hi Sara30- are you testing on the 19th?

lynniecat · Post by **lynniecat** » Fri Nov 14, 2008 4:06 am

Yep had the call. Estrogen was good and started stims last night. So I only had 6 antrals, so I hope all of them grow. Keeping my fingers crossed for Saturday (day 4). I hope so see something good vs nothing growing!

Hello Hope33 and everyone else,

First of all I am from Ghana, West Africa, but based in Nigeria, where I am also undergoing the treatment . can you believe that I am still on the stimms, and todays injection will be the llth day.

The right ovaries are catiching u0p, but the left one seem to be doing very well. The nurse also told me that on the whole I am doing quite well this time compared to the previous one, and as at the moment, the lining of my uterus is very good.

So I am only ho0ing for the best, i have another scan tomorrow, and that will dtermine when the ER will take place.

Wishing you all the best

Hi Lynniecat and Sara30,

first of all Lynnie have you heard from them, I am sure there will always be a way out so stay positive on this one.

Sara30 I have not had it done yet as I stated earlier in my post, the right ovaries have to catch up, so a scan tomorrow will determine the Er date.

Sara30 hope you are taking enough water, veg and protein meals I was told by my Doctor that it helps implantation a lot, so please do so.

Best of Luck and keep us posted

Hey Guys....

Had my ultrasound and bloodwork,

Estrogen at 75 after 3 days of stims (always 75 at this point).

She measured all the follicles although I had only 1 that was 10:

So Right: 10, 7, 4

Left: 7, 7, 7, 6

I am hoping they all grow and more joint on in! I go back on Monday!

Hi Lynniecat-

YEAH! Sounds great! How was your scan today? Sending you lots of growing wishes to your eggies

Hi Everyone

Hows everyone doing?

lynniecat - how did your scan go today? Have they grown any more? They all seem to be growing nice and steadily

hope33 - how are you doing?

mally - do you have your ER date yet? Has your right ovary caught up?

I do the clinic test on the 19th, but I gave in today to the dreaded HPT!!
I got a BFP!!

I cant quite believe it and it hasnt sunk in yet. It was very clear and appeared immediately.
Sending out lots of positive thoughts and baby dust to everyone

Take Care

Hey guys...my left ovary is doing well I think. I had 3 7s and 1 6 and they are now 3 10s and 1 11! I hope to see some good stuff on Wed.

The right side still has 3 and they are the same sizes oddly! I need them to get off their butts and start growing!

CONGRTULATIONS SARA30!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
I would have caved in too if i were you! Good Good sign! Makes testing your beta on the 19th a bit more pleasent right?

Hope it's a trend for this thread!!!!

Lynniecat- good for you! I am glad everything is going wellmaybe your overies are just taking turns

Look at on your right ovary the 4 became a 10 in no time so i am sure the left side will respond on your next visit! Keep it up, you are almost there

Are you going to know more on Wednesday when your ER will be???

I am hanging in there myself. Went to the RE this past Friday to check my lining and to my disappoitment my lining was not ready, it needed to be at 10 and it was only at 7 so theTransfer for the 19th was delayed. my RE upped the dose of the estrace and go back on Wednesday to have my lining and bloodwork checked. I will keep you all posted after my appointment..... Looks like we will both be at the RE on Wednesday lynniecat!

speak to you all soon

Hi Sara30 and all the lovely buddies,

I had my EC or ER yesterday, and we got 12 good eggs, they fertilized it with my hubby's frozen sperm, and today, 6 have fertilized. So I will be going for ET tomorrow the 19th of November.

Wish me luck Girls!!!!!!!!!

Hi Lynniecat,

Try eating some cabbages and green leaves, I understand they provide Co-Enzymes that ensures that the womb lining is thick enough. I have stuck to eat religiously in my diet, and my lining has done very well this time than previously.

Best of Luck
Mally

hi everyone i am a nov buddy as well. i went in on nov. 14th had 17 eggs 13 fertilized. i am doing a 5 day transfer on nov 19th. Then i have the long 2ww. does anyone know how you figure out due date?

lynniecat · Post by **lynniecat** » Tue Nov 18, 2008 11:49 pm

Sara: Congrats on that BFP! Way to go! I hope that beta comes back nice and high!

Mally: That is great! 6 embies for you. How will you pick which ones to put back. At my age, I am allowed to put back up to 6. Do you know how many are going back! Good luck on your transfer tomorrow. I will be thinking of you when I am at the RE getting my follies measured. I hope both our visits have us leaving with lots of hope!

kke: Wow 13 embies, that is a ton!!! Sounds like you are on the express train to your BFP! If you want to figure out the due date, I found the easiest way is to google for due date calculator and then subtract 14 days from your ER date and put that in as the start of your last AF. The calculators always assume your egg was fertilized on day 14 of your cycle. KWIM?

hope33: Bummer about your lining, but it will get there and I hope its there tomorrow! If not, it will be there soon so you can put those embies in!

I am hoping for good numbers on my follies tomorrow. I would love love love to get 6 embies! Keep my fingers crossed! I have felt positive since Monday, but I know how quickly things can go wrong since I have experienced that awful turn around before. SO, I am hoping this time will be another day of good news!

Hey guys -- where are you all?

How did everyone's Wednesday go??

I have 8 follies in the running, but only 4 that look serious and 2 more that look "committed"!

I go back Friday for another look! My E2 was 350 which is good as it doubled + from Monday!
