Donor egg IVF update

Hello my fellow IVF warriors, it's finally time for an update. Our amazing anonymous egg donor had 10 mature eggs retrieved yesterday, all of which were fertilised. Now we wait until we get the final embryo numbers being put in the freezer (Wednesday or Thursday). That's the highest fertilisation rate we've had so far (this is round 4), and I'm wondering if it's thanks to using a sperm sorting technique called microfluidic chip that apparently is great when there's high DNA fragmentation. But could also be due to my BF being a good boy and severely reducing his caffeine intake and cycling and general exercise volume over last few months. I think he'll be celebrating by having copious amounts of coffee today and planning his next 150+ km bike ride. 😂

Will you get a Day 3 and Day 5 update, or only Day 5? I’m on the edge of my seat!!

Christina, 2022 is definitely going to be your year!!! So exciting. And congrats on your hubby making a few changes ahead of the sperm retrieval :) 10 fertilized eggs with a donor is fantastic. Yay!!!!

Lovely ladies, I've just had a call from our clinic with an embryo update. *Drum roll* We'll have to wait until tomorrow to get an update on most of them (what a great start, already behaving like my partner, who's seldomly on time 🤣🤣🤣). But jokes aside, I'm absolutely shuffled as usually at least half of ours stop developing before day 5. Currently 6(!!!) are still going, and 4 have traveled to the freezer already as day 5 blastocysts (2x AA, 1x AB, 1x BB). ❄️❄️❄️❄️ There's soooooo much potential already for a successful transfer, and even a successful pregnancy. 💕💕💕💕

That’s fantastic I’m so excited for you 💕

Oh👏🏽my👏🏽God!! I am literally crying the happiest tears for you. 4 beautifully graded embryos and the other 6 still going?!? EVERY SINGLE EMBRYO. Truly still 10 chances!!!

Crying for real over here. My gosh do you deserve this!!!! 😘✨😘✨😘✨😘

(Makeup free and need my roots done 🤣🤣)

OMGGGGGGGGG THIS IS AMAZING !!!!!!! 😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭

I can’t wait to leave 2021 behind !!!! WE GOT THIS !!!!!!!! ✨✨✨

Wow wow wow!!! That’s fantastic news ❤️❤️❤️

Such great news! I’m so happy for you 😊

Happy happy New Year beautiful ladies 🌼. May this year brings you all the happiness and your dream comes true.

I've got an urgent appointment with my Dr next week but I can't wait that long. Can someone eitheir be honest with me (I know there's lots of medical professionals on here, myself included) or reassure me. I'm in peices rn 😭💔

Family of 4 seriously contemplating emigrating to Australia from
UK

Hello, myself and my husband have been wanting to emigrate to Australia for a while and we have recently just had our second child. We are wanting to know if anyone has experienced it on here and if anyone has any pointers ect 🙂

Pcos secondary infertility?

Hi ladies, I have pcos and after a year of trying we did two round of Letro and got pregnant. Per the pre sticks ( which ik aren’t always accurate for pcos but have gotten progesterone checked at day 21 and have been around 10 before Letro and like 18 after Letro) I have always ovulated.

I’m on my third round of Letro and it’s day 25 and still no ovulation. I’m kind of just spiraling that I am extra broken now and will never be able to get pregnant again. Anyone else go through this? 😭

Period…

My period returned about 3 months ago but it’s so unpredictable😭 My tracker app says 5 days late… but yesterday and today I’ve had ovulation pain/aching and lots of clear discharge (TMI sorry!)
I don’t want to be buying a pregnancy test every month🤣🤣
I’m breastfeeding, so it makes sense that my hormones are just all over the place…
Just seems weird to be ovulating now!!

Positive?

The line came up straight away, is it a positive or an evap or am I just seeing things ?

I’m so confused! Please help

Yes I am delulu but I can see a very faint line in all of these tests apart from the bottom one. But these were taken between 8-11dpo & no change. I think I’m probably not pregnant but why are they positive?! All lines were apparent within the timeframe.
I had a mmc in January & have had one period since.
Please help!
