Two week Wait after using fertility meds

[Godisgracious]

Hi all,
I am currently on my two week wait. My DH and I have gone the route of fertility meds as I have PCOS. I used Letrozole, Gonal F, a trigger shot on Saturday evening and had an IUI yesterday. I am 34 and he is 37. His sperm count was apparently really good after the wash (185 million) and the morphology and motility were good as well. I am feeling pretty positive about this. I had two follicles on my right during my last ultrasound on Friday. They were 1.6 and 1.8 and they wanted me to take the rest of my Gonal F pen (50 iu) I guess to help complete the process of maturation. What do you think? Do you think I have a good chance??? Is there anything I can do over the next couple of weeks so I don't obsess?
Additional information: I am 5'0 and 102 lbs. Last January I got pregnant with everything I did this time without the iui. Sadly, we miscarried and 5.5 wks (which is common for women with pcos) I have lost 10lbs since then and really control my diet. I have a very low carb diet and try to eat whole foods. Any suggestions? Any input or insight would be fantastic. I really feel like we have a good chance. I know ultimately God is in control and am thankful He has given Science as a means to use!!!

Hi

Good luck with your 2ww. I am gearing up for my IVF egg collection in the next week or so...and me and my hubby have written a list of things to do to occupy us during the 2WW.

Reading, going to the cinema, going on long walks, NOT watching baby documentaries on TV, going out for a date-night dinner, bowling (although i heard your not supposed to lift anything heavy so might get to use the kiddy-ramp) lol....Plus i will be working which will keep me pretty occupied.

Not really sure about foods - i heard high protien...but dont quote me on that!

Fingers crossed you get that BFP! X x

Hi Tink,
Thanks so much for your reply. Wow, that is a great idea (to make a list of things to occupy your mind and to keep you busy)! Please keep me posted as to how you are feeling and if you get a BFP.

Do you have any children as of yet? I know that when you want something so badly, it is difficult to wait. I like what you said about not watching baby documentaries... Good luck and hope you have an excellent day!

Hi Tink,
How did your egg collection go? Thought about you.
Hope it went well!!!!

Hi,

They collected 19 eggs!! Was in alot of pain but much better today. The embryologist called this morning and of the 19 collected, 13 were viable, and 5 of those actually fertilised. Bit disheartened with the low number but trying to remember that we only need one strong and healthy blastocyst. All going well I have my transfer on Saturday! and ill technically be pregnant (hopefully)....want this so much!!!! How are you??? X x

Hi Tink,

I know what you mean about wanting it so bad. It hurts doesn't it? I hope that it goes well for you and hope that you will not be too stressed out. I am wishing you the best of luck! I know what you mean about being disheartened! We'll hope for one or two strong ones for you (or even more!!!)

I am doing alright. I was having symptoms, but I think it was due to the fact of being on prometrium. I have been so fatigued and trying not to analyze every different thing in my body. I am not 8dpiui. I have my hcg test next week. So until then, I will have to keep myself occupied

 

[Tink86]

Keep busy and stay sane everything is crossed for you!!

 

[Tink86]

Booked in for my egg transfer on Saturday.....one step closer!!

 

[Godisgracious]

Yeah! Keep me posted. How are you feeling about that? Excited? Nervous? I am not very familiar with the process of IVF. When you get the egg transfer this means you are pregnant right??? Sorry for my ignorance.

Yesterday was 10 dpiui. I had to go pee a lot yesterday. I have been emotional (could be the prometrium I am taking). So who knows? I go on Wednesday for my test and will know the results by Thursday! I am keeping busy as you suggested

 

[Tink86]

both me and hubby think technically I am pregnant as my egg baby is on board grade B blastocyst and have 2 to freeze too!! Now to sit back and relax....how are you doing??

Hi Tink,
How did it go? How are you doing?

I am doing well. AF has not showed up (14 dpo) I am tired, emotional, irritable and have sore breasts. It seems like a good sign. I will go to doctor's on Wednesday, so by Thursday I will know the results.

 

[Tink86]

Ooooh exciting! My breasts are so sore, but I heard that is from the progesterone I am taking...9days until test day for me

 

[Godisgracious]

Hi. Well shortly after I wrote the post, I had an unwelcome guest come...none other than AF. I am sad, as I really thought this could be the month. I don't know why she is a different colour than usual (brown and not bright red) sorry tmi I know.

I am rooting for you Tink and hope this is the month for you

 

[Tink86]

Oh, I am sorry! Try to keep your hopes up....it will happen!! X x x FX for you
