The 5 day blastocyst have better chance of implantation. I did not have ICSI.
we did also a 5day transfer (blastocyst)and ICSI!
Good luck!
I was on Follistim 300 and Menopur 150.
they thought I was a poor responder because of the Clomid cycle who did not go well.
Instead they retrieved 35 eggs.22 fertilized and I got 6 on day 5. 2 were transfered and 3 freezed.
My HCG level are positive now but I will not be quite until they do an US and I can see a heartbeat...
Good luck again and baby dust to you:)
So you will find out if you are pregnant from your ultrasound? Or do you already know?
I did Follistim pen last April. Did not have any side effects. Good luck
Oh great! I am also going to be doing follistim, menopur, and ganirilex! What doses were you on?
Mine-
Follistim- 200IU
Menopur-75IU
I am waiting for HCG on Thur, had 5day transfer on 13th.I usually do not get a lot of side effects, but with Follistim and menupur I noticed that my heart would be racing sometimes and I would have to sit and breath, some nausea, headache for first 2 days. But now I am taking only the progesterone in the hip, but maybe my mind is playing tricks because out of nowhere I would feel a ***** by my belly button which is where the follistim was given, strange isn't it? I started with 100units, 175 then to 200units. Did not have follistim for 2days before retreival as the ovaries might have overstimulated. Retrieved 22eggs, 13 fertilized. 8 reached blastocyst stage, but only transfered 1 because of didelphis uterus, froze 7. I used to think that the injections are painfull and worried about side effects, but all is ok now, I don't fear as much anymore.Good luck to u.
Miky72- I hope you see a heartbeat soon. Good luck to you!
Tima- Good luck with your hcg, I can't wait to get my first few shots done with so I can know what I'm getting myself into.
Is the blastocyt stage when they wait until day 5? If so, that is what my doctor said we will probably do. We are also doing ICSI.
Sorry...I meant January 2007 ;))
Hey!
I did my 1st IVF cycle in January 2006 and I'm waiting now for my U/S on Saturday.
You do not have to worry.I did not have any of the side effect for the Follistim.I was on Follistim and Menopur and then ganirelix (antagonist cycle).I thought the side effects were really low in comparison with Clomid.
Are you going to use the Follistim pen?It really make things a lot easier.
Good luck
