WOW! Four pages in one day! That will teach me to actually work and not check BnB during the day
Looks like this thread is going to be getting huge at that rate. Thank heaven for multi-quote
Had my retrieval today. My ovaries are the size of grapefruits and I feel like I've been run over by a truck. I am so glad the transfer is being put off until January so I can heal and enjoy the holidays. I start Lupron in 10 days.
Glad your retrievel went well and now you can focus on getting in top shape for your FET
In a nut shell I'm 10DPO this cycle and I really thought I was getting a good sign when my progesterone levels were at an all time high for me @ 38.5. Just felt like I am closer than ever before. Then at 8DPO I had a tiny but of brown spotting I thought could be IB. Hopes still pretty high...Then last night sort of the same thing....just less. (minute amounts mind you)
So now I am thinking maybe it's just AF trying to start early but can't cause I'm on the progesterone.
Any thoughts?
(tested this morning 10DPO and clearly a

Hi Klein
Sorry the TWW is driving you bonkers
10dpo is still early. FX it is just too early and you will still see your BFP this month
Hi, am new here. Failed IVF, got my BFN today
. 18 eggs retrieved, 12 fertilized and 4 transfered and still can not understand why it did not happen
. Still no AF at the moment, but am hoping to start next cycle. hope to start treatment last week in this month, wish me luck

Welcome doshima :wave:
Sorry to hear your IVF failed
Have you spoken to your Dr. about doing a short protocol instead? I'm 38 and my RE has me going straight from BCP to stims 5 days later. I think it is supposed to work better for us older gals. FX your next IVF does the trick
I had my second follow up after starting stims. I'm 8 days. I have 14 follicles measuring anywhere from 7-13 mm. I'd really like to know when my ER is.....ugh.
14 follies is awesome! With the lead being 13 I would guess you have another 4-5 days before trigger depending on how fast they grow with maybe ER around 12/11
AFM- bETA drawn today and was negative so waiting on AF now.
After getting the news, I think I'm still in kinda shock mode and my mind going 50 miles a minute with what to do next. She told me that I could continue with the clomid/IUI but will still stay at 50mg because I did ovulate and if I wanted to give injectables a try I could schedule a appt for tomorrow or the next day with the doctor to discuss it but it was left up to us. Part of me wants to sit out a month and part of me doesn't. But I think I don't have it in me to sit out a month. If I decide to go another round of Clomid, all I have to do is call in once AF starts again for baseline CD2 or 3 scans and B/W. The expense is getting so costly and feels like gambling every month. This month I lost again!
DH kinda suprised me after this cycle of emotions of him being so negative that it wasn't going to work. He told me that he thought we should do another clomid/IUI cycle so looks like that is what we will be doing. So now I feel better but I'm affraid this is going to be my last IUI cycle because I need to start saving for IVF to talk him into that expense. lol. But I do feel better since he was being supportive and positive.
so sorry for the negative
Go with your gut as far as sitting out a month goes. I have done it a couple times when the whole process just got to be too much and it really helped me get my head together. I forget, how many follies did you have on clomid? The next step after clomid is injectibles but if your insurance won't cover them they can get expensive really quick. If you are thinking about that route going ahead to IVF may not be that much more. As far as DH and the cost, the odds of IVF are way higher than IUI so it might be worth considering taking the money for a few IUIs and trying it toward IVF instead. Just something to think about as you have those conversations

IVF #1 - Jan/Feb
Status: Waiting to start injections
Welcome PatsGirl
As for me- I had my scan today and I have a few follies. 1x13mm, 1x12mm, 1x11mm, and 1x10mm. My RE only likes to trigger with 1-2 follies, so I'm hoping that maybe the 11 and 10mm ones won't grow fast enough. I have another scan on Wednesday. I'm also going to be switching from Follistim to Menopur now, just waiting to hear back about my E2 results and how much Menopur to take.
I don't think 4 should be too many to do the IUI (I've done 5 or 6) but I guess it is up to your RE if they are willing to do it or not. If not you can always BD
. Hopefully you will have the perfect follies and it won't be an issue though
I can't really explain why, but I'm just in a sad sort of mood. Have been since yesterday. So I'm sorry for not responding to everyone else, but I did read them and sent good thoughts your way!
So, I had my second ultrasound today. Everything is looking good. The follies grew over the weekend. Now have 8 or 9 that will definitely be mature. I have 4 to 6 bringing up the rear that MIGHT get big enough.
I go back for another scan on Wednesday. Depending on the smaller ones if they have a chance to catch up, my retrieval may be on Friday or Monday. So I'm definitely not getting cancelled.
So... why don't I feel happier!!???!! These stupid hormones. I'm sure they are to blame. I'm not hungry at all and just flipping tired and sad feeling. Can hardly wait to stop stimming/lupron and move on to the trigger and then progesterone. Just ready for this cycle to be over and HAVE A HAPPY ENDING, PUHLEASE!
Big
I think we have all been there and it is most probably the hormones doing the dirty work. The injections phase can get pretty tedious too with day after day of shots and scans. On the plus side it looks like you have some great follies coming along
FX for another great scan Wednesday
Hi ladies!! I wanted to join in
We just had a failed cycle of IVF with ICSI and we are scheduled for ER on 1/9-1/11...... I am more nervous for this second cycle and scared as hell! I feel positive that this will be our cycle. I look forward to reading everyones success stories and being here for anyone
I was in the IVF november thread, but since I am moving along to Jan now, this place seems more appropriate
I am on BCP now until 12/24, start Lupron Dec 21st, US/bloodwork Dec 29, gonal f dec 30 then add menopur a few days later.
Welcome MoBaby
sounds like you will be right in there with a lot of us. I know myself and 31andTrying both start stims on 1/7 so we will be about a week behind you. And I can't remember but I think there are a few more ladies starting early January. FX #2 does the trick for you
Nothing much to report for me - have my first pre-IVF acupuncture session tomorrow so I'll let you know how it goes
I'm going to go update page 1 with all the new ladies - if I miss someone please let me know
This is the place to be 
never there when you want her... 
Hopefully your RE will have some answers for you
