Well ladies, its 4dp2dt for me today and I have to tell you I feel like AF is coming and soon. My back is killing me which is always a sure sign of the nasty witch. I hope and pray this is not true since its only 6dpo (if I were in a regular cycle) but with my IUIs I never made it to OTD. Hopefully its implantation.

I got the results of my first scan- only 5 follicles, plus 5 more less than 7mm. I was hoping for more, as we all are. How am I supposed to have leftovers to freeze? What if I don't get any viables? :sad:

Jessica - I was really slow with my follie growth. I was so scared, and then one day it was like BAM there they are. I ended up having 18 eggs and 6 great grades frozen. Hang in there, I know how hard it is, but your body with cooperate.

Ababy - I felt the exact same way. So much so, I was running to the bathroom certain AF was here. It's torture that PG and AF symptoms mimic each other. We're stressed out enough as it is! HAHA.

Hang in there

Ababy and Prayerful hang in there ladies. We will pull thru and hoping all these seating on pins and needles is all worth.

Megan how are holding up

No formula to surviving the tww. Am going nuts already

God, sekky i know just what you mean... We're on the same schedule but my OTD is 10/3 (my RE tests 2 weeks after retrieval date) but its a maddening wait nevertheless...

I'm crying today and I don't know why!! I was fine in the morning and now the tears won't stop Tried some chocolate cake, didn't help... my sleep cycle's gone crazy, up all night and tired all day... The worst part is not knowing if its the meds causing side effects or those twinges and cramps are the little bean attaching!!

Jessica, Chickadeedee, this cycle when they first scanned me, i only had 2 follies on each side and I was devastated... I thought we'd have to cancel this cycle or maybe consider donor eggs, but it increased slowly... the day of the hcg trigger they measured 18 follies, the smallest one being 10mm... and 36 hours later, they retrieved 24 eggs... they develop slowly ladies... you don't know until they've retrieved them...

 

[sekky]

Sorry Megan hope the tears stops hopefully its the hcg from the little bean. Do you plan to poas before 3rd?

This is my first ivf cycle! I started taking meds today! It is a short cycle apparently and I did t have to take the bcp because my period is so regular (male factor) we are having icsi too. Very nervous and hoping for a good outcome!

Welcome eveclo and good luck!!!!

I hope so too sekky... I'm feeling AF like cramps today too, but its too soon for AF, so i'm guessing its probably the ovaries shrinking down to normal size...

In my first failed IVF cycle, I was so confident it had worked and I didn't POAS, and I started bleeding the night before OTD... it was heartbreaking... [One of the trainee doctors at the clinic called me back with the results that it had failed, and I hated him for the insensitive manner of delivering the bad news ]

I don't plan to POAS this time either, considering AF comes so close to the OTD, I might as well wait till the next day for a confirmed blood test to tell me the outcome... I WILL request that someone else call me with the results though!! I CANNOT handle that guy calling me again!!

Are you planning to POAS? Your OTD is 10/9 right? Stay positive... Fingers crossed!!

 

[bunyhuny]

Congrats on starting meds, eveclo! Time flew for me while I was on meds- I hope it does the same for you!

 

[Prayerful]

Ababy - Hang in there! Praying for you!

Megan - I hope all those emotions and twinges are a good sign!

Yay! Good luck, eveclo!!

Sekky - Hope you're hanging in there ok!

Hey ladies. It's been a little quiet in here. Hope everyone is doing fine.

Me just taking it a day at a time. 3dp5dt (8dpo) and 10 post trigger. 12 days till OTD

Cycle buddy Ababy, Samsfan and prayerful how are you ladies holding up?

 

[Chickadeedee]

Freaking out a little bit here - had my first scan Weds. My lead follicle was only 9.52. Total of 4 follicles. After 4 days of stimming. They had me start Ganirelix Wed night. According to my research, that is normally done when your lead follicle teaches 14mm!
I'm just panicking that I'm not responding to the meds well and I just looked at my stash - I only have enough Gonal-F & Ganirelix to get me to Monday night's injections. I just hope that my body wakes the heck up and gets into gear! Any comparisons to make me feel better??

 

[eveclo]

Thank you ladies! Glad I have found this forum post I will be forever asking questions I'm sure! Have the scan on Tuesday so see how they are growing! That will be day 5 of injecting.

How long after beginning injecting and everything were you ladies ready to go and have EGg retrieval ? The doctor said I may be ready to go on the Friday coming? I thought that sounded so soon! But she is the expert!

Thank you for all your kind wishes xoxo

I had the trigger on day 10 of stimming. I believe they said they'd like to see at least 8 days of stimming, so if you'd have your trigger on Friday, that would seem fine. We just went through our first IVF with same male issues (count was around 1M). It sucks but I'm glad we found out pretty quickly and as of right now it doesn't seem like I have any issues. I got my first BFP this week!!

Good luck!!!!

Today was the first day that I really strongly had the urge to test. It is probably a good thing I am working all weekend, otherwise I might break down and POAS!

I didn't take Ganirelix and I'm not sure what it is equivalent to so I can't really help you in that area. All I can say is these docs have been doing this for a long time so trust that they know what they are doing. Good luck!

I did 10 days of stimming before I was ready for ER. It does go quickly!
