Re: How long after failed cycle should I expect AF?

[quote user="charliecats"] My AF after stopping PIO was like about 6 days after my *non-transfer* day. The next AF took almost 40 days to come, with ovulation being 10 days later than normal, and AF about 10 days later than normal. Does that help? [/quote] Same for me!  My next AF was about 36 days (and I am ALWAYS 28 days exactly).  Makes it so hard to wait. HTH!!

Re: MS Consult tomorrow morning - Questions

Yeah!  One step closer.  I didn't really ask many questions- just listened...  I knew so much from IG that I didn't really have any questions.  Good luck- how exciting!!

Re: Question High tech

Actually, I'm doing this.  I asked for a spefic date in January so my kids will still be on vacation.  I'll go on BCP soon and then they just work backward from the ER date- so I think it can be done.  Obviously, you would have to have all your pre-testing done first and the week that you are visiting would have to be a week when they are doing sorts...   Good luck!! ...

Re: If it weren't for this website.....

I don't think so. I found IG when I was researching Microsort. I had read an article about MS and saved it for years until we were ready for another baby. I definitely know I wouldn't have ever tried PGD if it weren't for IG. I remember when I first read about it I thought- these women are crazy and here I am!!

Re: Blast rates for over 35 yrs old?

[quote user="JenB"] has anyone been told what the implantation or birth rates are for each blast (one blast and/or two blasts) transferred for over 35 yr olds? [/quote] Well, I don't know if this helps... I'll be 35 when I cycle again and Dr. P told me on Tuesday- 45-50% chance of one blast implanting and 60-65% chance for two.  I don't know how that changes when you hit the 38-40+ m...

Re: I Trigger Tonight!!

Thinking about you Steffani... My ER was easy- like Michaela said- it felt like a nice nap. We drove to N. California the same day with no problems- I just napped in the car!  Good luck!  Can't wait to hear how many eggies you get.  I think you'll have a nice surprise!!

Re: Pippi How was Your Consult with Dr. P

[quote user="MommyTwingle"] But I thought you said he told you 45-65%? [/quote] No. 45-65% of an embryo implanting depending on number of embies that you have to transfer and quality of those embryos.  80% chance of having a least one embryo to transfer...  As for the Metformin- I don't think he's worried about egg quality- but just how many eggies we can get!!  We have sperm...

Re: Pippi How was Your Consult with Dr. P

[quote user="MommyTwingle"]  Those sound like some unbelievable odds! [/quote] Really?  Isn't that the same, basically, as saying 35-45% chance of a cycle working?  I think those odds are about right based on surveys on this board. It's so good to hear about this protocol working for others- thanks for the encouragement!  I'm excited to be posting again and looking forwar...

Re: ER Results VS. Ultrasound Results

Steffani, I checked my results and when I triggered my E2 was about 1900 and I had 12 eggs retrieved- so I think you'll be fine.  If you have seven and do MS- you'll have a girl (or girls) to transfer, I'm sure of it.  Good luck!!!  I wouldn't worry about quality- my egg quality was fine despite extra days of stimming- those were two beautiful little (boy) embies- or so he said...

Re: Pippi How was Your Consult with Dr. P

Thank you all for thinking about me!!  I had my consult yesterday with Dr. P.  It went better than I expected.  Right after my failed cycle, I asked what he would do differently for my next cycle and he had said nothing, just up the stims from day 1.  The more I thought about it, the more I wondered if I was over-supressed from the BCP/Lupron combo. As some of you know- when I ...

Re: Steffani - Lots of Luck today!

Steffani- Thanks for thinking of me.  I think you're doing great. I would've been perfectly happy with my 6 eggs if I had used MS.  Unfortunately, we can't, so I need more eggies!!  I think you'll be fine and I'm so glad you decided to go ahead with it.  I'll check in with you tomorrow after my consult!

Re: Cancel Cycle or Change to IUI

[quote user="steffani"] When is your consult? Are you going to cycle again soon? [/quote] Steffani, Thanks for your answers. I don't get it... I keep hoping that things will go smoothly if I start out at 450/150, but I know that it might not change anything.  I have a consult scheduled for Tuesday and I'm planning on January to cycle again.  Good luck and keep us posted.  My f...

Re: Cancel Cycle or Change to IUI

Hey Steffani- I've been following your story because I completely relate!!   Well, I think I would go through with the IVF, but that is just my opinion.  Did you start stimming this cycle on 450/150?  I've been wondering if I oversupress on the BCP/Lupron combo also.  I have a consult with Dr. P coming up to discuss that.  Good luck on your decision!!
