marya Yes they do grow more after trigger.

Waiting for the beta results. Good luck everyone. I am saying a liilte prayer for you. :wink:

Can you get cramps from estrogen? I am only on estrogen patches and lupron, but I am getting a little cramping. I am doing FET and not stimulating. All should be resting in there. Maybe it's in my head! :roll:

Hi girls -

Ok, first I was a bit nervous that I've been slightly crampy since ET 10/1, then it was like a pressure feeling, now nothing i feel fine. So now that is making me nervous. ARGH!! I wonder if ANYONE in the history of ivf has made it through the dreaded 2ww without driving themselves mad? I doubt it. :lol:

sancap / miyaya -Are you nuts yet? Or at least on the way there?


shelby -I hope you DO need both boy & girl stuff! (and me too!)

teachermom -Hooray for getting going! now go grow em girl!

kala -crossed that you trigger soon!

j & c - How many embies did you transfer?

Karen - crossed for your cycle, I've been cancelled twice, I know how much it sucks! Ask RE what size he likes them to be trigger. GL!!

marya -diluted lupron is used for micro flare, also called lupron flare. Nice small doses!
DOR/ hydro tubes removed
IVF #7 -FET with donor embies 2/10 -BFP!
DS born 11/10
Trying for a sibling

Our fert. report today is that we still have 7 fertilized, which I still just can't believe. 6 are an "A" and 1 is a "B". I can't wait until the transfer on Wednesday morning.

I can't wait to hear everyone's beta today!! :D

malya - That is so scary. Keep up with the PMA. When is your next u/s?

karenthescorpio - Let us know what you and your RE decide. I'm very curious. And I say - slap away sister!!! :lol:

shelby - Whew-hew!!! I'm so excited that everything is going great!

sangria - I never felt pregnant when I was pregnant, in fact, I was certain that our last cycle was negative, b/c I didn't feel a thing, and I was definitely pregnant. Let us know how the POAS goes.

kala - You go girl. Grow, follies, grow!!! I thought my E2 was lower compared to everyone else too, but I think that is just how my #'s ran for E2.

Sticky baby dust. Sticky baby dust!!!!

Katie99- I'm trying not to read into every little twinge or pain, it'll drive us crazy if we do. Just trying to enjoy being PUPO for now. I'm sure I'll start freaking somewhere around Wednesday or Thursday :wink: Also glad to be out of bed today but ironically, I feel tired lol.

Yay Cricket- sticky embie dust to you. I'm feelin good things for you this time around. 4 times??!! You and katie99 must have nerves of steel!

shelby AWESOME beta number girlie! I am sooooo happy for you. I can't wait to be where you are.....hopefully someday soon:)

Sangria- very good point re: cancellation. You can never be sure what the clinic's reasons are for doing what they do which makes this stuff that much harder to understand. (Does that make sence?..lol)

kala0704- I don't really understand the triple stripe thing either ( know it's the best but other than that...) but my RE said that my lining measured at 12 also the day they had me trigger and he said that it was very good...better than what they looked for at that point! He hasn't mentioned it since.

AFM- Question. What is a PIO shot? It seems like everyone is taking them except me? I'm kinda glad b/c they sound painful but I don't wanna miss out on anything either so can someone please explain why they are needed (or not in my case)? Gracias!

Katie99 - the waiting is not so bad for me, of course I want to know asap but I am not stressing about it this time around. I figured I will leave it in God's hands and not touch it. :D

once you have had neg results, you kinda prepare for anything.

how are you doing hopefully not going too crazy!! Best wishes to you!!

Trying to keep up with this board but not obsess. It is hard, when I go a few days without reading I miss so much.

Congrats to all of the BFP's.

My heart goes out to all the BFN's - our time will come.

And patients and sticky dust to all of us in between!

marya - I am doing diluted Lupron or "Lupron Flair" this time around as well. 20 Units of the diluted Lupron twice a day. Also started my stems with my 3rd day of the Diluted Lurpon and started off BIG with 4 viles of Bravelle and 4 of Menopur.

AFM - I am currently on day 5 of the stems and go tomorrow for US & BW to see how things are going. We are also trying Intra Lipids this time around, I am going Thursday for this IV infusion. Supposed to increase the implantation rate...anyone ever heard or done this?

j & c -So happy for you! 7 great embies is fantastic! sorry my post before, i meant how many will you transfer? so much luck on Wed!!!

sancap -PIO is progesterone in oil. Are you on the progesterone suppositories a few times per day then? Yes, they suck but at least i know i'm getting the full dose, as opposed to the supp, I would stress the meds are leaking out. I know, more crazy thoughts! :oops: progesterone supports the pregnancy until your body is producing enough on its own.
wait, so now Remy has the whole bed to himself?

cricket -We think along the same lines! best of luck to us all!

iamhopeful -intra lipids help with immune issues. good luck!

hugs all around! xoxo

J&C-Im so excited for you!! GL on wednesday!!! Sticky sticky dust to you!!!

Tonyacheek-Woo hooo! It is finally time to get this party started! GL on thursday. GL and sticky dust to you!!
dnbbruce-Hey! Welcome!!! You and I are the same path. The docs are thinking I will have my egg retrieval on Thursday! I cant wait!!! Im on lupron and goanl-f. My side effects have been fatigue, bloating and cramping. How are you feeling? PMA (postive mental attitude)to you!

Karen-holy moly!!! Im freaking out! You should be fine. I thought those results are great. im on day 10 with 4 follicles at 15 or more and estradiol at 408. The doctors said everything look great and we might do the tigger shot tomorrow. I dont understand it either. I only compare myself to all the other ladies results and I seem on the low side. I even made my DH call the doc and verify that my e2 level is good...and she said 408 is great. Now Im nervous. But, i know we will be fine and have our BFP in no time.
Malya-im still praying for you and your little bean! Everything will be fine! PMA to you!

AFM-like I said to karen, the docs say that everything looks good. However, im nervous...everything seems low. But who knows maybe the numbers will be higher tomorrow. Hey, I have a question...what classifies as a triple stripe? I thought is was cool how several of you ladies had one....but Im not sure if the docs here would know what im talking about if I ask. My endometrium is 12mm.

Prayers for everyone!!!

Well ladies, they finally called and it's not good news. My beta was only 5, which essentially is a negative. They say anything 5 and over is pregnant, but she started the phone call saying it was bad news and that this late (13dp3dt) that a 5 is not good. She was very apologetic and told me she didn't want to give me false hope.

I almost wish she had called and said it was 0, so I could just be done with it. Now I will go for bw on Wednesday, and who knows, maybe by some miracle it will rise, but I really doubt it. I have read crazier stories on these boards, but it is so rare. I really don;t want the 2 more days of torture. But thank you all for your prayers.
