2nd Scan: 12/8 Get to see the heartbeat!
Sorry, but my brains to fried to make this personal, but I'm reading all and praying for good outcomes for everyone.
I went in today for u/s and will be ready tomorrow for HCG. We debated for today or tomorrow, but then decided to get them a little bigger. I have around 22, but that includes the small ones. I know there are 11 or 12 that will be mature (hopefully). So, my egg retrieval will be Friday and most likely ET will be MOnday 11/6. Of course though, my acupuncturist is out of town on Monday, so someone not as experienced in Fertility acupuncture has to do it. I'm not too happy about that, but nothing I can do. I could have pushed to retrieval up a day like I said, but then transfer would be Sunday and my husband is out of town, and the Dr I like would not be able to do the transfer. Oh well, I think I feel better this way. I'm surprised so many of you feel so bad during stims. I don't feel bad until after retrieval usually. Last time I was super bloated for 2 days afterwards, but then it went away.
Take care of yourselves.

I'd love to join in with you girls---I'm taking my last bc tomorrow and the we'll be good to go---hopefully looking at er in about 3-4 weeks. Is there anything more nerve wracking than ivf do you think?

Wow! There is so much going on, and it sounds as though things are going well (other than the bloating, and mood swings!).
Today I had my first us and bw since starting stims 10/27. Bw looked good, and I had 4 fols on each. RE upped my bravelle from 150 to 300, but menopur stayed at 75. Hopefully this will help with the fol development.
I haven't felt bloated yet...we'll see in a few days. I go back on Friday.
Good luck to all of you going for ET! I am so excited for you all.
Jaimieandduane, how exciting, you've completed ER. Congrats and best wishes for a sucessful ET. It won't be long before you are on your TWW.
M'BA I'm sorry you're not feeling good. I know it's hard to feel like yourself with all the extra hormones. Hope you feel better soon. ((hugs))

To everyone who has ER this week good luck.
To everyone else who is stimming, i know how you are feeling (a ballon), i don't feel to bloated yet like last time but i have a strange sensation in that area so something is happening! I had my cat jump on my stomach this morning which made my eyes cross and i jumped a mile. I am going to see my doc on Friday so looking forward to finding out how many follies i have.
Hello to Meg and welcome. Think of this as a rollercoaster ride, ups and downs very bumpy at times but when you get to the end its worth it

Hi Ellie,
we are on the same schedule. I started my stims on 27th. and going for my first scan on Fri. I had a bw done on Mon but they didn't do us. I can't wait to find out how many follies I got.
I feel bloated because I drink a lot of water other than that I don't feel like my ovaries increased in size but I feel smth there - I guess it's a good sign. Today I got paranoid though: I looked in the mirror in the morning and saw that my stomack is still pretty flat. Now, I'm thinking, are they growing or not????? Can't wait for the scan.
Good luck to you on Fri!!!
