@Twinkie0612 What a great surprise! I'm so happy for you. Good luck with your FET.
@SweetieShellieH I had to take doxycycline for 4 days after ER. I agree with PP, I had to take it with food.
Me 27 DH 29 Married since 2007, together since 2001
Off BC since Febuary 2006
3 Clomid Cycles in 2008- symptomatic, US just showed a tilted uterus, otherwise normal, HSG normal. DH has an ejaculatory duct obstruction and a congenital absence of the vas deferens. This is common with cystic fibrosis carriers, but he doesn't have cystic fibrosis. IVF #1 with TESE/ICSI (Antagonist protocol) Aug 2014=BFN (poor embryo quality) IVF #2 ICSI long lupron protocol November 2014
My fert report: 2. 2 cell, growing a little show 6. 4 cell doing well. All 8 are hanging in there. I'll get my call tomorrow for Wednesdays, 5dt time. This is still so surreal to me of how much closer I've ever been from being pregnant.
had ER today. feeling exhausted and crampy. It wasn't as bad as I thought. I was awake throughout and was given muscle relaxants and pains meds. They did have to give me a second injection of pain meds because I cringed when the RE moved from one side to the other. They retrieved 26 eggs, and I also had 11 empty follicles. They've also put me on Cabergoline along with the baby aspirin I'm already on because they are concerned I might get OHSS. So now I have to log my weight, abdominal girth, and liquid intake and urine output.

@SweetieShellieH I'm glad your ER went well. As for the doxy, I wouldn't worry about it too much. My clinic stopped using it for HSG and ER because research doesn't support it.

@SweetieShellieH that's a great number of eggs. I hope that you get a great fert report tomorrow! That's crazy that you were awake, I think that I would be freaking out in the middle of retrieval if I wasn't knocked out.

I was nervous being awake. they told me while I was on the table my blood pressure was up, and I think they gave something for that just before the procedure, and afterwards it was fine. I could see on the ultrasound the follicles being drained. I only watched a couple because all I wanted to do was close my eyes cuz I felt very heavy. Now I'm going to sleep some more. Hopefully I'll feel less crampy in the morning.
