The remaining 2 Grade Bs and 1 Grade C are prensently frozen. so guess what I am presently inthe two week wait?

Wishing everyone the best of Luck . mally:D :D :D

hi
well i went in for my et and they put back 2 grade A. That is all they told me about them. Is grade A good? They also gave me pictures of them. They told me i had 6 they had it to day 5 but only 2 were going back. i then took 2 days off of work to just lay around. i am not feeling any different and no bleeding or cramping.
mally how are you feeling and what did they do at your rt?

Hi

This thread is all looking so good and positive,

Mally and KKE both of you in the 2ww how is it going are you both having plenty of rest?

Lynniecat how did it go today? Sending you lots of growth thoughts to your follies!!

Hope33 how are you doing did you go back for a check at the clinic on wednrsday?

JanDC any news on your ER?

My clinic don't check your Beta I go for a scan on the 9th December to check the heartbeat and how many sacs there are, as I only had one embryo transferred there should just be one. Now some of the excitement has calmed down I really wish our clinic did beta checks just to make sure!! I am going next week to collect more drugs so I am going to ask them about it.

Wishing you all the best of luck over the next few weeks and remember to take it easy!! :D

Take Care

Lupron for IVF Long Protocol

Post by Sunshine1974 »

Hope hello. I just started the Lupron schedule today. I am on the long/short schedule. I call it this because the doctor's have not put me on the traditional long protocol but instead are giving me a mix of aygestin & lupron so that the body acts like it's day 21 in the traditional long protocol. I saw your post and it looks like you were on a similar protocol that I am on now. Can you please tell me if you remember spotting or bleeding at any point during that cycle you were on and on what day or what medication you were on? I'm asking because I'm getting mixed information from the nurses regarding the possibility of bleeding and spotting, but I'd like to know when to possibly expect this. I have advanced Adenomyosis, so when I bleed it's heavy and quite painful (nearly debilitating). Any information you can give me would be so much appreciated.

Regards,
Sunshine

lynniecat- Good luuck tomorrow! Wishing you a great ER!!! get some rest tonight... how did th trigger shot go? will be thinking of you tomorrow!

Mally & KKE how is the 2ww going???? Babydust to you both! Let's get this thread rolling in the BFPS!!!

sunshine1974- welcome and good luck with your cycle. the aygestin makes your AF come again so you should expect to see bleeding i think by the second third day... I remember when i was on the aygetin i had really bad headaches, & backaches where i had to lay down and the lupron made my joint ache you can take tylenol though, check with your Dr. But once i started using the estrace i felt better. i didn't have any other bleeding for the rest of the cycle. make sure to check in and let us know how you are doing :)

As far a i go- i was really sick for the past 5 days i had 102 fever and was on the couch. I really bad nose congestion and a sore throat. Still went to the Re ;ast wednesday and my lining is not ready yet for the Transfer. it is only an 8 and it needs to be a 10- i go back this wednesday to see what is going on.....

HelloKKEGrade A is good, since mine was a 4cell and was rated Grade B. I wish the best of luck, and take it easy as much as possible.

Sara30, and lynniecat at this moment I can only wish you the best of luck, and keep the faith high, it is important.

Hope33, this time around, I am not as anxious as previously, I cannot however stop counting the days, and hope to only see implantation spotting and no bleeding at all, and above all have a positive result this time.

Lee how are you doing? We need to know hear from you.

Hello

How is everyone I have just been catching up with the posts I have been away for a few days so am checking back in.

Mally and kke - how is the 2ww going? Are you taking plenty of rest?

Sunshine 1974 - welcome and good luck.

Hope33 - How did it go on wednesday has your lining got to 10 yet?

lynniecat - So how did ER go have you had your embies transferred back yet??

lynniecat I don't know why our clinic doesnt do the beta checks, I was going to ask on weds when I went to collect my meds but everyone was so excited for me and I was so emotional because they were all so excited I didn't ask. I have done 2 more hpts tho just to make sure!! and they are a definate positive :D
So I will just wait until the 9th for my scan once I have seen that I am sure I will feel that it is actually really happening.

So mally you are next I think keeping everything crossed for you :D

Take care
Lee xx
