Hi ladies so after a 45 min delay and being the last transfer of the day I am officially puppo! However I cried immediately after transfer as they told me right before that my sweet embryo did not survive the thaw but my second and last one left did. It was bittersweet it's like a loss but I hope my other beautiful grade ab expanded blast gets nice and snug so I can meet my son's twin as they are from the same ICSI cycle! I test March 1st with beta very excited I pray so badly that this works.

Yay for being pupo Almost. That is exciting. Am sorry the other embie didnt make it. But lets celebrate you are pupo!

March 1st will be here before you know it! Congratulations. My fx are crossed for a BFP.

Afm, Follies are still behaving. Biggest is at 20, smallest at 10. Trigger set for Sunday night and retrieval Tuesday morning.

Have a good weekend ladies.

Goodmorning ladies,

How are you all holding up. Hope you had a good weekend.

I did the trigger on Sunday night and now waiting for ER tomorrow. I did alot of things to relax me this weekend and will do alot of relaxing today too. I will update after ER tomorrow or day after. I do not do well with anesthesia. It knocks me down for 2 days or so.

 

[almosthere]

Start how exciting gl tomorrow! Sorry to hear you don't do well with anesthesia. I feel out but have since et unfortunately trying not to lift to much today as I'm back at work but we have two 6 to 9 month old babies so it's tricky.

 

[wannabeprego]

okay so this is the plan, I talked to the nurse at my RE's office today and we are going to go with the protocol that I wanted to try. So I will not be doing the BCP's. Fingers crossed my body gets back to normal and the cyst goes away just from taking a break from the meds B4 the next cycle baseline. So I will be doing 10 units of lupron on CD21 and staying on the lupron until my AF comes. Baseline scan should be CD2 and I will drop down to 5 units of lupron, and start estrace if everything looks good on the baseline. Wish me luck! CD21 is 03/06 so that is when the fun starts. I am going to have to get some more lupron and I still need to order my injectible estrace. $$$$ money and more money!!!

This pretty close to is the protocol I am talking about.

Good luck hun! I hope you get lots of healthy eggs from your retrieval! Please keep us updated!

I still remember my retrieval and it was very easy! It went smooth! i just remember being sedated and waking up, then it was done! I didn't have any discomfort after or anything. Hopefully you won't have any problems with the anesthesia this time! Good luck! I think it seems a lot scarier than it actually is!

 

[almosthere]

Wannabe gl! But not sure if you know bcps reduce cysts normally atleast it's what I've read. ide ask your nurse about that maybe you already have though.

Thanks for the good luck wishes and for the advice!

The nurse asked if I wanted to do birth control pills and I decided not to. She did say that the cysts could go away on their own since I stopped medications this month. I just didn't want to try anything new and I am not a fan of all of the birth control pill's side effects. I never took them before so I am not sure how they would affect me. I just did a google search an this is what Dr google said about BCP's.

"Birth control pills (oral contraceptives) are used to prevent ovulation. Without ovulation, the chance that ovarian cysts will form is reduced and your symptoms may be relieved. Although birth control pills do not make ovarian cysts go away any faster, their use may prevent new cysts from forming."

 

[almosthere]

Based on that since you already have one slowly going away you should be fine so exciting! I can't stand being on bcps ide just rather be natural but even with mfi my dh still wants me on something I could care less a natural miracle pregnancy would be a dream for me haha.

 

[wannabeprego]

[almosthere]

It's still early so no worries just yet, I got my fingers crossed that the next time you test you get your BFP! Good luck and loads of sticky baby dust to you!

 

[almosthere]

Bfn today might wait to test until Thursday if I can help myself. I had hot flashes yesterday then today punchy crampy almost like ov pains in lower left stomach maybe my uterus even haha and right after very dizzy like I was on a boat had to sit down. Feeling back in the game I read online 9dpo is average implantation timing which I thought was late! Last bfp I was 12dpo so I want Friday right now haha.

 

[Star2011]

Retrieval went well. Everyone was so nice. I went in for 11:30 and was out in the recovery area by 11:50. We retrieved 16 eggs. I will be waiting for the call tomorrow on how many fertilized. Am taking a break from shoots for a while now. I am doing a FET. Thats what my RE recommends. I am still loopy from the anesthesia. Am also blotted and having some minor cramps. I will write more later. Thanks ladies for the good lucks!

 

[almosthere]

Start that's a great number I think that's what I got with mine!
