Robyn i was told nothing over 10lbs i think it was when i was cycling and to keep a low profile while i was cycling so please don't over due it. Your body will feel it and the stress from it. This is your weeks to rest yourself and paper yourself. cmel wow on the lining way to go. I never got past 8 or 9 something with mine linings. Accup doc says he likes it in the double digits so he'd be proud of ya! Lots of follies too so that is great. I'm not good on knowing what US levels are for embies so i cant comment on that at all. Glad things are going so well for you. Dh was looking at the travel pages on the net and asking when i thought i might be able to go away and i said if you see something at a good price we'll skip a month i dont really care at this point. I'd rather a holiday and i said i'm on bcps for 2 more weeks anyways but he cant get away right now but does have 10 days alrady booked off for over the holidays so it would be perfect but then he forgot too about finding place for dog and cat and then he wasnt sure if he wanted to be away xmas day or not so if we go it would probably be from 26th on but by then i should have some idea of what is going on down below as my bcps run out about the 21st so just around xmas or a few days later i'll go in for a cd 3 and see whats happening. If it a cancelled cycle again i think we'll hit the south.

Hey Ladies - well my e2 levels were 1700 yesterday and i had another follie check today - they measured 15 and then i had several under 10 still. I kind of had a break down today just b/c i'm anxious this might not work. They said my levels are much better this cycle ,etc.. but they will probably retrieve around 8 or so but that makes me nervous b/c last time they retrieved 7 and only one made it to the blastocyst stage. I just really want to have 2 to transfer this time. My ER is going to be on Wednesday most likely now so i will be off on wed/thurs. I feel like my follies are slow growers too. Does anyone know what the average # they usually retrieve is for mature follies?? I definitely think my hormones are starting to catch up with me now have been pretty irritable lately and more emotion, ugh!! I just want this so badly and now having negative thoughts - gosh the emotional roller coaster right! I just pray my follies fertilize and i have at least 2 to put in!! Robyn Thursday is fast approaching!! Yeah!! My lining today was around 11.2. Isa i want to go away for a few days too around x-mas time - my beta will be around the 22nd i think so i hope it brings good news! Robyn how is the butt feeling? So dont look forward to starting those again!! Well sorry i had to vent - its just one of those days!

Hey Mel - my clinic on a retreival said an average of follies they want matured is 4 to continue the cycle at retreival and 8 is considered average at retreival anything above that is considered above. average. I had 11 retrieved and mature and they left 11 more inside because my left ovary was high. I so understand your emotions and how you are feeling trust me I now know how you all have felt these past few weeks I cant stand it anymore. My PIO shot last night was the worst one yet I just think I am just so sore that no matter where its going at this point is uncomfortable. Anyway I will check in later. Hope everyone is doing well.

Ok girls I must confess on Friday I took HPT test and it was barely barely barely 2 lines and I know it was from the HCG from the Novarel from Monday the 20th well tonite for the hell of it i tried again its 14 days past HCG injection and the shit came up really dark. I dont know what to think?? Its 12 days past retreival and 9 days past transfer is it too soon and could it be the Novarel still in my system. All the months of taking the HCG injections the most and longest is 14 days that it stays in your system and by then you almost need a microscope to see the 2 lines. Wanted thoughts on this one oh hubby is out buying tests am I overreacting??

 

cmelissa - December 3

Robyn i so hope you are pregnant - how exciting would that be! Your beta is thursday right?? Sounds very promising!! Well i got my e2 levels back for today and they were around 2699. Robyn so i guess im still okay regarding the ER i just get paranoid - you did a day 3 transfer right? My goal is to get 10 mature and i'd be happy so we will see, i go back in tomorrow and then i'm pretty sure the ER will be Wednesday! Alright heading off to dinner - will check in tomorrow!

 

ROBYN - December 3

Hey Mel - well your levels sound great !!when I went to retreival my E2 the day before was 4731. Yes we did a day 3 transfer do you remember what your cells and stages were last month? I know i have said it a million times mine were 8 cell stage 1. You sound like everything is going fine. But hell we all are worriers this stuff takes a complete toll on us.

 

ROBYN - December 4

OK I took another one before I came to work from a different pkg and this one was darker. I will take another one in the morning my hubby said not beleiving anything till we get blood work. I dont want to get too excited I dont want to be let down.

 

esmerelda - December 4

Robyn,
Congratulations , i think u are pregnant, is this your first attempt, and what infertility problems do you have? I know you have an older child.

 

ROBYN - December 4

Esmeralda, not getting too excited dont want to be let down. But this is our 1st IVF attempt we are on a Shared Risk. As for infertility issues the only problem I have is scar tissue around the ovaries. I had a kidney removed when I was a baby I was born with 3 and one wasnt functioning so they removed it. In return it produced alot of scar tissue. When my son was born they did a c-section when they opened my up they saw a tremendous amount of scar tissue so when I started seeing an RE after doing the Clomid and trigger shot the RE felt IVF was our best option because all he had to do was bypass the scar tissue. So maybe he actually did we will see in a few days.

Hi Ladies! Well, Wed is the ER day! I had another u/s on Sun and they decided one more day of stims. Today, this AM went in again and they said I was a "hot tamale" what ever that means. Anyway they gave me the ER info and I am awaiting a call this afternoon with the details. Cmel, it looks as though we will be at the same time almost!

 

JenG - December 4

Hi Ladies, now I am caught up on the posts. Cmel, I heard 8 is the average... so you are okay. I know how you feel sometimes... I move around every corner expecting the bottom to fall out. I think it just happens to us with all that we have gone through. I am axious to hear what your appt reveals today. Robyn, that would be wonderful if you are pregnant. Is there anyway to move the beta up? Mega, how are you fairing? Isa, I am sure that the BCPs will help in the cysts. Its main purpose is the regulate the hormones and "calm" the system down. I really hope it works this time. Linds, Galina, Esmerelda, hope all is well on your end and keep us updated! If I have the ER Wed, when do you think the ET would be... what should I do about taking time off?

 

aish - December 4

can i join u girls ...today i will start my BCP ....i will go for my mock test ...is it painful...

 

JenG - December 4

Hi Aish, I did not do a mock transfer but I think it would be a simular feeling to an IUI as they are just looking to see where to put the embryos when you are ready. Welcome!
