Anyone doing FET/IVF in Jan 2013 till everyone's BFP (Everyone Welcome)

Super exciting Mo!

AFM - had my first u/s blood work at CCRM. 26 follicles growing, largest is 16mm, smallest is 6mm. My e2 is already pretty high which is not surprising for me, its always been in the 4000s in my previous cycles at trigger day. With so many follicles active how can it not be. They don't seem too concerned and I'm familiar with drinking a ton of fluids to make sure that I'm not getting OHSS. I'm really really excited at this point to get them out and see how they do in the lab.

Honey and I had a big decision to make today which was nerve wracking. We met with the geneticists and she said based on our family history, all of our numbers, and my age that doing CCS wasn't necessary even though we have had failed cycles in the past. She wasn't detering us from doing the CCS testing but just wanted us to be aware that they may all come back normal or most of them normal since everythig else looks good. So we had to make the decision whether or not to follow through with the CCS testing. We chose to still pay the money to do it because we've had the failures and we really want answers at this point. If we do the testing and most of them come back abnormal we know that there's a problem with my eggs that most likely there is nothing they can assist us with and at that point I'm ok with accepting that donor eggs is my way to have a child.

I've said it throughout my entire journey with infertility. The main goal for me is to experience pregnancy. That is my right as a woman and I will get to do that!

Sorry for the somewhat long post.
Hope everyone else is well.
 
It sounds like you had a great scan ash! Glad you decided to do the testing. If you don't do it and your cycle were to fail you would question the decision. I think knowing you are putting a genetically normal embryo back then you know you've done all you could do. Soundskke you will have plenty to retrieve too!
 
That is awesome you have a great attitude with all of this Ash! I think you are doing the right thing.

Have you ever gotten OHSS, because I know you make a ton of eggs.
 
ttc - I've never been hospitalized by it but I actually do think I've had OHSS. My doctor in NYC put me on medication because my estrogen was so high. He prescribed dostinex to bring it down I think ... it was a while ago so I don't remember all of the details. I do remember not being able to breathe well at times and just being so bloated! I'm doing much better this time around.

I had a scan today and this time they're actually expecting less eggs retrieved/mature. I have a ton of small ones but my bigger ones are between 19mm and 10mm. The nurse said she thinks they'll retrieve approx. 14 - 17 viable ones. I was bummed at first but I do think it's quality over quantity and I'm definitely getting different results this time around so it'll be interesting to see the outcome.

Trigger most likely tomorrow night and then retrieval on Sunday. Woohoo! I can't wait to see the retrieval and fert rate. The lab I hear kicks butt so it's all very exciting!
 
Ash that sounds great!! Yes quality over quantity. Sunday is soo soon!!

Afm here is the progression including today's (bottom) 6dpt. Less than 4 more sleeps until beta.

Excited for you Ash to see how you make out the next few days!!

Mo definitely looking good for your bfp!!
 
Ash - we did genetic testing and I'm a big proponent of it. The more info, the better. That will give you peace of mind either way. Good luck for Sunday!

Mo - that is a great progression!! Good luck for your beta!
 
Ash are you still set for Sunday?

Look at my digital ladies!! :happydance: 7dpt!

Mo - yay :happydance: So exciting for you! Things are looking great! Your beta is in 2 days right?!

AFM - I'm so irritated .... I'm not triggering tonight. Ugh! I was so excited to get these out because I'm starting to feel uncomfortable. The largest is 22 and the smallest that they think will have a viable egg in it at the time of retrieval is about 13mm. It makes sense to wait but the nurse seemed so sure that I would be set to go tonight. And my e2 is about 3,498 so that's .. really high and I might be getting OHSS again. I have been drinking a ton of electrolyte water though. Please keep your FX'd that everything is ready tomorrow and I can trigger tomorrow night for retrieval on Monday.
 
Mo - That is amazing!!! SO happy for you !

Ash - Sorry that you aren't able to trigger yet! FX you can tomorrow!!!
 
Ugh! My clinic waits until at least 3 lead folicles are over 18mm.. I don't remember if that's total or on each side. One more day will be good to let the smaller ones catch up but your e2 is going to be sky high again. Good thing is you're not transferring this cycle so ohss symptoms will be short lived. Keep drinking that electrolyte water.
 
Yay Mo!! Can't wait to see your beta!

Ash ugh sucks when you think it's going to happen and you get pushed back. Hopefully you get to trigger tonight and ohss stays away.
 
Retrieval tomorrow! Second trigger in an hour ... can't wait but now I've been obsessing that it's not going to work. I need to try to be positive.
 
Mo - yay congrats! Love those digitals!

Ash - It's definitely going to work!! Good luck for tomorrow!
 
Ash: how did things go today?? Hope you are doing okay after ER!

My beta came back @ 10dpt (15dpo); 609! We transferred only one.
