Stab and scan came and went. 11 follicles and 2 cysts. The nurse called and upped my meds so I had to do 2 shots instead of 1 :P

Next stab and scan wednesday.

Assuming stab and scan means blood test and scan? Then my first one since stims is tomorrow morning!! My bloods from this morning apparentlly show I have responded really well to the stims! My oestrogen levels are good so they're doing the scan tomorrow to check things out!! Fingers crossed for good things
Pin cushion, 11 sounds great!

:) 11 follies are awesome Pincushion!

My Lupron was decreased to 5units and now I have two vivelle patches on. Ready for next Monday I will have my one and only Stan and scan haha :) I like the way you up that! If my lining is okay then we are a go for the 24th to have my transfer. The only thig I am not looking forward to is my doctor will not be doing it :( baby dust to everyone!

day 6 of stims. e2 was 217 and I had 6 measurable(10mm+) follicles. Meds stay the same- 2 injections of 4 vials each.

Another date with Juan on Friday.

Day 6 of stims they measured 20 follicles all over 12mm! I'm pretty excited and a bit freaked out as this sounds like loads! Day 8 of stims tonight and another scan tomorrow to suss out a plan of action from there!

Nedico- 20 is great!


Day 8 of stims today. I had 1-15, 2-14, 2-13, 4-12, and 2 less than 12.. plus 2 cysts. Should still have 11 follicles total. Meds stayed the same. Next stab and scan on sunday and then probably daily- monday, tuesday, then hopefully trigger. If i stay on this dose sunday I will need to order more. I am quickly depleting my stock.

I just started feeling my ovaries today so I started on the Smart Water instead of tap for the electrolytes. Hopefully that keeps me from being so very uncomfortable like last cycle.

Thats really good pincushion, I had a bit of a stink emootional day today, as they rang me and said my e2 has risen too sharply, she said it was 17000 which I think on your scale is over 4000 and they are still gonna trigger tonight and ER oon Monday am, but that they will be freezing all the embros and doing an FET in a couple of months, I am gutted!!

I know that seems like a long time but it is best for your embryos and chances. Not too mention you will be in seriously uncomfortable and could be in some pain particularly after retrieval. Praying for you through retrieval and the following weeks.

Day 10 on stims- 1-17, 3-16s, 2-15s, 1-14, 2 13s. Should be 2 more so I guess they are under 13 or hiding. I've only got 3 doses of meds left at my current dose so I am hoping to trigger by wednesday or I will need a smaller dose. I don't want to have to order more because it will be out of pocket. Feeling very tired and a little bloated. Ready to trigger and retrieve.

e2 is 1200 and meds stay the same...

Breakfast date with Juan tomorrow morning. It's starting to get serious.

Ahhh, yes, Nedico, that sucks. I know it won't make you feel better right now, but I had a touch of OHSS and ended up with a chemical pregnancy. Then two months after put in a frozen and got a BFP - maybe my body was feeling a lot less stressed? Hugs to you, sorry for the news. Good luck tomorrow.
Pincushion - My number was low on the ultrasound, but ended up with many mature eggs at retrieval. They definitely could be hiding!

Pincushion- those are awesome numbers for the follies! :) hoping all goes well with your retrieval :)

I go for y lining check in the AM. I can not wait! It means my transfer is getting so close :) I am goin to talk to my doc about work and if I need to take the time off after transfer. I'm a nurse in a hospital and I will have to pull on patients, possibly CPR, pushing my computer around to dispense meds (30-40lbs on wheels). Plus added stress ( comes
W territory of beig a nurse). I just don't know :) whatever will be... Will be :) praying for everyone and sending baby dust!

georgia- you might plan for at least one day off to rest and relax and let those embies settle in to their new home. I was told that the bed rest and light duties was mostly for sanity purposes but I always feel better giving it 24 hours before doing anything too strenuous and nursing most definitely has strenuous moments.

I agree with Pincushion, Georgia, take a day to enjoy the process and relax.
Tomorrow is my first ultrasound! I am mostly excited and partially nervous.

I was told to take some time after transfer to just relax and think happy baby thoughts!

ER today went well, not as bad as I anticipated, athough it was pretty sore, and now the drugs have worn off its definately more tender.

13 eggs retrieved, just waiting til fertilisation report tororrow. :-)
