Last time, I had 4 transferred (8c, 7c, 6c and 4c - all of them pretty good grades) - which was all that I had, none frozen (I had 8 retrieved). My RE wanted me to go for it and use all of them since I've had such a hard time getting pg and we were fine if we had twins. I also have a hard time getting lots of mature follicles - I am a poor responder. I had to cancel an IVF cycle and I did the 1st IVF even though my RE wanted me to cancel it. I take the max does of Repronex (Menagon) - 12 amps a day (6am/ 6pm)!

I will find out more about the meds on the 12. I am just so up in the air with this being our first attempt how many eggs to transfer. I am 38 and DH is 42. I had 2 children before having tubes tied with no problems. Hubby does not have any but his counts are fine. I would really just like to have one but twins would be great too. But the number 3 has always been my lucky number. I am being kinda superstious and want to have 3 embies. Does that sound nuts

Well welcome Lori and I will be saying prayers for you. I think I am going to need a cheet sheet.

di you think it would be worthwhile taking the week before ER off to give my body a chance to get back into regular mode,could this have been a contributing factor to things working out for me,or am i grasping at straws...

in my openion (and it is not a pro.. lol) I think that if night shift is what your body is used to then it will not make a defference.. I think the person trying to take your blood should not have told you that.... sometimes it is harder to get blood because of not drinking enough water and such... HTH... Hang in there

Hi everyone... I got a call from my nurse today and she sent out my Calander today (so I should have it tomorrow) and I will know when it all goes down... woooohoooo finally....

but I must say.. I am a bit more freaked out this time... more pressure.. we are loosing our ins come the first of the year and I have NO idea if we will have coverage after this cycle... so the pressure is ON!!!!

but we do still have 2 snowbabies... so I am trying to hold on to that....

Hey girls-

Welcome and good luck Lori!

I did it! I ordered all of my drugs. I feel like there is no turning back now! They will come on Tuesday. Does anyone else have their meds yet? I forgot to ask if it came with all the needles...
I always think of all the questions after I hang up!

Jenn WooHoo now you are on your way!!!

Lori--Welcome!! I will have to add you to the list!!

dvrdab--Welcome!! will add you to the list also!!!

Nance-- Hope the class went well, I never got to post the other day about worry!! Hello, my name is Jessica and I am a compulsive worrier!!! This is my 2nd IVF and I thought I would be more calm, but I'm a total basket case!!!

Sorry for the short post I got to get back to work!!

Hi All,

My DH and I are back from our class at the RE's office to teach us how to use the injectables. So now I am officially freaking out. The Lupron needle looks ok but the Progesterone looks like it is not going to be fun. My DH just sat there with a deer in the headlights kind of look on his face. I don't think he realized how much there is to all of this. I am going back on Tuesday for my Mock, Endometrial Biopsy and Ultrasound (to see how my cycst is doing) and at that point they will let me know if I am a go. I start Lupron on Sunday and If I am a go it looks like the Retrieval will be Either October 5, 6 or 7th. They said they do the transfer on day 3 after the retrieval. I think I am going to take off of work the first two weeks of October. I know it is not necessary to take off that long but I think I will feel more comfortable if I do.

Welcome to all the new gals. It is great to have you here with us.

Jenn - All the needles came with my drugs in the mail. They sent pleanty.

Jordan22- Let us know when you get your calendar.

Cowgirl - We also have been thinking about how many eggs to transfer. I think we will do two but will probably go with what the Dr. says is best.

Have a great day everyone.

All my best,
Nance

Hey Lady's... Jeck i start Lupron on 14th..woohoo... im excited

i do have one question if anyone can help ease my mind... i am doing the same protocol as last time with the addition of asprin post EC and this time they are going to use HCG as a trigger shot the last two times ive used Ovidrel does anyone know what difference this makes at all?..i had a really good (well i think so)Ec vs fertilization rate im worried changing my trigger may lesson this...any info helpful

lots of love Debz

Hi All,

Just checking in and catching up on all the posts. I am so glad that some of you are already on your way! I am getting so tired of waiting to start this process-it just adds to my time to think about things. I have been trying to distract myself as much as possible but it's hard!!

All the posts from the worry warts made me smile and feel like I have kindrid spirits out there! I am the biggest worrier-I am constantly asking DH questions about the most obscure possible thing that might happen. He just looks at me like I'm crazy! He asks why I do this to myself and why I can't just take everything one step at a time. I don't know-not in my makeup I guess! Glad to know that I'm not the only one!

Still taking bcp and still waiting to start Lupron on 9/17-feels like an eternity!

Jeck-thanks for the great list to keep track of everyone!

Have a great day girls!!

Jen

Aunty.... I used Ovidril before also.. I am not sure what the difference is between that and HCG.... also.. the BA after EC will not change anything when it comes to the eggs... it is more for implantation.. and blood flow... Hang in there... let me see what I can find out...

tick tock.. I wish the mailman would get here so I can see my calander... I don't like not knowing.. lol

Hi All,how is everyone,good i hope..

Well i started this thread when my FET failed early August,then freaked out for a while and kinda dissappeared,just had to try work thru things in my head..(took a while)

Had my review on Monday and going with AF day 2 which means i start my buserlin on 2nd October if AF on time,ive just been going thru the motions this week and thinking here we go again...Was working last night,found myself looking at all the things for babies layette,and all of a sudden was crying and had to leave shop floor,and it kinda just hit me..MY GOD,here we go again,and all of a sudden im excited again,ive walked about like an idiot all day thinking I NEED to be pg,I NEED this cycle to work,I NEED to have a baby in my arms,Ive surfed net all day looking at baby sites,prams,cots etc etc..

So ladies,what im trying to say is BRING IT ON,lets all try not too worry too much (an impossibility i know!!),lets all get excited,and as my friend Jeck knows im not a religious person,but lets ALL pray that we ALL get our wish,and are soon celebrating BFP's..

Sticky baby dust,love and best wishes..Nicola..xx
