Hi Debz!
yes, I am doing IVF. My husband had an operation for testicular cancer 10 years ago. Luckily, he thought ahead and froze sperm at that time. We are doing IVF and ICSI. It's amazing to me that they can do this. I'm just hoping this will all come together and work. Anyway, I am on Menopur (sp?) and Lupron. Yesterday they told me that I had 18 follicles. They will do labs/ultrasound tomorrow and all weekend. Right now, I'm scheduled for ER on Tuesday. This is my first time. I don't think I'll repeat the drug cycle but we do plan on freezing in case this doesn't work.
I feel pretty bloated at this point but the shots haven't been too bad! So far, things are going well. I hope you are feeling well. This is a great site.
Cac wow that was great thinking on his part 18 follies is fantastic i will cross my fingers for you all this goes your way it would be great for you to get the best result first time and ive seen it happen ... thats great you r not feeling too bad with the shots you dont have too long to go now till tuesday..we will all be here waiting to hear...thinking of you, yeah i love this site i dont know what id have done without being able to vent with everyone....
how are you all doing today? i hope everyones going on really well thinking of you all hugs

Geeez girl so much happening around you. Good luck i hope you have tons of patience. how are your follies doing, i am sure they are going i have PMA going their way. I hope you will go in and find out that they are perfect size.!!
I had my ET yesterday and put back 3 embies. I pray to God that at least one will hold on, because they are sooo wanted you can only imagine.
I hope my tww will go by soon. its day 2 and im already annoyed of being at home. its strange i think its totally psychological. my test was supposed to be on the 18th which is a sunday but they wouldnt have results till monday..so i opted to wait one more day and go in on monday the 19th. fingers crossed ! and with Jesus on my side i hope to God this is the one for me.
Cycle abandoned due to no growth with follies - first time I have not got to egg collecction so feeling quite tearful at the moment. Nurse said that its probably due to my age!!
Anyway follow up appt. booked for 20th June to talk about going forward -not ready to give up yet!
Good luck to everyone else on the thread!! Sorry there is no personals - feeling very down as you can imagine.

ok so i went in today had a different DR (really liked this one) she looked at my scan and said my ovary is like a buch of grapes she was smiling like a cheshire cat and said im doing wonderful,
i was almost going to cry she said they didnt go down like i was made to believe yesterday but there are so many follies they measure the smallest and largest and a few in between to get an average ...how flippin happy am i right now...they are between 14-17 today im waiting for my call to get my blood levels i know it should be between 900 and 1200 to be on the right time line for developement she also said she thinks the ones i was told are new cysts are not they are big follies
im having tons of pain and it really hurts like hell to get my scan done and loving every ounce of it too bring it on ya big fat follies.
cant go see my M-I-L today she is radio active and she doesnt want glow in the dark grandkids (very fussy )so i have just benn on the phone with her all morning shes doing well ...thanks for your kind words you guys are great
lots of love and hugs kisses for our babies in waiting Debz
