Donna - That is wonderful news! I had spotting with Chloe and she didn't mind it a bit. Take it easy though. It's a good excuse to have dh pamper extra :wink:

Jovigal - Keep checking to hear your news! Hope everything is OK.

Smartie - I think it is a very good sign to have some cramping around that time after transfer. It means there is "activity" in there :D :D I'll bet that it is very happy activity and mild/mod cramping with early pregnancy is very normal. Keeping my fingers crossed and feeling very hopeful for you :D

Karia - Great job on follie count!

Susan - You must be quite proud! 5 pounds is great.

Vlada - Any news? Sending you prayers.

Nothing to report from me. It is hot hot in LA! Lovely nap weather. If only that pesky job didn't interfere with siesta time!

Karia - Wonderful follie count! Best wishes for a great ET and many lovely eggies! Keep us posted!

hey gals, just wanted to give an update. I'm not feeling too well so I'll have to do personals later. I had ER yesterday. I remember most of it including the pain and when RE nicked a blood vessel and I bled. I said, "I think I feel a warm gush down there." RE acted quickly and got it to stop. Oh well, to be honest I would have done better without any meds, especially since I felt the pain anyway. It was more discomfort than pain. They got 4 "good" eggs and all that I have heard so far is that I do have fertilization. I don't know how many or what grade they are. I go back Friday for the transfer. (Last time I only had 1 "good" egg so I'm quite positive this time). My dilema is, what if it's 3 or 4 embies??? I would definitely transfer 1 or 2 but it starts getting scary when you go above that. Then, if you only have 1 or 2 left over, do you freeze them???

My official blood test will be May 21st.

Jovigal - Wonderful news on your 4 eggies!! The RE I see won't put more than 2 back in unless extreme circumstances or if you're over 40. In both of my IVF tries I had embies leftover which they tried to grow to Day 5 and then freeze. Unfortunately I did not have any that made it to Day 5. Wait and see how your fertiliz results come out and what your RE recommends. My RE does only 2 to help minimize the risk of triplets. Best of luck to you for many wonderful embies. Keep us posted as to your ET date! Sending you much Baby Angel Dust.

Love,
Christine

Jovigal - Great news!! Grow embies grow!!!

Christine - Can you tell me more about your cycle. I am waiting to find LH surge and then start downregging in about a week with Lupron. I will then stim about a week later with follistim and menopur and supplelment with estrogen for my lining. Is this similar to your cycle. I think you said you had the long cycle iwth lupron. And I have elevate fsh, but RE feels real confident this will get better quality eggs with me. thanks for any of your history. Keep rubbbing your special belly. Such a wonderful gift! I'll get there soon and we can happily complain of nausea :wink:

Charlie - how are things wiht you? You do such a great job with the list and just wondering what you're up to lately.

Vlada - I'll be cycling very close to you in June. We're going to get there!!! Feb and March are wonderful months to have babies!! My dh is an Aries and they are great people :D HOw many frosties do you have waiting?

Hugs to everyone. Spring has truly arrived in California and it is gorgeous outside. I'm just peeing on sticks waiting for my LH surge. My clockwork like cycle is clearly off on holiday, because I should have surged yesterday!! Giving my ovaries a few extra rubs to get them moving!

Daly - What I did goes like this - It's called IVF-OCP-Microdose. I started with Birth Control Pills in April for 21 days - started Lupron on Cycle Day 19. Once I started AF (new cycle), I took Gonal - F on Cycle Days 4-10.
I stayed on Lupron until my HCG trigger date on Day 11. I also did Repronex on Days 7-10. So I think this might qualify as Lupron Long cycle as I was on it for 18 days? I hope this helps! Oh also - it's been gorgeous here as well! It's been in the 80's the last two days and we will have one more day like this.

Sugarmama - Did you have your test yet? I'm praying for the best results for you!!

I hope everyone else is doing great. I will post tomorrow once I have my 3rd Beta HCG results. A bit nervous as it's been a week so I'm crossing my fingers for the best. Sending you all much Baby Angel Dust! Take Care Ladies!

Love,
Christine

Christine thank you so much. Do you remember the dose of Lupron you were on? My cycle sounds about the same except no bcp before the lupron. (that's why I'm wataching for lh surge) Sending you prayers for your excellent hcg level. I couldn't help but be nervous before those tests as well. Babydust to your belly.

Daly - I did 10 Units of Lupron daily until Cyle Day 2. Once I had my first follicle scan on Day 2 they lowered the dose to 5 units daily. I'm a total geek - I did an excel spreadsheet for my last IVF and this one where I kept track of everything including the meds, dosages, etc. It helped to have the last one so I had a template for this one and numbers to compare to. Wishing you much Baby Angel Dust!

Christine

Hello,
Daly, i have 9 frozen embies, but they were frozen on the day after fertilization, so i don't know how they are going to develop because out of other 10 fresh ones only two survived, those were the ones that i got bfn with and they were not very good quality. I hope for the best, so we shall see....
