IVF Cycle #1 - Anyone else?

EC on Friday! Eeek. Waiting to hear what time I need to do my final injection today... so three more injections then I'm done with those. Yeah, I'm sure my bruising isn't as bad as some, but it's getting quite difficult to find a spot to inject that isn't very painful!

Oh, wonderful news! FX it will all go well! Do you have an idea when EC might be?
 
9.30 am Friday is my procedure. Seeing as I live 1.5 hours away and I have to be at the clinic for 8am... that's me getting up nice and early! I'll be glad to get it out the way though :/
 
Hiiiiii everyone? How are you all? Iv been away for a while so focus on some things in life. Hows everyone doing?

OMG! Mrs B - Thats great news! I cant believe how quickly days went, I remember you telling me you going to start IVF.

Im wishing you all the best! Keep us posted, hope all goes smoothly. xxxxxx
 
Hi Yearning! How have you been? Good to see you again!

Yeah, it's gone so quickly. I don't even know where the time has gone to be honest! I'm lucky that I was on the short protocol, which was a lot shorter than I was expecting it to be! Done my final injection now so they are all out the way thankfully! xxx
 
Yearning, how are you? :flower: Hope you're doing okay. Have you had your post-IVF consult yet? Made any decisions about next steps? :hugs:

MrsB, that's very exciting! :happydance: Can't wait to hear your results. :argh:

I'm still hanging in there, but definitely flirting with overstimulation. My estradiol is 1,732 today, and it's been doubling every day. The docs said the danger zone is 5,000-6000, so I'll be there VERY soon! Biggest follie is only 13 mm, so I need a few more days of growth before I can trigger (and praying :haha: that my estradiol levels don't crash like they did last month). More bloodwork tomorrow, and probably another scan on Friday.
 
Thanks! :friends: I'm still hanging in there okay, but getting monitored daily. This is the hard part, right? :haha:

GOOD LUCK tomorrow!!!! :dust:
 
Thanks pbl, I'm so nervous! You get another scan tomorrow too right? Good luck, I'm keeping everything crossed for you!!

I'm looking forward to getting EC and ET done so I can relax.... yeah right! What I mean is so I can then stress about a whole new set of worries :P
 
OK, EC and panic attack over! In a bit of pain but paracetamol is dealing with the worst at the moment. They collected 11 eggs, which is apparently quite good, and we'll find out tomorrow how many fertilise.

Hope you're all doing well!
 
Whoohoo!!! :yipee:

11 is fab!! My docs said 10-15 is perfect. :thumbup:
 
Thanks pbl... that's good! My docs said it's normal to collect between 8 and 12 eggs... either way I'm doing alright! We'll just have to see what they say when they call tomorrow.

How you getting on? I hope your estradiol is not getting too high.
 
Not such great news for the fertilisation rate for me... out of 11 eggs, 5 were immature and 6 were mature. Of those 6 mature eggs, only 2 fertilised. We'll find out tomorrow if there are any to transfer back.
 
:hugs: :hugs: :hugs: I know several women here who had just one emby at the end of the process, and it turned out to be a sticky bfp. It only takes one! The rest is just gravy. Will be hoping you get good news today!
 
EEEEK ... both embryos still exist!!!!!!!! YAY!!!!!! One is grade 2 and the other grade 2-3. They said they've both divided into 4 cells, which is really good. Back in tomorrow for the transfer and I'm hoping (because we only had 2 embys and the grades are middling) that they might let us have both put back in to give us a bit extra chance on getting pregnant (although we may not be allowed 2 as they prefer to do SET). Then we have to wait 16 days (are they freaking kidding me?!) to test. So happy - was so worried that we were going to end up with nothing to transfer!
 
That's great news! :yipee: :yipee: :yipee:

So happy to hear this. :cloud9:

Good luck with your transfer tomorrow! Can't wait to hear how it goes. I think I'll be triggering tomorrow right, but have another scan and blood test tomorrow.

:dust:
 
Hi all, haven't been on for a while. Got quite down and took myself out of the game but going back at the end of November for IVF #1. Excited as all results are positive so far and outlook good but nervous too that I won't respond well. This is our only chance so all eggs in this basket!!!

Best of luck ladies and thanks for all the positive stories so far. Good to see so many who know what it's like to TTC with difficulty for long time.

:dust:
 
Thanks pbl! Good luck with your scan and bloods tomorrow... I hope you get to trigger!! :dust:

Hi Dodima, good to have you back! FX for your upcoming IVF! Keep us updated! :dust:
 
Two embryos on board and a test date of Monday 11th November. Now the wonderful tww for me! (One embryo was pretty good at grade 2 8 cell, the other was not as good at grade 3 6 cell)

How you all doing?
 
How did I miss these updates?!?!?!?!? :dohh: MrsB, congrats on being PUPO!!! :happydance: How are you feeling? Are you going completely crazy yet? :haha: :wacko: Are you going to test at home before OTD?

Dodima, :hi: Sorry to hear you were down. :hugs: Glad you're better and will be starting soon!

AFM, I had a hell of a roller coaster. I was in danger of OHSS, so they pulled back my meds, which caused my estradiol to crash, so they said the whole thing might be cancelled. You can imagine my emotional state through all this. :loopy: I got the greenlight for ER at the last minute, and the got 7 eggs yesterday. I know that's a decent number, but I started out with close to 30 follies, so it sounded pretty low to me. They called this AM and said that all 7 had fertilized! :shock: 3 day transfer scheduled on Saturday, and they do two as a default. I'm still in the running!

Hope all are well. :hugs:
 
Thank you :) It's very nerve-wracking waiting (seriously feels like it's been a month since transfer... it's been 3 days!) and being so careful not to do anything that could stop them from implanting! So yes, I think you could say I'm going a little crazy!!! I've been given a home test to do on the 11th - but I am so tempted to use one of mine earlier than this. Problem is all the forums say that the trigger shot (which I had last Wednesday) can leave pregnancy hormones in your body for 10ish days... and I'd hate to get a positive just because the drugs haven't left my system yet :/

Oh wow, sounds like you've had an awful time :( ... but yay for 7 fertilised eggs!!!!! Good luck for the transfer on Saturday - come join me on the lovely tww!!! :hugs: :dust:
