Ladies, what exactly do the estradiol levels mean? At 1002 isn't that quite low after 8 days of stims? I'm looking online but can't find anything concrete. Can I expect that number to jump significantly in the next few days??

 

[Prayerful]

The estradiol level indicates how many mature follies you have. They say it is about 150-200 per mature follie. Mine went from 995 after 6 days of stims to 2079 after 8 days of stims, and 2858 after 9 days. Yours should start jumping up soon.

My E2 level was 1024 after 8 nights of stimming. I was told to trigger the next night (a Tuesday), and I got 6 mature eggs collected that Thursday.

I did not get another E2 check or ultrasound after that Monday appointment, so I'm not sure what the E2 level actually was by the time I went for ER.

Thanks ladies!

Hey ladies. Haven't been on much today since DH and I have been celebrating my birthday. We called the clinic to get our beta result tonight, but the lab somehow managed to get really behind today. They told the clinic they should have the results to them in the morning. I'll update as soon as I have news! Heading to bed now, but I'll check in as soon as I can tomorrow. I think I got pretty behind on the thread tonight!

Lots of baby dust to everyone!

Ababy am here. Not gone anywhere yet. At my day 6 scan not much was seen too. i honestly don't want much follies this time. With my failed trial I had 16 from start and 22 at ER with 20 of the matured. But no frosty no BFP. Which makes me assume it poor quality cos only 12 fertilzed and only 6 made it to day 3. My friend had success with only 4 at ER they all fertilized and she transferred 3 at d3 she's about 26-28 weeks now.

So don't feel down about the numbers yet.

Prayerful I see you are also on your way. I might get to trigger on Monday too after 11 days of stimm. My lead follie is at 17mm from today's follie check.

Am not triggering today but hopefully tomorrow. I have 19 follies. The biggest is btw 18-19mm and the smallest is btw 13-14mm. E2 came back at 3,472.

Another E2 tomorrow my poor vein. Then hopefully the last scan tomorrow too can't wait.

I am surprised you aren't triggering today. Your follies and E2 sound better than mine! Hopefully tomorrow you will trigger though!



seeky,I had 18mm follicle on Friday morning and triggered HCG on Saturday 11pm. ER was on Monday at 10:30am. You are on a good schedule!
Good luck!

*Update*

Here is some good news today!!!

hCG results should be back in 4.5 to 5.5 hours. Blood draw was crazy. I've been craving medium rare to rare red meat for the last few days, ate 6 steaks in since Thursday...., and now I know why. My body has been BUSY making blood. When the nurse stuck the blood draw needle into my arm, blood spurted out all around it. And when she went to fill the vial, well, I have never seen blood whoosh into one of those things so fast!! It was amazing. Glad I listened to my body and ate what it told me to!

We also has our first post-conception u/s today. Our clinic's u/s machines are not very high powered, so we didn't know if we'd be able to see anything yet, but there it was, right where it should be, our gestational sac! Yayyyyy!!!!! There was something in the sac as well, but the machine isn't high enough resolution to have picked up exactly what it looked like. Doctor refuses to say what it is because she can't get a clear image, but it was obvious that she thinks we were looking at the yolk sac.

We go back in for another u/s in a week (23rd, 6+5). By then, we should be able to see more. And we're having the doctor in charge of the entire clinic doing the scan. He's the one who did my transfer. Then another scan on the 30th (7+5) by my regular doctor to check for heartbeat if the machine isn't powerful enough to pick it up next week.

That amount of relief I am feeling is INTENSE.

One, maybe two, more ultrasounds and we should have proof that everything is okay.

Great news Bunny. You little bean is a fighter!! Yay!!!

Heya girlies - hope u are all doing well?

to those having a tough time of it and to those who are pupo or have success!! generally lots of all round lolol xx

Am going to update the front page again as not been online in a while, appologies if any info is still on the front page that is no longer relevant. Hopefully it wont take me too long!!

A quick update on my progress - i started the buserelin shots yesterday as AF was LATE!! its sods law and It ALWAYS happens to me xxx

Great for starting meds. From now on the times goes faster. Are you on long or short protocol? Good luck. X

Long protocol i think - well seems pretty long to me anyway just not sure if its classed long or not? Im doing 3 weeks of dr then about 2 weeks of stimms.

How are u getting on hun? is ur FET on the 21st Sept about? xx

Long protocol or agonist cycle. Probably you are going to start DR on day 21. Let us know how you feel on DR. Are you doing spry - synarel or something else. Use to get me headaches for the first week. Soon stims for you. Yay...

AFM I am going Thursday for a scan hope all OK. Last week I had a corpus lutem left about so hope will not influence. and I can trigger the next evening then the clinic wants to take the embies to day 5. I want them back on day 2 as I only have 2 day 2 but they don't do this. They scheduled me for 26 for transfer. But I think may be day 3. I hope they will defrost and make it there. On Thursday I will know if the other lady got pregnant.
I will probably go with the clinic because they learned so much from my body and I will have the next IVF with them with antagonist protocol as can control my ovulation.

Well now beta came back at 864. So, doubling time of 82-84 hours. (Not sure of exact draw times...) I am so tired of these numbers not making sense. Going to be a long wait until u/s and 6th beta next Monday. Maybe I'm just one of those women who just has a wonky hCG rise? I think the number is still inside of "normal" And my average rise time from bfp until yesterday is also inside of normal.... So who knows?

 

[dovkav123]

Our bean is waiting for me on Thursday at 12pm. My incubator is on and ready for it! I am taking 600mg progesterone. One at am, two at pm. Dr. adviced me to take it orally.

What were your dr. orders after the ET, ladies?
