Hi ladies! Mind if I join you? DH and I have been trying to conceive for 3.5 years and we are getting ready to do our first go around of IVF. I just got my Depot Lupron shot on 6/4, had a cervical dilatation on 6/6, and finished my last BCP on 6/7. Whew! I've been busy already! I go in on 6/19 for my baseline BW & Ultrasound and am scheduled to start stims on 6/22. My projected ER & ET are sometime during the week of 7/6. Can't wait to chat with the rest of you!

Hello everyone!! I ahve been MIA. Well my retrieval is actually going to be Wed. Everytime I went for BW/US morealking to him. follicles formed and they were really trying to push it. I am in SO much pain. Not to mention that me and hubby have not been seeing eye to eye to say the least. The hormones make me very hmmm how can I say this...BITCHY. I am sore, tired and bloated. DH got mad and thought I was going to the chat room instead of talking to hime. Not the case he just doesn't seem to be listening to me. He is trying but he really does not understand. So I gave it a rest for a day or two. The meds are working and I am sleeping better. I just did the trigger shot only 36 more hours to go.

Chrissy-CONGRATS!!! that is a great number. Now will you implant on day 3 or wait for blastocysts on day 5? How many will your Dr. implant?

rn2005 & Bella123 - Welcome!! Same thing with me left side kills but right side and middle seem to be OK. Wierd???

sonu911 - I hope your cycle is not canceled, what does your E2 level have to be?

For me I am just waiting for my appointment on the 18th to find out when I start stims. I know it will be here before I know it but sometimes time seems to be going by real slow. Hope everyone has a good week.

Hey Chris

Thanks for checking on me.
The E2 level should between 10-40pg/ml in the menstrual period and mine was 57. But then when we tested again yestrday we found out normal levels and I started my stim meds on the 5th day after AF...Did anyone hear something like this?

So I am on with my 4th ICSI after much melodrama...:)
Best wishes for your appointment on 18th.

Hi

Would like to join in. I started my lupron today and tent. ER date is 7/8 if all goes well.

Question for anyone, Is there a better time of day to do the lupron injections? This is my 3rd fresh cycle and 2 FET under my belt, I have always done injection at night before bed but wondered if it would change my BFN into BFP if I changed the time of day for the injections. Any thoughts??

Welcome ChrisD and Brenda3, hope your cycles are successful and your stay here is short. I think my schedule is pretty close to both of yours, if everything goes OK then I should have ER the first week of July.

Brenda -That is a good question on the Lupron injections. I don't believe there is really a good time, just that it is taken at the same time everyday. I think for this cycle my RE did say to take it around 7 pm. I didn't pay much attention to that since I already take it around that time.

Tarabeltwo - Good Luck on you ER on Friday.

Chrissy - when is your ET? Sending you lots of sticky vibes.

sonu911 - How is your cycle going?

Hope everyone else is doing good. This board seems a little slow this week but I guess once everyone get to ER and ET thinks will start picking up. Can't wait to hear all the BFP's.

I'm starting my 4th IVF cycle most likely third week in July (Day 2 start). Tomorrow I am having a procedure called a co-culture which is suppose to help nourish the embryos and possible help with implantation.

Has any one had this done?

Then I begin to take Ortho with my June cycle.

Fingers crossed...

Thanks for the warm welcome!

Hotflash - How was the ER today?

Just finished reading through all of the pages of the thread. Whew! You ladies have been busy already. I'm just waiting for my baseline BW and Ultra next week. Think they will also be doing injection training at that appointment.

I'm so glad I only had one Lupron shot! That will be less pokes for me. My only complaint so far is I've had a couple of minor hot flashes. One was bad enough, though I changed what I was wearing to work one morning to something a little cooler.
