IVF Journey

[Tezzabell86]

Hi everyone

My name is Terri and I’m 31. Me and my Fiancé have been ttc for just over two years with no success of pregnancy. So in January 2017 we decided to both get checked out. So after a number of blood tests turns out that I have a low AMH level for my age. My fiancé test came back fine. Whilst I lost the weight I needed to get my bmi under 30 I was doing the clomid cycle for a couple of months. Turned out that the days of egg release was delayed (day 17 month 1, day 19 month 2) and I wasn’t ovulating either. So our only option now was ivf. So started the ivf treatment on the 21st of October. Had my egg collection on the 6th of November where they managed to collect 7 eggs. They managed to fertilise 4 of them and the embryo transfer is the 11th of November. Feeling excited and little nervous

Good luck Terri! I have a very similar story to you and am on my first round of ivf. ET was yesterday, so we’ll be very close cycle buddies! X

[Tezzabell86 in reply to Hopeandwishes]

Thank you Hopeandwishes. And wishing all the luck in the world for success. And we can be close cycle buddies. I will add you xx

[WaywardGirl]

Good luck! I had my EC yesterday and am currently waiting for the call to find out if any have fertilised...

[Tezzabell86 in reply to WaywardGirl]

Wishing you luck. It’s an agonising wait. Always here to talk if you need a chat and thank you xx

[WaywardGirl in reply to Tezzabell86]

7 fertilised! So relieved!

[Tezzabell86 in reply to WaywardGirl]

That’s amazing bet you are so relieved. How many eggs did they manage to get from the EC. When’s the ET? We’re going to be very close in cycles xx

[WaywardGirl in reply to Tezzabell86]

We had 9 eggs but they were unable to tell us at the time how many were mature enough for fertilisation. When they called this morning they said the did ICSI on all 9 and the two that aren’t fertilised are ‘doing something’ so they’ll check them again. Depending on how many make it to Sunday, ET will be on day 3 (Sunday) or day 5 (Tuesday), so very close!

[Tezzabell86 in reply to WaywardGirl]

Wow that’s amazing news I’m so happy for you. I bet you are both over the moon with that. Exciting times ahead xxx

Welcome to the forum! I had a similar experience with clomid in that it didn’t cause me to ovulate either. Wishing you lots of luck for ET, it’s not as bad as you imagine and is over pretty quick. Enjoy the magic of watching your little embryo being put back where it belongs xx

[Tezzabell86 in reply to E_05]

I’m excited definitely. It’s just going to be an agonising two weeks to see if it has worked. Thank you xxx

[E_05 in reply to Tezzabell86]

Definitely the tww is hard but if you have things to look forward to during it, it kind of helps. Good luck xx

[Tezzabell86]

It was tough experience but I’m glad I did it. My first cycle of IVF started on the 21st of October 2017 and I got pregnant from that cycle (first cycle) I’m now currently 33 weeks and 6 days pregnant with a boy. Due date is the 2nd of August 2018. I’m so glad that it worked first time as none of the other embryos weren’t viable to freeze. Xx

[Tezzabell86]

I’m getting really excited now. Finally finished work and I can use the time to get things ready for the baby xxx

[Tezzabell86]

We started getting things when I was about 19 weeks pregnant and we knew once we had our 20 week scan. We are having a boy and we knew straight away because he showed us his nappy region first as the midwife put it lol. It still feels surreal but I’m excited as well xx

[Hidden]

Hey there. It's really exciting. I can feel the happiness. Get ready to hold a baby in your arms. Keep us updated further. You will be going to a mother soon. Good luck. Lots of love and prayer.

[Tezzabell86 in reply to Hidden]

Thank you. I am getting ready. I’ve booked in to be induced on due date if he hasn’t arrived by then. Thank you xx

[tessablue]

hey there! I hope you are doing great. IVF is a great process. although a little painful. but you should be aware of the right clinic because most of them are fraud. they are under experienced people trying to run a business. so whenever going for any health issue look for a good and trusted clinic. I hope your journey goes successfully.

[Tezzabell86 in reply to tessablue]

My journey had gone successfully I’m 34 weeks pregnant. I trusted my clinic and they were amazing xx

[Tezzabell86]

I am extremely excited. Had a safe pregnancy so far xx

[Tezzabell86]

I certainly will post pictures when he is born. I wasn’t fussy what I had as long as they were healthy. Xx

[Tezzabell86]

Thank you xx

Hey there. Hope you are doing great. IVF is a indeed a good process. It is letting others to get benefit. I hope every thing goes as planned. Fingers crossed for you. Hope to hear good news. Keep us updated. All the best dear.
