April/May Treatment - 1st time IVF

[dixie_chop]

I didn't abandon you guys!!! I thought you all had jumped ship to the April/May cycle thread so I haven't checked this one. And I don't get the emails when someone responds that your supposed too. I prefer this thread though b/c I can't keep up with everyone on the other one. Too many!
So where is everyone at in their cycle???
If you haven't read the April/May cycle thread, I had a horrible experience with the ER. High estrogen level and alot of eggs caused OHSS and it has been so painful. I am on the upside now. The days are better but the nights are still a little rough. Laying down flat seems to really stir it up. I had my ET on wednesday, Yay , so that puts me in my 2ww. I am very excited. Our eggs turned out great. We ended up with 11 out of 19 fertilized and as of yesterday they had frozen 5, 5 still growing. They were supposed to call today with final number but didn't hear from them. It is all bittersweat. I am excited about the possiblity of being pregnant but scared as well. RE said that if I get pregnant the fluid will build back up and I will be in pain again. "but no longer than 4 weeks"!!!! I cried and cried over the thought of it coming back and for that long. I am trying not to think about it, it will be worth it in the end. So keep you fingers crossed for me guys!!!
Has anyone else had their ER?

Hi Ladies,

How is everyone doing?

dixie_chop- I’m sorry to hear that you had a lot of pain and trouble after ER but it is excited to hear that you done ET, and a lot of eggs to freeze ...Lucky you
I wish you good luck in TWW and I pray for you.

Afm - I finished last BCP pill on Saturday, currently on Lupron and I can t wait for AF to start ASAP - so I can continue with stims. As days go by I’m getting excited about all this, but also a lot of questions and fear is everything will be ok, will I react good on stims, will everything’s gone be ok ….. but I guess it is natural to fell like this since this is my first IVF try
I wish a good day to everyone and Good Luck wherever you are in cycle…

Hello everyone, I haven't been posting because my treatment got cancelled last week. Not enough follicles to proceed. A little down about it but life will go on.

I will be following you ladies over the next couple of months while I sit back and wait to see what next.

Good luck ladies. Keep us posted on how things are working out and definitely when you get your BFP!

Had my er yesturday and we took 8 eggs out yesturday this morning we got the call that out of the 8 eggs retrived only 4 fertilized and out of the 4 3 are good. I have my et on sunday at 1530. I hope and pray that the three continue to grow. For those of you who have gone threw et does it hurt?
Lots of baby dust to all.

Not at all, completely painless. Its like getting your pap done. Actually if you have had an IUI done, its pretty much the same procedure except they are doing an external ultrasound at the same time.

Eve2860 - I agree with Dixie-Chop/ not bad at all. I think the only thing that was a bit uncomfortale for me was the full bladder. Good Luck!!! Baby Dust, Baby dust, baby dust..........

baby dust to all of u

As for me we transfered 2 eight cell embryos yesturday. The third embrios we had just did not make it. . Dr said that the two embryios were very big and had no fragments in their dna. Now I pray that the two or one we transfered will decide to stay with me untill feb. Hope they make themselves all cozzy.

I cried when the dr put in the two embryos . I was excited and very happy. DH went pale when he saw the long tube that they use for transfering and of course he was very excited.

Dr. told me to take it easy yesturday until tuesday. I can move around house. Tuesday I can go back to work.
I have my beta testing and pregnancy test on June 4th
Everyone have a wonderfull day.
Eve
