Rachael-What an awesome thing to come into your life! That is such an amazing story and I hope the adoption works out well for you guys! You just never know what is going to happen in life. I know it is a different situation entirely, and I'm sure you have plenty of resources already, but we did an international adoption earlier this year and if I can help in any way, please let me know! If you are in the US, the immigration process was pretty easy. How hard for the little girl but how wonderful that she will have a family. I am so excited for you!

Jeck-you sound like you are feeling pretty good. I am so glad to hear it! I hope you are sleeping peacefully and not in any pain tomorrow. Keeping my fingers crossed to hear about your fertilization rate!

Malinka-so sorry about the injections. I really feel for you on that. Hopefully you will find a method to make it easier on you.

Jeck - 28 eggs wow, that is fab, let's hope they are getting well acquainted with DH's swimmers.

Gina - I also hate the pessaries they are not nice at all but I suppose the are better than an injection. How was work today? I didn't go in, I chickened out but am defo going in tomorrow.

Racheal - that is wonderful about the adoption, you'll have a brood before you know it! Good luck tomorrow with ER will be thinking of you.

Charity- Glad your back is better, don't worry about the meds. I also started off on 225 and was increased to 300 and I had 18 follies altogether so you'll be fine don't panic

Hey girls

I am very discouraged today. I just had my scan and the Dr. said it looks like she will get 3-4 eggs during ER which is Friday. I told her I was discouraged and she wanted to know if I wanted to switch to an IUI cylcle. I was shocked! I have been through all this and now she wants to know if I want to do IUI?? I told her I still wanted to go for it and she seemed happy about that. DH said that she just suggested the IUI because she wants us to know we have options, that we don't HAVE to do the IVF if we don't feel comfortable.

I am worried that the 3-4 I get won't fertilize. Then what? I'm left with nothing. She said there is an 80% chance they will fertilize. DH said that was good odds so he wants to do it. I'm crying and confused. What do I do??

I feel like I have come this far and I have to give it a shot and pray it works out...

Jenn- try not to be discouraged (easier said than done I know). 3-4 eggs is good.... remember all it takes is one strong embie to work his/her magic. Try and stay positive, we're all here for you!

Keep your chin up sweetie,

Jenn - Please do not stress. I know how you feel! I went through that yesterday. Try to relax and not worry. I am set on getting quality eggs out tomorrow and so should you. Eat right and enjoy some luxuries. Last night I took a bubble bath and ate a hugh ice cream sunday! This morning I went in for my acupuncture and I feel great! Like everyone said yesterday, it quality not quanity. I know it does not make you feel any better today, but the sun'll come out tomorrow....

I am sending you great big hugs today. I know this is hard and even harder to understand. Have faith, I do. God will make our dreams come true!

Tasha,

My prayers are with you right now. Let us know your results right away.

BLW I forgot how many embies did you have transfered? I know that cowgirlclass had three, but for some reason I don't remember yours. Anyway, I have all of my fingers, toes and legs crossed for your BFP!

Racheal

Jenn- try not to get yourself in a state. I agree with DH, the Dr was just giving you other options, 3-4 eggs is good it does only take 1 and the odds of fertilising are really good so I think you should go for it. it is quality not quantity. Even if you only got one egg it still has the potential to give you your longed for BFP! Keep smiling xxx

Jenn, I have been in your shoes before except that my dr. suggested that I cancel IVF. I only had 3 follies. I understand your frustration and sadness if that helps. I was floored when she told me we should cancel - I cried all day. I would take the lead of your doctor..... they have so much experience and know all your stats. It sounds like your doctor wants you to do it, so I would go for it. Try to stay positive!

thook · Post by **thook** » Tue Oct 03, 2006 4:50 pm

Racheal-

I actually transfered 2 good quality embies back... one of them was a 1BA and the other was a 2AB (I guess those are good from what my nurse told me). Hopefully I'll have great news for all of you ladies later on tonight...

Hello everyone! I am new here but I have been reading the posts for a few days. Everyone here is so supportive and I hope you don't mind if I join you.

This is our first IVF. I was on BC pills for three weeks and then Lupron, Bravelle and Menopur. My hubby gave me the trigger shot last night at 9pm. Tomorrow morning is the ER.

I'm scared but hopeful!

Malinka · Post by **Malinka** » Tue Oct 03, 2006 5:44 pm

Jenn, please don't stress yourself out, we girls, have enough stress as it is.

I had 7 follies, and on a date of my ER, doctor said that he is expecting to get only 2 to 4 good eggs, he got 8! So please don't worry before the procedure. It takes only one good one! I am sure everything will be great. We need to think only positively!

leap of faith, welcome and good luck!

Jen J · Post by **Jen J** » Tue Oct 03, 2006 5:53 pm

Jenn-I can imagine how frustrated and disheartened you are but as everyone has said it only takes one! I hope they will find more when you have ER as that is known to happen. Hang in there-this is so hard. I wish you the best.

Jeck-18 is awesome! Congrats! Do you know when you will transfer them back? I'm so glad it's going well for you.

Take care all. I am on pins and needles for my scan tomorrow. I just can't wait to get this over with!

thook · Post by **thook** » Tue Oct 03, 2006 6:02 pm

Jeck- 18 is a great number.... you have a ton of strong embies! How many are you transfering back?

JenJ- good luck w/ your scan today. I'm sure everything will be great.

Leap.of.faith- welcome.... glad you found us. I have only been on these boards for a short period of time and already I think of these girls as my second family. Everyone is great and always so caring. It makes your bad days seem brighter. Good luck with you ER tomorrow. May you get many strong follies....

Sending Baby Dust to Everyone-
