June-July Cycle Buddies

[summerbaby]

thanks so much for the words of hope & encouragement. It's so nice not to feel so alone when one is so far away from friends and family.

I wish you all a successful cycle and hope we can all find enough non-strenuous things to keep us occupied during the upcoming 2WW.

Kerri- Good Luck tomorrow. You never know- all four could fertilize and be all grade 1. Then you'll have plenty to choose from.. I'll keep my fingers crossed for you. Keep the faith!!
Amy- Where in the states are you from? Why are you in Germany?

[summerbaby]

I'm a native Californian who grew up in NY. My husband is German, so I moved here. Our corner of Germany is quite beautiful. It's been quite a wonderful adventure to live in a foreign country!

Kerri, interesting about what your dr said about your endo affecting your ovaries. I have an endometrioma on each ovary and I wonder if it hindered my follies from growing (they only ultimately retreived 5 eggs).

The two week wait is killing me already...I'm mostly upset because I feel that this just didn't work and I'm mad at the world right now!! I hate that I have to wait until 7/7 to know for sure.

Jen and Mybaby...good luck tomorrow!!!

Hello All,

I had ER on Monday, they retrieved 15 eggs, 9 mature and 5 fertilized. My ET is scheduled for tomorrow at 1:30 and I have to decide whether to put 2 or 3 embies back. I'm a little stressed with this decision and not sure what to do.

Laurie - Bloating is normal. I have the same thing.

Amy - Welcome to the board. 12 is an excellent number! We did tell some family and very few close friends. I was much more private on my first attempt.

Good luck to those having retrieval tomorrow!

Hi all, sorry been so long since a post, but I was in bed and away from my computer.

ER was on Monday. The hospital experience was not a very good one. They were running late to get me in. It is such a complicated story that it is no fun. I was in quite a bit of pain until yesturday evening. They retrieved 6 eggs. I was kind of upset, but what could I do.

I got a call from the doc yesterday and he said that all 6 fertilized. GREAT!

That is promising. We are going for transfer on Thursday. I will here today as to what time.

I know that I will be silent for a while, but I am sending you all good thoughts. Sticky feelings to everyone.

Hey Everyone- I just got back from my ER. I feel pretty good, but, like Rockrat, I am disappointed in the eggs retrieved. They only got 6 out of 12 follicles. I was really hoping for 9- I guess that is the number that was in my head. I'll just have to hope that most of them are mature and fertilize. It didn't help that my DH and I heard two others next to us who had each gotten 16. Oh well......

goodmoring ladies, sorry i havent reyplied much just been kinda down, i just feel too normal and then to top it off this morning i noticed the breast tenderness is gone...sorry f thats tmi...i just feel too normal this 2ww sucks and it seems as though mon is nt coming quick enough. but congrats to everyone who just went through transfer!!!

[carebear110b]

im sorry i meant to say congrats to everyone who went through retrieval......

[summerbaby]

Hello and thanks for the warm welcome!
Want to wish everyone all the best for their retrievals and transfers this week!
I have to call the clinic on Thursday to find out how things are going -- and to determine if we go in Thursday or Saturday for the transfer. Have no idea how many of our 12 eggs were fertilized - but I'll find out tomorrow. I saw my Gyno on the street this afternoon who gave me a big hug and wished me lots of luck and told me she hoped to see me pregnant in about 2 weeks time -- that was so nice of her!
After a down day yesterday, I'm feeling most positive and optimistic again...Hope to send those good feelings out to everyone!

all the best,
Amy

[summerbaby]

does anyone know why they do a day 3 or a day 5 transfer, but not a day 4 transfer?

carebear - keep the faith - you're more than halfway through the 2ww!
jeneden - I know it's hard to be positive when they said 6 and you wanted to hear 9. But, 6 is also a nice number! In the end, it only takes one good one and that is what you have to believe in.

take care everyone.
Amy

Hi girls. I'm feeling a bit better today. Sorry for my pity party yesterday!

Hang in there Brandi! You're almost there!! I feel the torture and it's only been 2 days of the 2ww for me!

Jen, I'm so sorry you are disappointed. I totally know how you feel. But 6 is good! I hope you hear that all 6 fertilized tomorrow!

Good luck on your transfer tomorrow Elvis!

Good luck on your fert report Amy!
