[flagirlie7]

I got discharged yesterday evening, thank god! Never even told my parents coz I didn't want them to worry. Slept pretty good 11 hrs straight. I think that's the plan for today, just sleep and lay in bed. My body feels achy from all the poking, probing and coughing!

Megan - no chicken soup for me lol. Not a fan.

Well I feel a bit gutted and more worried now only collected 3 eggs I'm crossing everything that those three fertilize. Because of the small amount we are going for ET on Fri, which is about the only thing I'm happy about. Wish me luck girls cos I really really need it xxx

I THINK IM GOING TO POP!
MY BELLY IS SO BIG!
Dr at 7 am tomorrow. Hoping for a great productive scan! ! I'm so uncomfortable.

 

[MeganScott]

Buny your experience and side effects sound pretty scary. Gave me goosebumps! Hope you're feeling better.

PostalMom Upping GonalF means you might have more follies retrieved when they actually do the retrieval. I hope so! I'm not sure about that huge E2 drop though, wow!

Goodluck at the scan tomorrow! And maybe you can ask the RE about the E2 drop and what it means?

Plex hon, we've heard it so many times: 'you only need one'. And its true.

There's been ladies here on this forum itself (I can't recall who it was, but I know she's currently preggers), who had very few eggs retrieved and yet it worked for them, and here I am with 24 eggs retrieved in cycle #2 and no luck. Its' not the number of the eggs that counts.

I hope this cycle is the one for you and atleast one of the embies attaches! I will be praying for you and little follies to do well!

Megan, when they put me on lupron they required all the ladies to have thier e2 below 2t. They kept me on it a few days longer because I had to have the required HSG done again since it was right at the 6 month mark. So they wanted to keep me on lupron longer to let my uterus and cervix recover. So my E2 dropped to a 5.1. First scan on Stims was just over 280 so it went up not down. I think my lining went from 2.? To 9.? But I guess he wants my E2 higher. I'll find out tomorrow. So excited.
How are you doing?

 

[PostalMom]

25

 

[MeganScott]

Oh okay, now I get it! I misread that, cos I thought it went down from 280 to 5 in a day and I was like whaaaa... lol...

9 is a very good and plump lining, thats awesome. Once they start the progesterone shots, it does thin out a little bit though, but only a little bit. But you're at a very good place right now, and I'm excited for you too!

AFM - No major update really. A day late with AF this month, cramping today, so hopefully that's a sign she'll be here soon. Meeting up with two REs next month, will decide whom to go with once the consultations are done.

Until then, I'm on SeroVital to increase HGH and perhaps help with egg quality and hormone stabilization when we do choose an RE and decide to begin a cycle.

 

[Plex]

just wanted to do a quick update - all 3 eggs were mature and top quality but only 2 fertilized. Im happy with 2! I go in 2moro at 11 for the transfer i feel so much more relieved now, even though the real waiting has now started lol

Thank you all for you kind wishes - looks like theyve really helped xxxx

 

[PostalMom]

Plex. . Yea! !!! I'm so happy! ! I've been thinking about you. I hope everything goes well! I'm sending tons of baby dust!!

Afm I'm waiting to be seen. First patient of the day. fxd that I have more and bigger follies! ! Looking for a higher e2..

 

[PostalMom]

So far, up to 11 folicles and they are all growing. She Said Slow And steady. I'm doing great. Then the Dr said to up my gonalf again. Started at 225 the 300 now 375. I'll find out my E2 later. I'm a little bummed. She thinks my E2 looks more like Tuesday now.

 

[PostalMom]

EN not e2 stupid auto correct

 

[PostalMom]

Omg.. auto correct .. try Ong to say egg retrieval.

 

[Plex]

Postal - slow and steady is the way to go hun! 11 follicles is a great number too!! How are you feeling? More bloated im assuming looking forward to your next update xx

 

[Plex]

Buny - I hate going to the dentists at the best of times u poor thing how u doing today? Xx

Hey girl. Not too well. I'm still really sick from the sedation. Slept all day yesterday, then off an on through the night and all of today. I'm sore all over, and the arm that they put the IV in, well it hurts from my forearm all the way up into my shoulder blade. I'm having trouble forming memories. Oh, and I keep getting lost in my own house. Yay. If I'm not better in the morning I'm going to have DH call the dentist and ask if there is something that can be done to counteract whatever is still in my system.

The worst part is that it didn't even help with the procedure. I remember a lot of it and everything I remember was me being totally panicked/terrified from my reaction to the meds, but so out of it that I was unable to do anything to make it stop besides ask for more of the other med that was working correctly and making me half-asleep enough that I could ignore things. I think I may be slightly traumatized from the whole thing.

At least now I know to never do conscious sedation again?

Hope ur feeling better now? Sounds terrifying! How could they not notice this happening???? xxx

I'm doing ok I had my FET in December and am currently 9 weeks pregnant I'm scared stiff something is going to go wrong but just taking each day as it comes for now. I was officially discharged from the IVF clinic on Monday after our second scan (I have a retroverted uterus so they had poor visibility on the first scan and asked me to come back for a second scan).

I am just floating around the forums at the moment, reading but not really posting much as I don't feel like I belong anywhere
