IVF May/June/July 2015, Lets Get Ready!

[waitingongod1]

betty you said cd7-9, what is considered cd 1 in IVF? First day off birth control? 1st day of spotting? or first day of shots?

Rooting everyone on in Stim World!! Go ladies!!

 

[PecksTTC]

Hi ladies

Silently rooting for you all. Still trying to have a life that does not revolve around infertility although going for my scratch on Monday which is making it a reality I guess.

For all of you in Stims good luck. Agree with white it feels like ages ago we did it but it was less than a month! It goes so quickly and in hindsight it is not bad. It is the waiting for the results that I felt was the worst!! Now it is the count down to transfer!

I am not online everyday now but I am cheering all of you on!

Krissy when is is your transfer?

Great numbers betty sounds like it's coming along well. Hope your other follies might grow yet don't loose hope.

I'm in AF land and waiting a couple of months before next stimm. Can't wait to hear some more bfps come from all this egg growing

Cd in ivf is classed as the 1st of full bleeding before 2-4pm technically on last 3 cycles I started stims cd1 this time cd2! So I should of said before 7-9 day of stims lol !

Confusing all this malarkey isn't it !

 

[MrsL4]

hahahha yess betty, too much lingo in IVF world. I just totally gave up counting things once IVF started (which was actually kinda nice for a change!!)

Update on the embryos!

ER was Monday.....where we collected 20, 12 were mature, and 9 fertilized.....all with ICSI

Today (day 3 embryos), we have:
four 8-cell
three 7-cell
one 11-cell
and one 5-cell

The dr was really really happy and said there are only 2 of the 9 that aren't looking that great

So keep growing embryos!! and get STICKY!!!

Transferring Saturday am probably!

Nice growing eggies, mrsL4!, so glad stims are going well for you all.

My husband linked this to me today with the comment " OMG, in a few months we might be expecting a superhero ". I hope you enjoy the ivf visual as much as I did.

[222excited]

Good Luck Hopethisyear .Fxed for you

Mrs.L, Thats an awesome number.How many you would be transferring ( Sorry if you had mentioned it before)? Good Luck with your transfer tomorrow

 

[bettybee1]

Hope - good luck !!!

Mrs- wow amazing bet you was sore after 20 collected !! Yes your 8 cell & 7 cell sound perfect !!!!



I had bloods and scan this morning biggest follicle 16mm the rest all 12,13,14 ish ! About 15 that are like that rest are small 9mm etc !!

Nurse phone my back e2 level are 12,500 which are sky high so reduce dose back to 225mlu and then back in Monday for scan and bloods and probably trigger then and ec Wednesday touch wood !! Xx

 

[MrsL4]

We have been torn about transferring one or two - but ultimately we are going to go with our doctors decision....which unless something crazy happens, she strongly favored single embryo transfer. I am nervous nelly but hopefully we will have a few that are strong enough to freeze. We are paying out of pocket, so I can't see us doing many more fresh cycles, but we are open to 1-2 frozen cycles.

betty - wow lots of eggs, but that is a HIGH estrogen! hope you are feeling okay!

my e2 only got to 3k or so, but after retrieval i just felt terrible. I was also working 80+ hrs a week that week, so i could have a lighter schedule after retrieval. the last two days of stims through 3 days past retrieval were pretty rough for me....my body just said stop! lay down! just listen to your body and rest when you need it

finally feeling better, thankfully.....ready to go for tomorrow!

 

[WhiteOrchid24]

So excited for you all!!

Betty are you freezing the embryos? I had a look and my last E2 levels taken a day before the ER was just under 10,000 and that was one of the reasons why we had to change and go the FET route... I can't remember what you are doing but just wondered if it's something your RE has discussed with you?

MrsL - good luck tomorrow!!! So excited for you - you have some great little embryos there so I hope all goes well. Sending

Krissy- how are you? When do you do your transfer?

Hope - I hope your scan went well!

Hi to everyone else! So much happening on this thread, it's great!

AFM: Had awful ovulation pain last night - I had to take Tylenol it was so bad... Maybe just still recovering from last month, who knows! Anyway means I can expect AF in 2 weeks give or take then I can finally get started back on with the FET!

Have a great weekend girls!

 

[bettybee1]

Mrs - egg collection really hurt me last 3 times after aswell is horrible !


White - the clinc just said 225mlu and said it will be interesting to see what scan shows with levels like that ! That was it !!!!
I know if levels reach 30.000 the cancel for defo!
I guess lowering the dose and maybe if they trigger they might have to use a different one like and lh one !! God knows!!!


I do feel very bloated today !! X

 

[Hopethisyear]

MrsL - I hope you are getting some rest. Good luck tomorrow! My flights are only about 40 minutes each way but it still means getting up at 4:00AM to get to my 8:00AM appointment.

Betty - I hope your levels stay low so there is no cancellation. Sorry about the bloat, no fun.

My appointment went well this am. Nothing crazy here, but there is some improvement. I have one 11, five 10's and nine smaller follies, so about 15 now. I'm still on the same meds and Sunday I start cetrotide. Up to 4 injections a day. My next scan is Monday and we are looking at Thursday for ER.
