Lucky 8 ball - start of frozen embryo transfer - Long term TTC & infertility

06/04/2009 at 10:43

Some of you may remember the story of loosing our first baby after long term TTC and a particularly bumpy IVF cycle where I ended up with hyperstimulation syndrome. Original post below.

The time has come !!!! We have initiated our frozen blastocyst transfer with the unit. I start taking the down regulation drugs on the 21st of this month followed by a hormone cocktail. We have a possible embryo transfer date of May 19th. We only have to pay for it know ARGH!!!

I calucated my due date I KNOW I KNOW hopelessly optimistic and guess what!!!!!!

It would be my husbands birthday 2010 and if you see the post below we got our first ever BFP on his birthday this year! Number symmetry here and feeling like it is a hopeful sign

Will let you know of our progress and how much I turn into Captain Moodswing this time. Will need special postive vibes for the tranfer day as our little snow baby might not survive the thaw meaning we will have gone through the drugs, the hope and pots of money without even a two week wait.

FIngers crossed
XXXXXXX

My dear ladies

Thank you for everything the results today suggest 100% that the baby is not developing and a miscarriage is inevitable. It sounds so funny to say you 'lost' a baby like a glove or a pencilcase or something.

It saddens me to think how many of you, and others I know ,have gone through this.

However I remember a quote which said 'life should be measured not by the number of breaths that you draw but only by the moments that took your breath away'

As many of you know it was a bright clean blue day which happened to be my husbands birthday. Beautiful and unusual in that it was snowing on a Cornish beach. We took photos as momentos to show the baby they day moment that we became a family. It was like carrying around the most amazing secret. I wondered if anyone could tell (apart from the fact I looked nauseous).

This day was really perfect and took our breath away and I have reflected a lot but would rather have seen the elusive positive lines and been a mum. Even if is was for only a few weeks.

My husband seems a little better today. I have realised that he was also worrying about the bleeding. last year I had a massive heamorrage after surgery (not PG related) at home and fell unconcious rushed to hospital and was really poorly. He thought there was a risk of that - but I have managed to reassure him.

You ladies have been unelievable. We are both overwhelmed by the help and support here it has really helped to illuminate a dark time.

I have made an appointment for discussion on March 9th, which is soothing as we will again have a plan, I need to get some first hand information on how likely the procedure is to work.

The only thing is the clinic have not really said anythign about the MC so I might leap over to the MC forum. Its horrid having morning sickness and no living bub......

Blastocyst number 8 has been doing backstroke in liquid nitrogen. It sounds loopy but I didn;t like to think of it in the cold. Thought microscopic mittens might be in order so at least we get to retreive it.

So the future is loose a few pounds and regain fitness (no exercise due toOHSS then threatened miscarriage) and activate project snow baby number 8.

You are very special ladies thank you -
