Calling all RMA Ladies (1st page updates)

hmmm, I guess once they trigger them, they will be outta there?

Blue - that could be good news that you have an opportunity to remove them before fet. Once the embryos are in there, there's not much they can do for the cysts. Let's hope it is all good news going forward.

Daisy - GL with all the decisions. Do you need 8 eggs or 8 embies to qualify? They may not do icsi on all of the mature eggs i found out, just the best ones. I had 13 eggs and they did icsi on 10 and 7 fertilized but my dh had a low sperm count so maybe that's why. FX all goes well & your baby will come out of all of this stress.

 

[DaisyQ]

Thanks Marie. We need 8 mature eggs to qualify for the study. Interesting about the ICSI - I will ask about that tomorrow...

 

[BlueStorm]

Jchic - I don't know but that makes sense

Just got the call, well actually message b\c I missed the call. I can start I guess my E2 was good, I don't know the number since I couldn't ask but it must be fine if they are letting me start. Phew.

[jchic]

woohoo! Yeah blue!!!! Blue, what was your protocol? Was it Lupron or Estrogen?

 

[DaisyQ]

I think Blue did long lupron...

Blue - who did your retrieval??

 

[BlueStorm]

Yup I was on long lupron. Thanks I am happy I can start again!

Daisy - I was so lucky to have my own re Dr. Bohrer do my retrieval. Love him

 

[BlueStorm]

Daisy Good LUCK tomorrow. I can't Wait to hear your report!!

 

[DaisyQ]

Thank you. Nervous.

So I'm 11dpiui today and I still haven't tested, I was in NJ visiting with family since Wednesday and it really helped the time pass and I'm so happy it did It's been a very relaxing TWW but now my period is due in 3 days but I have a concern.

Normally, in the past I would ovulate around CD 13-15 and this time they didn't let me trigger and ovulate until CD 18 so my question is ... because I ovulated later will that push my period back ... like should I still expect my period in 3 days or should I push it back a couple of days....? Any ideas on it or advice is welcome since I'm at a loss right now.

 

[DaisyQ]

Ash, whatever your luteal phase was should be about the same. So if you normally get AF 14 days after trigger, you should expect it at 14 days past trigger this time too.

 

[DaisyQ]

Oh I never updated in here! 12 eggs retrieved, 11 fertilized. Will not hear anything else until wednesday.

 

[ashknowsbest]

Thanks daisy and congrats on getting 11 fertilized eggs!

AFM- I tested this morning and it was bfn. I tested with a FRER and and IC so I'm pretty sure I'm out. Uhm, I'll be starting the IVF process once I get my period and I'm expecting that to be here by Wednesday hopefully! I'm sad to be moving onto IVF but happy at the same time, I have lots of mixed feelings. I'm very nervous about ER but excited about ET. Uhm ... I'm just a wreck right now.

 

[BlueStorm]

ash - It's still a little early so maybe you still have a chance. I understand how you feel about IVF, I was the same. Don't be nervous about ER. I was so freaked out for no reason. It really isn't bad.

 

[BlueStorm]

Had a lining check today and I am already at 8. I am surprised I thought it would take much longer then that for my lining to thicken up. Anyway they told me I will up my dosage to 2mg twice a day. I was hoping not to b\c I have been very dissy and I think its from the estrace. Oh well, hopefully will get more info when my nurse calls later.

Hope you all had a good weekend.

 

[ashknowsbest]

Blue - thanks for being optimistic but I can't be positive right now .. I'm just sick of the let downs. IVF it is and it's good to hear that it wasn't that bad! Being sedated freaks me out but at this point ... doing another IUI would be worthless so I need to try IVF.

 

[DaisyQ]

I was really nervous for ER too, but it wasn't bad at all. I was OUT for the whole thing, but woke up 5-10 minutes after it was done. I was sore that day, and a tiny bit sore the next day, but today I feel totally fine.

 

[ashknowsbest]

Good to know! I figured it must not be that bad since women get it done all of the time ... I'm just being a big baby

 

[jchic]

Ash - you will be fine during ER honey, dont worry!
