D....I am sorry to hear about your knee being so messed up. OUCH, is all I can say. I so hope they can do something for you and the MRI will tell them something. Keep us posted when you can.

CC..... 5 follies, how wonderful. I believe Lori is correct in that every day they grow 2mm on average. Are they going to check you before trigger? My RE does not release eggs until at least 18mm. I think mainly because I usually only produce 1 good follie. You are going to really need to have good luck to get all 5 to fertilize so tell dh it is okay, the odds of 5 kids is slim. I am going to go give myself my injection right now. Needed to wait for it to be room temperature. #1 and 5 more to go until RE visit. check back later

I did separate posts because I thought one big one would be too long. Hope no one minds. shot #1 done. Everything went fine. check back later....

Hey ladies. Lori, nice to see that you are taking it slow and feeling out the situation. It's a huge decision but I feel confident in whatever you decide. CC-that is fabulous news about the follies. I have never had my follies checked. Would have been interesting to see what the clomid produced. D-that sucks about the knee thing. My sister broke a bone in her foot about 8 weeks ago and it has not healed at all, so Friday they are doing surgery. Last year she had a disc replaced in her back. Sad thing is she is only 25 and has always been healthy and strong. I can relate to your pain. I hope it heals fast. Have to return my movie to Blockbuster before they charge me. Be back later. Hugs....

Thanks for all the well wishes about my little follicles! You all read my mind about them checking me again before I trigger, but since I am triggering tomorrow morning, they arent, but is it common protocol to scan again right before IUI ? I didnt ask, and didnt think about it until this afternoon. I dont know if they will, but I will ask when I am there. I hope they do, but I have a feeling they wont. I dont even know if they usually do, Lynn, what happened last time after you triggered? Lori I am on cd 9. Since I just got scanned today, should they be scanning me again tomorrow morning before I do the trigger? Oh-now I am worried again. I go from happy to neurotic in 2.2 seconds with this crap. d, I agree, test before the MRI if you think there is a chance. Better safe then sorry, and I hope your mri tomorrow goes well w/ good results. Keep us posted on how you are doing. Lori, what is this little boys name? I hope your placement meeting goes well. Lynn says a lot of what I think, and I did want to say again, what you are doing is special, and takes special people and its such a neat thing that you do. I really mean that. Lynn, I think the 1st shot is the hardest..at least for me it was anyway. I really hope you have a lot of success with these shots. Tracy, what time is your appointment tomorrow? I'll be thinking of you, d, and Lori all day. (What an eventful week we are all having!)

CC, Last time I did IUI, I had 2 u/s before trigger. I had one on cd 7 and cd 11. I triggered on cd 12 and did IUI (only 1) on cd 14. I did trigger at 10:00pm and had IUI, 36 hours later (which is what they say happens with a trigger and ovulation). Okay girl, you are going to have to trust the RE on this one. You are paying good money. Sometimes we have to learn from trial and error....but stay positive. Trust in them. Tracy, what time is your appointment? later girls

 

CC - April 12

Lynn, thanks and you are right. I have to trust and learn. Since I just had the u/s today it makes sense they want me to trigger tomorrow, but now I am wondering why I am triggering @ 9:00 am tomorrow and then getting the IUI @ 9:15 the follow day (then another IUI on Friday)..One is 24 hours after the trigger the other is 48 hours after. I have just spent the last half hour researching on the web. My brain is fuzzy and I need to stop, this is what I did when I freaked out over the weekend. If most of my follicles are only @ 13 (she said she likes them to be at 16) then isnt it too soon to do the IUI on Thur morning, or I am wondering if the Menopur makes them grow at a little fast rate. Shit, I dont know. I am driving myself insane. Im not looking for answers, just venting and freaking out!

 

Lynn - April 12

CC.....okay, gosh at this point sometimes it would be easier to pick up a phone...lol....Your RE believes in 2 IUI's. They are doing one at 24 hours and another at 48 hours. basically what they are making sure is when the egg releases, there is sperm waiting for it. I believe sperm can wait for 72 hours (maybe shorter) and then dies. She is just trying to cover all bases. My RE on the other hand will only do one IUI and times it 36 hours are trigger. Am I making sense? For now, stop googling....I know it is hard but you are going to drive your self CRAZY girl. I hope this helps.

 

CC - April 12

Lynn-I LOVE YOU! Your post made me laugh and thats what I needed. I am driving myself mad. Its like a weird force, I cant leave this computer and want to suck up all the info I can. I must get the freak out now, so I am calm when the time comes. I think I have lost my mind. Good Lord. Its not in my hands so I am going to let gooooooooo!!! Thank you! Crap, we need a new thread now, I have mucked this one up my junk. Please ignore!

 

LoriB43 - April 12

CC - you crack me up. I know how you feel. I spazz over it all too. You will be fine with the IUIs. Your RE's protocol sounds very much like my REs. If you had follies at 13 today they will be at 15 tomorrow when you trigger and then at 17 - 18 when you should ovulate after the trigger shot. So, you are in good range. Just think, if the medication does make your follies "grow" quicker, it's just a bonus. Lynn, glad to see you are under way with the shots and that it's not that bad for you. Thanks for keepin it real with me about the little boy. CC - his name is John, but if we do proceed, we can change it if we want to. I will be starting clomid tomorrow. My REs office changed my AF start date so, I am only CD2 now. I just love the fact that I have such short AFs!! Here today gone tomorrow!! Tracy - I can't wait to hear how your appointment goes!! Excited for you!!! Heck I am excited for everyone!! It really sounds like there is good possibilities for this thread this time around!! D - I hope all goes well for you tomorrow too! JCR - how are you these days?? EMM - how are you doing? Take Care!!

 

Tracy88 - April 12

Hey you people! My appointment is at 2:00. Wish it were earlier, but hey who cares, it's tomorrow. Cc- you have got to relax girl, you are going to have a heart attack!!! Please check in when you get home tomorrow and I will do the same. Love you all....

 

CC - April 12

Lori, thank you! Your post as well as Lynn's made me feel better. I think I went through a little break down freak out and Im ok now. Back to normal. What everyone said made complete sense. I decided if she doesnt do a u/s before the IUI I will request one to put my mind at ease. Seems like it should be done anyway, it just makes sense. Tracy, Lori, and d, you girls are the news makers tomorrow. I'll be anxiously awaiting all of your news! Lynn-when are you going to see RE again, later this week I guess ? I hope this time you get a lot of follicles. Im tired, going to bed. Until tomorrow!

 

maknyle - April 12

Hey everyone. It is me EMM. I am working right now, so I will have to check back later and read what I have missed. I guess it is about time they made us use our logins!

 

Tracy88 - April 12

Hey ladies. Just woke up. Went to bed past 1:00 then woke up at 4:00 with a migraine. Thank God for ice and Immitrex. Immitrex knocks you on your ass though, so I did not want to wake up......I'm still tired. I can't get out of my mind what an ass I feel like when doctors ask if I smoke, especially these baby doctors. I was not honest with the last doc because it's obvious what I need to do, I don't need some doctor telling me what I already know. So today I have to go in there and I really want to tell the truth, but I don't want him to look at me like I'm an idiot or not want to treat me because of it. What would you guys do???? If you smoked, do you think you'd be honest about it???

 

LoriB43 - April 12

Tracy - I smoke and when my RE asked me I just told him "yes". All he said was "you need to quit". (Like I didn't know that). I did feel quite foolish, but got over it. My friend smoked throughout her pregnancy. Her Dr. said "I don't expect you to quit but cut it down to around 5 a day." Knowing her, I don't believe that she did, but she told them that she smoked only 5 - 10 per day during her pregnancy. Hope that helps in your decision.

 

jcr - April 12

Hi all! CC, Congrats on the follies!! That is awsome. I only had one that was 17 when they told me to take the hcg shot. Tip: ask for the preloaded one, it is much easier. I am keeping my fingers crossed. Lynn, good luck with your injections. Tracy, just be honest-your RE needs to know everything so he can help you. You are not the first nor the last smoker to go through fertility treatment. Hang in there. Sorry about the migraine. I had one everyday for almost 3 weeks with this pregnancy, nasty. There were days that I could barely survive with a migraine, no energy and a toddler. But I seem to be coming out of the 1st trimester haze yeay! My belly is starting to pop out and am feeling some movement I think. Lori, Goodluck with your decision, I wish I had a crystal ball to tell you what the future holds, but you and dh are going to have to spend time with that little guy and make your own choice. There is so much to think about long term and short term. I know my friend has a down girl, high functioning. She says you never know love until you have a special needs child, they love unconditionally. Her big concern is when she gets older and who is going to take care of her child? Just food for thought. You will know what works for you when you spend time with that little guy. D, sorry about the knee-get it taken care of before that belly comes. But murphy's law is you are going to be pg and not be able to get the mri!! I had a tooth I needed dental surgery on and just wanted to wait to make sure I wasn't pg before going thru it when wham bfp. So be prepared!!! Emm, I hope you are doing well. Gotta run toddler on the loose-getting dressed who know what todays style will be. Have a good one and this is the lucky thread-their are going to be 2 bfp's this month my prediction-I aint no Cheri though!! hugs.
