Loopie – 16 eggs, that’s a lot! Good job! Did the tell you how many fertilized or just tomorrow? How are you feeling? ET on Tuesday? I swear by the heating pad (I know I sound like a parrot!) for the day after effect of PIO!
21bat – good luck with the trigger and fingers crossed for mature eggs! Your ER is on Tuesday with Mia? Don’t be scared of the PIO shots, they sting a little but really it is not that bad, I had trouble with the day after but since using my heating pad, that hasn’t been so bad either. With my unused meds I going to keep them until I know I don’t need my second IVF cycle since we don’t have any frosties. Then I probably will give it to the clinic for another patient. I did patches and vaginal gel the day after ET.
Amy – continue hanging in there, hopefully that’s your miracle embie!
Rin – 6 mature eggs, that’s great, my RE said he expects only to get 50% eggs out of number of follies and anything higher is great, good job! Just make sure you never rise your body temp with the heating pad after ET, before it should be fine.
Mia – Good luck with trigger tonight – go follies! The nurse will give you a PIO on the day of ER, than I started patches the day after ET, and the progesterone gel, continued on medrol, baby aspirin and prenatal. Sorry you are crampy!
Tammy- are you swollen and tender or just crampy? 1:30 woo-hoo let us know how many beautiful embies you put back in! Sticky vibes!
Weezie – crazy socks – what a cute idea! Good luck with trigger shot, then do you get a day off from needles? That was the best!
Suga- sorry you don’t feel well. Am also having weird feelings like my uterus is moving around and getting harder. I am having tons of emotional ups and downs too so I guess it is all the meds, my tummy is sticking out, if anyone saw me they would say I am 4 months pregnant is so out there (I usually have a semi-flat tummy)! Hopefully we are both having BFP symptoms! I am not tender like I was, but my tummy is hard. I just had an outburst of tears and then fell asleep so I feel better now.
Marin – I was on the meds for 9 days and on the 10th day after u/s he triggered me one day early. It really depends on your doses and what the RE sees in the u/s. The meds really do play with your mind, try to be good to yourself and take it easy, no more exercising, and yes, I was never so aware of my ovaries!!!
21bat (again!)- My RE said 50% number of eggs is what he expects from follies. I had 10 follies, 7 eggs, 4 were mature enough for ICSI and 4 embies. I am doing PIO at 10 pm. I hope you get lots of mature eggs!
I am trying to not POAS! but it is hard, I was thinking of doing it on Friday to be prepared bt then again I know HPT doesn't pick up Hcg as well as a blood test... oh what to do, I don't think I can wait until until Saturday to find out! (over 4 yrs ago I had an early m/c and the HPT was negative for a while even though I was pregnant) so I don't trust those too much... I feel better now after my emotional outburst!

Again, ifyou know your test date, post it on the other LIST post or add to your siggie so I can try to have a current test date for all of us
