Waiting4GodsMiracle, I would love to have those meds! One of my closest friends has to pay for IVF out of pocket and it is putting a serious strain on her finances. Please personal message me if you are still interested in giving the Menopur away, I would truly appreciate it! Thank you!!

I forgot to add...my period also came a week earlier than it normally would have when I stopped the pill, so this is normal.

Hi, I did get my period after I stopped the pill while being on Lupron...it actually came the very next day after my last pill. Hope this helps!

Hi everyone!

It has been nice to read everyone's stories and I wish you all the best of luck! I hope it's okay to join you, I will do a majority of my meds in April and the transfer will be in early May.
I cycled in February and it ended in a chemical pregnancy...major bummer. But we are set to ...

Sonya...just read your blog...I am so incredibly sorry. It has been so wonderful following your journey and I hope you know how inspiring, interesting, informative, funny, and special it has been to witness. This seems so incredibly unfair...but I really don't know what to say besides I hope that ...

Hi Sruppe...just got my call today-BFP!!! My beta is 65 (9dp5dt) and I go in on Saturday for more blood work. So...I am holding my breath now til Saturday! So exciting!

I had my ET today and the embryos were 4AA and 4BB which the doctor seemed happy with. Wow...the whole full bladder thing makes you feel like you are going to explode!

Sonya, they won't give me any information about the embryos until it is time for transfer because they said so much changes in these few days, so I just have to wait! There is another trigger shot? I am NOT enjoying the progesterone shots, that's for sure...that is one BIG needle!

Sonya...wow, they must really be testing your patience, but you're right, at least you go one in an adjoining town. It's like they are working against you, instead of with you!

The nurse called today to let me know that I was going to have the ET on day five...not sure what that means, but I'll ...

Sruppe, hindsight can be incredibly frustrating, but maybe this break will be good for you. Stressing about bills can't be helpful so maybe it is best to have the break.

Sonya, I am speechless about the nurse's insensitivity and lack of empathy. It sounds like she is in the wrong occupation. I hope ...

Okay...I had my ER this morning and everything went well! They retrieved 17 eggs and I felt great afterward...I am kind of waiting for the discomfort to begin. When I woke up after the procedure I had some mild cramping but after some Tylenol, I feel great! I am sure it will worsen as the day goes ...

I am nervous about the ER, but also excited to have things moving along. OHSS doesn't sound good and I read it may delay the transfer and that embryos might have to be frozen and transferred at another time...is this right? Will it most likely occur after the retrieval?

Sonya...okay, so I went back to the doctor this morning and followed your lead-I typed the follicle size into my phone as he said them!! Here they are: Right: 22, 17, 12, 15, 21, 11, 16, 14, 11, 19, 19 Left: 23, 24, 22, 17, 11, 11, 24, 20, 16, 16, 11
I have NO idea what any of these numbers mean ...

Sonya-Good! It is a weird feeling, but it is good to know it's normal! This morning was kind of a blur...but I know that on my right side I had a few at 14, at least one at 15 and a few at 13. On my left side, they were bigger...a few at 15, 16, and one at 17, and I think a few at 13. I don't know ...

Hi sruppe, I really haven't had too many side effects to the meds...while just on Lupron I got headaches, but with the stims I seem to be pretty comfortable. I haven't had bloating or anything...the most I can say is that I can "feel" my ovaries (or so it seems) when I walk. Does that sound weird ...
