I got the call...we are going to do a 5dt!! yeah!!! I'll know tomorrow what time on Fri. My normal nurse is out today so I talked to someone I've never spoken with before. I asked her if I still have 5 and she wouldnt tell me anything. I didnt like her :x Anyho, what I have must be doing good for the embryologest (msp) to decide on a 5dt.

Hope ya'll have a wonderful day!!

Dakota - that is so exciting. I'm sorry that your nurse wasnt in today. I ran into that issue a few times. My nurse would give me so much more info than the other nurses.
I'll be thinking of you! Good luck, rest up and get yourself a good stock of movies or books. You'll need them to get you through the weekend. And trust me it will be easier to have the transfer on Friday because then you will have all weekend to recover!
Good luck!

Wow lots of activity here in the past few days....
Congrats to all the BFPs!
Cookingirl-TWINS that is great.

Jharris-Glad to see you are back in the game. It sounds like you have a great RE who is willing to work with you. I might need that name....we are now looking at Durham to live!

Neffi-I am with you on the ac. I just got our electric and water back. I couldn't shower this morning for my ER.....

Dakota-congrats on 5 days.

Mztia- don't worry, 5 is a great number. It only takes one.

Valerie- Glad to see you will be getting started soon.

I had ER today. I saw the doctor on Monday who thought that IVF was better than IUI so I did ER today. We ONLY got 2 EGGS :(
But like the doctor said, it only takes one. Hoping they both fertilize. We are doing ICSI....

Well off to rest. Hope everybody is having a good day and staying cool :)

queenie They are going to call me tomorrow. I so understand...I am a nervous wreck!!! One, I have no idea how many I have at this point, she wouldnt tell me. I had a dream last night that one was being attacked by the sperm that was rejected in the spin, they were all little monsters!!! I laughed and told a friend I need to get pom pom's and go and cheer them one "come on baby o's...you can do it". :lol:

I've decided that if I dont go in Fri until around 11, like what they thought for today that I was going to get up pull weeds, do laundry and get a bunch of stuff done so I can lay around the rest of the day :P

6 is still pretty good!! "Come on baby q's, you can do it" :lol:

<b>Adgirl</b> - Any news yet on your E2 levels? I had to postpone when I started stims by 2 days because of my cyst. It didn’t sound like a big deal for my clinic.

<b>Hopefulinillinois</b> – Alright on your beta numbers. Hope the rest is smooth sailing for you.

<b>Dakota</b> – I loved your story about your husband giving you the shot. I am worried that my husband will be the same way. I showed him the needle the other day and he had that deer in headlights look. Hope everything goes well for your ET. Good luck on Friday!!

<b>SDtrying</b> - WooHoo on your little bean. That is so cool that you saw the heartbeat. Congrats again!! Good luck tomorrow on your boards.

<b>IMblessed</b> That is great on the hpt tests. Hope you have a good beta number.

<b>Queenie </b>– Good luck on Fri. the 13th and that is so cute that your husband wants to sing.

<b>Jharris</b> - I really hope you get to start soon. That would be great. Sounds like you have a good doctor. I didn’t stim well the first time either. My doctor put me on the flare protocol. I still use lupron but I don’t start until the day before stims.

<b>cookinggirl</b> -Wow, twins!! :shock: So happy for you.

<b> babygurlsolages</b> - Sending you lots of sticky baby dust!! Are you going to POAS?

<b>hopinginpa</b> - Sorry you only got 2 but it does only take 1. Hoping you have little fighters. Good luck.

Well, I went in today on day 5 of stims. I have 5 follies on the right 10 and under and on the left I have three: 12.5, 8.3, 5.5. I still have those cysts on the right. Made it hard for her to see the follies. The biggest cyst is 25 which is down from 32 last week. I am waiting for the call to see how my estrogen level is. I hope it is a good number. Last cycle it was only 39. I was really surprised how well my lining was at 8.4. Last week it was 5 and I started AF. I was worried it would be low. Hope they call soon.

Good luck everyone!!

Good afternoon!

Dakota: YEAH on a 5 day transfer! That is great that the little ones are doing good enough to make it to 5day! And I agree with cookinggirl, a Friday transfer is great news! A nice, relaxing weekend is in store! :D

hoping: Let me know if you need any info about the area. I have lived in NC my whole life! My RE and OB are both actually in Cary, and I like them both. Feel free to message me if you need any info! I'm praying both fertilize for you! Get some rest, you've earned it! :D

turtles: It's good to hear from you. I meet back with my RE in a couple weeks to find out if we are ready to start again next month. We just got the DH some new vitamins that are supposed to help with morphology, motility and count. He will have to go in and get another SA in a month after taking them. Hopefully it will help! I'm glad your cycts are shrinking. I hope they don't interfere. Keep us updated!

Hello Ladies,

Quick note: I just got back from the clinic looks like I might trigger tonight already. It has only been 7 days of stims but those follies seem to be ready. I have 1 -22, 2-20, 1-18, and 1-16, and do of my little bitties popped up to 14 so I am hoping they start doing a grow dance when that HCG hits them. So looks like ER will be Friday , I will know for sure this afternoon. Oh an my lining is only 6 today gosh I hope that is good enough. My E2 was only 608 yesterday so looks like maybe only 3 eggs, hopefully htat is wrong but it only takes one. That is my new Motto: It only takes one!

I really gota get some work done taht they pushed up that day.

Have the best day ever.

Hopinginpa - Its great that they are doing ICSI on them...that should definitely help them both fertilize...sending you lots of positive fertilization vibes :)

jharris - sounds like you may be cycling again soon..best of luck!

Dakota - your dream made me laugh...I feel like I needed to be in a cheerleading outfit all week cheering on those embies to keep growing and stay strong :) its soooo nerve-wracking!! Is it friday yet???

Wow, hopinginpa, I am so sorry they were both immature. I guess the upside is you don't have to go through the ET and the dreaded 2ww and can go ahead and focus on your next cycle. I will be right there with you, hopefully, if we find the money!

MzTia: Congrats to you on getting to trigger. Sounds like some nice size follies. I hope they can get you some healthy eggs to fertilize! Best of luck to you!

queenie: Thanks for the luck. I need all I can get! Me and the DH have started putting together a budget to make sure we are ready to do this again. So I hope the numbers come out good.
