Tracey,,
I am losing my mind in PANIC.......Its amazing the worry that i am going through....What am i going to be like on my 2 ww ..... I am in need of advice. Do you know anything about follicle counts? If so how can i have 11 on my day 3 u/s prior to meds and here i am on meds and on day 6 i only have 8 follies..I just dont get it... On a normal cycle do they disapear after day 3 and only the 1 that becomes an egg stays? out of my 8 follies how many will convert to eggs? I am in panic mode can you tell?????I need to stop reading all these web sites its making me nuts.
Ok about the cost here i bought into a shared risk program 20,000. covers 3 full cycles of ivf ...i have to pay for meds and anesthia aside from the 20,000. meds are like 4,000. per cycle and the sleepy man is 700 If it works on my first shot I get 10,000. back ......
thanks for listening to my insanity.....

Hi Lisa
Stop worrying! Your body is doing exactly what it should be doing! On Day 7 of stims I had 11 follies and day 10 I had 16. At EC only 9 follies were large enough to drain and I ended up with 9 eggs, 6 mature, only 2 fertilised (with ICSI). I am certainly no doc but maybe your clinic only counts a certain size? Maybe your ovaries are so full of follies the scanner didnt pick up all the others from last time?
Regardless, you are doing everything right. There is nothing you could be doing that you arent doing....so just keep on going. You will be over this hurdle soon!
Off to bed - progesterone making me tired all the time!

Hello Tracey and Lisapa.
Lisapa: I think you are worrying too much.I'm new to this,don't have any experience but i thin it is important to relax and leave everything on doctor's hand.....and God's hand. All we can do is eat healthy,drink load of water (which im trying really hard to do) and be always positive.PMA!!!
Now i have few questions for Tracey:
Tracey,i know i should've ask this to the doctor but i was so excited to see the inside of me on the scan that i forgot everything!This scan was before starting the stimms.The doc.said the lining was thin and there was 3 folies on left ovary and the right one he couldn't see properly...
Is this good or bad....or normal: thin lining and 3folies for now?
My next scan will be on day 7 of stimms.
Thank you for your advice
Anie, the always smilie face

Hi Anie
I think that one of the purposes of downregging is to thin out the lining of the uterus so I believe thin was probably good, esp if you just had AF. When i had a baseline scan I think I had 4 follicles on 1 side and 3 on the other. So it sounds like you are pretty normal (or we are both abnormal!!).
I am sure if there was any cause for concern the doc would have mentioned it during your scan.!
How is everyone getting on?

ok ladies........sounds like everybody needs to take a DEEP BREATH!!!! from my caclculations ---- i'm trailing the pack for this whole process (stimms expected to start next week) and thus far - i've been able to maintain PMA......BECAUSE OF ALL OF YOU 
Lisa: although i can't help you w/ follicle count, you need to take tracey's advice and STOP WORRYING --- you need to focus on growing FABULOUS little follies!!!!!
it sounds like things are progressing nicely....sit back and enjoy the ride dear!!
Anie: nobody mentioned the excessive water drinking to me - UGH!! always been a challenge for me as well.....guess i better kick it up a notch! glad to hear all going well w/ your stimms.....doesn't sound like you're going in for nearly as many u/s & bw appts as i'm required to --- once i start stimming - i'll be in my doc office every other day (including weekends) and my doc office is an HOUR away!! hopefully my excitement will keep me from getting too bent about the commute - ha, ha
Tracey: GIRL - you are going to drive yourself NUTS if you continue w/ the HPT's!!! (not to mention dh) aren't you the one who was telling lisa to "stop worrying"...........right back at ya babe!!
it is out of your hands now...just continue to take good care of yourself, get plenty of rest and find SOMETHING to keep you busy.....have you ever done any scrapbooking??? maybe now would be a good time to start -- w/ the impending baby-belly and all!!!!
my appt w/ nurse erin could not have been a better experience!! i was so thrilled and giddy by the time i was leaving.....very silly......... nurse erin coached dh thru lupron injection ---- didn't hurt a BIT.....itty-bitty poke, almost nothing more than a mosquito bite!! that was in upper hip area.... and i gotta tell ya i was bit nervous about it cuz doc/nurse had said was one of the more "difficult" of the injections.....and i brought my entire pharmacy w/ me (ha, ha) to figure out what, when, where, etc!! nurse erin very patient w/ me..........dh such a trooper --- asking all the questions about timing, location, mixing of this/that, syringe/needle size --- AM LOVING HIM SO MUCH RIGHT NOW!!!
i do have to say i was a little ticked though --- so my calendar showed a "1/2 dose of lupron" on 7/18.......and because that script alone was the very bargain price of $650.00 --- i was curious about the "1/2" part.... so i ask when i'll be receiving the "other 1/2" and nurse erin says "oh - you only get 1/2......." ok - so what happens to "other 1/2"????? oh it's either used for patients that don't have ins (HELLOOOOOO - that would be ME!!!!! would have been nice to know AHEAD of time that this was a potential option!!!) or we just throw it out.......nice, real nice..... i was less than impressed that very moment.....
anyway....ta-ta for now ladies........lots & lots of happy, sticky baby dust to all!!!!

lisa: you crack me up
of course you're entitled to freak out a bit, and eventhough you mentioned being "allowed 1" ---- i would venture to guess it will happen again, because that's how this whole process works ------ and then you check in w/ your support group (US) who's job it is to put things in perspective!! (because we're all experts ya know!! ha, ha, ha, ha) how very sweet of your dh to call and remind you....isn't it funny how our dh's handling this whole process???? must say have been pleasantly surprised by mine!!
OH YEAH --- far as my inject teaching went, an absolute BREEZE!!! dh very on top of things.....bless his heart!! BUT FORGOT TO MENTION IN PRIOR POST ----- with regard to gonal-f injections.....my clinic is of the opinion that it makes absolutely NO difference if inject tummy OR upper thigh!!!!!!! so --------- upper thigh, here i come!!!

Hey Everybody!
It's so nice to read everyone's stories on here.
I'm trying to keep up the PMA and concentrate on relaxing over the next few weeks. My mom is being so supportive and told me yesterday she is treating me to a massage between my egg retrieval and transfer. I was really touched.
DH is acting kind of funny and said he's tired of talking about. We have been disappointed a couple times with the vasectomy reversal not working, and then they thought he was producing, and then he wasn't again. So now we have turned to IVF/ICSI for this first time and crossing our fingers. I understand what he is feeling and I hate the idea of being really positive and getting our hearts crushed again, but I think PMA helps. Mind over matter, right? I think I am going to try and remain as positive as possible, relaxed, and hope for the best!!!
So does anyone know if sex during the hormone shots is OK? I start my shots the 28th and hadn't asked the Dr yet. Also, are there specific foods you should eat and foods to avoid during the hormone shots to help the eggs grow healthy?
Work has been crazy. I'm a project manager for an IT company and thinking I may have to end up asking the Dr for a medical leave note to try and relax more the days between ER and ET. What does everyone think? Did anyone take off work and did it help?
Well, STICKY BABY DUST to all! I know everyone is going to be terrific mothers. I can't wait to read more BFPs!!!!!! in the next few weeks!
Thanks to all of you for being here. I don't know what I'd do without all the advice and support on this forum.

Jules: cheers to you on keeping up PMA 
i know what you mean about dh --- i really have tried hard to redirect all of my excited energy into this forum......because while dh is supportive --- he too believes i talk about just too much!! ha, ha, ha....but what can he expect when we decided not to tell anybody???????? have to vent SOMEWHERE!!!!!!!!!!! so THANK GOD for all you girls!! and i'm actually finding it much more comforting than discussing w/ dh --- so ha!!
and can i just say that it's great that you your mom is being so supportive of you.......my mother is one of the reasons we decided NOT tell anybody!! ha, ha, ha.......love her dearly and am very close w/ her --- but am afraid she would drive me NUTS during process.....can already hear her "are ya pg yet??? what next??? when will you know???" ugh - is dreadful just thinking about it!!
don't know about sex and hormone shots????? i DO know that my doc said is GOOD to have sex on day of "trigger shot" (HCG) - which is 36 hours prior to ER......says a lot of people think "the longer we wait, the more and better the sperm will be" --- but is not the case at all.....says are actually much healthier when no more than 3-5 days since last time... am glad doc told us cuz i was of that mind-set!!! (the longer......)
sounds like you have a stressful job
because of that --- i would absolutely recommend time off during procedure week!!!! my job isn't at ALL stressful and i'm taking 2 weeks vacation during that time!! fortunately i have enough vaca to be able to do that......ALSO - i have elected to NOT tell my work about my ivf process.....so how does one go about getting medical leave if ya don't want working knowing????? but that's just me.......i too am very reserved in my feelings --- wanting so bad to be excited just KNOWING the bfp is on the way ---- only for it to bfn 
so i'm being "cautiously optimistic"......and have turned completely to you guys out here in this forum as my support network..... and thus far ----- it's been the BEST part of my whole experience!!!

Hi girls,
There’s been a while since I wrote something….But, this time I’m trying not to spend too much time reading and studying….I come every day and read what you guys going through. Tracey I hope that you are calm and positive
I had a retrieval on the 18th (Wednesday) and out of 10 follicles they got 9 eggs (!?!?!). Yesterday I got the news that 6 of those fertilized, and now we are waiting for them to call us this afternoon and tell us when will be the transfer. I don’t have to tell you how excited I am…In a way I am purposely calming my enthusiasm thinking if I stay cool everything will be just fine.
All of you guys are my heroes!!

Hello.
You guys won't believe what happen!!!
I was writing here a post which was very long.Then i got busy at work and left it as it is.Now that im free i thought let me finish and send it.
When i sent it,it came the login page again and i lost everything
It is so annoying!!! I just let everything out and now i don't feel like to write all over again
Does this happens to you as well?
Anyways,just a resume of what i had written:
Some of you said that you have very supportive husband others have mother's support.Well im in different position.I have my motherin-laws support.Must say she is a A+. On the other hand my dh is less supportive He doesn't show much of feelings,you know,the kindda things we women like cuddles and those things.That really upsets me and makes me angry 
It has to me always me to take the first step!!! We both have completly opposite personality...
Just wanted to share this.
Thank you
Anie

Hey everyone. I haven't been on in a while, computer crashed on me. I hope everyone is doing well. Sorry to those who were cancelled; I know that is a hard thing to deal with, having questions just running around in your head as to if it was something you did wrong or why is it happening to me. I went through that after my first failed IVF and although I was tired of hearing people say the same thing, I will say it to you, "It wasn't your time." I didn't know the meaning of this at first but now I realize that it makes sense. It is better that your MD saw something at an early stage that would somehow affect the outcome. There will be a next time and it will be your time...
Still on Lupron injections. Stopped BCP on the 18th, so AF is with me now. I will have my first u/s on Monday so I'm kinda nervous as to what my u/s will show. I don't feel the same cramping as I did on my first cycle so I don't know if the Lupron is doing its job. My DH isn't as interested as he was on the first cycle. It's like he isn't trying to get his hopes up this time. I understand his feelings but I really need more support, I feel like I am doing this all by myself.
2ww ladies, Tracey, Croella(I say you Croella, b/c you're knocking on its door - CAN YOU STAND IT??!!!!! I'm a freakin nervous wreck for you! Have you heard any tips like eating pineapple during this time? I read that somewhere, can't really remember the meaning behind it though.
Thanks for allowing me to vent a little this morning, woke up in a funk. Everyone, have a lovely weekend as I sprinkle baby dust to you all.
