Carebear,
Sorry to hear you are in pain. I hope this gets better for you.

I got AF yesterday afternoon and my baseline u/s is tomorrow. Still on 10cc of Lupon and then will begin Follistim. Not sure of the dosage yet, but it will probably begin tomorrow evening and go for 10-12 days.

Have a nice weekend.

Hi everyone,
On Day 10 and had my u/s this morning. I most likely will trigger tonight with Ovidrell 250, still waiting for the call from my nurse. ER on Sat. My follicals are 22.3, 20.8, 19.3, 16.7 and 15.9 on my right. Left 19.9, 19.3, 18.8 and 17.7. Getting excited and nervous for the ER. We are putting back two embryos. Happy thoughts for everyone.

good morning ladies, well i feel horribily bloated nd i feel my ovaries with every movment, ill be glad when retirieval day gets here. so yesterday after my apt my doc called to say he needed to see me today because my levels were high, so i went in today and i have about 10 follies and a mim of 15mm in size the highest one was about 17 so everything is great in that aspect. so i now have to wait for my doc to call cause he might change my dosage in gonal-f and if all goes well retrieval day will be mon or tues and and i have a poss 18 to 20 possible eggs that they can take so the stimming journey is almost over it seems to have gone by fairly fast. so i will keep u ladies posted after the doc calls this afternoon.

lynneyd congrats hope all goes well with retireval, well adies ill be back on later!!!

Brandi, I'm so sorry you are in pain! Sounds like your follies are doing good though! That's wonderful!

Lynne good luck with your retrieval!

I'm on my 3rd day of stims, so far I feel nothing. Time seems to be going slow today. My first u/s and b/w from stimming is Saturday.

Go to tickerfactory.com to set up a ticker. It takes you through the steps. Then copy the bbcode and paste it in your signature. I did my ticker to reflect my other obsession- Harry Potter!!! Hope y'all have fun with it!! U/S and BW at 8:00 am tomorrow!

lupron 5 units 1x a day
I start on June 16
my estrogen on the 12th was 23
thanks for keeping up with the list

Elvisbaby · Post by **Elvisbaby** » Fri Jun 15, 2007 2:23 pm

Mybaby: my day one E2 was 16.

Hope everyone is doing good this morning. GROW FOLLIES GROW!!!!

kerribell: I had a friend to accupuncture during IVF and she said that it really helped her to relax. The said that is supposed to help in other ways, but she found relaxation the best thing. I would do it if I could, but there are no accupuncturist that specialize in fertility where I live.

I also found that a nice one-hour back massage works well too. At least it did for me!

Hi all,
I took my trigger shot at 7pm last night. ER will be 7am on Saturday. Getting nervous. My ovaries were sore for about the past 3 days. I do feel discomfort, but nothing that has been horrible. Kinda weird but I like feeling them cause I know they are at least doing something:) Best of luck and I will let everyone know how it goes. I'm off all my meds as of last night except my pre-natal vitamins. I will take 1 gram of Zithromax tonight. SOOOOO not looking forward to my progestrone injects, I have the circles the nurse did for us.

Take care all,

Lyn,
OMG!!! Good Luck!!! Let us know everything, when you're feeling up to it!! You are the first in our group- don't you feel special? LOL!!! I hope everything goes GREAT!!!!

jeneden · Post by **jeneden** » Fri Jun 15, 2007 7:11 pm

I had my U/S and BW today. All's quiet on the ovary front!! My estrogen level was 29, so I start stims tomorrow!! Now, if I can just remember how to use the Follistim Pen.....
