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!

 

aish - December 4

thanx jeng for inviting me...i hope &pray we all will get pregnant

Aish welcome,
I just started my BCP on December 1st, does that mean no period for this month, I see my nurse next week to hear when to start the rest of meds etc. I think we will be doing all our stuff around the same time............Baby dust to you. Hang in there

 

ROBYN - December 4

Hey girls - JEN congrats on the E/R Wednesday you are well on your way. I think the comment that they made was you probably had a lot of follies !!! What time do you do your hcg injection tonite? I am so excited for you and MEL cant wait to hear when she is going in for the E/R. Ok well I took another HPT this morning and it was positive again. The lines matched each other in darkness. So I dont know what to think I am 15 days past the trigger shot, 13 days past the retreival and 10 days past transfer. So I was wondering maybe the HCG left my system earlier than expected and when I was getting the very faint lines late last week maybe it really was the pg test showing positive!! Well I put a call in to the RE hoping they will move up my beta and not make me wait another 3 days. If not then I will continue to test till Thursday. AISH - welcome I had the mock retreival it didnt hurt me at all actually less than a pap smear. It will be similar to the transfer that you will go thru. The transfer didnt hurt either just a tiny tiny bit uncomfortable. Esmeralda you should still get your period after the BCP I got mine like 4 days after stopping them. Regardless of my period or not I went in for a U/S and B/W and then they started me on the stims that night. I dont know if its because I got AF or maybe they would have waited for me to get before putting me on stims who knows. Anyway I will update when the RE calls so we will see. Hi MEGA, ISA, LIFE, HEATHER - how are you feeling and anyone else I missed. CYAS

 

linds99 - December 4

Hi everyone, Robyn, Heather...what's the beta doing? Hi Mega, hope your hanging in there, no AF yet I presume. JenG, thinking about you today and your procedure, hope this goes well and easy. I went in for u/s-labs today, I have about 33 eggs right now, and 19 of them are measurable. The largest ones are at about 14 mm today, so they are thinking probably Friday or Saturday for ER. Gosh, this damb PCOS is crazy...they want to monitor me everyday this week though because there are so many. I hope I don't overstimulate, I'm starting to feel my left ovary and I can't imagine when they reach 20+ mm, that Left one will probably be a boulder.

 

ROBYN - December 4

Linds Holy Crap thats a lot of follies !! The rate your going you probably wont make it till Saturday for the E/R maybe they will do it sooner. Mine wound up being moved up like 5 days because I progessed so well. Anyway I am waiting to hear from the RE if they will let me come in the morning so far they havent called. So I am pissed I am sure they will anyway I will check in later.

 

JenG - December 4

Hi, well ER is set for Wed and I take my HCG shot tonight at 7:30 sharp! :) I feel crappy and I have to pee constantly... ugh. They say it is normal. Anyway, I am getting excited that I get to play the game, so to speak. Linds, that is a lot of follies!! What is your E2? I have been scared about that too as well. Today she said somewhere over 20.. and I said I was a hot tamale! For us who are high responders and scared to death of OHSS, that statement comes with mixed feelings. :) Where are the ladies today?

 

cmelissa - December 4

Hey Ladies - robyn my e2 levels yesterday came back in the 3,000 range and havent heard what they were today yet. Well my follie check this morning went well and she measured 18, i'm hoping i at least have 2 to transfer this cycle!! Because out of the 18 i'm sure not all are mature. I take my trigger shot tonight at 830pm and then my ER is on Wednesday!! Looks like the ET will be on Sunday or Monday depending on how quickly my embies divide!! Robyn i did a day6 transfer and my embie made it to the blastocyst stage wihich is the best. Robyn it really sounds like a BFP this cycle!! YEAH! Jen we both have our ER on wednesday how cool!! how many follies did they measure for you today and what were your e2 levels and lining? are you doing a day 3 or day 5 transfer?? Mega havent heard from you - hope you are doing well! We miss you and check in when you are up to it! Welcome Aish! The mock was fine, not bad! Good luck!!! Linds wow you are right behind me and Jen with the ER this weekend! You have a lot of follies too thats great, what are your e2 levels?? Robyn how many days did you stim for??

 

JenG - December 4

Robyn, I wish they would call you back. I really hope you are pregnant... victory in numbers girls!

 

JenG - December 4

Cmel, I must of just missed your post... that is SO COOL! Think of me when you go under! I have my HCG at 7:30! How funny. They counted somewhere in the 20's but 5 were at the 17.5/18mm size and that's where they stopped counting. You know I didn't even ask about the E2 with all the worry I have had! :) I started to get concerned over my discomfort and peeing that I forgot. One worry takes another right? I am now wondering about the POS. I have to go pick up the POS med tomorrow. Do you guys mix with Peanut Oil or Sesame? I will have to ask the pharm what was called in. Linds, Cmel and I will be going through the dreaded 2ww together.

 

ROBYN - December 4

Hey girls the RE just called I go in tomorrow at 7 am I am so excited and really nervous. I need to read the posts will check right back

 

HeatherP - December 4

Hi ladies! Robyn - only a few more days till your Beta! Don't worry about the cramping. I have had a ton of cramps off and on! That is probably a good sign. Sounds to me like you are definitely preggers! 15 days post trigger should be plenty long enough for the synthetic hcg to leave your system. I haven't heard of it staying in your system past 10 days. I can't wait to hear your beta number! So happy for you! I too was tentative at first but getting more excited about my second beta tomorrow. I hope I can rest easier after hearing my second beta number tomorrow. I have had a tiny bit of spotting that freaked me out but I hear that it is very common after IVF and that it can actually be a good sign. Wish they warned me about this ahead of time. JenG and Cmel - Wow! Thats cool that you both are having ER on the same day! You both sound like you have great follie counts and excellent chances. I'll be praying that you both get lots of mature fertilized eggs!! Well I will check back in tomorrow after I get my beta results and see how everyone is doing. Hope you all have a great night! ( :

 

cmelissa - December 4

Jen thats so neat we are both doing the ER the same day! yeah they counted about 5 or so too that were pretty much mature so thats why we are doing the trigger tonight - do you to it in your belly? I do. What time is your ER? mine is at 730am on Wednesday! I do the progesterone in oil -unsure which type though? I hate doing them though - ouch! I'm glad we are under for the ER - no pain at all! Robyn tomorrow at 7am - yeah so exciting! Post as soon as you get back the results!! Heather good luck on your 2nd beta tomorrow - wishing high #s for you!!

 

ROBYN - December 4

So funny that the both of you are going in Wednesday. Jen sounds like they will be matured and ready for Wednesday. I have a good feeling this month for the both of you I dont know why just feel it. It would be awesome if we were all PG at the same time. We would all be so close in due dates. Well if i am pg I would be due August 15th. I found an IVF pregnancy calculator its cool instead of you last date of period you put in your retreival date. Anyway MEL your levels sound great do you remember last month where you were at this time. You want those good levels thats awesome. Anyway I will be on pins and needles tomorrow I will barely sleep. Come to think about I havent slept more than 4 hours each night for the past 2 days. I hate that. Anyway I will check back in later. Jen my PIO shot is in seasme oil. It already comes in the bottle so you have no mixing just exchanging one needle to another. I am telling you I still get nervous everynight when Jason does them. My left side is really bad right now so tonite I will do the injection in the right side 2 nights in a row. I cant imagine having to do this for the next 12 weeks if I am pg. I refuse to look at the needle that shit scares me. I tell him dont tell your doing it just do it. MEGA where are you I hope youre ok?

 

ROBYN - December 4

Oh Heather we posted at the same time good luck tomorrow with 2nd beta. Funny you mentioned all the cramping I had cramping at work last night.

 

JenG - December 4

Cmel, My ER is technically at 9am but they want me there at 8am Wed. You are doing HCG in the tummy? The RE instructed me in the butt. So many ways.
