Hello ladies, it's been a long time I posted here an update.

My life has changed a bit and I want to share with you my new condition, well..

What to start with... as you probably know I have opted for a de ivf in europe. They have found a donor for me as well and we started to take meds in order to synchronize our cycles(my donor and me) haha, I felt nervous and frustrated, I didn't know what to expect from this treatment but thanks god everything was ok.

During the egg collection the docs were able to take 21 eggs(to my mind, this is amazing number, don't you think so?)

18 of them were of good quality, unfortunately 3 were immature but I was ok with it, my donor did the best for me and I'm grateful for these embryos I have.

Furthermore, 4 my little beans become AA, 8 AB and 6 BC(my lovely one, they need more love and support)πŸ’—πŸ’—πŸ’—πŸ’—πŸ’—

18 of April is the best day in my life πŸ’— πŸ’—πŸ’—πŸ’—πŸ’—πŸ’—πŸ’—πŸ’—πŸ’—πŸ’—πŸ’—πŸ’—πŸ’—πŸ’—πŸ’—

my 3 embies were transferred to my bodyπŸ’—πŸ’—πŸ’—πŸ’—πŸ’—

Wow, it's incredible feeling, I couldn't express it with words, I hope all ladies here will be through all these as me now.

Let my journey of being pregnant start!!!!!!!!

Oh, neartly forgot to ask, have you felt pregnant after 3 days embryo transfer, what feedbacks have you experienced?

Thank you in advance

love you all here πŸ’—πŸ’—πŸ’—πŸ’—πŸ’—πŸ’—πŸ’—πŸ’—πŸ’—

Just wanted to wish you all the very best and I so hope that you will have positive news to share soon. My DE IVF transfer is set for 29th May and we fly out to the clinic on the 24th, so a little over a month away.

If our donor even gives us half as many eggs I will be elated!! That is a fantastic number she produced for you! I am trying to stay grounded, as I know there are so many unexpected twists and turns on this journey...grounded but optimistic.

My thoughts are with you and your 3 little ones and fingers are crossed for much happiness to come your way soon xx

Thank you very much for your reply.. I'm excited and extremely happy with these news. I just took some time to make up my mind, to relax and spend time with my family.;)

aww, 29th May, it's so soon, how are you feeling about future et? How's your stimulation? Do you have any bad side effects?

Don't be worried, to my mind, our donor will give a great amount of eggs, btw, where is your clinic? My guarantees every donor gives 15 eggs minimum, frankly speaking this is amazing.

I don't want to put any negatives on my pregnancy, I hope all my kids will be implanted and I become a true mum!!!!!! Fingers crossed as well for my little ones..

I have been very calm until a few days ago. My medication arrived in a big box yesterday, so it is all beginning to feel very real now and I am starting to get a bit nervous. I only start my 'proper' medication on the 24th (Monday) so have yet to find out how my body will respond to it. Time will tell.

My clinic is in the Czech Republic and we are having 2 x 5 day blastocysts put back in (if everything goes to plan!)

Good luck to you for the next two weeks and beyond. I am sure you will make a great mom :)

bfrida profile image
bfridaβ€’ in reply toCountryCat

I wish I could be calm but no, it's not about me.. My nerves are frayed, and I try to gather all my thoughts together but with no results. The 2www is really hard for me, expectation time is emotional though...

thanks my clinic the et went good, no side effects and I could leave clinic in some time.

Didn't they give you medication during your initial? Have you paid for it any extra money?

My little ones were 5 days old before transfer has been done to me, I hope everything will be ok this time !!!

What do you mean by 'proper' medication?

CountryCat profile image
CountryCatβ€’ in reply tobfrida

Got to agree, not really a cool, calm and collected person, although I so wish to be! Just not my lot!

I paid a small surcharge for my medication, as it medication was not included in the fee, but we were informed how much it would be before we signed the contract. The cost was very reasonable.

By proper medication, I meant the decapeptyl injection, Progynova pills and Urogestan pessaries.

I hope that your nerves will not get the better of you and that your 2WW passes by quickly xx

bfrida profile image
bfridaβ€’ in reply toCountryCat

We didn't pay any money because everything was included, I mean a pack of medication and initial as well. I'm curious, did you pay for it too?

Almost the same, but I had pregnenoldione injections as well. Did you have any bad side effects? What about Divinel?

Long or short protocol you had?

CountryCat profile image
CountryCatβ€’ in reply tobfrida

I have not started my medication yet. I have only been on an oral contraceptive to sync my cycle with that of my donors. I start taking the medication tomorrow so have yet to find out how it will affect me. Not taking Divinel...fairly exotic name, but I am sure if it's medication, it's not much fun ;)

bfrida profile image
bfridaβ€’ in reply toCountryCat

haha, kind of

oh, probably Divinel is the same as Divigel, if I'm not mistaken. I was provided with all meds, so I didn't pay any extra money for it.

And I was surprised when you told you paid for it, anyway this is wonderful you start taking your meds today!!!

Take care dear! If you have any questions I'm open to them

Lovely news! My congrats!!!xxx

I know how dreadfully you want to feel pregnancy now!!! I remember my first day after et I baught several of tests just in case!!! lol

First days you may feel some sideeffects from the meds you take...but in general, just do your common things and take care of yourself!!!!

bfridaβ€’ in reply toburkeee

haha, no, I haven't bought yes any home tests, I don't want to upset myself before time. As my doc told, we have to wait 2 weeks before our beta should be done.

Yes, I was asked to be on bed rest for 24 hours, feeling a bit crampy but my nurse said it was normal. I took of a few days from house work and its a nerve wracking because one does not know what to expect. To me this is the worst part is waiting to see if it worked.

thank you dear!!!!

No discomfort after et?

bfrida profile image
bfridaβ€’ in reply tomargy7

Thank you dear, I feel a bit discomfort but I suppose it to be ok. As my nurse said, a bit of crampy is ok.

Honestly, I can't stand waiting and my 2www killing me

How are you? Do you have any good news to share?

Take my congrats!! You deserve to be happy through,

I wish I could be pregnant but not this time. my test has showed bfn, it's sad to accept my misery but I'll be strong any way!

I wish you to have bfp and safe pregnancy after all!!!! Take care dear!!!!

I'm sure you'll wait two weeks...

For me this period passed very fast...

I did a home test on my 6dp5dt and after I saw a faint line I relaxed and waited for my otd...

oh, yes! I have something to share....on Monday I'll have my ultrasound scan!! I finally will see my tiny little pearl. I'll write a post about it, so you follow my updates ha ha!!

bfrida profile image
bfridaβ€’ in reply tomargy7

haha, nice one reply!! Looking forward for your update on Monday!

Is it your first scan? You know you have to be prepared for it, did the doc tell you all details?

As for me, it would be the longest period in my life, I couldn't live a normal life knowing that there is a risk of failure...oh, sorry, no bad thoughts only positive ones.

Wish you good luck with Monday scan, will you post any pic of it?

My congatulations dear! Hope you would be enjoying every day of your pregnancy journey from now. That's amazing you've shared such detailed story of your egg transfer. I almost felt I was there with you while reading it. Looking forward your new updates.. only good news is accepted :)

bfrida profile image
bfridaβ€’ in reply tocrlnbr

THANK YOU VERY MUCH :)

I was reading lots of ladies have posted detailed stories and I decided why not. My journey is a hard challenge and sometimes it is difficult to deal with. Sometimes I feel lack of support and advices, that's why I done this thread. I don't know if it is useful but I hope some of ladies will find it useful for them.

Now, it's my 6 day after transfer and I feel a bit pregnant haha, or it is just my feelings

How did I miss this post bfrida?! Wonderful news! I'm half way through my meds at the mo... flying out for the rest of our donor egg IVF on 7 May. Reading this has come at the right point of me being impatient and struggling to believe I can even get to ET. Congratulations! I hope you're finding a balance of resting and enjoying this time. xx

bfrida profile image
bfridaβ€’ in reply toemu2016

It's not a time for rest haha, I'm feeling nervous at this moment. It seems like it is the hardest time ever, I don't want to be mistaken one more time, I don't want to stand my husband and myself up.

7 on May it's so close, my congrats you your next cycle!!! Wish you to have a positive result dear!!!!

oh that's so so lovely! I'm pleased to see donor egg IVF updates, really. I'm going to be in your place, if everything is alright, and it's so important to hear that someone is moving on! and 4 great embies! wow! I wish you healthy pregnancy honey. I hope my donor will be as fruitful as yours haha. Fingers crossed xx

PS. May I ask you about your womb lining? have you managed to make it thick enough for ET?

bfrida profile image
bfridaβ€’ in reply tomarsenan

Thank you very much for great words!!!

Hope and good is what I need right now! I want my little embies implant there!!!

oh, all donors are fruitful there, we were told that 15 is minimum for each donor, I suppose is to be great, so if you want to go there, you will be sure your donor donate more than 15 eggs haha.

Of course, I'm open to any question. My womb lining was 6mm but it was not enough for successful pregnancy. before et my lining was 12 mm, I know it is supposed to be perfect, but I still have doubts about positive result this time. And what about you?

marsenan profile image
marsenanβ€’ in reply tobfrida

that's great! the more good eggs the more chances I suppose. I think my young donor should be extremely fertile. at least much more than me.

+6mm! wow! would you mind if I ask you what did you take for it? mine is 5mm now and I've just started my pills and gel and i'm so nervous if it could be helpful at all. hope it will be.

why do you have doubts? how do you feel?

bfrida profile image
bfridaβ€’ in reply tomarsenan

As you said, she is young and healthy, so a lot of good eggs, I don't think clinic will take into a program not healthy donors..

No, I'm ok with your question. What kind of pills have you started, progynova right? How do you feel by the way, any bad side effects?

well, I have started as you with vits, and then just followed my protocol.

I doubt about positive result, I'm not sure if it works for me because my last one didn't work for me.

marsenan profile image
marsenanβ€’ in reply tobfrida

i'm praying for that. i heard about strict measures for taking donors into a program. like, they are not only healthy but they are mothers of healthy children of their own, with no c section only natural birth. you know, all the facts say that I have no reasons for worries. i wish it could be so easy to focus my attention on something else.

right! progynova, endometrin and divigel, a dr prescribed vitamin e, follic acid and aspirin. no side effects so far and actually no signs of drug effect.

oh i know what you mean. I think if I were you I would have been as doubtful. it's easy to say but try to think of this attempt in another way. you can't know what will be.

bfrida profile image
bfridaβ€’ in reply tomarsenan

I'm curious, do all your donors have open ids? You had an opportunity to choose them donors by yourself?

Lucky you, no side effects, I had runny nose, sneezing, sometimes back pain and headache, a bit of itching or of the genital area after taking my progynova.

I can't force myself to think positive, all my thoughts are about my future pregnancy (I suppose there is a chance of failure but I don't want it to be) and all my fingers and toes are crossed for it.

marsenan profile image
marsenanβ€’ in reply tobfrida

not really, they are anonymous but you have access to all needed information like age, health state of a donor and her family members. i was provided with a chance to see their photos and watched videos where girls are telling about themselves. thre were so many young women that I didn't know how to even choose a few of them.

gosh, I hope you'll be better soon. now i have new things to worry about haha

I know exactly what you mean, the same thing is happening to me. Fingers crossed for all of us xx

bfrida profile image
bfridaβ€’ in reply tomarsenan

It's always like that. This attempt didn't work for us and that's killing me.

I'm devastated and i don't know what to do. We were so excited knowing out little embies are inside me but no.. not this time and I suppose never ...

Just vent it out gurl . The world is an unfair place. For once don't care what people say , think or do. Just do what u want to do. We are all there for u. We love u . And d worst is after learning all ur life that if u study hard u get good results. But never did anyone prepare us that there will b things in life where u would give ur best but then u will fail. U will get up brush ur clothes study even harder and again we would fail with even worse marks. But all we have learned is we r warrior and won't give up. So gurl b crazy insane , heartbroken anything u want. 😘😘😘
