Bump

I see you had your retrieval. 15 eggs is awesome! Fx'd that you get an awesome fertilization report. Fx'd you get your BFP!

 

[greeneyes0279]

I just read your blog. Your estradiol was high. Mine was high with my 1st ivf cycle and I did hyper-stimulate. Are you drinking water or powerade/Gatorade? I found with my 2nd ivf that powerade along with a high protein diet and bed rest did the trick and I didn't have to get tapped. I drank water and ate high sodium diet with my 1st ivf and it made my ohss worse and I had to get tapped twice.

I am drinking LOTS of water and gatorade! They gave me a 32 oz. mug after the retrieval and I had over three of those yesterday. We got our fertilization report today and only 7 fertilized with ICSI. Thanks for the thoughts ladies!

[MissAnnabelle]

Age: 27
How long TTC: 1.5 years
Diagnosis or any known issues: DH sa was under 100k - low motility - high abnormalities
Treatments you tried before IVF: none
How many IVF did you do before success: two
Are you using donor eggs or sperm: no
Protocol (meds taken): Lupron, Follistum, and Sol X
How many follicles at ER: 30
How many eggs retrieved: 9
How many eggs fertilized: 8
How many days between ER and ET: 3
How many and quality/rating of embryos/blasts transferred: Three. two 8 cell and one 6 cell
How many days bed rest: Many. My estrogen was over 8k, so I was not feeling so great at all.
Symptoms or issues during 2WW: Mostly just issues from the estrogen and the progestrone - extreme bloating - heart burn - reflux - very tired.
What day you got your BFP: otd - 16dp3dt
HPT before blood test: yes, positive frer 11dp3dt
Number of first beta: 308
Number of babies: One baby girl
Anything else you would have wanted to know before you started this process: I had a rough time with IVF, but I agree with Michelle that once you get your bfp you will forget about how hard it was and just focus on how happy you are. It is definitly worth fighting for
Also, my re said the reason our first cycle failed was sperm quality. For our second cycle dh cut out alcohol totally and took vitamin E, C, zinc and royal jelly. Not sure if that was the reason for our bfp, but I'm sure it helped.
