. Any thoughts??

Last trigger I took one everyday to watch it leave my system, so I had peace of mind that after that it would be a true reading. I too am a POAS addict. Doubt there will be any break from testing every day since it takes 6-7 days and I usually start testing 8dpo on non-iui months.

Hi! I am ivf #1 and start stims today, but I don't know any definite dates yet for testing. Let's say it's going to be around April 25th, and I can change that date later when I will know for sure. You can see my story on my siggy.

I will be 40 in May, and I'm afraid, the end of the road might be near for us. We have already invested over $55K...depleted our savings account and now tapping into our 401Ks.....
*sigh*

Prayers and blessings needed on this end, and of course, sent to all of you.

Sorry to hear the end may be near. I hope this is this is the last cycle you ever need to worry about it!! How many follies did you have? Were your post wash counts good?

Hi

I think you are in good company - plenty of POAS addicts here, including myself. I tested out the triggers on my last two IVF cycles. It helps to pass the time ya know? Good luck! When will you start (or did you start) stimming?

So glad to hear others have tested it out. I have been scouring the boards and oddly haven't seen to many girls testing it out. I thought there was something I didn't know.

Thanks for the insight!! Great numbers BTW!!! doing the

for you! DH's last s/a was 9mil and we haven't even seen them at post wash yet. Go you guys!!

Thanks for the welcome!! I am so excited I will not be the only one testing it out. I had the same thing in mind about passing the time. I really don't know how those ladies that wait till their OTD to find out. More power to them, cuz I certainly couldn't do it! Today is day 4 of stimming

Menopur 4vials/day with lupron 10units. Good luck to you too girl!!!

babydrms~ I had 18 mature follies and my E2 was 1450. Pre-wash count was 97 millions and post-wash was 37 millions with 3.5 motility.
I had a very agressive and long protocol (almost 3 weeks)- at this point, I would welcome twins or even triplets, hence why the doctor was so aggressive with the meds.

Wow, 18 is a lot of follies - sounds more like an IVF cycle than IUI. Best of luck to you!

No, since they upped my Clomid, they are gonna wait to see if it alone helped. I get my blood drawn on Friday. So FXd for good numbers there too and that

next week. My husband and I are both military and he actually leaves tomorrow to be stationed at another base. This was our last "fresh" chance. We froze just in case, but hoping we dont have to use it. If I can get preggers I can get out of the military early, otherwise, its 2.5 years apart until my enlistments up

Holy crap! I would be thinking multiples also with that many follies. That would almost scare me! I mean, the more babies, the merrier, but I hope its no more than 3 for your health and the babies, ya know!? Either way. Good Luck and STICKY BEAN(S)!!
