New IVF'er Feeling Lost In Big Cycle Group - anyone else?

[Molly05]

Sonya...wow, they must really be testing your patience, but you're right, at least you go one in an adjoining town. It's like they are working against you, instead of with you!

The nurse called today to let me know that I was going to have the ET on day five...not sure what that means, but I'll take it!

[DandMe]

It means you are having a five day transfer. How many embryos do you have and what are the sizes so far? How many will you be transferring? Good luck with your trigger! 5 Day embies have a higher implantation rate..

[Molly05]

Sonya, they won't give me any information about the embryos until it is time for transfer because they said so much changes in these few days, so I just have to wait! There is another trigger shot? I am NOT enjoying the progesterone shots, that's for sure...that is one BIG needle!

[DandMe]

Oh sorry Molly I was mixed up! No, there isn't a second trigger shot. Oops!

I can't believe they dont' fill you in on your embies! Most everyone I've known gets a call every day telling them how the embies are doing, and yes, there are lots of changes.... that you have every right to know about. Sorry about the progesterone shots - I take suppositories 3x a day, and prefer that a lot more to needles. when is your et?

[sruppe]

I didn't get daily updated on my embies either. They said once they are fertalized they don't like to disturb them unless it is absolutely necessary......I agree Sonya, I liked the suppositories a lot better than having to take another shot!

Good Luck on your ET!

[Molly05]

I had my ET today and the embryos were 4AA and 4BB which the doctor seemed happy with. Wow...the whole full bladder thing makes you feel like you are going to explode!

[DandMe]

Molly! Yay! Those are great quality embies!! I had 2 4AB embies. Yes I do hear you on the bladder thing - I was in misery!!

Congratulations!! Sruppe - I just thought it was a normal thing.... How are you feeling...?

[sruppe]

Molly-how is your 2WW going?

[Molly05]

Hi Sruppe...just got my call today-BFP!!! My beta is 65 (9dp5dt) and I go in on Saturday for more blood work. So...I am holding my breath now til Saturday! So exciting!

[Molly05]

Sonya...just read your blog...I am so incredibly sorry. It has been so wonderful following your journey and I hope you know how inspiring, interesting, informative, funny, and special it has been to witness. This seems so incredibly unfair...but I really don't know what to say besides I hope that you and David hold on to one another extra tightly and find strength in one another. I will be thinking of you both.

[sruppe]

Molly, that is AWESOME! I am so happy for you! Keep us posted!

Sonya,
Words can't express how deeply sorry I am on what you are going through! That isn't fair for something like this to happen and I will never understand why it happens to those of use who want this so bad! You and your DH will be in my prayers and I hope you will keep us updated on how you are doing! <<<HUGS>>>>>
