Any ladies starting ivf in april !!!! ??????

[FutureMommie]

I don't exactly know what the high estrogen numbers mean, I guess its normal to have elevate levels with the injections, hopefully I will have more answers tomorrow.

bma11 hi the 17th will come round so quick....time is flying by for me i thought it would drag....i was really overwhelmed and nervous but once u get your medication and schedual u will get excited i was nervous doing my first shot i was shaking not good when your trying to inject yourself for the first time lol...but after a few goes u get the knack.

2have4kids-- Hey Cetrotide I believe it's something to stop premature ovulation. I'm not sure what burselin/suprefact is.
And I'm so excited I'm only to be on BCP for 11 days! I'm so impatient!

Ahhh. I love that you booked a trip! You will be pregnant!!!

Futuremommie- high levels of e2 during stims are good. Follies produce e2 .They usually go into the thousands jusdt before ER sounds like you are responding nicely
2have4kids- I was on menopur last time at 375iu. I'm still feeling fine, I had a hot flush last night which isn't a good sign and I haven't felt any twings around the ovaries since a day ago. I'm not sure what it all means I just hope for 1 follicle to grow right now. Yep the puregon pen doesn't go up to600iu so i have to inject wind up and inject again. I haven't started on the ogalutran injection yet but when i do it will be 3 injections!! I feel so emotional with one day happy and excited and the next all doom and gloom. Currently feeling anxious waiting for the phone call from the clinic with today's results. The nurse said if it still is a continuous slow rise then doctors tend to add another med into the mix in hope it speeds things up. Injections aren't that bad really, once you get past the initial one it's quite easy from there on ward. How are you going? Have you started yet? What meds are you on and what dosage? Are you on the short or long protocol?

I got the call, my cycle got cancelled again.
Hubby and i decided to take a break from everything and go down the donor egg path maybe at the end of the year.
It's a very sad day

[FutureMommie]

The news wasn't that great but we are still hopeful. I had the scan but the dr still couldn't see my left ovary well. It also looks like I only have about 4 follicles. He said their could be more but he thinks the fibroids are casting shadows which makes it harder to see. He said he wants to scan me again Monday with a full bladder to see if he can get a better view. Of course I was disappointed with my response to the meds. He said that if their aren't more that 4 follicles then he would recommend triggering and doing an iui. The risk of not retrieving the eggs or the eggs not fertilizing or if they fertilize not making it to transfer isn't worth risking all the money. He would like for there to be 5 or more they are sz 12,12,15,17 he says more than likely I will trigger on Monday. He said my uterine cavity looks good, the fibroids I have are located in the wall. So now we are waiting until Monday. They will do a vaginal and an abdominal scan, he said they will do everything they can to see my ovary.

I didn't meltdown like I normally do I just decided I'm tired of worrying if God is going to do this for us he will do it whether it's iui, IVF or naturally.
