First Response Early Result tests Congrats!

Starting my 2nd round of Femara tonight. My follicle ultrasound is on day 12 this time, instead of day 14 like last time. Hoping that makes a difference. Probably going to have to increase my progesterone because apparently I was only on 50mg a day, and bled right through it. Hoping for a successful cycle!

I feel like my body is still recovering from last cycle......I'm still crampy and bloated, and its already time to start meds again. Although it didn't give me many side effects, i hope the Femara goes easy on me and my body doesn't rebel. Has anyone had this issue?

FX for you this cycle. Had 4 cycles of Femara and worst side effect was a major migraine on one of the cycles. Good luck to you.

Hi all! Been traveling for various purposes the last 2 weeks....was looking forward to catching up now that we're back!

J-Lynn- Congrats on your BFP girl!! How have things been looking with those betas (or have I missed it?)?! Hope all is very, very well!! Ha ha, I had to laugh at your story about the missing cup....that happened to me once too and just peed in the pouch! (maybe I should be more ashamed to admit that?!)

ES- sorry the first round of Femara did not produce the desired result, but crossing fingers and wishing you luck for this cycle!! Hope you're feeling back to normal soon!

Kel- sorry to hear of the bfn. What are you doing next?

Babybe- Hope your cycle gets the green light!!!

Brandy and Prayerful- Hope all is going well with you and your cycles!

Karen- I am so sorry about your bfn. It sounds like are making some serious moves toward the next step though. Good luck to you and DH! I will check out your blog! How did the garage sale go?

MMW- Hope you are feeling well!

Lola- Sounds like that little angel is doing amazing!

Had our consult last week. Green light for IVF. Hoping to start ASAP and aim for retrieval week of 7/29. Since I am an oldie...had the discussion about recommendations supporting the transfer of 3 embryos....we transferred 2 in our previous cycles, even though my embryos historically look sorta crappy, the thought of transferring three is giving me chills...

Hi Galen hope you had some fun over those 2 weeks of traveling how exciting that you will be in the next cycle. They are talking about transferring 3 for me as well because of my age... so we shall see.

I wouldnt mind carrying or caring for twins I am very concerned about the increased health risks for me and the babies if we have triplets though.

Betas look good so far - 42 on the first draw, 136 72 hours later, so it's well on it's way. AF was due around the day of my 2nd beta numbers - so I think they're pretty strong! I go back tomorrow for another HCG level check and progesterone shot. Woo! I can't wait to see what my numbers do tomorrow!!!

And trust me, I thought about peeing directly on that thing ..... I sure did - so you're not alone hahah

Good luck on the transfer!!!

I really can't wait until my trigger shot! My ovaries are achy. I'm hoping that means they responded well yet again to the Femara. I'll find out Wednesday.

 

[~Brandy~]

FX for you ES you dont find out till Wednesday if you can trigger?

 

[ESwemba84]

FX for you ES you dont find out till Wednesday if you can trigger?

Yep...it's CD 13 and they always do an ultrasound to make sure my ovaries responded well to the Femara. If I could do it on CD 12 and just skip the ultrasound, I would!

Tell them to give you an extra strength one to make sure you get your BFP this cycle haha

 

[ESwemba84]

Lol, yes......I need 2 please!

Our garage sale went really well. I am not halfwayish through getting ready to launch my next fundraiser. I am really excited about it. Please keep cheching out my blog and share it with all your friends! We are going to need a lot of support.
