[waitingongod1]

wow lots of great news! So many going to egg retrieval!

Went to Day 6 of stims ultrasound. Was happy to have it confirmed that there are a lot of eggs growing in there and doctor was happy about it! yah! Now just waiting for his call about my blood work on what we are doing next! Fingers crossed that there won't be too many more days of stimming.

 

[N8ie]

Waiting I'm glad you are responding well to the drugs. Soon you will also be going for the ER.

Sprinkling pregnancy dust to everyone😊. I'm still in pain, recovering from my ER

 

[bettybee1]

Waiting - glad your doing well on stimming

N8 - hope you get some relief maybe a bath will help soothe

Yes taking ovrtriele this time 6,500mlu on my 3 rd ivf cycle I took lh trigger ! But 1&2 took this same one !!
Having to set my alarm to wake me up at 11pm as i am going to bed now have a 13 hour shift tmro !!!
Ward work when your tummy feels like this is rubbish thinking of swapping my shift on Thursday if can don't wanna work day after ec not 13 hours anyway!!!

 

[N8ie]

Betty- my trigger shot was ovitrelle too. Please set more than one alarm so you definitely wake up for your shot. All the best

 

[MrsL4]

betty - good luck! i would recommend changing your shifts for thursday. i work hospital shifts too, and i was working A LOT prior to retrieval.....and i was just wiped out. it took me at least 36 hours to recover after retrieval. not sure what your job is, but you may feel pretty crummy especially if you are on your feet a lot

waiting - glad to hear you got some eggies growing!! hopefully that will keep ya going the next few days as you get towards the end of stims! and think, you are probably over 60% of the way done with shots! yayy!

krissy - missed hearing from you! you will be PUPO soon too!


i am only two days post-transfer but just worrying myself silly......i keep telling myself to let it go, it will be what it is.....hard to do that when you are so emotionally invested.....i am hoping i will hear how many were frozen by tomorrow, maybe that will ease my worry if i know there are some waiting in the freezer......

glad i got a busy few days with work, will take my mind off of it!

 

[waitingongod1]

thanks for the support ladies! My nurse just called, said my day 6 stim bloodwork looked good. I wasn't suppose to go back till Thursday Day 9 of stims for ultrasound and blood work, but now Doc wants to see me tomorrow morning for more blood work and to speak with me and told me to bring the medicine I have left back in to see what I have left? How much blood work did you guys do during stims? Trying not to be concerned with it because he seemed so happy about my ultrasound this morning.

 

[Hopethisyear]

Just posting quick on my phone at the airport and then I'll go back and read what's going on with everyone else.
STIM DAY 10: I flew over for my last monitoring appointment this morning and scheduled ER for Thursday. He said my blood levels and lining are looking good and depending how things go if I decide not to do PGD, I'm looking good for a fresh transfer. But we are going to play everything by ear and see how many eggs and embies we get. I just don't see doing PGD if I only get one embie. Here is what I have growing so far.

16 -3,
15 -1,
14 - 1,
13 -2,
12 - 2,
11 - 6,

So one more night of shots tonight and trigger tomorrow night. Grow nice and strong little eggies.

 

[MrsL4]

Waiting - I had blood work with every ultrasound (3-4 I think?)

Hope- that sounds like a good idea to decide pgd based on how things go with retrieval and fertilization. I've seen it work out for some girls where it didn't make sense to do if you have less than 3 or 2 eggs.... ESP if you are have two transferred. It is a great option if you have a good amt of embies or of course, genetic issues or recurrent miscarriages

 

[bettybee1]

Hope - everything sound brill yeah I wouldn't waste money on it if you only have 2 or something


Mrs - nursing hun so yeah will be on feet all 13 hours apart from my 30min dinner break !

I have woke up feeling very bloated and uncomfy this morning I took trigger bang on time I did set 3 alarms haha!

Waiting - good luck for today again ! I've had bloods done 4x with every app! You might be nearly ready ! Or you might need you dose upping will depend on you e2 levels


Well of to get dressed then 13 hours shift for me boo hoo!!! X

[KrissyB]

Hope - sounds like your numbers are great!! Definitely a good enough haul to do PGD I think... lol although I contemplated it having only 2 so maybe I'm not the BEST person to weigh in.

AFM - It's official! FET date set as July 7 (7/7) and 7 is my lucky number

 

[N8ie]

Yay Krissy seven sounds like a good number.

 

[waitingongod1]

Betty- no idea how you are working right now! Let alone 13 hours... I am a teacher and happen to have the time off. I couldn't imagine

Krissy- Always feels good to have a date down and a countdown to it!

I actually got to have another ultrasound and blood work today. I must seem like an IVF virgin at the doctors office, I have no idea what I am doing there haha.. Everything looks great! He hasn't told me a confirmed amount of eggs but just says there is a lot! Hopefully Stim tomorrow and trigger shot on Thursday, ER on Saturday! Yah! Guess I will be doing progesterone shots.. anyone else do these? Do these start after retrieval or transfer?

 

[bettybee1]

Waiting- some people do the shots after ec some after transfer I personally was on allot of progesterone supportries and I started mine straight after egg collection on my last successful cycle I also took aspirin and estrogen they said start it all 5daus after I was like no !!! Haha so don't know if that mad the difference !!


I know don't know how I have done today's shift someone asked me if I was pregnant coz am so bloated how embarrassing����
My feet feel like there going to drop off !

On plus side egg collection tmro and I've booked Thursday off now so no work till Saturday night

Hope everyone is well xx

 

[N8ie]

Waiting I'm on the progesterone pessaries, since the evening of my ER and I have been advised to insert them three times a day until I get the BFP.

I'm nervous about tomorrow, I have to call the clinic and find out when my ET is and how many eggs made it (fertilized, divided)

I still have cramps and constipation from the ER (the prune juice is helping though) and I look 6 months pregnant from being bloated.😁 I will update about what I hear from the clinic tomorrow. I'm praying and hoping for good news, if you can spare a prayer for me please do so. Thank you

 

[waitingongod1]

N8ie- Saying a prayer for you!

I wish my doctor would have let me done progesterone suppositories like I did with my IUI, but my doctor said he wanted me to do the progesterone shots with IVF... I will be so devastated after all these shots for this not to work! Blah.. oh well at least everything is going well so far!

 

[MrsL4]

betty - i am a nurse too, so i hear ya! good luck with your shift

 

[MissCassie]

How many days did you lovely ladies so stims for?

I had my scan today and only had 2 dominant follies at 12mm so I am to continue stims and go for another scan on Monday. And hopefully egg collection on Wednesday..

 

[Hopethisyear]

Wow everyone is really chugging along with their retrievals and everything. I'm hoping we see a whole lot of BFP's soon.

Cassie - I stimmed for 10 days with trigger and day 11 and ER will be on Day 13. What day are you on?

Betty - Good luck with your ER tomorrow! Get lots of rest tonight, drink lots of liquids today and maybe stock up on Colace.

N8ie - I hope you get amazing results tomorrow.

Waiting - You are so lucky you have time off. I'm also working through this whole time, but thinking of taking the day after ER off, depending how I feel. Sorry I don't know about the progesterone shots yet.

AFM - Huge headache today which has been the first side effect I've had the whole time. I trigger tonight and ER is Thursday AM. Just booked our flights and having trouble concentrating at work LOL...I'm so tired of flying but I'm so excited!

 

[waitingongod1]

Everyone is stimming and triggering!

Miss Cassie- What day are you on for stims? I didn't have my first ultrasound until day 6 of stims so mine were kinda mature by then. Everyone is different though. Tomorrow will be Day 8 of stims for me and I am hoping doc says it is the last day, I think he said I will trigger Thursday and ER Saturday!

MrsL- You might have already said but how many days after transfer do you have your first beta test?
