PCOS (Polycystic ovarian syndrome) is a syndrome, not a disease. This means that it is reversible. Although PCOS is a very popular diagnosis this decade, it is not yet completely understood. One thing we do know: it responds very well to natural treatment. First off, do not be too quick to accept a diagnosis. PCOS is a hormonal condition, not a problem with the ovaries. Ultrasound is NOT enough to diagnose PCOS. 25% of perfectly normal women display polycystic ovaries at one time or other (1). A subsequent ultrasound will show it to be normal again. True PCOS involves hormone irregularities that must be picked up with blood test. Hi here is a little information on PCOS i found.

Last time i had lots of huge follies, but overstimed and got 11 crap quality eggs.
This time i am doing a 'short cycle' and it seems to be taking forever! Im in day 9 i have an army of follies again, sized 17mm and under. Im having a 4th u/s on mon!! Im so scared my FS is going to overbake them.
So my question is..... does anyone remember the size of their follies b4 they were to trigger? And how was the quality of say big ones verse smaller ones.

Was wondering if anyone could recommend a FS in melbourne who specialises in women who are over 40? Or at the very least doesn't turn them away... A friend recently sought the help of a FS only to be told "due to your age it's a less than 2% chance of conception so we won't try IVF" and won't treat her :(

TIA

When the FCS rang me to tell me about my Embo's,she said aft my EC.I had 6e. 2 made it to Blast stage. The others, she said didnt divide quite enough?? so does that mean i still could have had them tranferred??, as i been reading that some people have had ET on 2 & 3days emby's.. I didnt realy ask anything, as it was my first IVF & not sure we just trust what the FSC says, should I ask whats happened to the others as, just went ahead with 2 blast ones,( as you know has turned out to be a BFN:redface:,) just feeling confused and wondering should Have i ask them to save the others, do I make sense! im not sure anymore!:rolleyes:

We find ourselves in the realm of IVF/PGD as we are proving to be a particularly "stubborn" case of "unexplained infertility". It seems that the next step for us is to try PGD to see whether that will give us any answers about why our 6 transfers have failed.

We have 4 fertilised embryos from our most recent cycle and are trying to decide whether that is enough to justify spending the $2,500 for PGD. We got 9 day 5 blasts first time round so 4 fertilised is a bit of a disappointment for us. We don't suspect any genetic disorders, we're simply searching for answers for the lack of success. It is not critical that we do the PGD but we feel it is the next step.

We have the option of freezing this batch and doing another collection to get enough for it to be "worth" testing. I guess we have the luxury that we can still transfer an unscreened embryo? What should we do? What is the minimum/normal number of embryos that people in our situation have had tested?

Thanks in advance for any comments. ]]> Long Term Assisted Conception on tra_k http://www.bellybelly.com.au/forums/long-term-assisted-conception/115825-pgd-not-pgd-question.html http://www.bellybelly.com.au/forums/long-term-assisted-conception/115817-help.html Wed, 04 Nov 2009 12:16:01 GMT Hi girls, new to this and not sure if i should post here or TWW.

I dont think she actually does IVF, but ICSI?? She had her eggs taken out, hubbys deposit, mixed them, and she only got 3 out of 11.

One was implanted, and is now my 2 yr old niece, one didn't make it, and one was "ok". This is the frozen one!!

Sydney IVF have told her 1 in 10 don't make it past being thawed out....:cry:

I do know thats stats dont mean much, and she has the chance to go either way, but do frostie bubs have the same success rate as fresh??

She got her daughter on her second attempt.
She went through it all the first time, and only got one "ok" one, that didn't take.
This one is from the second attempt. I dont think she will do it all again, the needles, collecting, cost etc, so praying SO hard little frostie makes it next month.....:pray: ]]> Long Term Assisted Conception Pretty Butterfly http://www.bellybelly.com.au/forums/long-term-assisted-conception/115320-how-successful-frostie-bubs.html http://www.bellybelly.com.au/forums/long-term-assisted-conception/114714-how-much-does-ivf-cost-vic.html Fri, 23 Oct 2009 07:04:55 GMT I want to prepare myself if we can't conceive naturally - we've only seriously been trying for about three months so it's early stages but at my age I'm probably only going to keep trying for another few months before I get checked out etc.
