Lauren, SOOOO! Did you test again this morning? I can totally see a faint second line. I can't wait to hear your update, I hope your line gets darker! F'xed!!!

Screna, My shots are going well (I hope). I only did 56.25iui instead of 75iui each day. Which equals out to 3/4 of a vial. I would rather get 2 mature follicles then have way too many and have to cancel again. Plus they can just increase my dose over the next couple of days if needed. I already feel my ovaries so I don't think that will be the case. I have my follicle check u/s tomorrow at 10:30am so we'll see!!!

Moochacha, I am going to do IUI and TI. I figured that way I won't know which it is from. If everything is a go, I hope to do an IUI and then BD that night and the night after. I really hope this cycle isn't a bust for you. Do you ovulate on your own without meds?

 

[KK74]

Gave in and took a HPT 11 dpiui and I got a BFP!!! Hope its not the trigger shot. i took it 13 days ago?

Going in for scheduled blood work on Thursday praying thAt will be positive too.

Thanks for the input ladies!!!

 

[Kmae]

KK74, Oh, I hope it isn't the trigger! Not sure how long it stays put 11dpiui seems long enough to me! Can't wait to hear your update on Thursday!

OMG, it looks like we might be getting an explosion of BFPs this cycle!!! Let's blow this thread up with them!!!

Cridge, how are you doing? You're getting so close!

I agree.. for me the trigger was out of my system by 7-8 days past trigger.

Congrats!!!!

What is an egg share? I've heard it mentioned before, but really have no idea what it is all about!

I'm doing OK, just going a little bonkers with the waiting. I swear TTC is just far too much waiting!!! Waiting to start the cycle, then waiting to ovulate, then waiting to see if it worked. All we ever do is wait!!!

I basically share my eggs with another woman during my Ivf cycle and I get it cheaper- these ladies are ones who are- left it too late/ had chemo/ early menopause etc so I want to do it to help them out as they are in a worse position than myself

That's sooooo true it's definately a waiting game when roughly are you expecting to stim for your next Ivf again??

OHHHH.. that is very cool! So they get a chance to be a Mom, and you get a break on the cost.

I'm getting close to starting. I start Lupron on Friday (Nov 9th), then I start the stims on Nov 26th. I just found out that my drugs shipped, and should be here in a week (the stims), my Lupron should already be at my FS's office. I go in on Wednesday for my trial transfer to make sure my cervix is still behaving. It wasn't behaving last cycle.

Best of luck lauren & kk24!!!!

scerena the egg share sounds so neat!

AFM I have high hopes for this cycle!!! I have 6 follies 12, 14, 18 and 3 at 20!!!! And my lining is 10.83!! And my estrogen is 2007!!! Ahhhhhhhhhhh!!! I can't help but get excited about this cycle it's the best numbers I've seen so far! Still waiting on the call with my instructions as to when to trigger and TI and such. Any and all good vibes/prayers/and baby dust is much appreciated!!!

 

[Kmae]

Scerena, the egg sharing sounds so great! You'll be able to help those who would otherwise have no chance and save some mula! Win/win! But, I hope your wrong about not being pg.

Amber, yes- your numbers sound great!!! I got everything crossed for you!

Allicat, yay! Your finally close to starting again! I really hope you are rewarded with a BFP for all your waiting!!!

Excellent! You probably have 4 follicles that will mature, Can't wait to hear how everything goes!

 

[ambernov20]

I'm very excited too!! My beta is the day after my Birthday!! So if all goes well I could get my BFP for my Birthday!!! But I'll end up testing before that lol!!

 

[scerena]

amber you are so lucky you're allowed that many! Here I'm only allowed two max but they try for just one!
Gl I hope you get your bfp before your birthday when you test

alicatt yes we both have a chance at our dream
Not long until you start Stimming then that's great news, it's great they do a trial transfer too wishing you the best of luck

kmae thanks you're so right it's a win win situation and I can't wait to help some lady as we know just how much infertility effects out lives
Would be great if I was pregnant but I don't have much hope to be honest...
I hope your scan goes well today

I think that some Dr's look at the history of the woman, the number of tries they have had, and the reasons they are seeking out fertility treatments and then make a judgement on how many follicles they will allow for an IUI. Things like the quality of the follicles, the quality of the lining, quality of the sperm all become factors, I wish more Dr's would look at these factors before cancelling an IUI because of too many follicles.

My Dr, has been wavering between 2 and 3 embryos in my IVF cycle coming up. It is one of those things that they tend to decide as they see the quality of the embryos, and as I said above, the quality of the lining plays an important part too. So we'll see what we decide!

Lots of to you all..

 

[ambernov20]

Yea we have different odds.......hubby has a translocation in his dna which means we have to have just the right sperm and egg together for it to work. So my Dr is allowing for more since we have lower odds that any of them will be right. But we have one son together that we conceived on our own so I still have hope.

I had my follicle check this morning and had one follicle at 20mm, one at 18mm, one at 14mm and one at 13mm. So based on these numbers I will ovulate 2 maybe 3 (but the 14mm is a long shot). I trigger tonight around 10:30pm and will do the IUI on Thursday morning. DH and I will BD tonight and also Thursday night (or Friday morning) to be on the safe side! Looks like I'll be testing around Thanksgiving. I was really hoping to have 3 maybe 4 mature follicles since 3 seems to be the lucky number, but I am so happy I get to finally trigger!

My RE told me that my lining was barely okay but that it was okay??? I hope it gets thicker between now and Thursday!

 

[ambernov20]

FX for you kmae!! I have heard of people taking a baby asprin to help with their lining. I can't since I have asthma but I have heard of it. Can you ask your RE about it?

My RE said previously that I can take baby aspirin if it makes me feel better and that it couldn't hurt. I believe I have some in my medicine cabinet...

Sorry I've been MIA for a couple days. I got that one test that with a little editing you could "barely" see something. So I tested that night and the next morning and nothing. No line. Nothing I could even convince myself was a line. So I got depressed. Like more so than ever after a bfn. But I was talking to my DH last night and he told me to POAS in the morning. I asked him why and he was just like, eh we have em and you might as well.
So I did. Reluctantly. And I'm glad I did. This takes no editing.
