[Phantom710]

Wow ladies thread explosion. Sorry I've not been on in a couple days!!!

Congrats Baby!!

and yay PUPO Sandy!

Sorry if I missed anyone

We have out 2nd U/S on Friday. I'm actually still really nervous. My sickness goes in and out so sometimes I have a horrible feeling they'll have stopped growing.

I think it may be because I had 4 friends on here (ones that were pregnant with me when I had my son) that were also pregnant with me this time, and they've all miscarried

Wow, ER day sounds quiet tough! Sometimes I wonder if the risk is worth it. What are the chances of infection... And sometimes I wonder if increasing the follicles during one cycle decreases chances of getting pregnant in the future. Sounds really complicated. I am so nervous about ER day also... I probably shouldn't post scary stories on this sight. However, the reason I'm so nervous is a professor, who I was close to, treated me like her own daughter. When I asked her why she didn't have children, she said she tried. She did IVF, back in the 70s and they infected her ovaries and she said that after the ivf they were so badly scarred, she didn't have any chance of getting pregnant. Well, I know that is a million years ago, but it sticks in my mind.

My other friend had numerous ivfs and she said on ER day she didn't go under. YIKES I think I would have to go under

Well Ladies good luck tomorrow!!!!!!

SAMs I see you've gotten lots of responses and as you can see all clinics are a bit different. There's no way I would want to be conscious for ER. MY second one especially was quite uncomfortable afterwards. I was not lucky enough to get any good drugs, just extra strength Tylenol! But once I got home and laid down it was better. It was the standing and trying to walk that was hard.
As for the transfer I'm pretty similar to Ali. But I was given a shot of versed to calm me down. I assume its pretty much the same, but man that stuff throws me for a loop. Don't get me wrong I'm very thankful for it cuz I'm VERY relaxed through the process. I too get a catheter right after to relieve the bladder. I always end up asking dh questions though cuz I feel very foggy about everything after the fact.

Ali, I think the timing sounds right. With FET's it seems late in the cycle but when the transfer happens its time for implantation to happen. It's exciting that you have a schedule and are getting started!

All my fellow Tomorrow testers, good luck for us!!

Sandy I'm glad you are feeling better and your pma is back!

Lotus transfer is almost here! That will be nice to be busy and keep your mind off of the tww. Goodbyes are always hard, but it sounds as though its only temporary. You'll be having a new adventure!

PHanton- silly question---- Your pregnant and the babies are a week apart? My friend had IUI.. She had triplets.. She said that the she got pregnant a second time with the second IUI..but I didn't or couldn't believe it to be possible??? is it?

Good luck to all the testers tomorrow. I can't wait to see how many more BFPs we will have.

Ali, it sounds like our REs are quite similar. I get Valium for ER and ET. The doc also told me that if I have to pee afterwards they will use a catheter so I don't have to get up.

ASM, 10 good looking follies today and my lining was "awesome" according to the nurse. ER on Friday. Of course, this is the point I got to the first time and my estradiol dropped so I never made it ER. So I'm super nervousness that will happen again. Yesterday my level was at 801, and last time I made it to only 620 before the drop so I hope that is a positive sign.

 

[Samsfan]

Mels- Good luck!!! will be praying for you. So you didn't get anesthesia at er last time?

Oh hun, don't let your Mind get the better of you. I've heard that symptoms can come and go, and that's just part of being pregnant. The good news is that you have your scan soon, so you can be reassured.

You and I got our BFP around the same time, so I can relate. I was sick for about 4 days last week and now am fine. Boobs aren't as sore as usual. But I keep telling myself that's normal. Likely next week we will feel something new that will go away too.

Try to keep your chin up and think positive thoughts.

 

[WannabeeMum]

Good luck to everyone testing tomorrow! Can't wait to hear all the positive results!!!

Ali - yay for getting started and no cysts! Those dates sound right if I look at the implantation chart my RE gave me for what happens after a 5day transfer.

Mells - great news! Good luck on Friday fx for you!

Samsfan - wow, that story about your professor is pretty scary. I've never heard of something like that happening. I'm sure the techniques and instruments have changed a lot so I don't think something like that is likely today. My RE prescribes antibiotics after ER to help prevent infection. I was sedated for both of my ERs and definitely would not want to be awake. They use conscious sedation so the risks are not as great as going under general anesthesia as you're not intubated and can breathe on your own.

Phantom - good luck on Friday! I'm sorry to hear about your friends . I'm sure that is weighing heavily on your heart.

 

[Samsfan]

Em- Yes it was a pretty scary story. It was definately before anyone did ivf so I keep saying that to myself. Did you experience pain afterwards?

Question - if this applies to you- how long did you try spontaneously before considering IVF?

My estradiol dropped before ER so it was converted to an IUI. I never actually had retrieval. But yes I would be under anesthesia.
