Nicliz – How did the scan and BW go today?

Lauren1171 – Did you re-test again today w/ a HPT?

Lauren - How are you feeling today?

Emmax – I hope you are feeling better today. Yes, they only thing you can take is Tylenol and NO hot water bottles or hot tubs either.

Helene – Your test said you are having a girl … that is great! Isn’t that what you told us that you wanted for this baby? Can’t wait to see the remainder of the test results … I thought you said there was an additional part to it right?

I live in Ohio and I actually come to Canada at least once a year. I would love for our babies to meet each other. I would love to go to London also. My DH is always talking about traveling to different countries! I love the Disney World idea in Orlando, Florida, also. I have been there three times. The first time was for a business meeting; the next was just my DH and I; and the last was for a business meeting again this past January. It is so much fun!!!

Franca – thanks for the kinds words. My pregnancy symptoms started right away … but I noticed they got worse this weekend. I was really nauseated and I slept all weekend but I have been like that with all of my pregnancies. You might not feel any symptoms at all, several women don’t at all.

Sometimes, I think you are right about the additional betas because they have made me a nervous wreck! When did you say they will do your scan again?

Amanda – I am glad you took it easy this weekend and your co-workers helped you out as much as possible.

Not hopeless yet – I have to reply to you twice because I am just so very happy for you … whoo hooo!

Natakia – how are you feeling today?

*** I hope I didn’t miss anyone, if I did I am sorry. I will recheck the boards later to chat with you ladies later.

AFM – Well, I had my 5th beta today and I am happy to say it was 2,607, which means it is still doubling every 48 hrs like it is supposed to! My progesterone is still a little high at 212 but I still feel good so far. My RE also rescheduled my first u/s from this Thursday to next Monday at 11:15am. That way I have a better chance of seeing a HB because I will be 6 weeks & 4 days on Monday and my DH will be able to go also. So no more BW for a while unless I become very nervous and ask them to repeat it again over the next week! Thank you ladies so much for all of your support … I love you guys!

Angela

not hopeless yet- what wonderful news!!! congrats, how exciting :)) can't wait to hear more news from you!

tammy- i am so sorry to hear this. will keep you in my prayers.

so my e2 level is pending, im now day 8 stim with 225un follistim. u/s today shows R ovary with follicles 17x14, 8x12, and 4 that are <10. L ovary follicles 17x14, 16x14, 20x13, 17x22, 12x11, 13x13, 10x12, 19x12, and 3 that are <10. any guesses on when they will do retrieval? are these numbers good? I wish i had some idea what to expect :)

thanks to all of you for your care and concern :))

Nicliz - Those are great numbers! You might do your trigger Friday or Saturday depending on how you continue to respond to the stims for a retrieval on Sun or Monday. You can never tell until they keep checking you w/ an u/s and BW. All of a sudden you could just take off and start growing rapidly so they will better be able to tell you w/ your scans and BW. But, you are moving right along!

So you can get a better idea of what they are looking for, here is some info:

I found some data that says "In a gonadotropin cycle, mature follicle size is between 16 - 20 mm. These cycles are typically triggered when follicle size is between 16 - 20 mm". They say the follicles should grow 1-2mm each day.

Nicliz - I would say you will probably trigger in the next few days. Are you using cetrocide?
