Dec/Jan Cycle buddies!!!!

[KMHTTC]

Sprouthaus - thanks for the update! It is really helpful. I hope everyone is doing well

[JennJenn]

Well, I just wanted to update you all. I saw the RE again this morning, and unfortunately I was told that i would be triggering tonight. Then, i received a call from the nurse and guess what?? My e2 level is still high. Too high. So, I have to take Lupron only tonight, and will probably do ER on "Thursday or Friday". I am worried that I will either be cancelled or will lose a lot of eggs because they will over mature. I go in again tomorrow for b/w only. I am praying that the levels have lowered b/c they may very well cancel due to it being very high. I dont understand how they can let a perfectly good cycle go wrong. My DH is telling me to have faith, and I am trying hard.

[Annie973]

JennJenn - I'm so sorry you are going through this. It must be so frustrating to get this close and now be delayed. I'm sure you will still be able to go through with this cycle. I wouldnt worry about some eggs over maturing....it sounds like you had so many to begin with that you will still come out of ER with a decent amount. I know it's hard but try to stay positive.

[ann d.]

JennJenn... Sorry to hear about your E2 Levels. I know it's hard to have faith during these times. I will be praying and thinking of you hoping your numbers will be where they need to be. It sounds like you have a supportive DH. Keep up the PMA as much as possible. I have a feeling the cycle will go forward and things will be fine.

Annie... Good luck with the ER. How exciting! Let us know how things go when you get a chance!

Gigi... Good luck with the ET! Can't wait to hear how many embies you transfer!

tburks... Sorry to hear about your FIL. It sounds like it was a good idea to postpone things. My thoughts are with you and your family during this time.

sprouthaus...I had another u/s today and follicles are looking good. I see my RE Wednesday to see how the follies are progressing. I'm not feeling too tired or at least I haven't noticed. Although I think I may be coming down with something. I feel scratchiness in my throat. I hope it doesn't develop into anything. I hate getting sick! BTW.. your updates on everyone's cycle are so helpful. Thanks for doing that!

This is going to be a busy week for you ladies.

JenJen I will keep my fingers cross that you will be able to do the ER as planned. PMA your way

I will keep each and everyone of you in my prayers and hope for wonderful news from you all. I am at work right know so it is hard to remember all of you but I just wanted to thank you all for being an listening ear when nobody else understands what we are going through.

While I wait and wait for my FET, I read this thread and I am thankful for you wonderful women. I see how strong this community is and it make me happy to see how we can bond over a situation and care about each other.

Again, I just wanted to say THANK YOU for listening and good luck to all that are having ER/ET this week

JennJenn - all my PMA vibes are going to you. Your DH sounds soooo supportive - take advantage of leaning on him during these anxious days. I am keeping positive thoughts that your cycle will proceed forward and you will have lots of embies.

Barb D. - You said it girl! This board rocks and every lady on here is amazing!

Good luck to everyone in ER or ET or triggering today!

[Annie973]

ER went good they got 13 eggs....same as my last cycle. I feel pretty good other than a little tired. They will let me know tomorrow how many fertilized.

[wishing4baby]

Annie973 - 13 is a GREAT #. Grow embies grow!

Gigi29 - how are you doing?

JennJenn - sorry to hear you have to wait. Don't worry. They postponed my ER by 2 or 3 days and I still got 22 eggs, 14 of which fertilized and went to blast. Sounds like you will have plenty of good eggs. Just try to stay relaxed.

AnnD- how are you feeling? Hope you didn't end up sick.

Hello to everyone else. Thinking of everyone and praying we all get our BFPs soon!

[JennJenn]

Thank you all for your prayers and words of kindness and encouragement. Good news...I am not being cancelled. ER is this Friday December 12th. I am doing a 5-day transfer, so next Wed. is my ET.

It seems I probably have had the highest E2 than most of you.

12/5 - 4,708
12/6 - 6,789
12/8 - 13,333!!!!
12/9 - 13,540!!!!

According to my RE, he does a certain procedure to drain the fluid out of the follicles to prevent OHSS and many of his patients do not get sick. I hope that works for me.

[natashamom]

Hi ladis,

I`m having my FET Jan` 19th,this will be my first and DH and myself are so excited!

We got 4 donate embies with a 24y.o proven donor egg.

Right now I`m on lupron and will be starting progesterone shots the day before transfer for 3 months twice a day!!

At first hubby said he`ll faint if he has to help but now I told him he must help so he will!!

Good luck to us all!

[not hopeless yet]

Annie yay!!! 13 good for you.

jennjenn your little bug-eyed smiley made me laugh out loud at work! I know high E levels are no joking matter but we have to laugh when we can, right ladies? I'm psyched for your ER on Fri! Good luck.

As for me cycle day 1 is officially here and I start Gonal-F on Fri. ER will be xmas week just don't know which day yet.

[sprouthaus]

JennJenn - WOW - I wish I had half of your E! (Of course, I'll take none of the discomfort, thank you)

not hopeless yet - congrats on moving forward - will you be doing other medications with the Gonal-F?

natashasmom - your day is just around the corner! I am looking forward to celebrating the holidays during the 2ww. All that good cheer has to benefit us, right?!

I had my first monitoring appt this morning (day 5 of stims). I have to wait until 3-4pm before I get my results - but judging from the length of time the u/s took, I don't think I have many follies . I'm keeping my hopes up until this afternoon. This is a new protocol for me in hopes that I would get more follies - but I think I have less than last time. I won't think about it until the call this afternoon!

Annie973 - let us know when you get your fertilization report!

(((((((((((((((((hugs to all))))))))))))))))))

[wishing4baby]

not hopeless yet - Yay for day 1. ER will be here before you know it.

Natashamom - sounds like you are going to have some strong embryos. I will be thinking of you.

JennJenn - Glad to hear your ER is scheduled. Let us know how you do.

My FET is tomorrow morning. I will go to the acupuncturist right before. Getting really excited and nervous. The Medrol I am taking really keeps me up at night. Anyone else taking this yet and having the same problem? Maybe it's my nerves .

[sprouthaus]

wishing4baby - I am not taking medrol yet (I believe I start after ER). But I took it last cycle and it upset my stomach considerably and did keep me up the two nights after ER.

And - GOOD LUCK TOMORROW!!!!

[Annie973]

Ok of my 13 eggs all 13 fertilized!!! I am very excited. I think only 9 fertilized last time. I'm going to keep the positive thoughts and hope that I get 13 blasts and of course a baby or two out of this! They are calling me Friday and letting me know if we are transferring that day (day 3) or on Sunday (day 5). Last time I made it to Day 5 so we'll see.

JennJenn - Good luck on Friday. I can't wait to find out how many eggs they get!

Natashamom - 1/19 will be here before you know it! My DH was nervous about giving me shots in the beginning but now he is a pro!

Not hopeless yet - Good luck with your stimming. This is when it starts getting exciting!!

Sprouthaus - Thanks for keeping us all updated! Try to keep a good thought. After all you only need one good egg!!

Wishingforbaby - Good luck tomorrow! How exciting!!! How many are you transferring?

I really have a good feeling this cycle. I think we will all get our BFP's!!!
