Calling all RMA Ladies (1st page updates)

[jchic]

Hi ladies!

How is everyone? Jersey and Daisy - we are cycled up, yay!
Went for my scan this AM....had 1 17mm, 1 16mm, 1 13mm, 2 12mm and 6 under 10.
I have to go back tomorrow, so hoping IUI's will be Thurs and Fri. My doctor was the one that was monitoring me today, and she said some are looking ready to pop, so we should be good.

Marie, how are you?

 

[DaisyQ]

Wooohoo! I love having cycle buddies. This is all sounding very good Jess!

 

[jerseygirl412]

Keeping fingers, toes, and everything crossed for us girls!!
First IUI went well today, DH;s count after the wash was 54 million with motilitiy, RE was the one doing the IUI today, she said she was more than trilled with those numbers, now on to the 2nd IUI tomorrow!
Daisy~~ I'm guessing the injectables speed things up, because normally I don't ovulate until the 15th or 16th day of my cycle. That's what has me a little worried, but I know there was one egg that was 20mm yesterday among the other 3 that weren't as big

Hoping that you get your IUI's soon too I definitely need to be in good company during the dreaded 2ww

 

[jchic]

NICE! Glad it went well Jersey!
RMA called and they want me to drop my injection level from 150 to 100 for tonight as the eggies are growing really good. Tomorrow AM, scan and b/w with possible trigger shot. Then IUI is looking like Thurs and Fri! WOOP!

YAY!!! Jchic!!! That's awesome!!!

 

[jchic]

Its crazy that they do the IUIs so early in the cycle b/c the injections speed things up! On a side note, the injections have given me hella headaches and bruises on both sides on my tummy....YUCK!

 

[DaisyQ]

Wow, this is all very exciting!!! Can't wait for my scan. Can definitely feel both ovaries. I've been doing opks, and the one this morning was markedly darker than yesterdays (but still negative. Good thing my scan is tomorrow and dh gets back from chicago today!

 

[jchic]

YAY! That is awesome news Daisy! I am so lazy these past few days and tired from the move that I have ZERO desire to have sex....gotta get over that for tonight though, LOL

 

[jerseygirl412]

I'm so excited for all of us!!!

Jchic, I didn't get anything from the Gonal F, just the Ovidrel, and if it's like last month, I'll be feeling pregnant tomorrow

Daisy, hope your scan goes well tomorrow!!

 

[jchic]

I have never taken the ovidrel, so I am curious to how I will react to it!

 

[DaisyQ]

It made me constipated. And I was very bloated, but I think that was also from ovulating. That was it really. I think I also had some frequent urination at night.

 

[jerseygirl412]

Ovidrel, I had swollen bbs, and cramping, and tired, but the tiredness is more than likely having to get up so early to have all the monitoring done I know the RE said not to take a pregnancy test because you will get a false negative while the Ovidrel's in your system. I'm hoping for no effects from last night's shot.

Good luck Jchic maybe you won't have any side effects at all

 

[marie44]

Jchic - Lots of follies, that is great! I had 5 mature follies for 2 of my IUIs and I noticed some cramping when I started ov from having a lot of eggs + the ovidrel. Not anything you can't handle though.

Jersey - Sounds like a great count for dh! That is only going to help your chances. I had all of my IUIs on CD11 & I have a pretty regular 28 day cycle so it seemed early but I think that is the norm. With my IVF (being on injectibles) it was CD10. The meds cause the eggs to grow faster than a regular cycle.

Daisy - Glad dh will make it home in time. He is definitely needed for this

AFM - Nothing new, I'm waiting to do u/s & bw on Thursday. I feel so lucky to be pg and I am grateful for every minute of it. I think it will be 2 more weeks until they can detect the baby's hb, then I will feel a lot more at ease. I hope you all get here soon. It is such an amazing feeling!

 

[jerseygirl412]

Thanks Marie

I'm so excited for you!! Please let us know how you make out on Thursday!!

 

[jchic]

I am SO excited for you Marie! YAY!

 

[DaisyQ]

Marie! I can't wait to find out if you are having one or two!!

 

[marie44]

Daisy - I think I can find out in 2-3 weeks but if my bw comes back really high again Thursday, it might be an indication of twins. DH insists we are having 2 girls. I really don't know where he comes up with his theories since he knows little to nothing about this whole process but he is cracking me up.

 

[DaisyQ]

Aww, that's awesome. Got to love men!!

When I first started with infertility treatments (clomid), I was terrified at the prospect of having twins, but now I don't even care. I'll take 2 at the same time if that's what's offered! Two is better than none!

 

[jchic]

HI Ladies! So I just got back from my appt with the RE (scan and b/w) and got to see my doc again (who I love - Dr. Jamie Morris) since she was the one monitoring both yesterday and today. I will be triggering tonight. She did say that I had ALOT of eggs that would be released. Definitely 3-4 with a possibility of 6 since total since 2 additional eggies look like they will be ready tomorrow as well.
She also mentioned that although my endometrioma cyst has not grown or changed, she is leaning more on the side of removing it prior to our IVF cycle next time. The reason for this is I have never been officially diagnosed with endo, and she wants to make sure its not something else like cancer (which she assures me it is highly unlikely) but she wants to be safe. She said the cyst is not the concern for her, since its stable, its just making sure its not something else.
Tomorrow IUI at 5:45am! These early AM's are killing me

How is everyone today?

 

[BlueStorm]

Wow Jchic that is super early! I'm so excited for you!!

Hope everyone else is doing well, just popping in to say HI but have to fly, ughh work is killing me!!
