hi michelle, nice to have you here...the pain/cramping could be that you're preggers...or just a reaction to the hormones..it is extremely unlikely you did anything to wreck it. i've done this before, had lots of sensations, period like cramps, and i was pregnant. did you do a 5 day transfer?

hi melo, glad to hear from you. good luck with retrieval. my last cycle i went into with only 2 big follies, and i got pregnant ( i did m/c later, but this was unrelated)....as everyone says- it only takes one. there is another lady around on this board pg right now who went into ER with only 1 follie!! miracles happen all the time- so why not you.

hi havbaby- glad your mom is there to support you and that her knowing is working out for you :D ..keep us posted as you start stims. good luck!!

anyways, its 1am here in western canada, just got home from a halloween party..very tired,in the 2 ww, so not drinking like all the others, i was a creepy pirate and had some fun dancing, but right now i just feel old and tired. but - of course, couldn't resist posting :D :D i think i'm a forum-junkie... best fix ever. love to all, karen

get some rest and let us know what the lab says.
Thanks! I rested all day yesterday but didn't sleep much last night. I definitely feel better today but will still take it easy...

fertilization report

Post by robin611 »

Hey guys,
So here's the update:
14 eggs retrieved
10 were mature
7 fertilized
So, now we just have to hope the quality of those are good! We're tentatively scheduled for ET on 11/4 but we'll know tomorrow or early Tuesday if they think we have enough high grade embryo's to go for a 5dt at blastocyte stage. Anyway, we are hopeful for 2-3 to transfer and some to freeze, but we'll see!
Thanks for everyone's support through all this!
-Robin

Hey Everyone,

Good Morning :) To answer your earlier question I was a 5 day transfer. We had 19 eggs retreived, 14 fertilized and 2 transferred. We were slightly disappointed because we only had 2 other eggs possibly good enough to freeze. Is this normal?? We were expecting more guess :(

I'm glad you all got to have some fun during Halloween :) I got to stay on my back all day and couldn't even hand out candy to the little ones.

Hello havbaby1627,

When I received the Lupron 14 day kit , I also felt it won't go that long. I was on 10 units till I start Bravelle/menopur. Then it reduced to 5units. But I still have meds left.

Thanks Karen - I'm so excited. having never been pregnant and starting to think it would never happen for me ... it's really just astonishing to feel like it's happening. Of course I'm realistic so my fingers are crossed that that number keeps growing.

Two days ago I started to bleed and I thought it was over for me so I had a melt down b/c that's how AF always starts for me but then the bleeding stopped... Have had some cramping but other than that nothing....

anyway - sending baby dust to everyone else in the wait.... !!
