All 5 are still growing perfectly! Day 3 and all are averaging 8 cells! ET tues at 930!!

 

[HuskyMomWI]

Out of out three embryos, two are now 4 cells and are "good". One is 5 cells and is "fair". They want to wait and do a day five transfer with assisted hatching being done tomorrow. I am nervous about not having any to transfer on day five but the dr seems confident that we will.

Hi ladies,

Gosh, so much to catch up, we are a chatty bunch!

Princess, congrats on being PUPO. Wonderful...

31andtryings - yay, willing your embies to divide, divide and divide!

And congrats to all you ladies that had ER over the last couple of days, hope you're all recovering well.

Mrs Bear - all the best for tomorrow!

AFM - got the call yesterday telling me I had to go in for transfer in the afternoon. Rushed around finding an acupuncturist that would do pre and post transfer acupuncture. Got that done, and went in at 2pm to have 2 8 cells put back, so I'm now pupo.

Apparently I have another 10 still going, but won't know till Monday or Tuesday if/ how many will be frozen...

Thats excellent news. I have my acupuncturist on standby xx

I am sure it will be fine hun. Have faith. I will keep everything crossed for you xxx

AFM - I have my ER tomorrow at 10.15am. I just hope this follies have been doing some serious growing. My acupuncturist gave me an hour today so I am nice and relaxed. She is also on standby for the day before ET which I imagine with my numbers will be Wednesday.

I had a lovely last ride with my horse today. Met my husband and dog over the woods for a nice hack Will miss riding but cant wait to be PUPO

Xxx

Kristy good luck for er tomorrow, got my fingers crossed!

 

[aem118]

Good luck tomorrow kristy! Excited to hear your results!!

 

[Springy]

You are all way ahead of me!! I hope some of you will follow along when its my turn!!! (I know I have you Carolyn) haha...

Congrats to all you ladies who are now PUPO and good luck to all you stimmers!!!yay!

Yes you do!!! That was the deal ... You and a few of the others have to follow me in March/April

Ladies so many of you cycling it's hard to keep track. To those who have transferred congrats on being PUPO and to those who are stiming can't wait for your retrieval reports!

 

[Mrs. Bear]

PUPO with 3! Transfer wasn't pleasant - full details in the journal as usual

 

[Hoping1986]

Fingers crossed for all the PUPO ladies!!!

If anyone is doing the progesterone suppositories, pls posts details...Im scared just looking at the box...

I dont remember giving myself shots to be this painful. I swear when I was stimming for iui it wasnt this bad. DH refuses to stick me, and having to do it twice a day...ugh. Im only on DAY 3. Babydrms how is it going for you?

 

[Mrs. Bear]

hippie - congrats on starting stims

aem and 31 - yay for growing embies!

kristy - good luck for retrieval

hoping - what type do you have, front or back door? I didn't have suppositories per se but had capsules for my IUIs that I inserted vaginally and other than the normal progesterone side effects it was just messy so I always wore a liner.

Don't worry Springy and Berki - your still my buddies!!!! (I hope I'm still yours!)

Fingers crossed for all the PUPO ladies!!!

Ok, first off my doctor told me straight out the vaginal suppositories are gross, but I still asked for them opposed to IM injections...well, this is when I thought I would be using them just at bedtime (this is how we use it in our high risk patients in OB)...so I get the boxes and sure enough I have to do it three times a day!! I may need to change to shots!

As far as the injections - we definitly crashed in burned tonight, lol. So somehow, two injections turned into 4, with 5 sticks. Started out with Gonal 300, no problems (DH did it) - didn't hurt at all. So then I mixed and drew up the Menopur and I started to stick myself and pulled it out because it hurt and handed it to DH - he then stuck me again and when he started to inject we realized that the needle wasn't on tight and the medicine squirted on my pants. So trying to guess, we estimated half...So I mixed another, drew up half and DH injected it and then I felt the burn and I realized that I must not have gotten any of the other because I didn't feel the burn...So i drew up the other half and injected that too. Ha! So I figure when I find out how many days I am going to stim I will figure if I need to order another dose.

Day one down...

 

[Springy]

babydr - hopefully today's shots go better than last nights!

As I told 31 perhaps lay everything out and go slowly ... I found going slow and reading each step with my gonal f really helped calm me down and made things more manageable.

 

[HuskyMomWI]

Babydrms...I agree with springy. I had one day where I injected my sink with menopur while mixing it. Keep the instructions handy and go step by step. It removed some of the stress. Also, with menopur...if you let it sit for 5 min after you mix it the medicine won't burn as bad.

Fantastic aem, just what you wanted to hear!x

Xxx

That hack sounds lovely kristy! How was ER?! Hope you got a couple more than you expected? xRest up!xxx

PUPO with 3! Transfer wasn't pleasant - full details in the journal as usual

Oh dear, hope your alright now! Congrats on pupo with 3!! wow! I have never heard of anyone on here (BnB) having 3 yet! Why 3? x

Fingers crossed for all the PUPO ladies!!!

If anyone is doing the progesterone suppositories, pls posts details...Im scared just looking at the box...

Don't worry they are fine just annoying as messy! I had to do them twice a day, they look like little bullets. The ones I had (Cylocest of something like that?) you could pot front or back, so I rotated! Back makes less mess x

Oh my goodness! i would be freaking out! one day I spilt half of my injection, I was so upset! Hope today is better! You are ahead of me, I was meant to start today, but now starting 2nd.........xx

Goodluck for all the er's and et's!!!! as springy said (I think) its very hard to keep up! xx

 

[HuskyMomWI]

Hey ladies

Egg collection procedure went fine. A little sore now but is fine when i lay still. The result is not good. Just 2 maybe 3 eggs they say.. Looks like only 1 may be mature. Thet said they would call this arvo if they look no good when they start preparing them. Not had that call thank god so hopefully get a call tomorrow with at least good news on one eggie.

Hope all u other ladies r well. Will look at posts when i can get on laptop. Am on phone at mo xxx
