NOV 06 IVF girls....

[Casy P]

Can't believe how fast things are moving now. Haven't really had time to catch up properly but just wanted to say good luck to those having EC in next couple of days, and those of you already on 2WW.
Everyone else seems to be moving along nicely with their nmber of follies, keep up the good work.

Vicky- just read your last post. I understand you worrying if your clinic has said no exercise but just wanted to let you know that I did a 25 mile sponsered bike ride the week before my EC last cycle and the clinic were happy with that. Didn't seem to do me any harm as you can see! Sure you'll be fine but take it easy nowjust so you can relax yourself.

I'm finally going for BT and scan tomorrow so hope to start stimming tomorrow.
Have to say tho that I have had another stressful week with my daughter being unwell and then my childminder being sick today. I just seem to be getting so wound up, and have to say I will be truly amazed if this cycle was to work. Still waiting for my biopsy results as well so anxious about that too. Think I need to take a long deep breath!

Thank you Casey, yes I don't think my car was 25 miles away LOL, I know, I am probably being too alarmist, but what can I do....

Now I have another worry, in case I didn't have enough, sorry I am kind of a whiner today......, can you all please share what are your estrogen levels??, mine today went up to 4,050 from 1,800 yesterday, is that normal?????????

[Casy P]

Sorry Vicky, can't help with your levels as I was never told what mine were. I'm guessing though if the clinic wern't happy they would have told you. Hope someone can put your mind at rest.

Welcome beachbaby!! I am wishing you a VERY quick 2ww!!!! And of course a BFP!!!!

[k-rose]

Vicky, usually the numbers can double every 2 days, but I'm sure it's fine. Mine sometimes doesn't go up much from one day to the next, but then the next day it doubles, so it's kind of the same thing. I wouldn't worry about the high number, especially if you HCG shot is tonight. My peak level (last level before HCG shot was 6300 with my last cycle) You may have some mild symptoms of OHSS after retieval though with it.

Hi I start Lupron for supperssion on Nov 7th.

Welcome sugarmama!!, what injections are you starting?? suppression or stims??, anyway good luck!!!!, you will find this place as a whole new group of friends with whom you share something so important as trying to conceive!!...

[cinders101]

Hi everyone,

It's been nice reading everyone's blogs! I have been on Lupron for 5 days and am so excited that I haven't had any symptoms!! I'm starting stimms on Wed and am wondering how that will be. Can anyone share their side effects with the stims?? Can you still walk everyday while on stims?? Tx!!

KF '06 and Ellie I started stimming on the 27th and go in tomorrow as well. I just hope I have follies! Good luck to you both, and I'll look forward to seeing how things go for both of you.

KF '06- thanks, too, for your input about the Lupron. The information I had said that it should be kept refridgerated, but when I spoke to the nurse today (because I had freaked myself ou thinking I'd ruined everything!) she said as long as it had not been in a hot car all day it would be fine. I was so relieved!!

Good luck to everyone!
Jill

Hello girls, back from ER. I got 5 eggs, all from my left ovary. They couldn't even get to my right ovary as there were some blood vessels and tissue in the way, and they were afraid of hitting the blood vessels and having me bleed out on the table. I'm kind of dissapointed, as my right ovary was my big producer. I'm staying positive, and am happy for the 5 I have. It could have been worse. Hopefully they'll all fertilize. GOOD LUCK TO EVERYONE. ET is Sunday.

[elliecat]

Hi Janice just remember what everyone says on here it only takes 1. Fingers crossed they all fertilize for you.

Well i am back from my follie check and i have 22. They range in size from 10mm- 23mm this seems a rather large difference for me. Last time i had 26 and ended up with mild OHSS and had to go for FET so i am worried that this might happen again (do we ever stop worrying). Had bw this morning and back again for another us tomorrow my doctor wasn't there today he was with someone giving birth so i saw his daughter who is not as qualified as he is, but any problems i am sure he will call.(something else to worry about).

Hope all is well with you KF06 and Jill maybe we will have ER on the same day .
My DP is very funny when i have scans he refuses to come in with me. I can understand this as he probably doesn't want to see me legs akimbo with someone else down there!!! But he had the oppotunity to see the scan after but he said it doesn't interest him! Personally i think he thinks its a bit grusome and doesn't want to show it to me. MEN is anyone else like this!! I wonder what he will do when i give birth because he will definatly NOT get out of that one.

Take care all
Ellie x
