hi

Post by rs »

Hi all,
turtle -the pics of the embies are amazing, so happy for you!
to_have_fun and adsgirl - well my cycle got cancelled. when I went for scan after 6 days of stimming they saw nothing and stimmed me for 2 more days and when I went for u/s on the 9th day, they said they say 3 follicles and said lets convert it to IUI and asked me to come back next day after another day of stimming, which is today. this morning at after the scan they realised that those 3 follicles that they thought they saw were actually fluid or cysts, NOT follies. so they cancelled the cycle.
I will go for consult with my doc in a few weeks and will go from there.

You guys are a great support, you made feel to strong, thanks a lot. I will keep coming here and check on you ladies, best of luck to you all !!!

rs - sorry to hear about your canceled cycle. What a terrible disappointment! Please keep us posted on your plans for your next go. Will be thinking of you!

To all those that just entered the 2ww - congrats on being PUPO! So happy for you!!

I am back from ER and feeling okay. They retrieved 14 eggs...I'm so happy about that! They will call me in a few hours to let me know how many were mature enough for ICSI (we are ICSI'ing all of them). YAY! This is such a huge hurdle to get past...DH and I are both so excited. Hoping for a day 5 transfer on Saturday. I will post an update when I hear more later today! Off to rest...

<b>rs</b> I am so sorry you got canceled. I was last month and it is hard. Don't be surprised once you stop taking stims to feel weird. A few days after I stopped I had a bad weekend where I just felt out of focus. I guess it is the drugs leaving your system. I had stimmed for 2 weeks though so you might not having any trouble. I hope they figure out a better protocol for you. Wishing you lots of luck for the future!!

Carolyn and Sonu
- I am glad your transfers turned out well. Did you guys have any bed rest? I am on day 2 of 3. Rest up and welcome to the dreaded 2ww. Lots of sticky dust for you both!!

adsgirl - Again I am glad your ER went smoothly. Rest up!!

rs- I am so sorry you were cancelled. Keep your head up. They will figure out a better protocol for you. Try not to be too discouraged. I know that is easier said than done. Take Care.

Wishfull and Sonu- Congrats on your ET today. I am so happy you have some good embies to transfer. Rest as much and you can.

Adsgirl - Rest up lots over the next few days take care. Congrats on ER.

I am on day 4 of bedrest only 1 more day to go. Still cramping a little. Yesterday was really crampy and weepy. Cried a lot about everything and went into panic mode. Am I doing too much or not enough all those crazy things I think we all go through!

Good luck to everyone!

Turtle, cool pictures. Thanks for sharing.

Wishfull and Sonu, congrats and good luck. I can't wait to join you in the 2ww.

AdsGirl, sounds like you've got good numbers so far. How do you feel?

We did ER Saturday. Only 5 eggs, which is about half what we got last cycle, and one of them was too immature to keep. I was surprised that it was so low, since there were 10 - 12 follicles. I guess there's no way to predict.

The 4 they kept all fertilized, though, so we're in good shape for transfer. As of this morning (day 2), we've got three 3-cell and one 5-cell. ET is scheduled for Wednesday and we think we're going to transfer all 4. I'm excited, but nervous.

turtle, do you know why did you have less follicles last time? were you ever told you have high Day 3 FSH? how was your protocol different this time from last time? Just trying to figure out if there are other suggestions that I could collect from here to bring to my RE on our next visit. she is very nice and is open to suggestions from other practices.

rs - I am so sorry to hear about the canceled cycle. I'm sure it was pretty disappointing. But as the ladies said, hang in there. Some of this is trial and error for the docs. Next time, things will go much better. Keep your head up :)

Good luck to all the other ladies on here in the 2ww and those that just had the ER done. It sounds like great results and we should soon be hearing about BFP!!! So exciting!

Turle - those are great looking embies!!! :D :D

Hi all I have been MIA since ET. I have been dealing with mild OHSS, which does not feel mild. Everyday I am going through this feeling like passing out, getting really nauseated and sore abdominal pain. Today I feel somewhat better. ET was on 21st it went well, they told me I had one "perfect" 8 cell embryo and 3 other GradeII, Grade I is perfect, and the other three were slow to progress. So they transfered the perfect one and I believe one 9 cell grade II and 2 in frozen. I have been on bed rest for the last two days. I think I am doing too much?! Anyway my first beta is on June 30th the day I go back to work. Good luck to all. I would love to write more but I am getting light headed as we speak.

Love, Luck, and Baby Dust!

Kate - Wow! You're going to transfer all 4?! That is very exciting! I'm feeling okay after the ER, thanks for asking. A little sore, and when I stand up, I feel like I can't stand up all the way straight. I'm excited, though!

rs - Are you doing acupuncture? I have complimented my RE treatment with regular AP appointments, and I believe it has really helped. I credit my APist with shrinking my cysts so I could started again this month. You may want to think about adding it in to your protocol...

jcurly - Sorry to hear you're suffering through some OHSS...keep your head up, though...hopefully your symptoms will get better soon...and you will be celebrating a BFP in a week!

TarabelTwo - those hormones do make us a little weepy, don't they?!? It's a big process we're going through...tons of emotion mixed in...let the tears flow, girl! Just try to keep the stress and panic under wraps! Your BFP is getting closer and closer!

Sonu - How long are you on bedrest? Good luck with the 2ww, and congrats on being PUPO!

Got the call from the embryologist - all 14 were mature! Hopefully this is a good sign for a 5-day transfer...

wow! I can't believe how much has gone on since the last time I was able to post!!!! I have been battling the high e2 level problem. My follies are great and I have stopped stims and have been coasting with only ganarelix since Friday evening. My e2 is still at 5000 as of this morning, but I got the call to trigger tonight so it is a go ahead! I am so nervous and excited and scared all at the same time! I am also freaked out about OHSS, as I hear this high E2 number can be a sign I am in for some trouble :( I know they have been working to get my number down before we triggered and it has come down a great deal but still 5000 is high. So, I hope it all works out ok. I will have ER on Wednesday morning 06/25 and ET probably day 5 the following monday 06/30.

jcurly - hang in there ! did they suspect you would end up with ohss? I hope the symptoms subside for your soon and a baby is on the way!!!

adsgirl - goodluck!!!! congratulations! it will go wonderfully!

wishful and sonu - how is the relaxing going? congrats!

rs - I am so very sorry!!! hang in there and next time will be ten times better!!!

turtle - cool pictures I didn't know they did that!!! so awesome to see those embies!!!

kate65 - good luck on wed, I will be retrieving you will be transferring:)

tarabeltwo - are you still on bedrest? how long did they tell you to stay on bedrest? how are you feeling? I bet your mind is swimming , keep taking it easy!

I am sorry if I missed anyone! I wish all of you happy retrievals, transfers, and all bfp's!!!!!

Good Luck on your trigger tonight. Everything will be fine. After your ER try to stay as much in a recliner as possible it really did help me.

I am on day 4 of 5 of bedrest. One more day tomorrow! I need something to stimulate my brain! You can only watch so much daytime TV :)

So I am going to do some work (computer only) from home tomorrow so that should help.

Hope everyone is doing well!
