Disneyfan - WOO HOO! We got this!!!

I lose people on this board. LOL How'd your trigger go? Does your bum hurt as bad as mine? LOL Good luck tomorrow, I will be thinking of you!!!

 

[TeeinAZ]

I am happy to report that I finally got the go ahead today! Everyday there is either a problem with my follicle count or estrogen level. Monday I was told I had 4 mature follicles out of 37 total and my estrogen was 3280, then oddly on Tuesday I had 2 mature follicles out of 33 total (I think it was a u/s tech error) and my estrogen was 4609. Today I have 14 mature follicles out of 29 and my estrogen is 5750!!! I get to trigger tonight and ER is on Friday!!! The wait from the extra stimming days has been awful!

YES!!!!!!!!!!!! I was praying hard for you, girl!! I went through the same thing!!! Good luck with the trigger, it's not bad! I was so excited when my hubby was done! You are right behind me for the EC!! WOO HOO!!!

bunyhuny, I hope your nightmares are a good sign! When I was pregnant a big sign for me was night sweats and strange dreams. LOL!

Serenyx, they said they consider "mature" follicles to be 17mm and over. I have 14 over 17mm right now and some more will likely catch up once I trigger tonight.

TeeinAZ, thank you so much for the prayers. I need all I can get and I send them back your way.

Thank you everyone for the support!

My trigger shot went in the belly, but it's still tender where I injected it. Good luck to you, too! I'll be thinking of you and praying that we get good egg counts!!

My last scan was Monday, and at that point, they were estimating that I'd get 5 or 6. I'm hoping that some of the lazy ones will catch up by ER without me losing any of the bigger ones.

Hey ladies!

Had and informative yet exhausting day. Lots of info, so that's good. I start stimming on the 7th. I found out I will be on 300 units of Gonal-f a day (150 in am, 150 in pm), 40 units of Lupron (20 am, 20 pm), and a vial of menopur (not sure of the units) twice a day. I'll mix them all together in one needle that is so teeny tiny I'm not nervous about that in the slightest. The thing that scares me is mixing it all and making sure I get the right dosage. Then I'll do the hCG trigger and after that I'll start all of my progesterone supplements (I have 3 of them I think). Haven't heard anything more about the progesterone in oil, it may just be a one time thing after ET, not sure. I did find out they are going to give me some "goodies" the night before ET and the day of. Apparently I am getting a few tablets of Valium to keep my uterus from contracting? I've had Valium for dentist work before and that stuff knock me for a loop so I'm sure it will keep me calm, so that is nice. So much happened today, I have so much to read and pick through and analyze it should keep me occupied for a while. My clinics overall success rate last cycle was over 60%! That was hugely encouraging. I stop the awful BCPs next Wednesday and I can't wait! On my scan today I did have quite a few antral follicles so that was great too! My endometrioma shrunk on one side by over 1cm so that was just a bonus. Maybe our luck is changing in the baby making department!!! Anyways, thats my update for now. Good luck everyone!!


P.S.

Plex! You're amazing keeping up and congrats on starting sooner than you thought YAY!!

Good luck ababy4us!!!

Welcome. The shots don't hurt at all. As per side effects everyone react differently and I have never had any side effect except bloating. Am just a day behind you I start stimm on the 5th

 

[Serenyx]

Serenyx, they said they consider "mature" follicles to be 17mm and over. Some I have 14 right now and some more will likely catch up once I trigger tonight.

Thanks for that

I had 7 that were 17 + but another 10 between 14 and 16, so hopefully a few of those will catch up

Aww well that's a relief was so worried about them! Sorry to see you had a failed ivf this year hopefully this one will be successful!

I am only 22 so I'm hopeful that it should work for me but not only do I have pcos my husband had low sperm. The specialist has said icsi is the way forward for us!

Aww so will we defo be starting on the days we have been told or could try change?

Hello All,

Joined a few months ago,but thought Id wait till we were about to begin before I posted.
We had our drug appointment last week, and I tried my first injection with an empty needle, Glad I had a go as was building it up to be a lot worse in my head. Were now Just waiting for AF to arrive then got to ring The Hewitt Centre (LWH) to let them know CD1 so they can book me in for baseline scan and then can start stimming. AF is due around 8th september
Were having ICSI short Protocol

Me and Hubby are both 26, TTC for 5 years now. I have severe PCOS and hubby has slight motility issues, which is why were having ICSI.

Good Luck to Everyone

 

[Hennapop]

Good luck Becki!

 

[adroplet]

Ms. T - I just new you'd bounce back. Awesome!

My ER was great. I did not feel a thing, don't remember anything either. Afterward I was just really bloated and crampy. my Dr told me my estradiol levels were rather high on my last bloodwork pre ER and that I may develop OHSS after ER. He gave me meds for it and so far I feel a lot better than yesterday (having a BM helped so much). Sleeping was rough, I can only be on my back as shifting from side to side gave me unbearable internal pressure. and I was getting up to pee every 1 1/2 hr.

So my retrieval total was 24 eggs! I am waiting for the update phone call this morning.....waiting.
I also have bloodwork for this Friday. He said if my hormone levels were back in the normal range then my ET would be on Monday.

Good luck to everyone doing ER today. don't sweat it!

 

[bizzibii]

I just wanted to say I am PUPO . 9 of the 11 eggs fertilised , and they are all apparently very good 8 cell embies

I am just about to google if 8 cell are a good ones. They are gonna wait till tomorrow to see how many they can freeze but she reckons we may be able to freeze them all . Another strange thing about Dutch IVF system . I cannot call to find out how many made it to freeze. I will get a letter within the next two weeks to let me know .

Hello to all the new ladies.

 

[ababy4us]

Ababy that's just two days behind me. Cycle buddie Hun?

YES! Cycle buddy, YAY!! I just saw you were starting on the 5th. So excited we have each other to compare notes!

 

[nlk]

Hi everyone! Just checking in...still waiting for a match. I'm thinking about giving them a call, or an email, to get an update? I don't know how long it should take, and I'm itching to get going!

Chloe, we're really similar. I'm also 22 with pcos...we're about to start ivf (possibly with icsi), as soon as I have a match for me to share my eggs. I also saw on another thread that you said your amh was really high...mine is as well it just means that you will probably be put on a low dose of drugs, to try and limit your risk of over-responding...this is what my consultant has said I am doing where are you doing ivf, if you don't mind me asking?

Do you know what your levels were and what meds you have been given?

Great number of eggs retrieved! Good luck with fertilisation

I just wanted to say I am PUPO . 9 of the 11 eggs fertilised , and they are all apparently very good 8 cell embies

Great news 9 fertilised is a very good number!

Are you not having a fresh transfer this cycle?
