Jennifer - good luck with your ER today!!!!!

babyscoming - Did you POAS yet? I know you were thinking about it! You're only 2 days away from your beta test!!!

Jude - I am sure you are even more anxious for the first U/S to see your little beanie (or beanies). That's tomorrow right? Good luck!!

Bella123 - Good luck with your second U/S tomorrow!! How exciting you'll get to see the heartbeat. I can't even imagine how wonderful that moment is

All is well with me. I am getting very very anxious for my beta on Friday!!! I know it's only 3 days away but it seriously could not get here soon enough.... I did learn about my other 3 embies that stayed in the lab. Unfortunately they did not make it to blast so they didn't become frosties

That of course has made me a little more nervous about the embies transferred. I'd like to think we picked the three good embies and the others just weren't ready.... It's just so hard not knowing. So c'mon Friday get here!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Great news ladies.
As for me I had my ER yesterday and they collected 16 eggs,
hopefully all 16 fertilize. I get my fert report this afternoon and
will update you all later. The 2ww for me is just days away.

I think they plan on doing my ET this Thursday but I really
want a day 5 transfer, thursday would be day 3.

Hello ladies!

Wishful - thanks for checking in! How are you doing? Any news with the hunt for ED? I hope that all is going well for you.

Bella! Nice to hear from you too! That;s great that you saw the sac and yolk! We'll be the same tomorrow, I am so praying for both of us to hear a heartbeat. And you're right, it feels like forever !!

Jenn, I hope your ER went well hun, and you are resting up today now, waiting to hear about all your eggies. Take it easy.

Rosario - I hope your E2 numbers go up tomorrow. Hang in there, hopefully not long now.

Ndgo - wow!! 16 eggs is wonderful! That's a great number. Well worth waiting for!! Now take it easy and we're all wishing them to fertilize and grow!

Venus - You are almost there!!!!!! Have you POAS yet, or are you going to?? I know each day seems like an eternity when you are getting close, but you really are almost there!

I can say this, because, FINALLY, I have my first U/S tomorrow! I am very nervous, I so hope that all is okay, I"m trying to stay positive and think all will be good, but I also am worrying something will be wrong. Man, I don't know if this gets any easier!
I have been so tired lately, today I got home from work early and took a nap from 3.30 to 6, and for lunch I was really fancying waffles, which I had with tomato soup on the side, and syrup all on top. Man they were good

I am hoping that all this feeling preggers leads to a good U/S tomorrow. I'll keep you posted.

So, rest all of you who need to rest, and GROW for the rest of you, and be patient for the remaining ones!!

Went to my appt today. I did have a very rought day. To make everything short, i no longer have coverage for my IVF meds. I still need to be on them for the next 3-5 days and its costing me $240 for each 300iu my total for 3 days is $1440. I thank god my father is helping me out as much as he can. With god watching over me i hope he helps us out until the very end and bless us with a wonderful baby. My largest follicles are measuring 12 and 10. I dont know much about sizes but i hope its good. He did say he has me on an aggresive dosage due to the small amount of ovaries i have left. I am a slow responder but its getting me somewhere. Sometime next week i assume will be ER?!?! My e2 levels went from 115 sat to 376 yesterday. I dont know about those numbers but praying its good as well. Oh yea by the way I will be starting Ganirelix tomorrow night.

Questions since now i am paying my meds how much will the hcg, and the progesterone be? How much do you guys pay on average?

kimmysq · Post by **kimmysq** » Wed Jul 30, 2008 4:01 am

Hi:
I paid out of pocket for my progesterone in sesame oil and it was only$76.00.

Jude, good luck on your u/s tomorrow!

Hi guys,

Thank you so much for your well wishes. My ER went well yesterday and they actually retreived 12 eggs. Today they will call me between 10-1pm to tell me how many of those eggs fertilized, what dosage of Progesterone to start taking and what time my transfer is on Fridya, 8/1.

I suspect that maybe half that number did not fertilize since I had a lot of smaller follies, BUT you just never know.

After 3 BFN's I have to say that emotionally/mentally I am not attached to this cycle. I have released all my emotions to the universe and feel that if it's meant to be it will be!

I'll post later on today to let you know the results.

Jenn

jenniferdp · Post by **jenniferdp** » Wed Jul 30, 2008 4:31 pm

The doctor just called me an dout of 12 eggs, one was immature but 7 fertilized!!!

Now let's hope that all 7 remain strong. My ET is set for Friday at 2:30pm.

venus25 · Post by **venus25** » Wed Jul 30, 2008 5:03 pm

Congrats Jennifer - 7 is AWESOME!!! Keep your PMA going. This may be the cycle that gives you your precious gift!!!

Jude - Yeah - tomorrow is your big U/S day!!! How exciting! Definitely let us know how it goes (and how many you got in there). I have not POAS and I've decided I'm not going to. I would just drive myself crazier with the result. I'm going crazy enough waiting for my test date

Two more days!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

jude7702 · Post by **jude7702** » Wed Jul 30, 2008 6:40 pm

Hey guys! Must be because of the time difference, but when I posted I had the U/S tomorrow, it was still Tuesday! So, I had it this morning, and

It's TWINS!!!

At least, we started out with triplets, but only Baby A and Baby B have heartbeats, and one measures at 6 weeks 6 days, the other at 6 weeks 4 days, which the RE said was normal (I should be 7 weeks today). Baby/Embryo C didn't have a heartbeat, and measured at 5 weeks 6 days, and the RE didn't think it would grow and be viable. So, twins it is! I cryed over the loss of baby C - it's weird though, as until the next U/S I guess we won't know for sure that it hasn't kept growing.

I am so happy, although I think I'm still in shock some, I didnt' cry with the U/S but haven't been able to take my eyes of the pics. The RE said that is the last visit with him, so now have to make an appt. with the OB and take it from there. Wow.

Rosario - sorry to hear re the meds, but your E2 went up nicely it looks like. Taking the ganirelix means you are nearly there now.

Venus - 2 days and counting!! No POAS?

jennifer - that's wonderful!!!! Congrats on 7 fertilizing! Praying they all grow and divide!

AMAZU · Post by **AMAZU** » Wed Jul 30, 2008 6:54 pm

Jude7702,
Congrats for the twins ! I am very excited for you. I am sorry abt Baby c but atleast you have the other two who would be handful. I also got my 2nd beta today. 741 at 14dp5dt and 2174 at 16dp5dt. I am hoping to see a twin on my u/s appt. Again, I am very happy for you.

Good luck for you all !!!

Annie.

venus25 · Post by **venus25** » Wed Jul 30, 2008 8:37 pm

Congratulations Jude!!!! Twins are AWESOME!!! I am so happy for you. I am sorry to hear about baby C. I can understand why you cried. I would have too. However, you still have 2 beautiful ones growing. You are going to have such an amazing experience!! Keep us updated on heartbeats and growth!! I hope to join you as the momma of twins.

Congrats AMAZU on those #s!!!! Those are awesome!!! Good luck with your u/s. I hope you see two little ones too.

Nope, I'm not going to POAS (as badly as I want to). They usually schedule the beta test for 2 weeks after ER. However, mine fell on a Saturday and they don't do pregnancy tests on Saturdays and Sundays. So that meant I would have to wait to the following Monday. Instead the nurse got me in a day early so I didn't have to wait all weekend. (it will be 2 weeks this Saturday). Thus, I don't want to POAS b/c there is no way to know whether the trigger is out of my system and quite possibly I could be pregnant but my hormones are too low to be detected by the test. I'm afraid I would just be playing with my emotions. So although it's driving me crazy not to test, I'm somehow going to hold out until my beta test on Friday. I keep telling myself it's just the day after tomorrow, the day after tomorrow - c'mon you can do it.

Anyone else POAS here?

Bella123 · Post by **Bella123** » Thu Jul 31, 2008 1:08 am

Jude - YAY I AM SOOOO EXCITED FOR YOU! Congrats on your two beautiful babies! I am so sorry for the third.... I wasn't expecting to hear from you til tomorrow , it must be b/c of the time difference

We had our second US today and we are measuring about the same as you. It was the absolute most amazing thing I have ever seen to watch that little heartbeat! I couldn't beleive it. Like you, I have been scared at every appt. waiting for something to go wrong, but DH is so excited all the time. I think after today seeing the heartbeat i will get more excited and not so scared

I love looking at the pictures as well , I can't seem to stop. funny thing is , I almost hyperstimmed or did a little and have a little belly already....I was blaming it on the fluid in my ovaries still, but turns out they are almost all the way normal so I am going to start showing here pretty quickly it seems haha

I am so happy for you and wish you all the very best! One more u/s for me in 10 days then off to my ob....

to everyone else, good luck with everything and the stages you are in and I send sticky dust your way!!!!!
