Yesterday morning I had my ET. 9 out of the 10 embryos reached the blast stage and we had 3 beautiful embryos were transferred back to their rightful home (my uterus). We signed up for cryopreservation so the rest of our embies will be frozen for future use. I am so freaking excited it is unbelievable. ![]() Of course I am on bed and chair rest for the next 48 hours. Hubby has to do the cooking, cleaning and I'm enjoying every minute of it. ![]() ![]() I also started my Estradiol and Prenatal Plus pills today. My only problem now is the size of my ovaries and the pain they are causing me. My RE says they will go back to their normal size in about 2-3 weeks, I'm like WTF?? they are pressing down on my bladder and causing me to run to the bathroom every 30 mins. He did say that the meds i was on for stimming was what caused the ovaries to be enlarged so they could produce good viable follicles/eggs. Alls well that ends well. I'm letting go and letting God take control now. If all 3 embies decide to stay, then I will have triplets but it's all in God's hands. 13 Likes |

I came across this thread by accident and reading it really hit me deep at what some people go through for something that so many take forgranted. From the bottom of my heart I salute you all, your strength and determination and I pray that there will be shouts of joy in all of your households soon. I am excited for those of you who have started the journey and exited for those who are doing it the natural way too because God is everywhere and forever faithful. He will not let any of you down. Amen. I commend your husband’s because they are good men and they will all surely be rewarded for their patience and support; so are the ladies too going through the same. You are all strong women but the God that I serve is stronger than us all put together and I know that he can perform any feat and I know and believe that this thread will not just be a source of strength for many but will have a happy ending for all Amen. Lots of kisses to you all. ![]() ![]() 4 Likes |

Congrats dear, for 9 out of 10 to get to blast, whaoooo, I'm short of words. The egg quality must have been very good, probably due to the drugs they used and also the weather over there. Congrats! this crinone 8% gel is not used here. At least all the centres I've used and others I made enquiries, none of them seem to use them. I really don't mind these drugs if I have to go through the path of IVF again. Then that estradiol stuff you talked about, how is it used? pls I need the names of all the drugs you were given after ER and how they are used and also the dosage. Like I said I've done 4 IVFs with no success, I really don't mind trying something new even if it means going against doc's prescription. Congrats O and rest enough in preparation for your triplets cos I have faith and believe all 3 will implant. 3 Likes 1 Share |

Rust2000: [b]I would suggest taking the names of these meds to your doc and have him or her research it before prescribing it for you. A lot of us going through IVF have different antagonist protocols prescribed to us. I know of a few women that started with Lupron which is a longer antagonist protocol but my doc started me off with BCPs. After ER, I was put on Medrol which is a kind of steroid used primarily for ICSI procedures. My doc says it is used to prepare the uterus so that it won't reject the embryos when they are transferred. I was on this for 5 days. The other medication I was told to start 2 days after ER was the Crinone 8% gel. It is a gel like substance in a tube like pen which you insert into the vajay-jay ( ![]() I am also on Estrace (Estradiol) pills 2wice a day. I started taking it a day after my ET. My doc says that while we are stimming, our estrogen levels are usually so high from all the follicles we produce and so what happens is that after ER, the estrogen level drops dramatically and when that happens our uterus could get "unhappy" and my doc wants me to have a "happy uterus". ![]() ![]() The last pill I'm taking is the prenatal plus. Every woman TTCing should be on prenatal vitamins anyway without any doctor telling them. These are the only meds I'm taking since ER. Let me know if u have any other questions. Try going online and looking up these medications and find out if they are sold in neighboring countries like Ghana if they are not sold in Nigeria. If you are in London, I'm pretty sure they'll have them there but again, bear in mind that you will need a prescription from your doctor for all of them except the prenatal vitamins which is sold OTC (over the counter).

Well, like you said, will have to cross-check with my Doc cos the drugs are much! I'm in the Uk presently for 2 weeks and the drugs are there but u were right can't any drugs without prescription and moreover I'm not starting the procedure now till December that is if I don't get a bfp naturally before then. Will be in houston next month for an official assignment, If you can send me the name of your clinic, really don't mind making enquiries about their price just to see if its something I can afford ![]() |

I read all these posts with utter admiration for Psalm 23 and all those that support her and her husband. I have nothing else to say but to say that Psalm 23 is one lady with b.a.l.l.s I pray that God will crown all your efforts with success. I am visiting a friend who had a visitor from Nigeria with a similar case, she conceived after 14 years. Psalm 23, God has already given you all your heart desires, stay focused and believe in Him totally while reaching out to possess your possession. God will make you smile, you will walk with your shoulders held high, you will carry your own bundle of joy, you will live up to God's purpose for your life. Remember, you are wonderfully made, God will make all things new in His time. God bless you and give you the courage to travel this road, AMEN 2 Likes |

One of the best thread on NL. No insults, no screaming, etc People finally being normal and supportive. Isn't this what we all crave for? @Pslm23 pls let us know when the babies come so we can send lil gifts and cards, Somehow we have to hook up via FB or email, but we will definitely hook up. Greetings to Oga, that is how men should be, always being supportive of their wives no matter what. To every other woman out there, GOD will see you through and no there is absolutely nothing wrong with this. NB: Something funny though. A friend of mine in Europe tried this for so long and spent so much money, finally when nothing happened she gave up. She started went on diet to lose weight and bought all the skimpy dresses to rock the summer, then she fell sick and went to the hospital where she was told she was Pregnant!, Her baby is about a year now, ![]() ![]() 9 Likes |

My dear you are really brave. I had4 miscarriages with before I sought doctors help cos they normally dont do much for you with miscarriages until you've had two or 3. So I went to the gyno and I was told 1 of my tubes was blocked, I had uterine subseptum,and I think some cysts too and a small fibroid. and I was also sent with my hubby to run genetic tests. We were praying that all will be solved before matter of big money treatment arise cos we had no insurance to cover such high cost medicals. As God would have it I got preggers again (note I wasn't having problem conceiving it was keeping the embryo for 9 months that was the problem) Anyways to cut long story short The doctor tried to help us even though it was stupid of us not to have waited to see what the problem was that was causing me to miscarry. She prescribed progesterone injection I think once in 3 days for a week or two then changed it to progesterone tablet one 2x a day for the next 12 weeks. With prayers fear and hope I carried my first born till 40weeks and 3 days and had him through CS he was 4.2kg. Now I recently had a baby girl I also was placed on progesterone she was born at 39 weeks 5 days a healthy 3.9kg I wish you all TTCers good luck and I hope you have 2wns and 3plets at once. 8 Likes |

I could have done this thing for you here without injection or side effects, simple thing that I have done for several women is what you are spending all that money on, ![]() Anyways!! My dear I really glad that you are taking the bull by the horn!! A lot of women in Nigeria who are having similar issues are running from one church to the other looking for devine intervention that rarely ever comes and in the end most of never get pregnant. I wish you well dear and this thread will be very educational and helpful to those women who may be considering it but are too scared or dont know how to, I'll stay tuned to this and follow your progress, Infact, I'll offer a sacrifice on your behalf for the gods to grant you favour in your endeavour, 1 Like 1 Share |
