Thanks Suzanne. I know that we are all different and respond differently to the drugs...it is just hard not to get wrapped up in the "numbers". I blame it on the hormones.

Jeck!!! Congratulations on the excellent thaw! That is awesome. I will be very anxious to hear your news next week!


To everyone else...hang in there....may we all be completely covered with baby dust!

Riley... I am so happy your sis is have a nice time.. and I can't wait for you to get a BFP and rejoice with your family!!!

Jeck.... sticky vibes... I know the bedrest thing was the worst... but you are right.. it is SOOO worth it.... my test on the 19th is a "baseline" they said... So they wont call me until after the test on the 21st.. I am sorry you have to wait the weekend... and it is not like we can say "oh well I have PG symptoms" cause everything we inject into us is causing PG symptoms.. LOL

Jess... 40 EGGS... holy smokes!!!!! I think that is the most I have ever heard of being collected.... you GO!!!

hi everyone

sorry have not posted for a while. I am on day 7 of stims. they seem to be going ok but i am very tired and a bit all over the place.

I had my IVIG today and that took all day. they had to have 4 attemps in getting the vein. i had a scan on wed and they said i had about 14 - 15 follicles that were growing well about 12mm they thought i should be 4 - 5 days so that would make it about sun for my next scan and then trigger injection. i have blood test tommorow morning and a phone call in the afternoon to tell me what to take and what to do next.

Hope everyone is well and hope evryone had a good relaxing weekend.

Hi girls,

It is amazing how well everyone seems to be doing. I have never heard of anyone having 40 eggs! Fertile Myrtle : ) It is very hard not to compare our individual experiences to others. I know i personally grasp to any information I can get....at the risk of driving my hubby crazy.

I also had problems with the full bladder. My bladder already felt full when I got to the hospital. Then they made me drink more water. I asked if anyone had ever peed on the doctor. They said no and that if you really have to go, you can request a catheter when you are done. Me, I was going to tough it, I made it about 25 minutes and could not take it anymore. ...and they let me up to go to the bathroom. I cannot even explain the pain of having to go. It took me back to my college years when you drink to much beer and end up jumping up and down in the bathroom line. I came home and told my husband that I peed my babies out! Of course, he thought me to be a nut case.

As many of you know, I went for the official test on Wednesday. To be honest I took a HPT at work on Tuesday. The test Tuesday came back positive, with a strong line. On Wednesday, I went to the doctors and it was confirmed, I AM PREGNANT! :lol: :lol: :lol: :lol: :lol: :lol: :lol:

I continue to pray for you all everyday! God has blessed me, and I believe he will bless you all as well : )

Congratulations Michelle! That is awesome!


I am feeling a little stressed again...IVF rollercoaster... I went in for another scan and there are 5 good follies that he can see. Could more be hiding? He didn't change my meds and I go back on Monday. He said there are some littler ones that may catch up. Can I be so bold as to ask for some prayers that they catch up????? I am just worried that with only five follies we won't wind up with anything to actually transfer. I know it only takes one, but...what if they aren't all mature, or they don't all fertilize??? Please pray for me....

CONGRATULATIONS MICHELLE!!!!!!!!!

GOOD LUCK JECK!!!!

Sit back relax, take it easy, let DH run around after you. OH and don't forget to laugh the 2 weeks away. Sending you lots of sticky baby dust and praying for your BFP!!!

Im - You and DH are in my thoughts and prayers, as you said it does take only one. Hold in there hun and try not to stress, i know it's easier said than done. If i remember rightly i didn't have many to begin with, but ended up with 24 follies and 25 eggs.

Riley - Thanks for the good wishes hun, just have to tell you that the 25 eggs were from my first cycle, luckily 15 fertilised and we froze 13 of them so we are still using my frosties.
I'm so happy all is on track with you and DS cycles, I'm praying that you get lots of healthy and fertilised eggs.

Wendy - Hope all went well for you yesterday.

Susan - 14/15 follies thats great, lets hope they get lots of healthy eggs from them all.

Good luck and best wishes to the rest of you lovely ladies and hope all is going well and on track.

DH gave me my 3rd Estrodiol jab last night, I thought he was doing so well, until last night... :?
I think he was starting to get a bit cocky, he jabbed me too low and it hurt and bled. Well with all these hormones i wasn't very happy to say the least, he has some making up to do!!!!!! :wink:

I had my last lupron this morning and i get a day off tomorrow of everything, then i start my progestorone pesseries and medrol and doxy pills on Monday to make my snug and warm incubator ready for my pretty little embryos on Thursday.

Take Care
Hugs Rachel OXO

Hi Girls
Well i'm just resting up although my hospital told me i don't have to, i don't think it can hurt. Had my ET today, we got two 4 cell embies put back. Two were frozen the other day and 5 were left to develop, the other 3 didn't develop very well yet. I'm hoping they do get on a bit better so we've got more to freeze then that would make 5 frosties.

Big congratulations to michelle wtg girl xxxxx

Had my ET today, too!

Out of 7 fertilized eggs, 6 went on to divide.
Five divided to 8 and one was a 6[I thought it would be 2,4,or 8, but he said 6].

Of the 8 cells, four of them were grade 1!!!!!

We implanted two grade 1's and will find if the others are freezable on Tuesday.

Beta test is a week from Wednesday!!!!
