Gabie - dont worry too much, they will start to pop up I am sure. What dosage are you on and of what?

 

[Gabie20]

Follistim
CD 3-6 50iu
CD 7-9 75iu
CD 10,11 upped to 100iu
They started low because my old RE started me at 150iu... and by CD 16 I had 10 follies in each ovary all above 17.... major over stim....

 

[jchic]

Are you doing an IUI cycle or an IVF cycle? Ok got it, so slow and steady will win the race for you. Hang in there! When is your next monitoring?

 

[Gabie20]

I'm doing an IUI, next step is IVF.... I go in Friday....

 

[Poms Mom]

will do

Gabie20..my first go around i around my cycle was about CD 30 before i actually responded to the meds..andi overstimmed! is this your first cycle? It's so trying but you get to know your body going through all this and how you respond.

may i ask why ur are having issues TTC?

 

[Poms Mom]

Poms - yes, beta is your HCG blood test. Excited for you!

thanks..hopefully so and my HPT tests arent steering me wrong!

 

[Gabie20]

Poms- this is my 3rd IUI cycle, my first with RMA.... I have PCOS and IR, I don't ovulate on my own :/

which office do you go to? what is IR? i too have PCOS and seem to have had it always. i used gonal F for my stim cycle and it was ok. not sure how follistim is different. RMA's procedures are pretty straightforward and they take their time and if they dont, you must demand it. i am on my 2nd cycle no IUI--normal BD with help of FsH shots.

very frustrating but stay positive.

girls, i hope you guys don't mind me joining

So here,s my little intro. I am 23 and having trouble getting pregnant again, i have one child, he is 4.5 now. We are trying for 2.5 yrs with no luck, 5 Clomid n 1 femara cycles all , i have just done Pre Screening in RMA with Dr. Morris,, she is great, i have Hperprolactinemia and PCOS (non IR), DH SA came back perfect, SIS was perfect (except for i have sharp angled Uterus), so we are having a follow up appointment with Dr.morris on 24th..

I am really happy to see soooo many BFPs here, many many congrats to all preggo ladies and fingers crossed for others, i really hope we all will get our BFPs soon.

 

[jchic]

Welcome Missy! Alot of us on here have had and do have Dr. Morris, she is AWESOME! You totally are in good hands! Your appt on the 24th, is it to review options/protocols? If you have any questions let us know! What RMA location do you monitor at? BEST OF LUCK TO YOU!!!!

Thank you so much for a warm welcome
Yes we will be discussing options/protocols, excited yet very nervous at the same time, i have no idea what will be my next step, i am going to Morristown office as its near to Dh's office, 15 mins drive from home just, and i see you are carrying TWINS!!! grow babies groww..

 

[jchic]

Missy, you will definitely get tons of info during your appt, and Dr. Morris is really thorough, so ask as many questions (even ones you feel are silly, I had a whole list) and she will answer them. IVF seems overwhelming, but honestly, I felt anyway, that at RMA its wonderful because you are in such good care. The day to day changes with IVF, so come on here if you need support or help throughout your cycle.

YEP! We put back in 2, and got 2 so we are excited. I am sure you are going to follow, so dont worry!

I also went to the Morristown location. Suggestion - if you have to monitor on weekends, get there EARLY because it gets SUPER packed!

 

[MissyMaddy]

Thank you so much Jchic, i'll keep you posted.
So happy to join this forum finally after been a previous lurker *cough*

 

[Gabie20]

Welcome Missy I'm new too, so I don't know how much help I can be but good luck!!

Poms- IR is insulin resistant

 

[Spoiledangel]

Well ladies it been a rough few days for me turns out my aches and pains which i thought were normal after ER was moderate to severe OHSS so I think my little embies were trying to tell me something... My ovaries were so big they were touching one was actually 102mm x 86mm, pockets of fluid, leg cramps horrible, today on ultrasound they seem to finally be going down and I feel a bit better......Dr. Rybak was actually in today which made me feel better he even gave me my embie grades which my nurse wouldn't give me we have 2AA's, 2AB's & 1BB which made all this pain worth it so far

 

[jchic]

Oh no! OHSS is awful I have heard. drink TONS of gatorade and water and eat loads of salty stuff, that will also help with the OHSS. Hoping it goes down. Will they be able to do a fresh transfer b/c of the OHSS or will it be an FET?

 

[Gabie20]

Spoiled- I am so sorry!! Lots and Lots of Gatorade!! Take it easy and rest, feet up!

 

[Spoiledangel]

Jchic I was converted to a freeze all, I was so upset but now I see it as my embies were trying to tell me something, I read where if you get a BFP with OHSS it can last past 1st trimester!!! There is no way I could endure that 12+ weeks, we are doing the FET this coming cycle, but I was in limbo since monday as when I asked the nurse about grading she said she doesn't have that information, I was so worried they weren't good.

Thanks Diana, it was Horrible but feeling a little better today, I told Margy the phlebotomist at englewood I would rather go through 36 hours of labor again than go through OHSS again after this you should have seen her face lol

 

[MissyMaddy]

Spoiled, i am so sorry, feel better soon. praying for you n your embies!

Gabie, thanks, wish you all the best for IUI, i guess i will be doing iui too next month. how is it going?

jchic.. Thanks for being here, just for us.
