Sweetness - congrats on being PUPO! Very exciting!

Mo - Yay! That's great news!

L4 - Thanks for your support. I've missed seeing your updates. I'm glad to hear you're doing well and wow, 31 weeks already?! Time is flying. Fx for your placenta check next week.

Sweet - congrats on being PUPO! 75% chance is great Best of luck

Mo - May 22nd is coming up quick. I'm also counting down the days til the 22nd. That's when DH and I start our mini vacay to San Diego before heading to Colorado for our cycle! Best of luck for your transfer, fx'd for a successful outcome!

AFM - I have 1 more day of BCPs, a u/s on the 20th and I start the stims on the 21st is everything looks good. Meds are ordered ... I'm all set to go and can't wait to get it over with.

 

[MoBaby]

Ash everything will start happening fast!!! Fx for your cycle. Did you decide when to transfer yet?

Question for PIO ladies. What size needle did you use? My nurse gave me a 22 gauge but last time it hurt so I wanted to muse 25 gauge but nurse said it would be slow coming out. I don't care if it's slow; I just don't want to be in a lot of pain.

Sweet did you hear about how many frosties you have?

 

[ashknowsbest]

Mo - I'm pretty sure I used the 22 to draw up the meds but the 25 to inject. I agree with you, I don't care if it takes longer, I want to not feel like I have a huge hole in my butt from the shot.

We're still a tad bit on the fence about when to transfer but I have time to decide so I'm not trying to rush the decision. We found out in December that my DH's father has stage 4 esophageal cancer so we feel that transferring sooner would be better so that his father could at least know that we got pregnant before we lost him but we also don't want to make our decision just based on his father's health. And of course our trip to Europe next year, we really still want to take that but this is not even a sure thing that the transfer is going to work.

I was also thinking that based on my other cycles, I've only ever had 2 - 3 embryos left by day 5 and if that's the case again this time and they both come back genetically abnormal I don't want to have had a plan. Maybe that's stupid but I'm just trying to protect my emotions I guess.

I also wanted to mention that because my results for the protein beta 3 that is necessary for successful implantation of an embryo I have to be on depot lupron for 2 months prior to transfer so I calculated everything the other day. If we go forward right away I wouldn't be able to get the transfer done until October of this year anyways so ... soonest would be October either way.

I'm so confused about what to do with the transfer.

 

[MoBaby]

Okay; well you have time to decide. When is your trip next year? You would be looking At August delivery so you could still go if you won't be too far along/uncomfortable. Def some tough decisions. I bet ccrm gives you more embryos. I have always imagined doing a cycle there if we ever decided to do it again but no way I could swing it with work. I had a patient this week who I did a hsg on who is going to ccrm and they have some fantastic work and drs and labs and protocols. So hopefully you'll have a bunch. I'm like you too; bunch of eggs and a couple embryos. Except the last 2 cycles we did end up with 4-5 frozen somehow.
I think we will try the 25 Sunday nigjt. If it's too hard to inject we can switch over. I don't want my behind to feel like it was punched out if I don't need to.

 

[Sweetness_87]

Hey question ladies I took 2500 units of hcg mon. When do you think it will be out of my system?? I think it was 2500 that or 5000. Anyway what you ladies think

 

[Em260]

Mo - I used 22 to inject. The nurses told me the same thing about it being hard to get out but I'd rather take a little more effort and less pain.

Ash - great idea to take a vacay before you start your cycle. I love San Diego it's so pretty there. I agree with Mo, you could easily take a trip to Europe earlier in your pregnancy. You have plenty of time to decide and lots of options.

Sweetness - I remember googling that question when I did IUI but I found that triggers last longer for me. I think it depends on how you metabolize everything. Best way to know is to test it out and when it starts getting darker you know it's your bfp

 

[Sweetness_87]

Think I'm gunna drink a lot of water like a 2 liter starting today and flush it out quick

 

[MoBaby]

Sweetness I did 2 x 2500 hcg boosters. It took 8 days from the second one to be gone. 2500 takes 6-8 days to go away.

 

[Sweetness_87]

Ok ladies so not sure which was to think.... I think either 2500 or 5000 hcg Monday the 11th and have been drinking a lot of water the last two days. Here are my two tests, guess maybe tomorrow we shall see

 

[MoBaby]

sweet its way to early yet. if you took the hcg on the 11th I wouldnt trust the test until the 18th unless the line starts to darken. i had pretty dark lines until 5-6 days after the 2500 hcg. but hopefully after 5-6dpt they start to darken. Fx for you!

 

[Sweetness_87]

Well here is my today's and I didn't hold my urine as long for this test. Let's pray it cont to get dark. I'm 4dp5dt and pretty sure my hcg should be almost all gone

 

[L4hope]

Sweet, hope it continues to get darker for you!

Mo, only a couple more days till transfer!!!

Em, I know I've been quite the bnb slacker lately. I'll get on my journal today and update. I'm so excited you'll be starting for #2 soon and can't wait to cheer you on.

Ash, enjoy your little vacation on the way to CO. HOpefully this will be just what you need to get your bfp!

 

[MoBaby]

Fx for you sweet!!

I survived my first pio shot... I'm sore this morning. But I'm sure I can deal with this if it means a hethy baby

Transfer friday!!

 

[L4hope]

Yay Mo!! PIO really sucks but is totally worth it. I had to do it twice a day with Tre up to 10 weeks. No fun at all, but I think after a few weeks my butt just got used to it!
