symptoms

Thanks Liquorice - I have heard of one clinic called ARGC which has consistently high rates of success, especially where others have failed. But they are super expensive and have seriously high criteria needed to be treated by them (low FSH, within certain age bracket) to keep their success rates so high. Nevertheless we will go and see them to see how much it will cost and whether they will treat us.

There is another clinic that is recently getting great success rates with a process of freezing the embryos called vitrification. I wonder if this is where you mean or the other one? (the other one does test embryoas due to immnunity problems in the mother or father).

Anyway, we will see in a few months. Thanks for the tip! Congratulations on your scan resutl, too!

HKiegal - enjoy your holiday as much as possible before you start your FET - give yourself an even better chance of succeeding on your return!
 
Thank you MayC and good luck. It will be just fine, I feel it.
I asked you because I wanted to check, I think my fertility rate is even lower. First time I've put 3 embryos and none of them survived. Now, I hope I will put the 2 left and I really really hope....
Sorry everyone because, being so focused to ask questions (no one told me what are the steps this second time) I forgot to congrats you and to send you all my positive thoughts.
Liquorice, I am so happy for you and this must be a real special moment for your family: knowing that you'll have a boy, someone real and so wanted!
MayC, the same for you, hearing the heartbeat! I hope to have the chance to share with you one similar experience of mine...But, in the meantime, don't worry about anything. Don't worry if the doctor is not worried. You did it girl, and I don't think something could stop the positive evolution of you, your baby... You just did it, your daughterl will have soon a brother or sister. I hug you with all my heart!
hkiegal I really hope everything will go great and for us too!
kazbo good luck and try to see all the details of the problem, you still have time to inform yourself about everything. Everytime you see a new specialist or clinic, check on internet. All of them are parte of one group of thinking or another. I remember myself when I heart my doctor will do a 3 days embryo transfer. MayC with Dr. Ho did 5 days embryo transfer and I was so sad thinking that I was choosen the wrong doctor. After, I saw that the opinions about this are so different with so many pro and on arguments. And, of course, we had our group here to share experiences and opinions.
Splitting Snow how's going?
A big hug to all of you !!!!:lurking:
 
Hi Adrianna, if you count success rate vs number of embryos then mine was lower than May's as I transferred two each time and only 1 took - so 1 in 4 - but it still worked. But everybody is different and it isn't about the number of embryos so much as it is about the quality and whether they are chromosomally right. For me it is just that 3 of them weren't meant to be and that only 1 was. But nobody is to know this and it cannot be predicted. This is why my doctor refused to put 3 in for my FET - actually I asked him if he would and he said no because for all he knew all 3 might have taken. There is every reason why this could work for you this time. And Adrianna, my doctor did a 3 day embryo transfer too, not a 5 day. I'm praying that it will all work out very well for you. Keep thinking positively, we're all behind you!
 
hi all!

sorry i have not been writing lately but i do read the threads at night when i am able to..

happy to hear that everyone is well.. going on holiday, embarking on fet, getting ready for the next steps.. all so positive .

i am definitely showing a big sign of pregnancy now.. a huge belly in front of me! i had a scan 3 weeks ago and the Dr said it is a girl! we are happy! Now.. i am in my 15th weeks of pregnancy and will be going for our summer holiday soon.. cant wait to just do something different and out from hk for a change.

hugs
 
August Congratulations!!!! You will definitely enjoy your holiday!
Around 14-15 of July we too go on holiday, as a matter of fact, we go back (home) for one month. I hope instead of 2 to be 3 of us! I really hope so...
MayC, Liquorice, thank you for your support!
A big hug...
 
Hi MayC - I realised I didn't answer your earlier question. I found out the gender with my private doctor. I went and did all the blood tests and the oscar test privately as the public hospital hadn't given me my first appointment until I was into week 15. I was 13.5 weeks when I had the private scan and found out the sex.
 
same here .... i had an oscar test with dr lam and from the scan at 12 weeks.. apparently you are able to tell the sex by then.

i will be going private with dr ho at canossa hospital...
 
Hi girls, sorry i haven't logged on for a few days, work has been kinda crazy lately, which is good to keep my mind off my 2ww...hehe
it is so nice to log in and see that everyone is asking about me though, its soooo touching and makes me feel like i have a second family, to whom i can share the entire IF experience with. so thank you!
my 2ww hasn't been that bad actually, it helps that im not reading everything online to drive myself crazy and worry myself about everything that could go wrong or could make the IUI unsuccessful. i may do that if i get a BFN though, can't promise that i won't.
MayC: well, 1 week has past, no symptoms yet, i actually gave myself 2 shots this week, which im soooo proud of, can't believe i did that myself. it hurted a little when i tried to poke my belly with the needle, didn't go in easily. i kept thinking what if my egg didn't even get fertilized and heretrim injecting myself with more hormones....?!! anyways, so happy for you to hear the heartbeat, its great to be re-assured, isn't it? soon you will see the baby on the ultrasound, how exciting!!! try not to worry about the fluids, i heard that they do get absorbed inside the uterus.

Congrats Liquorice for your baby boy! and thanks for telling me that you're with Dr Lo also, really makes me feel more comfortable to know that, since most people are with Dr Ho here.

Also congrats to August! a sweet little girl is great! enjoy your summer vaca!

Adriana & Hkiegal: hang in there & keep your hopes up! it is happening soon, i hope both of your frozen embies stay healthy & get fertilized! and hope you will have good news for us soon! and enjoy your holidays as well! i don't think we will be going back to the US this summer, but hopefully will go somewhere local for a break. Hkiegal, i too will be going to Shanghai for the expo, probably in September though. hope its not too crowded for you there, and try to stay cool, i heard its real hot there now.

Kazbo: good luck on your research of clinics, picking the right place makes huge difference, glad you have time to do that now. i too am a big sushi fan, and grilled oysters, couple days ago my family went out to a Japanese restaurant, and i wanted the salmon sashimi soooo bad!
ohh..so sorry to hear that your dog didn't pass the test, what a bummer! hope you figure something out that would work.

alright, talk to you ladies soon!

Hi ladies,

I am supposed to do the HPT this Friday, 2 weeks post IUI, but just started reading about the hcg shots that I took before & after the IUI, they all said that it would give false positives, and people should wait at least 10 days before testing. But since I took 2 more shots last Monday & Friday, I would have to wait till Sunday or Monday (18 days post IUI) to test!!!
Does any of you know if this is true? I am so scared to test now, I can handle a BFN, but don't think I can handle a false BFP....
Dr Lo's office also told me I need to go in for some more shots to help my pregnancy if I get a BFP, but what if that's just from the drugs? I am soooo frustrated now, it is driving me crazy....>_<
I feel like not testing until Monday.
