AFM - I just got back from my scan and everything's looking good. My lining is 7.5mm I have 4 follicles so far. Two on the left side and two on the right. They're about 8mm a piece. I'm a little worried that they may cancel the cycle since it's so early in the process and I already have 4 but I think it will be okay, they probably all won't get big enough to be considered mature. I haven't gotten the call yet about what dose of Gonal F to give myself but I can only guess that they're going to lower my dose from 75units to 37.5 units. That's what they've been doing. At least I know I'm a good responder so when I move to IVF I should get lots of follicles!Gotta look on the bright side
almosthere - Dont worry...my DH has Azoospermia, which is NO sperm(easier terms ...no fishies in his sperm that comes out). At first we were told it was a blockage, but when we did a TESE(Testicular Sperm Extraction) they found some sperm and figured it could be a reproduction issue. ICSI (where they put the sperm directly into the egg) was preformed on all my eggs. If there is a sperm issue, thats usually what they do. There is always ways around things.
Lindsay - Im sooo excited for you!!
MrsC - Thank you! Doing better now...started spotting, AF is almost fully here! I am taking the month off....going to wait until my next AF then I will start. Ill call them with CD 1 and not sure exactly how the rest works from there. In between now and then I will do a consult with doc to see exactly around when I will start and what I will be doing exactly. Next AF should be here by first or second week of Oct. Its going to be a nice break. Im actually looking forward to it. Oh, you can update me on the front page if you like. How are you feeling?
DaisyQ - Yay! Its ok, at least one is getting nice and snug in there!
Thanks Stinas-hope AF comes soon so you can get this FET show on the road!!! And we are so incredibly lucky to have IVF with ICSI in today's world-and I am so happy they were able to find some wonderful living sperm from DH...I cannot wait to hear about your BFP in the future!!!!!
And I saw someone said it...YES I START STIMMING!!! I am sooooooooooooooooooo excited!!!! I mean, obviously I am not doing a happy dance because I have to prick myself twice from now on instead of once, but you all know it is because it brings me a step closer each day to my BFP, eeek. I really hope this cycle works-I have not bit my nails in over 2 years and I bit them all off in nervousness and worry last night. I guess it feels more real since stims is tonight and that idea that I could just see a BFN in the end of this all makes me worry. BUT I am staying strong and will do another ivf cycle if need be
Ding Dong theis here, and I couldn't be happier
Start the BCP in the morning for about 3 weeks and then on to stimming.
Happy Saturday lovely's
Prayers and Blessings,

Stacy: You are still early for testing so I wouldn't stress over a negative result so early in the cycle. Blood tests are definitely more accurate so it's best to remain hopeful until then. Symptoms of PMS and Pregnancy are very close so it is hard to say what you are experiencing. I know I only get weepy during PMS and since being pregnant there are many close calls with weeping. FX that you get a positive result on Monday, Good Luck!
I have never been to Oregon. You should come visit NJ...there are a lot of us on here that can show you around! It would be good while DH is away!
Lucky me...figures....when I work a double AF is ALWAYS here...just my luck. Whatever...glad she is here and hopefully when she leaves she will visit sooner rather than later! Lets get this show on the road!
Congrats on being PUPO! Will you test before the 4th?
Stay positive! I'm sure today's scan will go fine. Good luck!
. I'm feeling eh. Not 100% - little queasy but I also didn't sleep well last night. Other than that I'm reallytred mid-day, hot flash a lot, and my sense of smell is unreal!!! Lol. I'm up at 5am because my second beta is this morning. So I'm erring ready and heading there!
are you going to test before your beta? Scan is in a few days, can't wait to see when my retrieval will be, I'm guessing towards the end of this week.
there are several ladies right around the same stage as you on here!!! Take a peek at the first post on the thread- Mrs. C does an awesome job keeping everyone's stage updated!!! Best of luck to you and the start of your first cycle!!! So exciting
Glad the nurse thinks it will be okay to start tonight. Good luck!! They always seem to have the largest growth in the last few days. Good luck! And my ticker says only 15 days until EC!! OMG!!!
Mrs C does an awesome job keeping an eye on all all!
Next scan tomorrow, hoping we'll fin out how they're doing by then! Hoping for egg collection thursday or Friday this week - waiting is killing me! Bit of a long shot any suggestions that I can do to help them grow?
almost: Yay for starting stimming tonight!! Pharmacies really stink when it comes to large orders of meds.... I have to go through mine with a fine tooth comb to make sure everything is there... I always go through it at the counter..I pull everything out and then check it and put it back in the bag! Last cycle I wrote down everything I needed, the amount, the dosage and everything on a card and handed it to the tech. Since I had refills the RE nurse didnt call in a new rx. Well, when I went to pick up the bag it didn't seem right and HALF of the meds were missing! I was like, okay I am missing several items. But if I would have gotten home and not realized it I would have been screwed
H twinkle! Welcome!
Likkle: Dont worry! They will grow! Then when you do the trigger shot they grow to their final size
AFM: Last BCP tonight!! THANK GOD! I hate them
Yay MoBaby! BCPs stink!
Nurse just called with my second beta
