Congrats DangingDiva on being PUPO! FX for your BFP.

Congratulations Casperelf79!!!!!! This is fantastic to hear. Wishing you the best 9 months. I guess your clairvoyant was right.... It will be interesting to see if it's a girl. If so I need the name of your clairvoyant!

Afm - got approval from ins for ivf cycle so its official. I posted my entire schedule in my journal. Too long to post here! Im so relieved!

Congats Blue!!! So happy that you got your approval. You'll be PUPO in 1 month that's fantastic!!!

o got back from my IVF appt with Dr. Morris at RMA - basically I am scheduled for a lap on 5/21 and originally she wanted to send me right into an IVF cycle before the lab shuts down from June 20-July 20th but now she is saying that it would be cutting it close to the lap, and she would prefer to do it in August to ensure I have the best success rate possible. So we are doing this:

In the luteal phase of my july cycle I will start estrogen
On CD 3 of my cycle (which would be right around Aug 3-5th) I start my Antagonist protocol for IVF
So hopefully, GOD WILLING by Labor Day I will be pregnant!

I am upset that the original plan was pushed back a bit, but she says that I have a 70% rate of success for a live birth, so given that, I will do what she recommends.

How is everyone else doing?

Hey Jchic, sorry for the delay. I know exactly how you feel as I am on a delay too. I was soooo devastated when they told me I had to wait for an MRI to start. Frustrated by the length of time it takes to get in for one. When they told me June 25th I nearly had a breakdown. I almost decided to pay $1000 to have the scan done at a clinic. Then to make matters worse there was a strike threat for the local hospitals here which would have delayed me further. Luckily they reached an agreement at the 11th hour and we are still scheduled for June 25th. So all this means that I am going to be on a similar cycle to you. Hopefully start meds in July and ET/ER in August. Praying that my MRI is fine. I hear so many people on here that have had cysts but it hasn't delayed them as much as mine has. I think my RE is going a bit overboard. My blood work is fine so I'm frustrated. I just want to get started!

So happy for all you you that are on your way. It's great to see how much we have grown and all the support that there is here. Welcome to all the new ladies and good luck on your journeys! Hope everyone is doing great. I enjoy reading all the posts here while I'm sitting here waiting As this is my first time and I don't know anyone that has been through this before I really appreciate everyone that comes on here and posts about their experiences. Every time I hear someone get a BFP it gives me hope that IVF will work for us all.

Thx! I'm on bcp right now to calm everything down, then I start stims on 5/18 (2 weeks). Nervous, hoping this one will work. Also- my good friend just told me today she's 8 weeks along with no effort. Hopefully we'll have little ones a few months apart.

Oohh I should be on stims at the end of the month fx'd! So we should be in the 2ww together (along with a lot of other ladies in this thread!). My best friend is pregnant with twins, due next month so hopefully she'll be having her babies as I discover my BFP! Lets hope so!

That's great news Blue, must be a big weight off your mind!

AFM - Nothing to report, pre-IVF healthy eating has gone right out the window. Sitting eating maltesers and tomato ketchup flavour crisps, must make more of an effort! 3 days til I start Buserelin, yippee

[Lulu 07]

Hey Ladies!!

Congrats to casperelf and dancingdiva!!

Sorry I won't be doing personals right now.. I'm still out of it. I barely have energy to write. Thanks for all the well wishes from all you lovely ladies. The egg retrieval went well today. They retrieved 34 eggs!!!! Tomorrow I find out how many are mature and how many fertilized. I woke up from the anesthesia fine but about 10 minutes later I started getting a lot of pain especially in my right ovary. He prescribed some Tylenol 3 so I took one when I got home and it made me super drowsy (never taken narcotics before). I hope the pain gets better on it's own because I hate the feeling that the tylenol in giving me.

 

[MrsC8776]

Lulu that is wonderful news!! Sorry to hear you are in some pain. I hope you are able to get tons of rest. I look forward to updates when you can. Fx many of the 34 fertilize.

 

[MoBaby]

lulu thats great! 34! what was your e2? hope you feel better real soon!
dancingupo with twinnies! good luck, not long now!
congrats casper!
afm: still feel like crap with this cold and im soooo exhasted this pat week or so. but i start bcp in 1 wk! yippie!

 

[DancingDiva]

Hey lulu well done 34 eggs is amazing, fingers crossed you gets lots fertilised.

My test date is the 17th may so will be the longest few days coming up lol

How the rest of you ladies doing?

 

[daisy83]

That's great news Lulu - fx for you, hoping you get lots of fertilised ones!

Dancing - Roll on the 17th May! Are you gonna test before that or try and hold off

This is the extent of my day...

Have also decided to empty out cupboards and de-clutter them... think it's possible to get pre-IVF nesting???!!!!

 

[DancingDiva]

I'm going to try and hold off hahaha

Sounds like a good plan daisy I think I should be doing some of that today lol

 

[TTB]

Lulu - Wow 34 eggs, congrats!! Can wait to hear that they are doing fantastically and have fertilized. We didn't have any to freeze last time, we were beyond disappointed. My specialist has slightly changed my doses, he mentioned that tweaking the doses will often result in better embryo quality. Fingers crossed this time I get a more blasts this cycle.

alscreetch & Haj, yay for stimming!

DancingDiva - that is fantastic news

Casperelf - Congratulations! That is such wonderful news! Happy and healthy 9 months

BlueStorm - Yay for the insurance approval.

daisy83 - I think your onto something there, I have had a lot more energy to do housework recently which is strange. Lets hope it's a good sign

AFM - I've started stims, i'm so glad my cycle is underway. I have a scan and bloods on day 10, and expecting ER on either day 12 or 14.

 

[DaisyQ]

Daisy83 - that's all I did yesterday too! Like 6 loads of laundry!

Lulu! Great number of eggs! Anxiously awaiting your fert report.

Ttb - good luck! Must be exciting to have started stimming.

 

[Lulu 07]

Hey Ladies!! I got a disappointing fertilization report today. The RE said that out of the 34 eggs, only 4 were fully mature and so far one fertilized . He said that there's a lot that are almost mature and he says he expects some of them to mature over the next 2 days. I'm really concerned and scared that the one that fertilized doesn't make it to transfer day. I feel like all this pain I'm going through might have gone to waste. I was willing to put up with any kind of pain to have something transferred. The only hope I have is to pray to God that some of the other ones mature and more fertilize.

 

[MoBaby]

lulu it inly takes 1! i have read sooo many success stories with only 1- 2 eggies fertilized. if the other eggs mature what will happen then? do they have sperm to fertilize then? im sorry only one fertilized any reason for the high number bu low amount of mature?

 

[MrsC8776]

Hey lulu well done 34 eggs is amazing, fingers crossed you gets lots fertilised.

My test date is the 17th may so will be the longest few days coming up lol

How the rest of you ladies doing?

The 17th will be here before you know it! Any plans to keep you busy during the wait?

That's great news Lulu - fx for you, hoping you get lots of fertilised ones!

Dancing - Roll on the 17th May! Are you gonna test before that or try and hold off

This is the extent of my day...

Have also decided to empty out cupboards and de-clutter them... think it's possible to get pre-IVF nesting???!!!!

I believe it is possible to have pre-IVF nesting. I've been cleaning like crazy lately. Thats what I will call it from now on.

Fingers crossed that more will mature over the next few days. MoBaby is right though. It only takes one!!
