IVF/FET in Aug'13' - Aug'14' buddies wanted!!*13 BFP's!!**Updates on first page**

Question: my estradiol came back at 1,600 and they want to see me again tomorrow for bloods and stop the bravelle and only do Menopur. What does that mean? Egg retrieval isn't supposed to be until sat. Lead follicles are 16mm the rest is between 11-15

Today my level was at 1,700 so I am back on Bravelle and Menopur! I guess thats what they wanted so I am not complaining but it seems strange that my value only went up by 100...
 
Mrs t that is frustrating you just have to stay positive.:hugs:
Alika I think any value upwards isa good sign:thumbup:
 
Congrats to everyone who had their ER today! And to those of you just triggering- yay! Not long now! So who is doing 3dt's and who is doing 5dt's? Any ideas yet? or are most of your doctors playing it by ear?

Also, is there anyone else on here that's in the TWW right now? I scanned the front page, but it seemed most people are not transferring for at least a couple days yet.

The thread is moving really fast, so if I missed anyone posting directly to me, I'm sorry! II'm not totally sure what page we were on last time I checked the thread... :blush:

Plex- I don't envy you trying to update the front page and make sense of all the posts. You are amazing, and keeping everyone's info nice and neat on the front page is such a wonderful help. Just wanted to let you know that I really appreciate it. <3

sekky- Oh my, the tww is dragging already. It's never felt this long before, but then again, I've never known I had an embryo inside me before! I'm just hoping it's doing okay in there.

Update- I wish was one of those lucky ladies who has her transfer on a Thursday. I know that sounds silly, but it's true! On a Thursday you can take the rest of the day to rest and recuperate, take Friday to lounge around, and then you get a weekend to go out and distract yourself! Haha. My Monday transfer is giving me all week to ponder what's going on in there! I guess I could go out, but I'm not a big fan of wandering a city I don't know very well, and where most folks don't speak English, without DH. I know I can do it and would be fine, it's just somewhat uncomfortable and very isolating. Still, I may grab a taxi to the movie theater tomorrow. No good sitting about losing my mind. :wacko:

Awwwwwwwwww Hang in there Buny, at least you have all of us! Now I have this on my phone too, so we can chat! I can't imagine the wait! I will go mad for sure. But just keep talking to that little baby in there. :kiss:

I have a feeling I will be transfering the beginning of the week too. I was so ready to do the transfer the end of this week and have my princess time for the long weekend. But I have ZERO control over my body right now. Maddening!

The awesome thing about all of us being around the same schedule is that we all get to share the pregnancy journey together too!!! I'm really glad I met you all. I'm still new, but I'm starting to get the hang of it.

I'm all mushy! HAHAH sorry, estrogen levels are HIGH today! LOL
 
Well this is almost becoming comical but not quite. So I am again having to stim one more day and go back for another u/s and b/w tomorrow!

Friday my follicle count was low so they threatened cancellation and made me go for an u/s and b/w on Sunday. Sunday everything looked okay but they wanted me to go for one more on Monday. Monday when I went they told me my follicle count looked good but my estrogen didn't rise much so they threatened cancellation again. So I had to go for another b/w and u/s on Tuesday (today). Today they said my estrogen went up but my follicle sizes don't look as good as they did Monday. OMG!!! I am going crazy. We have to travel a long distance to our fertility clinic so my husband has had the car packed for two days and we have been sitting around waiting for the go ahead. Ahhhhhhh!!!!!!!!

Wow - that would drive me mad. I hope you get good news tomorrow! :hugs:

Congrats to everyone who did their ER today! Good luck and best wishes for great fertilization reports tomorrow! :hugs:

Like TeeinAZ, I'm triggering tonight with my collection happening on Thursday. I'm hoping that my lazy follicles pick up the pace and catch up to the others. I really want to retrieve more than 5 eggs (which is all I got last time).

Now if only I could make it through the work day. I'll be off through next Monday (back to work n Tuesday). :thumbup:

I'm so excited to have a buddy to go through this with! What time is your appointment on Thursday? Mine is at 8:30am.

I am so glad I have Monday off too, just in case I have my transfer on Sunday I will have one extra paid day off! I am soooooooo excited!

I'm still waiting to hear back on the time. I should be getting that call any minute now. I'll keep you posted! And yes, very thankful for that holiday coming up on Monday! :thumbup:
 
Aw bunny it is hard to be in a country were not everyone speaks English. Yeah go movies, have you got any series you can watch to keep you occupied?
 
So,
Hi again! I've been trying to get caught up, but its no use! For every one page I read it seems like there are two new pages! I figured I'd just jump right in and hopefully get caught up as I go.
It seems as though everyone is a little further along than I am. Anyone planning for egg retrieval towards the end of next week? I've only been on stims for four days now. My husband has been giving me my shots but tonight he has school and won't get back in time. Hopefully I can muster up enough courage to do it myself. I thought of asking my neighbor who is a vet but then she would have to see my not so flat stomach.
 
Aw it is really hard to keep up the thread moves really quick. Ooh I don't envy you I could not do the shots myself found it to hard good luck with it:thumbup:

I always just jump in, it's hard to stay on top of these threads.

Don't be afraid to do the shots. As lonf as you pinch a big part (I pinched too small once and it's stung for a second) you most likely won't feel it. I did three shots a day on myself and I am deathly afraid of needles. Once you do it one time you'll see it's not so bad.

I am having my hubby do my trigger tonight on me, and I am afraid of that. LOL

When is your scan?

I usually just jump right in, too.

I just found out that I'm triggering at 7:00 pm PST and my retrieval is scheduled for 7:00 am Thursday morning. We have been instructed to arrive by 6:15 am. We live about an hour away, so looks like an early morning for us.

I'm doing the trigger subcutaneously, so I've (thankfully) been able to avoid the butt shots so far between both cycles. DH would definitely have to do it for me if I have to take it IM.

I am an hour and a half right behind you!!! <3

Been caught up on everything for weeks. Even re-watched 3 years worth of Doctor Who since we arrived. :haha: Not much on TV in the summer months. Can't wait for all the main shows to come back into season next month.

You can do it! :thumbup: The first time I had to do a trigger for IUI, I was so scared, but once I did it I realized that it hurts less to give myself injections than it does when other people do them. And for the stomach ones, I can't hardly feel them if I do it. Often times, I've noticed that other people inject the medicine too fast, and that hurts, but when you do it yourself you can go nice and slow and respond to anything your body tells you. I can't really do the butt ones myself because it's such an awkward angle, so my doctor said it's fine to just do them in my thigh or upper arm, depending on how much medicine has to go in- so that's what I do instead. So far, DH hasn't given me a single shot, and neither has anyone at my current clinic. I'm just too scared of other people jabbing me now.
 
Thanks for the tips! The shot went well. I just didn't give myself time to talk myself out of it. It did hurt less when I did it! Hubby usually does put the medicine in too fast but I feel bad complaining. I think I'll keep having him give me the shots, though just so he feels like he's participating some.
My scan is this Thursday. I'm feeling pretty moody already. I didn't notice until my husband said he's so scared about my mood once I'm pregnant if this is how I'm acting now! Now I remind myself to breath and calm down. That is, if I'm not fighting back tears! It's going to be a long week!
Does anyone else have fears of hubby freezing up and not being able to deliver the goods when egg retrieval day comes? It's probably a silly thing to worry about, but I'm so worried that he will feel too pressured and won't be able to do it. He has never had trouble giving a sample before, but all of the samples he has given have just been for testing.
 
Luvoboe- Congrats on doing your own shot! :happydance: On our ER day, DH was allowed to collect his sample at home. Since it was our last chance to get frisky before having to abstain for a couple weeks, we enjoyed ourselves and that made it very easy. You could always ask you clinic if at-home collection is an option. Our clinic prefers it.
 
Luvoboe - hi I'm targeted for ER/EC next wed. I'm heading in for my second u/s tomorrow am.

YES I have been concerned about DH but what can I do??? He'll have to make it happen :) it will be at clinic for us :) for him rather!

I could do shots myself I think - the mixing of the menopur would bother me tho. So exact! For you ladies with Walgreens home delivered meds in the us - I got a call from them that the FDA recalled some of their progest in oil due to an issue at the compounding pharmacy. They wanted me to take progest in sesame oil however my RE said no and is getting at another pharmacy. What a pain! Check your progest in oil ladies.

Baby dust to all!!
 
I've over responded to the drugs :( they are going to take some blood but they may have to cancel this cycle. So disappointed :(
 
Well, ladies today is the official date it all begins for me. Our 3 hour long IVF class is today along with my baseline U/S. I'm excited and nervous. I know its nothing compared to all of you ladies that are going for your ER/ET but I feel like something is finally happening for us. I couldn't sleep a wink, I think the steroids they have me on are making me crazy. Cold sweats, YUCK!

Anyways, wish us luck on getting really great info. Poor hubby is nervous.
