HelloKitty-Welcome- I go to the Woodstock office tomorrow morn. for my Day 8 u/s and bw. I normally go to Buckhead. Which office do you normally use?
Melanie- I hope you are high as a kite during ER!!!!

[hellokitty]

laurie35 - thanks for the warm welcome

jeneden - Hi! I'm usually at the Perimeter office, maybe once at Buckhead. I love the fact that you can go to any of them in a pinch. I end up at Woodstock for any weekend work and the ER/ET. My first us/bw will be on the 06/28. I'm sure I will be surronded by everyone's BFP. It's so nerve wrecking.....I love it!

[carebear110b]

goodmorn ladies,
hello kitty,welcome this is n awsome group of ladies to know
jeneden, the pio and estradiol shots are coming ok just ice ice ice ice cant stres that enough although i think i left it to close to my skin for too long i had a frozen patch of skin it didnt hurt when it finally warmed up again but now i have a painful black and blue mark where it got hard and its tender....not sure what that means but im keeping an eye on it....anyway after the shot rub it in with a warm heating pad or something warm tp make sure it spreads and it will go fine. this bedrest is for the birds its only day one and already i hate it lol well now im on the dreded 2ww and i REALLY HOPE my lil embies stck!!!well until later ladies i will be back lol

[Mybaby]

Brandi, Congratulation on ur Transfer, Glad it all went well, I have a Q if u dont mind, were u on full bladder for the Retrieval or Transfer & was it uncomfortable ???? Lots of sticky dust to u

Ladies Today after 8 days of stimms my follies r around 14mm, doc says I have around 20 follies & todays BW reveled E2 to be at 5766, nurse called to tell me no meds for today & tomorrow & also will have a scan & BW on sunday so lets see how that goes.... Hopefully my follies will grow, just worrrying abt that.....

Mulligan - how much were ur follies measuring around Day 9 ? And how much did they measure when u triggered, I'm askng bcoz ur E2 levels were almost same as mine....thats y

Ladies Good Luck!!!

GROW FOLLIES GROW

[mulligan]

MyBaby - I'm not quite sure exactly how big my follies were on Day 9. I had about 22 so they were really all over the board. I would say mostly they were in the range of 16-22. I know I had a few that were over 25, the largest being 28. I'm sure that I had smaller ones too, but the majority were in the high teens to low 20's. My E2 was 3600 on Day 9 (down from 5078 on Day . It sounds like your follie size is fine, remember that they grow about 2mm a day. They'll be just at the right size for retrieval. I will warn you that with more follicles retrieved, the harder recovery is. I'm on Day 3 since my retrieval and I still feel uncomfortable. Bloated and still tender. I'm definitely getting better, but the recovery has been slower than I thought. They told me that recovery is slower when you have many follicles. It sounds like you are in good shape and will have lots of embryos to work with. Good luck!

Ladies-tomorrow I hear how my embryos are doing- I hope that they are dividing appropriately! This is so tough, all of this waiting! Hope you are all great!

mybaby, for retrieval bladder was empty after they knocked me out they inserted a cathetar, but it was out before i woke up. for transfer yes it was full, and it was a lil unconfortable but not too bad my abd is still a lil uncomfortable from retrieval and is a lil distended but they said it was normal so i dont know im just all around uncomfortable. i hope it ll goes well for you your in my prayers.

[kerribell]

Brandi - congrats on transfer, I hope your embies are snuggling in!

hellokitty - welcome, welcome, welcome


Melanie - I hope your ER went well today, and that they got lots of good eggies

I had b/w and u/s today. My day 7 E2 was 400. I now have 9 follies, 4 between 10 and 14 and the others are less than 10. I go back Monday for more monitoring.

Have a good weekend!

Kerri

[carebear110b]

ugh i dont mean to rant but i just had this overwhelming feeling that the embies didnt implant i had this overwhelming depressed feeling all of a sudden and i cant get it to go away. im cramping i dont know if thats a good sign or not when is impantation supposed to happen? i dont know whats wrong with me maybe the progesterone i dont know sorry if i went all crazy just had to talk to someone. and i still have 10 more days till preggo test. this should be fun. hope all of you are well

[rockrat71]

Hi girls. I am back from Retrieval. It wasn't too bad. They only got 5 eggs from me though. I started crying when I woke up and they told me. Dr. Carpenter came in though and said it went really well and she was pleased with what we got. She said they drained everything they could reach and that 5 ended up going to the embryologist. My ovaries are stuck behind my uterus which makes surgery hard and I had only about 10 follies to begin with. I'm a nervous wreck to hear tomorrow's report. I'm literally freaking out...I can hardly stand it.

ACRM girls (welcome HelloKitty), I always go to Woodstock and they were great. From the nurses to the anesthesiologist...even got to meet the embryologist who was in the room waiting for the eggs to be handed off. Seems like the ER was over in 5 minutes. GREAT drugs. I'm a bit sore now but it's tolerable. I've been sleeping all day though basically. If I mentally can just stay sane until the morning...and then until Monday it will be a miracle. I'm so worried!!!!!!

To the rest of you ladies...I"m thinking of ALL of you!

[LisaPa]

So much going on with everyone As for me i am waiting to start Lupron July 5th is the day i am starting. As soon as i know all my dosage info i will post it. Just checking in Im thinking of everyone


Few things to say to everyone,

STICK EMBIES STICK PLEASE......

GROW FOLLIES GROW...........

LOTS OF BABY DUST TO EVERYONE

LISA

[hellokitty]

carebear110b - Wow you have 9 frosties....that's awesome. I pray all of your little embies stick! I do have 2 frosties that I will use if this cycle doesn't work out. The cramping is to be expected...did your dr give you anything for the pain. I know Tylenol 500 mg is a safe bet gut I think I remember they gave me some pretty good happy pills too. And all the hormones play wicked games with our emotions. Concentrate only on PMA and have DH pamper you. I know saying relax is easier said than done but that is the best for you and your embies!!

Mybaby - I'm glad your stimming is going so well. Last time, I never took anything with me to write down my numbers but everyone seems to stay on top of that here. So, I will make sure to jot that down. I think I was so excited last time that I would not have had a clue what I was writing down, KWIM?

kerribell - thanks for the warm welcome!

rockrat71 - I'm sorry that you did not get more eggies but just concentrate on quality and not quanity. I had 21 eggs last time and only ended up with 5 viable embies so I know exactly how you feel. I know it is rather cliche' but it really only takes one(who wants to hear that right now right ). Dr. Carpenter is super honest and if she says they are good then just relax and let your uterus take over.

Ladies - I hope everyone has a great weekend. I took my last BCP today.....yeah!!! Quick question - did anyone get a period after the last BCP. I did not have to do the BCP last time because I have PCOS and I hardly ever get a period. My dr just made sure my lining looked right and we jumped straight to the lupron.

Thanks

[laurie35]

Good afternoon Ladies
I just wanted to write and tell you all what a fantastic scan i just had
I have 8 follies in one side and 7 on the other side largest being 18mm and smallest 14mm, tummy is guite swollen but he doesnt think i should be too worried.
