Can you ladies tell me what to expect? I'm so excited. But I am a little nervous about going under.
Yesterday my estrogen was at 1900. I have 9 follicles in my right and 5 in my left over 11. I have about 6 over 19. Is this good?
Thanks!
Jess

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...
I think most women say it is not so bad. There can be pain after and nausea from the meds, but you will be okay.
I pray they get a lot of great follicles!
In regards to your numbers, the amount of follicles is good but my RE wanted mine to be 22 before he did the ER. Every RE might have different opinons on the size.
Good luck!
I don't have any experience with IVF, but I'm sending you all the luck and baby dust I can get my hands on.
Take care of yourself and we're thinking of you.
What to expect? I think there are slight differences in the details, but basically they take you in, you don the gown, you get your IV breakie (sugar water), they wheel you in the procedure room, give you a little "cocktail" in your IV and the next thing you know you wake up after it's all done with your partner standing next to you.
A 1/2 hour or so later they came in to tell us how many eggs they got. They make sure you can get up to pee, and then you can go home! I took the rest of the day off, but felt pretty good the day after. I would make sure to eat fiber (prunes, prune juice or whatever works for you) as I was miserably constipated for the following 2 days. (Sorry tmi)
GOOD LUCK!!
