Question???

I am on day 4 of stimms and had the stretchy egg white clear cervical mucus! Is this ok/normal in a IVF cycle???

In a natural cycle with me it means Ovulation will be in the next day or 2!!! A little worried, but sure it's ok!! Just need some of you experts to re-assure me!!!

hope every1 is havinga good sunday!!! The sun is shining here!!! going back out in it now!!!

Nicki, that is normal. How often are you going for your labs? They keep a really good eye on this to make sure you don't ovulate too soon. It's rainy and cool here today. But I'm enjoying it. I love rainy days.

Donna-Thanks for the well wishes…

Jessica…GOOD LUCK…I will be thinking about you and hoping they are gettinglots a big fat mature eggies from you. Let us know when you can tomorrow. I think you are about 3 hours behind me, I am central time. And yes I am very nervous. We will both be fine!!!

Rebecca-Congrats on the shots...the end of the week will be here before we know it!! Good Luck Monday with the scan and bw.

JackieG-Welcome to the group we can always use more support and we have plenty to give!!!

Jovigal-Congrats on AF..you are on your way!!!

Anie-Wow you are progressing nicely. 17mm, any day now!!!

BWHD-I love that name…Aspen. My pup was the best dog I ever had as well. I think Samoyeds are great animals and the best pets. My trigger went well thanks for asking! Good luck with your baseline!

Nicola-You might want to ask your doc. I had the same thing last night and I had taken my trigger. Hope all is good!

Well the trigger went well and now I have the day off. It was much needed. My DH is so cute. Yesterday we went to the grocery store and today he is cooking all my favorite food so I will have plenty to eat this week. He is on vacation this week to take care of me. Every time I try and help him he tell me to get my big fat ovaries and high estrogen level self out of his kitchen…the eggies need to rest. LOL He is amazing. I go in at 8:15am and I wish this day would hurry up and be over…I wish I could go to sleep and wake up tomorrow. Everyone keep your fingers crossed for me…I need a lot of eggs so I can have some non-needed snow babies…I will not need them because I am getting a BFP! I don’t think I can do the shot thing again. It is just too hard in the body and mind.

I will let everyone know as soon as I can tomorrow as to how many we get!!!

Nicola,

Just wanted to pop in and wish you loads and loads of luck on your cycle. I really hope it works and you get a huge BFP honey.

On the cervical mucus, it is very normal. I got the same on ovulation and had it on all my IVF cycles too. I promise you won't ovulate because the suppresant drug will stop that (I was on buserelin).

JesJes and Smattison, my dear girls, good luck tomorrow. I hope that you will be calm and that all of you eggies will be the beast class!! Let us know how it goes...


I feel like a smallest chick in the flock… My AF still not here; I have some spotting though, but that is not a full flow. The funny part is, if my dear ol’ AF waits until tomorrow or Tuesday, I don’t even have to take BCP; I can start steaming right away because by the time I’ll be ready for the EC the embryologists will be back from their Spring brake (rested and ready to produce most beautiful embryos)….


The rest of the girls, have a nice and smiley Sunday!!!
:D :D :D :D :D

CroElla - you may want to give your clinic a call...my clinic told me that they count even the first day of spotting as CD1 but yours may not.

Charlie, thanks for updating the list. It does make it easier to keep up with everyone.

Hi Ladies,

I just got a call from our clinic today and it’s a go for me to trigger tonight at 7:30 PM my EC will be 4/3 (Tuesday) at 7:30 AM. OMG shots free tomorrow :D Today’s u/s result follies were measured up to 22mm lots of matured one. So excited!!

Quick questions: Anyone know if I can return unused follistim, Ganerilix and menopur?
Yesterday I just spent additional $400 plus for 300 IU follistim, 1 box of 250ug Ganirelix, and one 75 menopur, because my nurse told me the wrong info. She told me that very high possibilities that I will trigger Monday night instead on Sunday night after she told me that I was a little worried because my meds are enough till Sunday night only, so just to be safe I bought additional meds for me to use for Monday morning and now I’ve found out that I will trigger tonight so I don’t need those additional meds I bought yesterday because I don't need the follistim and menopur tonight. We are self pay on this cycle so I really hate to spend additional $400 plus for the meds that I don’t need, considering this cycle cost a lot of money. Anyone has experience returning unused meds to their Pharmacy? Did anyone have any unused meds leftover, and if so what you did with it? Seems like a really big waste for this really expensive meds.

Hope everyone having a great Sunday…

Anie-Congrats on the trigger. Unsed meds...Once you get a BFP I would donate them. I do not think you can return them to the pharmacy. But you can call and ask. If you can let me know because I have a lot of left over meds as well.
