Hey Ladies, thought we could start a new discussion with updates on where we all are. What do you think?
I'm making progress with my FET. Been on Lupron, baby aspirin and estrogen patches. Had an U/S today to check uterus and had estradiol levels...everything is looking good and is so far right on track. I start prometrium, medrol and tetracycline tomorrow. My transfer is set for next Tues, 5/24! I'm so nervous and excited. We will be transferring one embryo.
I just transferred two grade A blasts yesterday (FET). I started my lovenox, just hoping this week flies by! I wish I had your protocol singsweet! I have to take progesterone and estrogen in the form of inter muscular injections!
Hi Ladies! I am scheduled for ER tomorrow morning!! Very excited, I have 4 follicles on right, 9 on left!! Trigger shot (hcg) last night. This is my first IVF, and I am hoping all goes well with fertilization and implantation. Transfer will either be MOnday or Wednesday. I will start Progesterone in oil IM injections, prednisone, and doxycycline tomorrow eve also. Yep, not looking forward to the IM shots in the butt either Kriss10k!! Whatever it takes though!
Lots of luck to everyone. I pray we all get BFP!!!
Hello..I am on day 7 of my 2ww..ER was on the 11th and ET was on the 14th..testing should be on the 28th..
I was on Lupron for almost 3 weeks and stims for 12 days..then triggered on the 9th :)..but felt soo sore..but now is ok,lol..I brought 3 grade A home..hoping they hand in there ..Good luck for all my beautiful ladies here ;)
krriss -- Snuggle in blasts! So exciting. I took progestrone injections with my first IVF cycle...owie! The last shot hurt for a few months. I can't say I love the prometrium, tho...have to take them 3 times a day, vaginally, and I have to lay down for 20 minutes afterwards. If my husband didn't travel so much for work, I would've done the injections...quick and only once a day! :-)
patricem -- Hope everything went well with your ER and the fertilization. Have you got an update on how many fertilized? Do you know how many you would like to transfer?
Dream -- One more week! Glad you're not too sore anymore and hope your embies snuggle in there, too. Good luck to you! :-)
Krriss...I hope you are feeling well and are hanging in there with the IM injections. I know, not so nice! Ouch!
Dream2011..just 1 more week to go! Hang in there! Hope those embies are nuzzeling into that uterus!
Singsweet...ER was yesterday, it went well. 9 eggs retrieved! Just feeling bloated! I am waiting to hear from the embryologist about how many fertilized. I think we will transfer 2 or 3, depending on grade/quality. I am so anxious to hear...it's been a long morning so far! Praying so hard that all or almost all fertilized...positive thinking!! Wish me luck ladies!
Singsweet! they are sooooo messy i know,lol..but i would they are better than the shot ;)
I have 4 more days of twice of those passeries..vaginal ones..
and Kriss, how is everything going with u now/WHEN R U SUPPOSED TO TEST ? :)
PATRICEM!
hope ur bloating goes away fast..mine was just for a couple of days after ER..and great number 9!!u will have excellent ones to transfer and more to freeze ,promise ! :)
am on day 9 of the lovely 2ww,lol..and am still ok no signs of AF or anyting...called doc lastnight and she said i cud do an hpt this Thursday and call her with the results to do the Hormone test..
My beta was very high so they chose not to test again, my RE has me scheduled for my first ultrasound next week on 6/1. Now I caught a horrible cold and when I called my RE's office the nurse said to take Tylenol for fever and to call my primary or my OB to take care of the cold so I managed to get an appt this afternoon with my OB....at which I'm going to beg for an ultrasound or something just to be sure everything is still ok. Yes, I'm still nervous...but I can't help it :)
Praying for lots of BFP's!
Thanks ladies!! The bloating is pretty much gone! Well, 8 out of the 9 fertilized!! Embryologist called me this morning to give me an update on our embies (I feel so attached to them already, in love!! I know, sounds crazy) No fragments, 4 embies are at stage 6, 2 are at stage 4, 1 at stage 3, 1 at stage 2. They will continue to watch, and ET scheduled for Wednesday morning!! I'm really not that knowledgable about the grading..any advise ladies? He said at this point (day 3) they should be stage 6-8. Thank you all for being so supportive, helps sooo much! xo
Dream 2011...wow, 3 more days and you can test!! So exciting!
azduck, best of luck tomorrow! Positive thoughts, and sticky baby dust your way!
krriss...when can you test??
JmeP..so happy for you. I bet you will be able to talk your ob into doing an ultrasound! YEY!
patricem - Wow, that is so great...8 out of 9! Way to go! I understand the attachment feeling, too...I feel the same way! The grading scale has to do with the number cells that have developed so far. After a few days, they should be at 6-8 cells (don't hold me to that 100%, tho, it'd be a great question for your doc). Anyway, all in all that sounds wonderful. Good luckk with your ET Wed morning!
azduck - good luck with your ET today!
JmeP - Hope you feel better soon. It's hard to kick the nerves even when you have a great beta, but hang in there!
Kriss & Dream - Hope you are both doing well this week. Each day you're getting closer to your tests. Good luck, ladies!
I have my ET this afternoon. I'm hoping my lil emby does great through the thaw and the transfer goes great as well. So nervous and excited at the same time.
Jmep - congrats on such a high number!!
Singsweet- good luck today :)
Azduck- good luck with your transfer!
Patricem- did they schedule your transfer yet?
I get all of the updates on my phone, its so hard to log on though! I'm truly apologize if I'm behind or missed anyone. I hope all of your cycles are moving along smoothly with a BFP at the end:)
I get for my beta on Thursday. This will be the first cycle that I'm not doing a hpt. I'm really freaking out about it! They moved my injections to 1cc and 2 suppositories twice a day which I REALLY hate!! But hey you gotta do what you gotta do!!
Lots of luck to everyone. I pray we all get BFP!!!
