm glad you are going for one too, unless he talks you into it when you get there. 

Thanks for the wishes Huma... I am planning on doing the least amount of work possible in the next week or so. As soon I know my results I will let you all know.

Time to get my flight back home... Such a shame to leave BCN. It's lovely and warm.
