My RE didn't require anything...I came home from ER and layed on couch all day. Starting feeling really sore that evening and did for the next 3 days- like almost hurt to walk- so I walked very slow- I had my students watch a movie so I didn't have to do much. I went back to work for 2 days and then ...

That's weird b/c my RE said icing it helps. I've been icing it for about 2 minutes while DH prepares the shot...he gives me the shot- I BARELY feel it go in. Then I sit on a heating pad on low for about 5 minutes afterwards....no problems. Today, I decided to try other people's advice- heat it for a ...

5 fertilized and all 5 are still with us...we're set for a day 5 transfer on Friday!

I'm extremely disappointed right now. The nurse just called and sad we have 5 fertilized eggs. Transfer is scheduled for 11:00 am Wednesday. I know it just takes one, but I'm disappointed all the same. I hope the 5 can hang on.

9 good eggs retrieved today...will keep you updated.

I haven't had many side effects! Knock on wood...I did gain a couple of pounds, but I try to stay off the scale. I'm set for retrieval Sunday and I feel bloated, but other than that I really feel ok. Some people have hot flashes on the Lupron, but I didn't. There were a few instances when I was in a ...

FUH- Glad to hear your number is growing! My ER is Sunday so I can watch my football game on Saturday!

Well, I go back for U/S and B/W tomorrow morning too. They measured 18 follicles again- 14-19 mm so they're growing! I told them I have a big football game to watch Saturday (VA Tech vs. UVA) so we'd really prefer to have the retrieval Friday! :) We'll find out tomorrow if all will go according to ...

Yes, I'm doing my first IVF right now. ER estimated for Thursday or Friday of this week.

RE called- keep the same dosage tonight and come back in the am. I had at least 18 follicles- ranging from 11-17 mm this am.

I wouldn't stress about it. Everyone's different. I had one friend who was convinced she wasn't pregnant b/c she bled for 9 days (so obviously thought it was a long AF). When AF didn't show the next month, she got tested and was 9 weeks along! Here's hoping it was IB for you!

Wanna and MM- I'm so sorry. Have you decided what you'll do next?

Mimi- I stick with the same dosage of med and go back in to RE Monday am. Dh has to fly to SD for his aunt's funeral. He's coming back Tuesday at noon so he won't miss the big day. I figure worst case scenerio- RE is shocked and we ...

FOH- That's great! Congratulations!!!!!!!!!!!

Went to the RE this am- She measured 6 follicles on each side (all ranging from 7 mm-9 mm). She said there are more, but they only measure all of them once they get to be about 12 mm. My dosage is remaining the same: 5 units of Lupron, 225 of Gonal F ...

My dosage is remaining the same: 5 units of Lupron, 225 of Gonal F and 75 of Menopur. I go back on Monday morning ...

that's how they do it in VA - take blood; call you later.

Good luck wanna be!
