[Sandy83]

2 blasts transferred!! Yay!! Waiting for frostie report hoping for 2. We have 5 morulas still looking good.

Thats great news

 

[Sandy83]

MoBaby - congrats on being pupo!

HEY EOE - good luck with stims and monitoring.

AFM - Egg retrieval is done. They retrieved 12 which isn't as many as I wanted, but they said their goal is 8-12 so they are happy. I have bad veins so the iv took multiple attempts. Although I was awake during the procedure, it is quite a blur. My DH was awesome and supportive making me laugh during the procedure. Now he's making me dinner.

Thanks to everyone for all your positive thoughts. Hopefully the embabies are growing away!

Thats great have 12 eggs at ER, glad DH is supportive and looking after you. Cant wait to see how many fertilise and whether you have a 3 or 5 DT its all exciting

I've had 4 days of stims and I am really "feeling" my ovaries today. And by feeling I mean crampy! I have a clinic appointment this morning and hoping to see some follies. Wish me luck

 

[Sandy83]

Good Luck Lilly look forward to seeing your post later with the number of follies xx

 

[tlm]

Good luck Lilly!! I didn't feel anything until the end, hope you have lots of follicles!!

 

[LillyLove]

Eeek! Just got back from appointment and after 4 days of stimming:
Left ovary- 14mm, 13mm, 13mm, 10mm (5 follicles @10mm)
Right ovary- 13mm, 11mm, 10mm (4 follicles @10mm)

They said they didn't expect to see anything this early and that I am responding well. They expect the 10's to catch up and maybe even more to pop up. They had me cancel my appointment for tomorrow and come back Thursday. They will call me with my e2 level later.

Hope everyone has a great day and keeps comfortable!

 

[Sandy83]

Diliapickle, 15 is great wow ER on Sunday yay!

Lilly & Sandy, hope you get good news on Thursday & ER will be soon

You girls are doing great

tlm, I was looking into HCG #s too but you're right it can go either way. Some girls have really low #s. it's crazy how much they can vary. Are you having a sono on Thursday? Are you exhausted? Or feel shortness of breath? I feel so tired...like I could sleep the whole day. Especially when it's raining.

 

[Snowbunny]

Thanks, Sunshine. Surprisingly I feel great. A little bloated, but not too bad. I'm actually starting to get bored already...lol. I started watching True Blood and I love it, so that's keeping me occupied I think I'm going to go shopping tomorrow if I get a good call. I am needing some new Hunter rain boots.

Yep, will have u/s on Thursday and bw to check my hcg (I think) and progesterone! And yes I am exhausted! Have been napping every afternoon for about a week. Mornings are better right now. I have something similar to shortness of breath, I feel like I have spent all day at a water park, if that makes sense!? I also have had some cramps but those have gotten better. I have peed on every test I have and am considering getting more! Lol!! I also am peeing a lot and I have an obsession with checking the tp all the time because of the spotting I have had in the past, nothing yet though - thank GOD!! Oh and I have some watery cm which again makes methink that I am spotting so I have to check it all the time even when I don't have to pee! I am crazy!!!

How do you feel? I was reading on when ms starts and it seems like around 6 weeks!!

Lilly - those are great numbers!

Wow Dilia, that sounds great!! Are you uncomfortable? I always found after my u/s I was very tender for the rest of the day and I only had 9 follicles. So I can only imagine!
