Hi everyone...

I just heard from my doctor about my blood test. My Estradiol level is 28.1 and they're decreasing my Lupron to 10units tonight and I start 150u of Follistim tomorrow night.

This is exciting!

mandeekins--CONGRADULATIONS ON THE BFP!!!

Moly/waiting for 4--sorry that the embryos didn't make it but just think those embys in you are nice and warm and want to grow


I had my progesterone levels checked today and they changed my BETA from 2/16 to 2/13. I am feeling more cramps like AF is coming, but the cramps are just on my right side shooting down my right leg, WEIRD.

Well I just got news that my landlord is putting the house on the market so there goes not stress for me :cry:

tburks--thank you for that encouragement talk :)

Hey Barb- You and I will be having our beta on the same day. Why did they change it based on your progesterone level. I have weird cramps too, and yesterday I had that weird feeling my period was coming.

So I am kind of freaking out. Nurse called and said I will probably trigger tomorrow. I only have 4 measurable follies. 3 of those are in my right ovary. Last ER I had lots of follies on my right side but they didn't get any mature eggs from the right. So now I am worried I won't have any eggs. I know I just need to chill. The RE's don't know why I didn't have any good eggs on the right side last time. UUGHHHH, I hate IVF.

Hope I am better tomorrow. goodnight all thanks for letting me vent.

amfmbaby - I'm so sorry for your setback! It's ok to have a pity party, we understand most of all! Hopefully in 2 weeks that stupid cyst will be gone...keep the faith :)

CT_Michele - ER with TESE/ICSI was 1/20, we put back 2 on day 3. I never got the actual cell numbers, just that they were over 9 but less than 12. All the RE told me was they were great embies; only one had a little fragmentation. BETA was today...is it normal to see that high a number after 2 weeks? Maybe I was just an early implanter? Trying not to get hopes up too high for twins, but that would be so cool! :P

mandeekins: CONGRATULATIONS!!! That is soooo awesome!! This must be the lucky group.

For me: I ended up going back to the doctor today b/c I am still in a lot of pain. Dr. said everything looked fine, I had a minor OHSS, and he told me to add a lot of sodium to my diet. So I have been eating chicken noodle soup and drinking gatorade. I'm still having a quite of bit of pain. They told me they would call me tomorrow morning and let me know if we would do the ET tomorrow or if we would wait until Monday. My butt is killing me from the shots!! I know I know I need to stop whining!! LOL

Shelley: How are you feeling? Do you know yet if you will be doing your transfer tomorrow?

LadyJ: Glad to hear that you are done with BCP's. Hopefully your AF wait will not be long.

Mandeekins: Wow! That's a high beta!!! I'm hoping for twins for you too! Let us know & congrats!

To have fun: Good luck on your trigger tonight. Remember, it only takes one!!!

Kcraven: I'm glad you went to the Dr., are you feeling better this morning? I felt better yesterday & a little better still today. I gained almost 5 lbs during the stimming/ER process & I've lost 4lbs now...almost back to normal! Crazy how our bodies respond. Keep drinking that gartorade! We are going ahead with a 5 day transfer, so ET on Monday. What about you? How are your embies doing?

My embryologist called this morning already...he's so prompt :) All 9 of our embryos are dividing & looking healthy!! They are 6-8 cells (mostly 8 cells). So he is biopsying all of them now. We'll get results on Monday, then our ET will be Monday at noon.

I'm thinking about doing acupuncture before & after the transfer, has anyone tried this?

Well today, I chickened out and decided to do an IUI instead of going to ER. I only have 3 good follicles. If I was paying out of pocket then I would have gone through with ER, but seeing that insurance pays for all my testing and drugs i decided to do an IUI. i will then still have 3 cycles of IVF left if needed with insurance. I was just so afraid of going to ER and only getting 1 or 2 eggs and then the eggs not fertilize. I figure my DH's swimmers are good so we still have a shot. Maybe my body just wanted that stupid fibroid out. We will see. I trigger tonight and then will do the IUI on Monday.

The good thing is that I can do all the Bd'ing that I want. No waiting until my Beta. YEAH!!!!
