Ladies -

I need your prayers. I got a call at 7:30 this morning that Sassy has taken a turn for the worse. My DH and I are heading down this morning, but it is a 5 hr drive. I so fear that she will pass before I get there. Please keep her, my family and our safe travels in your prayers.

Thank you all so much - you girls are awesome - and so is the Mighty God we serve!

Hope - you are in my thougts and prayers and this very difficult time

Oh dear Hope, I just read this post a little late in the day. You're in my thoughts and prayers, I do hope you are doing OK through this difficult time.

Well, I'm back My lining was 16 and my follicles had grown quite a bit. On the Right I had:
21, 15, 13, 9, 6, 6
Left: 20 (probably cyst), 16.5, 16, 16, 15, 15, 14, 13.7

She said I may trigger tonight....or she may let me go one more day. Do they mature/grow more after the trigger shot? I guess one more day would probably be okay....that way those 15's and 16's would be closer to 18. Can 16's be mature? Oh well...we'll see at 2pm when the blood work comes back.

Indie Blue - Hope you had a prayerful trigger shot last night and that you are set for your big day. With my experience of 3 ICSI and one FET, I can tell you that don't worry about the numbers. It just takes one click!!!

Here's wishing you for your ER.

Hrobinson - Your ER also must be round the corner, when do you trigger?

Hope - Waiting for you, dear. Hope all's well.

[IndieBlue]

Thanks Sonu I'm praying for a easy ER and NO vomiting LOL My trigger shot went well, she told me to use a 22g 1 and 1/2 inch needle but I didn't have one of those. I had a 21g...and it looked HUGE. I was cleaning up all the meds and such before my trigger....since I'm donating leftovers I wanted to have them ready Wednesday, and I found a 25g 1 and 1/2 inch in the 'shot class' bag that she sent us home with...YAY I mixed it all with the bigger one and then we switched it out and gave it to me with the little one, much much better. It's stiff and sore this morning, but then so are my ovaries and my bb's.

I've read that you're supposed to have sex the night of trigger, so he's ready too. So we did...but I think that only made my ovaries more sore LOL Oh well, what's done is done. I'm excited and nervous about tomorrow....I'll be glad when I'm on the 2ww and all I have to do is POAS everyday LOL

Thanks for the prayers ladies, I appreciate them! I'll update everyone when I get home and I'm up and moving around

Hope Praying for you....I hope you make it home safely.

Sonu Thanks for the reminder that it only takes 1

Heather How is the cycle going?

[hrobinson]

Indie- Sounds like things are going really well for you. I can't beliee how many embies you have and how large they are. i am hoping that things go well for you.
Please keep us posted on retrieval and transfer.

Hope- Still praying for you.

Sonu- Things are going well with my cycle. i leave for San Antonio here on Thursday morning. Then on Friday go in for US and Bloodwork. I hope everything looks good.
since it is just a FET, we don't have a trigger shot. I just go in on Monday morning and they transfer (hopefully). I have 4 embies so I am anxous to see how many they transfer.
I will keep you guys posted.
How are things going with you sonu?

We seem to have lost most of our group. I hope everyone is still doing well.

Nicali- How thick did dr. s want your lining before doing the transfer?

Hope everyone has a great tuesday

HEATHER


Wishing you the best for your u/s and have a safe travel to san antonio. May God also be great as he always is, in guarding the thaw of your little embabies.

I am fine and completed 8th day of down regging now waiting for AF to chime the bell soon. so that i can go in for bloodwork and u/s to begin my stims. ER is scheduled by the end of June....oh that seems far away.

INDIEBLUE

So are you ready for ER?
butterflies in the stomach.... Pl let us know about your well being and retrieval. Take care.

[nicaliw]

Heather.....Dr S likes the lining to be 8mm but mine never made it past 6.9mm. When the recommended cancelling the transfer I asked exactly how much my lining would affect my chances and they said by about 10%........I'm so glad we took our chances and went ahead.
Time flies around here. I'm so excited your time is finally here, you've had to wait so patiently. Everything is crossed for you! Maybe next time you visit with your new baby we can get our frosty babies together?!

Indie, I remember when you were waiting for your first appointment.....and now here you are! Can't wait to hear how this goes for you.

Everything is going well for me. I'm almost off all the hormones, just a little estrogen but my levels are great. Had my first OB appointment a few days ago and we saw the little one again. It looks just like the cartoon Tweety! Heart rate was 171 and everything checks out fine. I'm so glad things are going well, its a relief to be past the scary time when I lost it last time. I'm getting closer to the 2nd trimester and our trip to cancun on June 25th....YAY!

[hrobinson]

You ladies are so sweet to be thinking and praying for me in this time. I am so nervous, and anxious. I just pray that it works.

Nicali- I did not realize you were going to Cancun. I am so envious of you. I am sure you will have so much fun. My dh and I went there for our honeymoon. We would love to go back at some point.
I am glad you are past the scary time.
I will be in Denver here in about a month. Would love to get to meet you:)

Sonu- Am doing the AF dance for you. The end of June will be here before you know it and it will be your time. God is so great, and he knows when it is right. Praying things work out

Indie- How are things going? Did you trigger last night? Please keep us posted on what is up.

I leave tomorrow morning. Will have internet access, so I will keep you guys posted on what is happening.
I am having the transfer on Monday, and told dh that we were going to stay in a motel that night just so I can lay and do nothing!!!

[IndieBlue]

I'm finally up and moving around. I told them that I would get sick and they said well it's really light sedation, but we have some crackers when you wake up. Well, I woke up and felt okay....but once I got in the car I was soooo sick. I got sick 4-5 times on the way home (it's a 2 hour drive) and it was bad since I had to throw up 3 times in the car.....after hubby had stopped to get his lunch in a drive thru. Good thing he has a strong stomach. Ugghh, that was awful.....but then when they told me how many eggs I got I was kind of sick too

Out of the 14 follies they measured the other day, I only got 7 eggs She said it was lucky #7....I pray it is. I'm just so used to hearing stories of 13 and 20 that 7 seems awfully low. Especially when they keep telling you that they lose 40% of them after fertilization/growth I'm guessing I'll go in for a 3 day since I didn't have a ton of eggs, so that puts it on Saturday for me. I have to drive back in tomorrow to get my progesterone....so hubby is taking care of me today so I'll be up for the drive.

Well, that's my update...pray for lots of fertilized ones. When I got teary eyed in recovery my husband said "he's in control" and looked up....that got me, as I know he is but I just really felt like I'd have atleast 10. I really really wanted to donate some embryo's after we get our BFP...but again, maybe God knows better and he'll give us only what we need.

Thank you for all your positive thoughts and prayers ladies. I'll let you know how many divide tomorrow, they said they didn't add the sperm to the eggs until 3 hours after retrieval...since that is how long it takes them to meet in the normal environment. Praying they do their thing, my husband has been sick (sinus) lately so I'm so afraid that his guys will be sluggish. He tried to cheer me up though, saying he go more than last time LOL....I guess that's a good thing

[nicaliw]

Heather....I'd love to meet up with you when you get here. How long are you staying? You'll be pregnant by then!!!

Indie....I'm praying for your little embryos. I'm sure this is going to work out for you just fine. Lots of PMA!
