Im starting to feel a bit anxious now, ive been quite chilled up to this point! Woke up last night and started thinking the most random things! We were talking about 1 or 2 embryo transfer last night, i only recently passed my driving test and hubby bought me my dream car, which is really dinky, and i worrying about having twins incase i cant fit a double pushchair in the boot! Infertility really does make you crazy!

 

[noasaint]

[BlueStorm]

Noasaint, waitingmids, & havelove2give - Welcome

Good Morning ladies!!

Welcome to the new ladies!!!

For anyone going for sonos, testing, etc today...good luck and let us know what happens ASAP!!!

Mrs.C-I still had that small cyst on my ovary last time they checked but the doctor said he wasnt worried. So I think we'll be fine.

AFM: I think AF is on her way out already. 1 week till my doctors appt!!!

Hi Mobaby! How many embryos did you transfer back with your first two rounds?

Two, beautiful blasts. I think I am going to ask for 3 although I doubt it will happen. I will only be 30 at transfer time and he told me before round 1 that 2 is the limit. But so far no success with 2. But can't hurt to ask!

If you dont mind me asking does your doctor ever give you reasons why he felt it didnt work? Or do they just not know?

I'm sorry love What are your estrogen levels supposed to be?

Haj: he doesn't know because everything has looked great on paper. He thinks it may have something to do with quality because we are only getting 2 usable embryos on day 5. But the embryos have looked okay that we used. The d/c products had normal generic testing. I have a fibroid so he has said to remove it if bfn on cycle 2 but since we had bfp and no indication fibroid is encroaching on endometrium then no need to remove it. My saline u/s was perfect. So this ivf cycle will be different to see if we can get better quality. Dh has severe male factor infertility so I'm thinking this has something to do with it. But I like my RE I trust him. He has been recommended and is he director of the program. So i trust what he is telling me. But if 3rd time not working I will consider switching for next year. But this time is going to work so I'm not worrying about that

Good morning all and welcome to the new ladies!

Just returned from my supression check appointment with some disappointing news. I have a cyst on my right ovary (17 by 21, I think). Uh, I hate cysts! They said it could delay the start date for my stims, as they obviously don't want to stimulate the cyst. So, they did a blood draw, and if my e2 is under 50, we can start on schedule. I should know by the end of the day. Alscreetch, does this sound like the same test you had?

So, I am super down in the dumps right now and almost started crying at the clinic. What is wrong with me....I'm an emotional wreck!

By the way, the sounding was just where they took some measurements of my uterus. Not too bad; felt like an IUI or pap.

On a side note, two pregnancy announcements yesterday...awesome.

I'm so sorry hun!! I'm guessing this is the same thing as uterine mapping because they did my measurements at mine too. Was your cyst big? Mine was small and the doctor said it was fine when I went for my water sono. I wonder if it's still there if it will delay my stims as well. What is E2?

Try not to cry love, we are all here to support you!!!

They like to see the level under 50 & I came in at 51.96. I will attribute this to starting AF on day 5 after bcp. Then doing baseline the day after. Just sucked because I was really excited and wanted to start today.

Yes, this was the same test, no cysts, 22 resting follicles, just high E2. I did cry S08.

 

[s08]

alscreetch, I feel the exact same way about having everything delayed. We've all waited enough for our babies, and we don't want to wait anymore!

Plus, it was nice to have tentative retrieval and transfer dates for work, personal life, etc. But my new mantra is, "it is what it is."

You're not sure if youre delayed yet right? Or are you definitely because of the cyst?

I couldn't agree more!! My quote of the day is "Don't Poke the Crazy" Cause I am feeling a wee bit out of my head. I actually felt dizzy when she told me we would have to delay!!! I had the mock last week. Oh Well... we will get there girl!!
