I hope not induce, I'm only 25 weeks. And I'm hoping no bedrest b/c I had planned on financially working up until my due date. We just bought a new Moreno so I need to work. My husband alone can't take over our bills.

Ya for sure too soon.Maybe you could just go to light duty or something and still work.

 

[Blackbarbie04]

Take my 3 hours glucose test tomorrow!!! Wish me the best and put me in your prayers!!!

 

[Ellie Bean]

I went for my lab and US greatest and she said I have approximately 25 eggs that are all about 11-12mm. I go back Sun for more lab and US...she kept me at the same dose but tonight and tomorrow I have to take ganirelix to keep me from ovulating going for retrieval Tuesday or Wed.

Hi everyone I'm a newbie looking for buddies. I currently take Clomid and metformin for pcos. I'm so very nervous and trying to stay calm. I have a question for the women that are monitored by a doctor during your cycles, do you use OPK's to confirm ovulation or should I wait for the doctor to confirm will be ovulation soon? And if you do use an OPK which brand is the most reliable?

 

[Ellie Bean]

Hi Buttercup! I used clear blue digital ovulation kits...not the advanced...they seemed to work well otherwise I just took my bbt and used the fertility friend app to help monitor too. I've also got PCOS and taking metformin but my husband had some male factor infertility do we're doing ivf.

I went today and I'm ready for my trigger shot tonight and egg retrieval scheduled for Tuesday...eek I'm so excited! Really praying they're all mature and the majority of them fertilize. Then we send them off for PGS testing.

 

[Buttercup77]

Hi EllieBean!!

Thanks for the suggestion! I'm currently on my first round of Clomid, cd10 and barely feeling any side effects and praying that it working. We were considering ivf but decided to start with Clomid since RE said my baseline bw looked good and I might need a little push with monitoring. I just have to stay calm and remain positive!

Wow, that's awesome news!! Wishing you lots of luck and that your BFP comes very soon!! There are some strong women here and it helps knowing I'm not alone

 

[Blackbarbie04]

Hey Buttercup,
I would say use ovulation test so that you know when to DTD!!! With this BFP I actually didn't have any side effects until the day of ovulation this go around so if I would have waited until then it would have been too late. But, I actually had my + on my ovulation kit 2 days before ovulation.

AFM!!!!!!!!!!!!

When my tablet charge up I will upload my photos of baby Kenzie!!!!!

 

[Buttercup77]

Hi BlackBarbie04!

Thank you!! Congratulations on your BFP!!! Wishing you a healthy & happy 9 months!!
