God I love this board!!!! I find so much comfort in reading it. Like Katie said, infertility is SO isolating and communicating with ya'll is so therapeutic and helpful!!!!
rlk1- My ET is scheduled @ 215p. With my beta scheduled 1/28. When is your beta? I'll be thinking of you xoxox
riley- The ET is really easy. The worst part is having a full bladder. Last time I got so cramping for holding my pee..... I am so glad youa re feeling better. I do not have to return to work till next wed so I am just going to chill and have those eggs stick. I keep telling my DH all day.." this is my last day/night of not be pregnant". I find this just keeps me positive.
lou- I will be checking this board all day tomorrow to hear your wonderful news of being BFP!!!!!!
turtle- I am so happy that you have gotten to ER. Enjoy the drugs!!!! Keep us updated.
claud- GL on your baseline
katie- one week till stims..... YEAH!!!! It will be here before you know it!!! P.S. You are our Ghost!!!!!!
misocial- I am so sorry that you are having to deal with all this....I pray tomorrow goes well and those follies grew!!!
beth and moorebaby- grow follies grow!!!!!
roshaunda- the last few days of stimms I found I was over sensitive to the shots. It will end soon GL
Paty- hot showers and more hot showers. Just keep saying pain means growth!! My friends all made fun of how I walking. They thought I looked in pain. GL. It will be over soon!!!!
HMS- only one follie needed!!!!! As you can tell everyone is different and 4 is a good number. rest up and just wait to hear what they tell you tomorrow. I am glad they are going to do ICIS!!!
samgarkay- I measure 13 during all u/s so when they got 18 I was totally shocked. It just goes to show that an u/s is not 100%. Boy I hope you live close to your RE's. But I would rather go too much than not enough!!
dodo- GL on baseline SnS!!!!
ASM- I do not know how many they will implant. My RE said they would do more than 2 before I started this cycle and when they called me today to tell me what time to come in I asked how my eggs were. I was told they do not disturb them till tomorrow b/c even lifting the incubator changes the temp. So I am going in totally prepared to whatever they recommend. I hope my eggs look good and need only 2 implanted. I have decided to stay positive this time b/c it going to hurt so bad if I am BFN, so I am going to enjoy being PUPO. I am one of those people that look for signs in everything. I think doing this with riley is a good sign ( my DH's family name) and tomorrow was the 1st dog I ever had birthday!!!! also I close friend of mine who did a successful IVF had 9 fertilized eggs too!!! Hey I'll take whatever I can!!!! Thanks for all your well wishes. I'll update you all tomorrow!!! GL to everyone tomorrow..XOXOX

Hi ladies,
hms hope you are feeling better, i too always had loads of follies 20+ and could never understand why i only got between 5-9 eggs. My new clinic discovered the pcos and they said this is the main reason i dont have enough eggs in the follies, plus on my history notes my old clinic also failed to inform my that sometimes they couldnt retrieve eggs from my right ovary despite flushing so they left them. I am now on metformin used for diabetics 3 daily to improve the quaity of my eggs. But girl you only need 4 and i pray all will fertilize and grow.
Samgarkay glad to hear you got your PMA back!!
Katie you are a blessing on these boards!! Its true unless you are going thro. ivf its hard to understand and as we are always cycling sometimes it feels like theres nothing else to talk about, at the moment this is our life but soon when we are all bfp it will be baby talk on the pregnant after ivf board!!
Baby hopes good luck with transfer.

7th IVF finally our precious miracle girl Kayla born 24/11/10, 8th IVF FET Sept 2012 BFP!!!
Its TRIPLETS!!!!
Its TRIPLETS!!!!
Good Morning, Everyone!!! I just want to start by saying that I am trying really hard to get up to speed with what is going on with everyone--I want to be able to give back the kind of support that I am already feeling from everyone and I am so grateful to be a part of the group. I feel guilty posting something about myself when I can't yet offer the kind of personal feedback and support that I see on this board. I hope it's ok if I put out a blanket best wishes to everyone while I am still getting it all straight!!! I can't put it into words yet for each of you individually, but as I read everyone's posts and comments, I can honestly feel every one of the emotions--and I'm right there with you all.
Is it ok if I just post some numbers to see what you think? I'm on Day 8 (today) of stims and I got my BW and US results from yesterday morning--they said my E2 was 991 and I had a 17 and 12.3 on the right side and then multiple follicles under 12 on both sides. This was actually a bit reassuring because my first BW on Tuesday came back with E2 at 727 and they were concerned that it was a bit high--and had me reduce my Gonal-F from 300 to 225 (where it is currently). Last time I was on 300 GF and 5 Lupron the whole cycle and I ended up with 18 eggs--this time I am on the GF, 75 IU Luveris and now Ganirelix (for the last 3 days). I just have this feeling like it's not going as well this time--but maybe it's all in my head? That said, I felt like last cycle everything went perfect, perfect but we ended up with a BFN, so maybe I shouldn't read too much into it?
I hope I don't seem selfish by not making individual comments yet--I really don't want to be a taker and not a giver here. I am diligently working my way back from the start of this thread in November--but it's taking me a while to get everyone's story straight. But I promise to get there!! Best of luck to all today with all results, procedures and just generally getting through the day--because IVF can certainly make even that a struggle!!

Well SnS is done, waiting on phone call. Nothing bigger than 1 on either side. I supposedly have about ten follies on each side.
Is it possible that I am just slowwwwww? They will deciede based on b/w, But I dont think it looks good. Just wanna go home and cry....again. All these meds have turned me into a comlpete wreak. I am usually a very positive and strong person, now I am a blubbering baby. Hell, I dont even want to be around me.
Today is day 7 of stims, what is the longest anyone has ever gone, in the event that I am just slow to start???
Best of Luck to everyone on thier path today.

Yup Katie -- You got it right. I've been working non-stop 10-12 hour days this entire week. This I come home exhausted with a headache. Work has been kicking my poor bruised behind. It's so stressful right now. Oh, if they only knew what I'm going through outside of work too!
baby hopes and riley baby -- You guys got GREAT numbers. Wishing you both smooth transfers and lots of baby dust!
Franny -- So happy you are triggering! YAY! Best of luck to you hun.
AFM -- I've been feeling weirdly normal, except for a few terrible PIO headaches. I didn't want to get that call at work or between jobs today so I did POAS prior to my beta. It was negative. I mean not even the faintest line. So that's what I'm expecting today. When I was having my blood draw this morning, my RE poked his head in and I told him that I took a HPT with a sensitivity of 25 and got a negative. He said that sometimes they still see positive betas so he wasn't giving up hope yet. Bless his heart for that. I know you all are going to be checking in for my update this afternoon. I will be heading from one job to the other today around 3:30PM CST, so as long as my phone still has some juice I will update from the parking lot before I go in. Otherwise I won't get to do it until tomorrow afternoon. Keep a prayer for me guys. I sure need it.
Once again, thank you all for your thoughts and support. I wish everyone the very best.
Back to work for me now.

CamiWB: My RE says that no two cycles are alike. And it is more important to have fewer eggs to retrieve of quality than quantity. Now, of course, we ALL want both...but usually that isn't the case. I had 17 eggs my first round...only 10 were mature. So, I think things are going well for you. They often reduce the stim meds to prevent your E2 from getting too high...you don't want that. And tomorrow they might increase it again. And if you are PCOS at all...this is even harder to manage, I'm told. Keep your chin up! And take a deep breath...sit and relax...lay on the floor and just relax your body. I found that really helped me during stims. Let us know how your next appt goes!
AFM- I'm in thd midst of Lupron! It's been messing up my sleep a bit, but I'm doing fine so far. Just did a spin class and burned 529 caloried! Wooo whoo!
I want to exercise as long as I can before stims! Then I'll be doing gentle yoga (something new for me). I also started accupuncture once a week to help treat the "spirit" side of me and manage the emotional stress. I really felt this was missing from IVF#1. So I'm hoping it'll help me!
Hope everyone has a blessed weekend. Sorry to not be able to do personals for all. There is just too many of us! But I hope you all know that this group helps tremendously!

Misocial - Did you mean that there are 2 measurable? 1 on each side? We'll see what your RE has to say today, if they continue the cycle they will have to monitor you every day since you have nothing preventing premature ovulation. I know this sucks, cry all you need to. Half of its the hormonal overload and half is the mountain of stress this brings. Ask them what your E2 level is (estrogen) if its not steadily climbing, you may want to cancel yourself. Its so hard to be self pay ( I"m right there too) you want to give yourself the best possible chance, if you're lucky enough to have 20 follies you dont want to go to ER with just a few. I'm keeping my fingers crossed for you, yes some just stim slower.The longest I've ever heard of was 15 days. You have to keep in mind that if you do get cancelled, its NOT your fault! They over suppressed you so your money SHOULD carry over. If not you need to raise the roof over there. I'm pulling for you! - big big hugs to you!
Lou -UGH! beta day on a double shift day. - I'm still holding out for your b/w to come back (damn those evil sticks!

Franny -Hope that it went well and you're getting some rest

i can't believe how this list keeps growing! Thanks everyone for the encouragement.
lou: thinking of you...blood is better than the sticks for sure. let us know!
franny: how'd the retrieval go!? are you doing your magazine/bad tv thing?
missocial: i did 12 days of stims on one of my iuis. i wouldn't give up yet. let us know what the nurse says.
claud: any news? any AF?
gi: i have no idea if PCOS is to blame - it's never come up, so i can only assume it's not an issue? i thought i read somewhere that there's actually no such thing as an empty follie - if they don't get the egg it's because they can't for whatever reason. where are you off to for your weekend away?
babyhopes: hope the transfer goes smoothly. how many did you end up putting back? and freezing? for some reason my new RE doesn't do the full bladder thing (yay), so i get to show up Sunday with an empty one. the nurse said she thinks it's just the way doctors are trained - some do full, others empty. who knew.
moorebaby: hope the shots are continuing with the same ease.
samgarkay: i wouldn't move your ER if you can help it. it seems like the work situation should understand if you've had a 'standing appointment'. especially because the day of your ER is so precisely timed...mine was actually a day earlier than expected because my estrogen levels were so high.
dodo: how did the SnS go today?
hope644: thanks for your message! no, no litters for this one thank you very much. i live in a 'no pets' building, after all.
rlk: hope the transfer went well!
rileybaby: did you go back to work today? how's PUPO feeling?
AFM: well, as of now, i'm doing better than my last IVF. of the 4 eggs - 3 fertilized! (only 2 last time). we still need to wait and see that the 3 divide and continue to divide until Sunday so they make the grade for transfer. we aren't sure if we'd transfer all 3 or just 2 and freeze 1. is it weird to freeze just 1? we don't necessarily have an ethical issue with transferring 3, I just wonder if it's a bad idea to put all your eggs in one basket, so to speak (sorry for the terrible pun!).
don't know if they'll give me an update tomorrow, or if we just have to wait until Sunday to find out how many made it - I may cave and call. But THANK YOU to all the good thoughts...we're one step closer to getting off the roller coaster.

misocial,
I am so sorry to hear about the follies issue. I would think if you have some, they may be able to stim you longer to let them go. However, your hormone levels have alot to do with it, so I will keep my fingers crossed that the nurse call will be a helpful/good one.
lou,
Thinking of you and still pulling for a BFP. Blood is MUCH better than urine!
hms,
Glad to hear 3 eggs fertilized! that is great. I would try not to make a decision on how many to transfer until you have the grading report. You may have 3 great ones or 2 great and 1 so-so(then I would consider transferring all 3).
rlk1,
thinking you! You are now PUPO!
AFM: I had SnS today. Lining is 9 and hormone levels are good. Transfer is scheduled for 1/21. Won't know exact time until ofc calls on Tuesday.

Hi Ladies - I just wanted to give everyone a quick update: I'm on day 6 of my stims & had my first sonogram this morning - and I was happy to hear that we have follies growing I was so excited! Especially since I was told by my RE that it was going to be difficult to stimulate my ovaries, but not impossible. I have another sonogram on Monday morning. by the way he recommended hot baths for the pain - that's where I'll be most of my weekend along with some magazines & my laptop 
I'm work & I will do some personals later today! Thank you so much for your encouragement.

misocial - I'm hoping for the best for your cycle. Even if you get cancelled this time, it sounds like a good sign that you have 20 in there.
PatyPaty - Grow follies, grow!
hms/heather - 3 fertilized is good - I'm not sure what I'd do about the freezing. Freezing one might be a good idea if your other two look good. I'm very much afraid of multiples though, so take my advice with a grain of salt.
Lou - I'm holding out hope for your beta!
gi - I hope you have a lovely weekend away
baby hopes - Can't wait to here how your transfer went! I agree that the full bladder for ET is the worst part of this whole process! May yours go quickly.
katie - You are so right about this taking over our lives. I go out with my girlfriends, and we all have our updates, and mine is the uterus update. Either way this goes, I'm looking forward to having something else to talk about someday. I thought about staying off the boards this cycle, but I do really need it as a place where others understand, and I really needed the positive attitude that all of you ladies give me.
Had another SnS today - am waiting to talk to my doctor this afternoon after he gets my e2 results back. He's torn about whether I should trigger tonight or tomorrow. I'm hoping for tomorrow, since DH is out of town til then, and I really don't like to give the IM shots myself!
PatyPaty - Grow follies, grow!
hms/heather - 3 fertilized is good - I'm not sure what I'd do about the freezing. Freezing one might be a good idea if your other two look good. I'm very much afraid of multiples though, so take my advice with a grain of salt.
Lou - I'm holding out hope for your beta!
gi - I hope you have a lovely weekend away
baby hopes - Can't wait to here how your transfer went! I agree that the full bladder for ET is the worst part of this whole process! May yours go quickly.
katie - You are so right about this taking over our lives. I go out with my girlfriends, and we all have our updates, and mine is the uterus update.

Hi All,
Just wanted to let everyone know I got the official call. It's another BFN for me.
Soooo.... I'm going to stop PIO and wait for AF to come and call the clinic. I guess RE is going to change my protocol for the next cycle. Not sure if I'm going to take a month off or go right into it yet. We kinda want to take a ski vacation in Feb. So right now I'm leaning towards giving my body (and brain) a break and waiting an extra month. We shall see.
Good luck to everyone. I'll be around.
