Anyone else doing an IVF cycle in November? This will be my first time and would love to have a buddy. I start Lupron Nov. 3rd. If all goes according to plan, may have egg retrieval Nov. 28(ish) and possible transfer Dec. 3(ish)

I gave my 2 week notice last Friday 13th. Now to join you fine people in a life of leisure and nothing else to do but to look out for myself....is it just me or does that sound pretty boring? My goal was to live to retire and I guess having to take early retirement because of health reasons wasn't exactly the way I had planned things. I just can't stay in that building that is reeking mildew...

I'm trying to exercise daily. I was doing fairly well until I sprained my ankle 2 weeks ago but now I'm getting back on the horse. Today I walked over a mile with my arm weights that are about 22lbs total. I was out of shape and it was hard on my arms. I also did my 30 situps. I'm also going to drink a lot of water and try to eat healthy. I do tend to have a sweet tooth but I'm cutting...
The 2ww is so very hard Rachm. I am still praying you get that BFP!!
Same to you both Debbie and Lioness.
My last little embie left did not make it to freeze :-( so nothing left to freeze. Oh well, one frozen embie would not likely make the thaw.
Rachm - hopefully turkey is a good distraction from 2ww!!
Lioness - you are a trooper with that lupron shot. Can you get some better needles before you use all the sharp ones?? Ouch.
E2 is rising for me. Mon it was 75. Today it was 123. Going in Friday for another E2 and first u/s to count how many follicles have grown!! I hope I have a decent amount and I hope my endometriomas haven't been stimulated and grown too. That would suck.
Anyway - my best to you all, happy turkey day!
i want to ask if anyone has taken lupron and was pushed a few days cause the e2 was still a bit high to start the stimulants? i was supposed to start gonal f yesteryda and now its pushed till next week :(
I am glad your E2 is going up LP66.
I never had that happen to me roro, but this is only my second cycle on it and I have not done baselines yet. Good luck, I hope you can start stims soon.
I was supposed to go tomorrow for baselines so I can start stim meds, but no AF. It is now two days late. The last time I was on Lupron it was one day late. But last month is was a week late on no meds! I hope it gets here soon so I get get moving with the stim meds. Oh well, all in God's time I guess.
LP, good luck with your U/S today. Let us know how it goes.
Roro, I did not have this problem with E2, so I am not sure. Levels were too high after I started stims.
Lioness, any sign of AF?
I'm still waiting, waiting and waiting for that beta test next week. Argh!
roro - don't know about the E2, but hang in there!
lioness - I never even got a visit from AF at all. Well, sort of - I got all the side effects: bloating, cramping, pain, but no flow. Didn't even spot. And my baseline still came out A-OK, thin with a green light to start stims. Our bodies are just WEIRD sometimes. Hope she comes soon or at least your baseline is good to go!
Rachm - what can I say? tick-tock, I wish time would go faster for all our sakes. You getting a BFP will be so wonderful for you of course but for all of us on DS too. It's just so encouraging and gives us all a boost to remain hopeful!!
rachm u can wait with me, u for your test and me to start stims ;)
and lion, did you ask your dr regarding not getting your af? i dont know how it works but i bother my dr constantly.
Holy cow. It more than trippled, but nurse said it was okay. Is that really high?? Or is that what it should be? What's too high???
Thanks Roro, I need someone to help pass the time!
Here's what I do know:
1st E2 (still being suppressed) - 55
2nd E2 (day 3 of stims) - 75
3rd E2 (day 5 of stims) - 123
4th E2 today (day 7 of stims) 384
Oh - I hope I have some more follies, that would make me feel soooooo much better. I'm so excited! Thanks Rachm!!!!
Monday is my next sono and E2 - I wish it was tomorrow!
Still no AF. Thought it might come today, but nothing. My nurse told me last week that they had some women 10 days late for AF b/c of the Lupron. I can not go in for baseline tests until AF comes. *SIGH* I will call if it is not here by Monday.
