Gorgeous profile picture, Lotus!!!
Sweetness: They are awesome! Such happy faces!
I've done 4 nights of stims so far. My ovaries are starting to ache! I'm hoping that's a good sign. I have 23 follicles as of yesterday, none big enough to measure.

Thank you, First! I don't know how to add pics, so changing my profile pic is all I could do. 
It sounds like your cycle is going well so far!!

I think you can hit "Go Advanced" and then click on the paperclip icon to attach a photo.
How are the first few weeks going? I remember them being quite overwhelming. It gets much easier!
Lotus - congratulations!! Troy is adorable! I had to supplement with formula at the very beginning too. I remember the lactation consultant in the hospital scaring me to death about it but it ended up being fine.
First - that's great your cycle sounds like it's starting off strong!
Sandy - hope you and your DH are doing well.
Ash - I just read your update. So excited for you about CCRM!
Sweetness - your boys are adorable!! I can't believe they are already a year old!

Hey Ladies 
Sorry haven't been on BNB much lately but been thinking of you all.
Thanks for asking about DH he is doing well had emergency surgery for an abscess about 4 weeks ago which made things a bit hectic but on a transplant side of things it seems to be going well. He had a PET scan just before xmas and has a bone marrow test tomorrow and hopefully have the results from the scan tomorrow also so fx'd.
On a TTC note we started a FET cycle in November and ET was due to be on 23rd Dec but neither embryo survived the thaw so cycle was cancelled was absolutely gutted but am ok now and just getting on with things. Probably put TTC on the back burner for now. Will still be checking up on you all and look forward to see how you all get on
Thinking of you all xx

Hi Ladies! How are you doing?
Sandy83 hope you are doing okay!
L4 hope that baby is starting to kick around for you!
AFM: I had ER today. The results were a little disappointing. I began the cycle with 35 follicles. Half of those were growing and were over 10mm and the others were lagging. On saturday 19 follicles were ready to go and the other 17 they counted were lagging behind. I blame this on a medication error. I was on a much higher dose before and this cycle they cut me down because my estrogen from the start was okay but my 48 hour level didnt double and they told me to continue the same amount. I should have questioned it but I followed the drs orders. Today they were able to collect 22 eggs. Unfortunately DH produced a sample and it contained zero sperm. A few hours later he did another with zero sperm. They had 4 frozen vials and were able to fertilize what were mature- 13 eggs. 5 eggs were not mature and 4 were degenerating already so they did not inject those. Tomorrow we should know fertilization results. I am a bit disappointed more were not collected since we started with so many and upset with myself for not speaking up when I thought changes should be made. This is the last IVF cycle DH and I will go through so these results are weighing heavily on my heart. I want a sibling for DS so bad and I am realizing I may not have that chance again. So please hope for us, pray for us that our 13 injected with ICSI will become something and we will have a couple to use at least. I hope everyone is doing okay!

Hey Mo! I was just thinking about you, wondering how things were going. I know it's so hard not to over analyze everything and doubt your decisions, especially when the stakes are so high. I'm sure the doctor had a reason to keep your dosing what it was. Quantity is not nearly as important as quality. I had 15 and 16 eggs(forget how many mature) for my fresh cycles and ended up with with 4blasts and 5blasts. So I'm going to keep everything crossed that you 4-6 blasts and most importantly one healthy little baby!
Afm, things are going pretty good. I am still anxiously awaiting to feel movement from this little munchkin. I felt my son very late...right around 20 weeks. And he didn't ever kick that much. So naturally it has me a little nervous for my next appt. thankfully I see the OB Wednesday so will get to hear the heartbeat. I'll feel better then.

Good luck, L4! I have a home Doppler, because I was neurotic during my pregnancy. But you are past the point of concern. Try to relax and I hope everything goes perfectly at your appointment tomorrow!
Mo: I know you're disappointed, but I think your chances are really good. I'm so glad they found some sperm! Looking forward to seeing your BFP
AFM, we retrieved 36 eggs, which resulted in 2 PGS normal embryos! (This is actually a great result, considering that the last batch of 18 eggs resulted in no normal embryos.) Transfer will be in early March. Fingers crossed.

We have 9 embryos! So fertilization was like expected. Keeping everything crossed for a few to make it. My re wants one transferred; I want two. It depends on how things look Saturday. If they say they will freeze one and transfer one (if we have 2) we will probably do that. If they won't freeze it/poor quality we will transfer 2. It's a hard decision. I should not carry twins with my uterus but I also want all the chances I can get.
I too have a doppler

Yep, it's a double-edged sword!
