Had my first u/s today - I've only been stimming for 3 days so seems a bit early but I just do what they tell me. So had 11 follies starting to grow - with one giant one at 10mm already. The others were all relatively the same size and off to a nice start.

yay hockey sounds like a great start
praying this is your cycle

 

[crystal443]

Hockey- that sounds like its going to be a great cycle

 

[noasaint]

Hockey, sounds like your follies are looking good!! Hopefully those others catch up soon and you can trigger soon.

How are you feeling Sarah?

I was the same way on stims, felt pretty good especially in the beginning. The Crinone made me super exhausted but after about 5 days and starting Vivelle dots I'm feeling much better with some energy. Got a faint BFP 8dp3dt and it was darker today at 9dp3dt. Beta is Friday and I just want it here already. Actually I want beta #2 to be here already which I am assuming will be Monday.

 

[sarahincanada]

noasaint wow congrats and I know that feeling, I couldnt wait till 2nd beta, 1st ultrasound, 2nd trimester etc etc! Im feeling great thanks for asking. praying for a sticky bean(s) for you

hockey when do you go back for another scan. hope the bfps on this thread continue with yours

crystal your chart is looking good, have you tested? praying for you too

 

[hockey24]

2nd u/s this morning after 6 days of stimming. At least 13 follicles but they seem to be growing in 2 groups. One group is at the 13/14mm range and the other group is at the 7/8mm range. Little disappointing.

Will get blood tests back this afternoon and talk to nurse about next steps. I'll be curious what their thoughts are.

 

[sarahincanada]

hockey how many are in each group? hoping the smaller ones catch up, I see that quite often. how long are they predicting you will stim for?

omg crystal after saying your chart looks good I see you have a bfp...thats amazing, hoping this is your sticky bean

 

[hockey24]

I'll have to ask the nurse when she calls how many in each group. Looked like about 6 in the high range and 7 in the low range. I hope a few of those small ones get a burst and catch up.

Not sure how long I will stim. I'm using a clinic out of Chicago but I do my monitoring local so I can't ask any questions when I'm at my appointments since they don't make any of the decisions. I'm hoping to get a better idea this afternoon so I can time my trip to Chicago right.

Crystal - I don't know how to read those charts very well but is that what it looks like?

 

[hockey24]

Sarah - your profile pic is amazing!

 

[sarahincanada]

thanks hockey! I will post the series on here, I dont think anyone will mind as I am a IVF success story after many failures

I was annoyed this week though, my midwife was telling me about counting kicks after 28 weeks, as 'IVF babies and women your age do have a higher incidence of losses'. I was just finally getting to think that this is actually happening and she went and said that

 

[sarahincanada]

also heres some of his room if anyone is interested
we did it neutral as hoping my frosties will give us another bub one day
we back onto conservation with deer and wildlife viewings everyday
the crib will go in the middle of the tree but for now he will be in a bassinette in our room

Me neither hehe

I'm good. Went to see a new OB/GYN today and she is awesome. Really happy to have a new doctor. Seems very positive about trying to conceive too. She told me she just delivered a 46 your old woman's baby last week, natural conception by the way. She felt she had to clarify that that is not the norm but the fact of the matter is it does happen

 

[hockey24]
