HELLO ALL
CATHAN: Like you, I did not find the "TRIGGER" shot to be bad at all. Don't get me wrong, I bawled the entire time my DH was preparing and injecting, because I was scared of the first IM shot, but I felt nothing. PIO shots were a little harder, but still nothing that cannot be handled.
IRISHHOPE: Maybe you will get lucky and could still have ER on weekend. I only took day of ER off. I wanted to save my time. I was in pain at work the next day, but I made it through. For ET, mine was on Sat and I took off Mon just to have one more day of relaxing. I am thinking good thoughts for a great ER for you.
JUSTJENIS: "GO FOLLIES GO!!!" 7 @ 17-18 for one ovary is awesome!!!
LB: I am glad they are going forward with your cycle. I am praying for a great ER with no OHSS for you.
RUNNERKATE: That was an awesome retrieval. I am so glad you did not cancel your cycle. That fert report is amazing. My RE told me that 50% fertilization is expected, 100% is incredible. I am glad you have such good odds. I know you are from the D.C. area, what clinic are you going to?
ITSGOTTAWORK: I'm glad you are right on track.
CORNYBABY: I'm glad ER went well, can't wait to hear a great "FERT REPORT".
STEPHANIENJ: I did Lupron, Gonal-F and Menopur right up to trigger, than a blessed 36 hours of no injections before ER. Night of ER, PIO shots started.
KBAT: You mentioned you were going to last Acupuncture. Did you like it? I just wondered why you weren't continuing.
BEANER: good luck for a great ER. Like you said and my RN has on a bumper sticker on her car. "IT ONLY TAKES ONE!!!"
As for me, I am still taking the BCP. My last one is this Sunday the 24th. I am in for US and BW on the 25th and start the microdose Lupron injections on the 27th.
I am anxious to get started again, I am praying this is my cycle.
As for POAS, I know it is not recommended and with my first cycle, I did not. I know that I will this cycle, I already bought a three-pack. I will wait until after trigger should be out of my system and test over three consecutive days before BETA. For me, I just did not like being blindsided by the "SORRY" phone call. If you are choosing to wait, that is great, you are very strong!!!!!!!!! I just don't think I can this time.
I have my first Acupuncture appointment Thursday evening. I never even considered it my first cycle. When talking to my RE about my next cycle, I asked if it was helpful and without a seconds hesitation was told "Yes, it does". That was enough for me. I don't have Acupuncture converage in my insurance, but I do get a 25% discount with certain providers. I am little nervous, but I'm sure it will be fine. The Acupuncture Master I spoke to said that she does two treatments the day of ET, one before and one after. Has anyone else heard of this?
I AM SAYING PRAYERS FOR ALL OF US FOR GREAT STIMMING, ER'S, ET'S AND BFP'S!!!!!!!!
