Donating embryos when you're 'older'

We're in our early 40s and had 5 embryos made when we were both 41. We got 5 very good quality embryos. We were successful with our baby boy on embryo 3. Because of our age, we've decided to just stick with one child. However, i'm now left wondering what to do with the remaining 2 frozen embryos. I ...

Re: November 2022

Hi Kmor how are you getting on? Has the sickness finally stopped? Congrats on having a boy - boys are amazing and everyone says easier than girls. Luca is nearly 6 months now! 😮 can't believe how big he is and we're due to start weaning in 2wks. I have 2 frozen embryos left and I've been wondering w...

Re: November 2022

Hi @kmor How are you getting on? I'd love to hear how everyone is getting on. Yes I occasionally check to see if anyone has any updates but it seems to have gone quiet. And i'm also not sure how much people want to hear about my progress as I can imagine it might be triggering to some. Everything's ...

Re: November 2022

@stargirl Not long for you to go now! Eek how exciting! How are you giving birth? I've opted for a planned c-section. Hip pain has just started for me, but it's being caused by sleeping on my side and the extra pressure caused by my extra weight. I've put a foam mattress topper on and that's sorted ...

Wow! It's crazy isn't it! I'm 25 weeks now. Are you feeling OK or do you have any aches/pains/heartburn....? I'm lucky I feel absolutely fine. I just have the odd day where my stomach feels like it's really stretching inside which makes me feel nauseous. Hey ladies, How are you all doing? I’m 30 wee...

@kim I'm so sorry to hear you only got one embryo and it didn't work. I'm as baffled as you as to why despite the extra treatment you were on you got less eggs and embryos. Makes no sense to me! And only comes back to the fact that IVF seems to be pot luck and there's still so much they don't know a...

Re: November 2022

Still feeling sick frustratingly. Had a few migraines too, my last one was Sunday and Monday and was 48 hrs of vomiting. I cant take my usual medication which gets rid of them in about 30 mins as it's aspirin based. If they keep happening I'll have to see if the Dr can give me anything. The nausea i...

@applecart Do you have your blood test results? @kmor How many embryos tested ok with the PGTA? Have you only lost one with the testing? And one that's a bit uncertain. My scan today was good 🙂 baby boy is fine in there and the midgut herniation has sorted itself out like they said it would. This is...

Re: November 2022

I get confused with all that but I started getting nausea about 5 days before my scan at Care. But my scan was a week later than they usually book because I was in Portugal. So I think that means I had the nausea in week 6? or would it be 5? Yes I think it will be the equivalent of the 12wk scan. It...

Re: November 2022

@applecart Thinking of you. I'm sure the aspirin won't have made any difference. And I wouldn't worry about having no symptoms yet. You're still very early. I don't think I had any symptoms until about week 5 or 6. When you get symptoms you'll be wishing you didn't have them believe me! I would glad...

@applecart Yay! Congratulations!!! Superb news. :D

I was an early tester too (from 6dpt). I wouldn't worry about the strength of the line, it just matters that it's there. Won't be long until your scan! :D

Re: November 2022

I'll be having one at 13 weeks. I'm not quite sure how the confusion happened. When I called it was to see if I could move the 12wk scan & blood test earlier so that's what I thought they'd done. Probably got confused with all the terminology. She called it IONA test but the last time I had it, ...

Went for a scan and blood test today at the hospital, which I thought was my 12 week one moved forward to 10 weeks, but it turns out it was just a dating scan and they thought I was having the private £405 IONA test. Anyway, in the end I did go for the IONA because I couldn't stand the thought of wa...
