Hi,
Just wanted to see if anyone else is looking at an IVF cycle in November. I'm looking at a retrival date around November 10th for my 3rd try.
Hoping to find some cycle buddies for support and to help us getb through the wait.

KTK - Fingers crossed for a great fert report tomorrow. Does your RE do three day or five day transfers?
I am officially PUPO! My three frosties were transferred this afternoon and all went well. My beta is next Friday, November 15th :-)
Laurie congrats on PUPO for your first FET. This one will be different I'm sure.
Ktk 9 is a great number on a first cycle too. I hope you have a great fert report. It would be great to get some frosties for #2 !
Aboveda so glad you get to trigger, I'm crossing my fingers for 4.
Lynn, I hope you get news on your dates soon.
As for me, the count stands at 14. So happy my dreams were wrong. All still on the small side but bloodwork confirmed that was ok. They uped my meds and are happy it will give my lining more time to catch up. I'm trying to stay positive that things will look good on Friday. I devided to take the day off. I figure I deserved a break ; )
KTK yay for ER and 9 eggs!
Roxy 14 is AWESOME!
Triggered last night - probably 5 minutes late. First time with the HCG shot that you have to mix and draw - so tried to get every single last drop. Really tired afterwards, now just chugging along until tomorrow. Have to be there at 7am - will probably be a few minutes late so we can work out the logistics - one car and no help, makes this a bit complicated but doable.
Hoping all goes well for you tomorrow and they get some excellent eggs :-)
Has anyone been able to find a way to get rid of a med induced migraine. I've had it since Saturday and it won't go away.
Thanks
Roxy sorry about the headache. I was never able to do anything about my Lupron ones except go to sleep.
Thanks for the good wishes ladies!
Laurie - how exciting on PUPO ! Let us know how you are feeling! I am happy to hear the beta is not a full 2 weeks!
Aboveda, I am glad the trigger went well. You are so close!!
Roxy, 14 is great and it sounds like your body knows just what to do:) What day of stims are you on now? You should definitely take the day off. I have been working from home and really trying to put my comfort and health first.
Ktk, congrats on 9 eggs! I hope they fertilize for you!!
We went back in this morning and the follicles are still growing. They actually think that one of the big ones they counted yesterday (one that they thought we would lose) was actually comprised of two smaller ones and they said that was better. The true lead stayed the same size and then there were several others that grew. So, we may not lose the lead follicle after all. They want me to do another day of stims (tomorrow will be Day 12) and then come back in the morning. If that looks good, they are thinking I will trigger tomorrow night and have the retrieval on Sunday. I have three 13 mm follicles on the left side and the right side has that one 18 mm and then a few between 11-13mm I believe and then two smaller ones at around 7-8mm. Fingers, toes crossed that they continue to grow tonight! I'm really wanting to make it to retrieval.
By the way, I went to see a traveling tour of relics of the Saints last night. There were over 150 there and I was only drawn to four. Each one of them had something to do with fertility/pregnancy. I'm hoping it boosted some good energy!
Best of luck to all of you!!! I'm looking at a transfer in about two weeks- excited but nervous.
HUGS TO ALL!!! GOOD LUCK EVERYONE!!! YAY!!!
KTK - Saw your status, congratulations on the excellent fertilization.
Roxy - You DO deserve a break! excellent egg count too :-)
Jester - Sounds like things are going well...remember slow and steady wins the race.
As for me, I've spent the day relaxing on the couch. Back to work tomorrow. At least its Friday
I'm not to worried about my follies. I had 14 yesterday so I figure no matter what happens there I should be ok. I still think I'll be on stims for a few more days before I trigger but I'm not to sure.
Laurie make sure to rest up. I say your right poas, might as well do it differently this time.
Jeester things look like they are going good. Stay strong, you are almost there.
Aboveda, can't wait for tomorrow. I'll be thinking of you.
Skuhn, congrats on PUPO.
Courage, let us know how things go.
Ktk congrats on your great report !!! Can't wait for you to be pupo.
Nurse called and I go back on Sunday morning. My lining went from 4, 5 to 6, 7 in two days so I'm happy. Hoping it can keep on growing fast until transfert. Still not sure how many mature eggs we'll get but for now I'm happy there. On a funny note, I had to give myself my first shot this morning in the clinic's bathroom. It was so funny, my back againstthe door so I could set things up. Was forgetting to look cause Iwas so scared, had problem getting an air bubble out. Next time, I'm brigging DH no matter what.
