Thanks Lola. I start my stimulation shots tonight. 225 Follistim

will i should be testing early may ...

I went in for a U/S today and my ovaries are back to normal from the last cycle of IUI . I am trying injectables this around. I am on Gonal F 75Units. I will start that tonight until monday night, I go in Tuesday for another U/S to see how my eggs are reacting to the shots (hopeful they will be right on track), then I guess after my U/S my Dr will tell me the next step I am thinking they may do the IUI toward the end of April, so I would test like the second week of May .

Howdy mrsbuckeye09. It looks like we are neighbors. I live in Ohio also. I also started my shots last night but I go for an u/s and b/w on Monday morning. It looks like we might be on the same schedule except you are doing IUI and I am doing IVF.

Baby to you...


We are going to do IVF next round, if this round doesn't work!.

so sorry

Let's hope it doesn't come to that mrsbuckeye. Hoping for your BFP this cycle.

AFM- I am on second night of shots. I dialed up my pen and stuck it in and to look down after and realize I didn't have enough marked. So I had to take it out and redial and do it again. I definitely have to pay attention next time but I was at my brother's house for family night so I was trying to hurry up before anyone came bursting into the one bathroom in the house.

Our Beta is 4/18

had our remaining 3 blasts Xfered 4/9 (4th try , 2nd FET) BCP/Lupron overlap protocol

uber faint BFP on a IC stick 4DP5DT
tried a Clear blue digi stick on 5DP5DT and got a positive (after a super long wait)
todays 6DP5DT is a clear positive-- no squinting required! EDD is 12/25 if we are blessed with one (we are hoping for one)

now i wait for beta day and hopefully fantastically doubling numbers! ive never been able to be this happy and encouraged for any of my transfers, so im not sure what to do with myself!

Denise, as for testing everyday, if you get negatives, you will get depressed-- uncontrollable. what i decided this time was to test each day after 3DPT. but put them immediately into the pouch again after and not look. i had PLANNED to only look after my beta( hoping for positive) because id like some sort of thing to put in a baby book at some point . it actually worked well... for 3 days. hah

i was bored early saturday morning and looked at mine. but if you can hang on and look after or the morning of your beta ( to prepare yourself) it may be helpful.

i just know when i tested daily, each time i saw negative i was tortured until my next day of testing ( which for me, was negative again, over and over and over)
either way, i always take a digital test the morning of my betas. i need to be prepared when i walk in for what ill get. and if it is positive, im always cautious.

since you are doing a retrieval after a trigger, you may want to test the trigger out of your system. for some it is super fast, for others it takes a full 12-14 days to leave. it can skew results. and i just looked at your dates, and it looks like youve already had your tests done! so never mind all of that!

Hi Ladies...just wondering if anyone has any advice or knowledge for me regarding my upcoming cycle. Babydreams my 3rd iui failed so you can add that if you wish. I had 3 follicles all on my left, but no takers.For this cycle I went in for my follicle scan on day 11 after clomid days 3-7 and had 2 follicles one on each side measuring 12 and 13. She said they were a little on the small side but I am also a late ovulator usually not getting a positive on the smiley face clear blue untill day 15 or 16. So I am going back in tomorrow for another scan to check on them. My estrogen came back at 189. Which she told me is good and that something is brewing in there...I sure hope so. Can anyone tell me if these follicles are okay??? I'm kind of worried as this is our last cycle that we can afford and I want to make it as optimal as possible. We switched donors this time so hoping that will be the trick. The last 3 cycles were all done with the same. Anyways if anyone has anything they can chim in I would appreciate it!!! Thanks Ladies!!! Baby Dust to all!!!

dde3 - was wondering what was going on with you...The follicles sound like they are growing, they have time yet - it's good they are not rushing things. I think your ways off from triggering. Your estrogen sounds great though, so I think you will know a lot more after your next scan. You can steal my DH's song that he made up when I was a slow responder "hey hey, ho ho, listen follies you've got to grow!" - lol, it worked! I ended up with 16 the firsst cycle and 20 the 2nd! Fx'd, your just a bit of a slow responder.

dde - I am a "slow" responder too - on clomid I never ovulated till around day 16 so you have lots of time for them to grow! And I'm on an IVF cycle now and I'm on day 10 of stim's and I will stim today and tomorrow so again ... slow. But what is more important is that they are all growing at the same rate so as long as you have a few that are around the same size that is what is important
