I haven't been in touch in a while. I am kind of new to this and have been really confused about everything. This is my first ICSI cycle and I start stims tomorrow. I am not sure about what my E2 levels should be and when to expect ER. My dr hasn't given me a date. Does anyone know about how long after stims are started is ER done?
I have been quite nervous and stressed out I feel like I don't know what is going on. It is nice to be here and know that there is support.
Good luck to all of you on 2ww and going through tmt and congrats to those who have a BFP.
I had ICSI last April. It was a short protocol/tmt ( I did not down regg)
I start stims injections on day 2 of AF. It lasted 9/10 days and I had ER. Then 3 days after I had ET.
So really, it doesnt help sorry... you should ask your doc, no need to add stress. I was really nervous (it was my first fertility tmt) and my doc spoke hardly any english!! (It was done abroad). I just went with the flow, not knowing what meds I was taking or why!!
I have to say that I am much more prepared for the 2nd round now!!
I am sure all will be fine!
Dont hesitate to ask questions!
loads of PMA
take good care

E2 levels are a mystery to me too. I think actually its time to do more research on that, because that's why my cycle was cancelled last time through.
Souris, thanks for the opportunity on the other thread to pull out some rusty French.
Nicki - hope the insanity of the 2ww isn't getting to you too badly yet.
Joy- ever my friend and my source of support. Thanks for the smiles when I was down.
Yesterday I finally went to see the baby. It wasn't as bad as I thought. And I went and put flowers on my father's grave. It was actually very cathartic, and I feel an immense sense of relief. I think when babies do come into my life, I will name one after my father.
You all have been such a godsend. Thanks from the bottom of my heart.

Had another scan today and doc says I've been v.busy! Saw a good 10 black blobs on the screen, and that was just the right ovary! He's slowing the dose a little and sending me for a blood test on Fri as an added precaution to check I'm all on track. Fingers crossed for a successful ER on Mon! :-z
Anyway, well done everyone for being so loving and positive. Big cuddles all round.
1 more day and as hard as I am trying not to it's all I am thinking about!!
Doubt I will get any work done today!
At least I have Lost to watch tonight to get my mind off testing tomorrow!!
Hope you ladies are having a good day!

souris and denise- thank-you I feel a little better knowing that it isn't just me my dr doesn't speak english very well also I really have a hard time understanding him. When reading these posts it sounded like everyone knew exactly what is going in in their tmt, I wasn't sure if it was because they had a tmt done before or if I was just not informed enough.
fullofaith- Hope you get a BFP
Has anyone been on lupron and stims? If yes is it okay to take the shots at the same time? and on the same place?
just popping in to see how life is treating u girls.... the 2ww this time is odd...... I hardly feel like i am waiting.... very odd, some times, I actually forget, that sounds awful, but honestly parhaps it'll get me a BFP.... I do hope so......
Keeping busy this time, i guess thats why.....
No signs yet..... just me....... feel the same x x
TTC 6yrs......Have jumped off the rollercoaster for now, too many BFN's and too much heartache, to keep going....Moving on to fulfil other dreams!!!

NickiMark...feel any different yet? Good that you're chilled out I think. Sending a big squeeze and lots of PMA!
Allison/Fulloffaith...well??? Are you ok?
Chrissy...how's stimming going? I'm also at that stage and doing ICSI. It's been fine for me so far, but last couple of days the needle's not wanted to go in so easy - think the tissues must be getting harder or something. Nothing to complain about though really.
Everyone else...hope you don't mind me not mentioning you personally, but sending you a HUGE BIG SQUEEZE!
Well...this is the worst!! Waiting for them to call you! I went in at 7:15 and still nothing 6 hours later! How long does it usually take?? I am about to die!! I have the worst butterflies in my tummy ever!
fulofaith/allison sending you lots of baby dust I am sure you will being posting a BFP
luby you too good luck tomorrow
lavender I know what you mean about the needles we had a hard time getting mine in yesterday I never had that issue with lupron. Good luck with your ER for Mon. Do you have problems getting air bubbles out we did last night. Other than that I am okay just keep wondering what is going on inside me and am really hoping it is good.
Good luck to all of you on 2ww and going through tmt and congrats to those who have a BFP.
