Just back from Pre stimm US - My right ovary has 3 follies, and 7 in left (was 6 & 6 two weeks ago). These numbers seem low - what do you all think?

My lining was at 4 - would that be right for day 1 of AF? I think that my schedule will be pushed back a week b/c they like to start stimms on cd 3.

We'll see what my bloodwork shows later today.

Thinking of everyone

BFN for us - don't know how I'll get through this.

Good luck and lots of baby dust to all you other ladies!

So sorry, Nearly.

My AFC from my baseline was 5 on the right and 1-2 on the left. I started stimming on cycle day 2, and I went for a follow-up scan on Wednesday (I go back this morning). Wednesday's scan (after 3 nights os stimming) showed 6 on the right and 3 on the left. My baseline was before AF, so I don't know what the lining was on cycle day 1. It was 6.5 on Wednesday, though.

Had my 5 day stim appt today. I have about 12 follies between 7-10 on the right side and another 8 on the left measuring 8-12. Egg retrieval is scheduled for next week Saturday but I am hoping it will be sooner.

 

[TeeinAZ]

Nearly, I am so sorry to hear about your BFN.

 

[ababy4us]

buny - my clinic said no intercourse until we get the BFP...

Tcreasy - my husband had the same - we went to a homeopath who put us on a vegetable juice and detox diet. When we went back his sperms were fine. He however still had the obstruction - because of this we had to go straight to ICSI. Hope this info helps? You're welcome to ask if you need more info.

So sorry Nearly we are all hear for you. You will get through this, you are a strong woman and if you've made it this far, surely you have much strength to keep going


Sorry I clicked the wrong post

My natural IVF cycle treatment failed. We couldn't find an egg. RE poked needle twice and sucked the fluid out of the follicle, but no success. I saw everything on the monitor. I felt the needle. The crampy pain lasted One hour. The pain was nothing to compare I have had period cramps in the past. Not big deal! I had voltaren in my rectum 50mg 1 hour before ER. My husband was next to me all time.

RE told me that it happens that women don't have an egg in the follicle. Also the egg maybe still stuck to the follicle wall. I could O any time and we decided to do iUI and take progesteron pills tomorrow in the evening. It will be Magic if my tubes are healthy.
My opinion, 16mm follicle was not big enough, early trigger killed it, in the past I had 20mm follicle and felt my O that day.
Another option could be chromosomal problems of the egg, that's why is still stuck to the follicle wall.
We'll never know the truth, what happened.
Sept 4th I have pregnancy blood test. I have a little hope, because we are doing too things different. Progesteron and IUI.

I had a scare today too. Half an hour after procedure I felt nausea and dizzy, I saw lights flashing in my eyes. I asked my Dh call for help and layed down on the floor. My blood pressure was 90/40. Dr. gave me IV and I felt better.
Vagus nerve may responded to my procedure, also I drank nothing that morning and maybe it is HCg shot side effect. Maybe all 3 at once. We'll never know.
Ultrasound didn't show any problems

I am taking progesteron by mouth, my dr. told me it is more effective than vaginally, however the side effects are very strong. So far I felt dizzy in the morning and I have pain in my right arm.

Nearly big big

bunny huny, Things are progressing very well to you, soon you'll have your embryos in your incubator! do you have any side efects from progesteron? Did you have a full anesthesia during ER?

 

[Hennapop]

Allika - good luck!!

Disney - thanks for the info...I wish there was a website I could plug all this into!

[bunyhuny]

Hennapop- We want to do genetic testing on our ICSI embryos because ICSI is known to create embryos with an= higher chance of birth defects, chromosomal abnormalities, etc. That's because it bypasses natural selection. Normally, sperm compete to get into the egg, but in ICSI the doctor just picks one that "looks good". Because of this, there can be a much higher (double or more) chance of defects, especially sex chromosome defects. The chance is still pretty low, but we'd rather play it safe if we can.

sekky- No sex until 12 weeks!?!?!?! That is insane. I'd absolutely lose my mind and start killing random strangers.

Nearly2014- I am so, so sorry. I can't imagine what you're going through. We're all here for you.

Allika- Great news on number of follicles! You must be really pleased! Yay!

dovkav123- Sorry that your ER did not go as planned. I'm really glad you're okay after your blood pressure dropping like that- Scary!! When are you doing your IUI? For my cyst rupture, I was awake w/out pain relievers, but for my ER they did general anesthesia. I was definitely happy to be put under for that because my cyst retrieval HURT.

*UPDATE* At this point I'm on Progesterone and Estrogen and am extremely tired all the time. I slept 16 hours last night. Crazy!!! We get our embryo report in the morning and I am just so nervous. I really hope we get good news and that everything is growing well. I know we have to expect some to have not made it, but I am going to be hopeful that most of them have survived.

TMI- Last night I dreamt of sex all night. Embarrassing to admit, but none of it was about DH. I must have had sex dreams about at least 10 different (made up) men. Well, they were all made up except David Tennant. *swoon* Nothing like that has ever happened before. Well, not to that scale! It must be the hormones. Crazy, crazy hormones. I was reading today that having sex the night before egg transfer can be really good for conception, so I think I'm going to go ahead and do that tomorrow. It's been a week since we dtd last and with all these hormones I'm on... I'm going to have to ask my RE when it's okay to go back to having sex after the transfer. I think I'll die if I have abstain for too long.....

 

[Luvoboe]

Hi guys. I'm a little late but mind if I join? I start stims tomorrow! This is our first cycle and we will be doing icsi.

 

[ababy4us]

I feel so silly ladies, I'm so upset.

I just got informed that I'm going to most likely have to do the progesterone oil injections and that upsets me so much. I have such a fear of needles and if God forbid I bleed from an injection I'm passing out. I was told all along that this was not in my clinic protocol and it actually played a huge part in our decision to do IVF. Thing is, is I am home by myself most of the time my hubby is in the Army so he is always gone and I am nervous to be doing those injections on my own. I know I must seem silly to you ladies but I am really setting into a panic here. *sigh* I was having such a wonderful day too...

 

[Rurin]

Nearly & Dovkav
So sorry to hear your cycles didn't work this time. It is so frustrating that this whole process seems so random whether it works or not.

 

[Mrs. T]

U/S and B/W did not go well today. Between Wednesday and today my follies have not grown much. If there isn't an improvement on Sunday my cycle is getting cancelled.

Don't feel silly we totally understand This is my second IVF and I can't even inject myself with an insulin needle. So am worse than you. Anytime DH is away I go to a nearby pharmacy and get it done. You will survive
