I usually do. They drew my LH level so I am just waiting for the phone call to find it out and know when to go in.

I had the procedure. Everything went well. They don't do another U/S. We had 57 mil with 77% motility whch was a lot lower than the last time but doc said it was still ok. I guess we will know in 2 weeks. Ugh! You start the Lupron in 2 days!!!!! Yeah. When do you go back to the doc?

I'm glad everything went well. Now you're on the official 2ww.... fun, fun!
I wish you a BIG BFP!!!

I go to see my RE the same day I start the injections. The nurse is supposed to show me how to do the injections and I guess I'll get to speak to the doc as well. My regular RE is on vacation so I'll be seeing his partner. I'm anxious to get going with this!

How did your appt. go? How long until the next step?

Ugh-I feel like crap! I think it is the progeterone suppository. I have been cramping and my back is killing me. I hope I don't have another cyst.

Not good. A NO GO for now. RE found a cyst. He's afraid the Lupron will make it worse. So now, I'm waiting for AF to arrive next week and will scan again to see if cyst is gone. If so, I'll start the Antagonist protocal next week. If not, I'll have to wait another cycle. Pray it disappears this week!

Sorry you're having pains. Hopefully it's not a cyst and just the meds. When do you go back to RE to test?

Bummer! That sucks! I will pray that evil cyst is gone. What is the Antagonist protocol? Sorry-I don't know much about IVF treatments.

My pains are a little better. My stomach is real tender. I'm wondering if it is from implantation or the progesterone suppository.

I'm crossing my fingers for you.

This protocal is shorter, less injections and the meds are somewhat different. Instead of the IVF taking 2 months, it will only take one.

Maybe you got an embie implanting! That would be wonderful!

Well, why wouldn't they always do that protocol if it is shorter and less meds?

Have you ever heard of anyone having pains with implantation? I hope that is what it is. I woke up this morning and was so nauseated but once I got up and around it got better. I can't wait only about a week to test.

Each protocal is chosen basen on the woman's egg reserve, fsh and so on and also if you have cysts I believe. Some women don't need to be suppressed as much as others with the Lupron or they won't produce any follies.

Where is the pain mainly at? (center, side)? You could post a new thread to see if anyone else has had that.

I'm taking my 5 year old daughter to see the Cheetah girls this weekend. We're leaving today for Charlotte. I'll check your posts when I get back. Have a good weekend.

You drove to N. Carolina? I hope you girls had fun!

My pain is better. However, I am now nauseated when I wake up and off and on during the day. Ugh-I can't wait to test. I am debating on when to test. I hate testing early and then being disappointed but hoping it was wrong for several days. Our first anniversary is tomorrow so I would love to tell my husband then but it will only be 9dpo. I guess I'll wait.
