I am so happy for everyone and their fertilized eggs. That is the first step. I have not posted because I did not want to cause you all anxiety. I got 3 eggs - most of my follicles were empty and the 3 that were in mature follicles were immature(it doesn't make sense). So they were unable to be ...

Hello- I had my retrieval this morning and I am pretty disappointed. I ended up with 7 mature eggs and only 3 eggs came out of that. My husband overheard the embryologist say some fragmentation but that they looked good. So I am just praying we end up with fertilization and that they live. As the RE ...

LA- that is great. I go for my ER tommorrow. I gave my trigger last. I will have Demerol/Phenergan and Halcion prior to. I will probably fall asleep. I respond prettty strong to meds. A day 5 transfer is great. I wish my RE would do that.

MGB: I have gained about 3lbs since my stims. But I usually ...

I just got back from my U/S and I will have to take 1 more day of Stims. So my ER will be on Saturday. Which is good. I have 12 follicles and they are hoping to have 8-10 mature follicles by the time they retrieve them on Sat. That's not much so they better be good!! Is anyone else getting crazy ...

LA- Congratulations- I am so happy for you and DH. When are they putting them back in. First we worry about our eggs, then fertilization.... It goes on and on. Itsgottawork: it may be a blessing. All the early U/S do are make me worry about each result. Tina- you shouldn't be running in a Turkey ...

Tina- I stayed sick to my stomach with headaches until I started the Menopur. Then I was fine. Now on Day 7 of the stims I am quite nauseas. I am sensitive to this so I wonder if it is from my estrogen going up. Tina& MGB- I have been doing acupuncture for about 2 1/2 months. I love it. I ask her to ...

I had my Day 9 U/S this morning. Now I have 9 follicles and I have 2 more days of stims to grow a few more. I am hoping for a modest 12. My ER date will be This Friday! Yeah I am so excited.

Odie- I am so sorry to hear that you have to wait. I know that can be frustrating.

I had my U/S today. I have been on stims for 3 days so it is a day early- they wanted to avoid the weekend. they saw 4 little follies not measuring size and my E2 is still pretty low 85. My RE said that this is exactly where I should be. So why am I still worrying. I am so paranoid that I won't make ...

Stephanie- Did they give you an option for the progesterone suppositories. I am tired of shots so that is what I am going to do. But, I hear that they can be a bit gross.

LA- that is so exciting. 8 Mature eggs is great.

Girls: Positive thoughts to lots of little follies on Friday.

Once this gets started it seems to go fast.
I am taking 375 of Menopur in the pm and 5 IU of Lupron in the am.

Stephanie- we are on the exact same timeframe. I started my stims last night. I am taking Menopur and it took forever to get it all mixed up. I have an U/S Friday also.

BFP's for Christmas for everyone!!!

Hi Everyone,
I had my U/S today and I start my stims tommorrow. I am on 5 amps of Menopur which is tons. I guess they aren
t worried about OHSS. 4 our baby- what did you find out?

AF finally arrived. Nice and crampy. yeah! I have an appt. monday so I hope to start stims on Monday night. I am an overplanner so I keep trying to pinpoint the day of everything- I may be driving myself crazy.

4our baby: does you clinic have a pager number that you can call. They need to see you ...

Well I have to agree about the Lupron. I thought everything was fine- but really I feel terrible now. But, I was told yesterday by my RE nurse that the Menopur will balance out some of the effects of the Lupron and that most people feel pretty good on it.

Welcome Odie- I am also still waiting for ...

I am doing acupuncture. But with that I am doing meditation and some accupressure massage type things. The abdominal massage it is the same pressure points that they use in Acupuncture to increase blood flow to the uterus. Also, lower back massage is good. Just make sure you don't do any of that ...
