    Yay!!! @lsgabriel and @Knottie4978096

    Good luck today with ER!!!!
  • I started my stims this past Saturday 3/7 but my blood work today showed no change of estradiol. Nurse is confused and wants me to inject again tonight and go tmrw for sono. I've been a wreak all afternoon :/
    @isgabriel how did ET go??!
    @Knottie4978096 seems like we have close ER days :) what meds are you on? Right now I'm doing bravelle and menopur.. Only felt super nausea on day 1.
    @ExoticAntibiotic how did your FET go? Are you taking off work for the 2WW?
    @lutealphasesucks did you have your ER?

    Thinking positive thoughts for all of us!!!

  • @Isgabriel - Best of luck! Do you have to wait 10 or 12 days before you can test at home?
    @megeng713 - So exciting! I am sending positive thoughts your way!!

    As for me, my ER date has been pushed back a few days because I was not responding to my stims for the first 3 days :( Nurse said it was bc the bcp really put my ovaries to sleep! Friday I will know how far behind I am, and I think I will have my trial xsfer too.

  • @FeliciaandMiguel, thank you! My beta is 12dp3dt (3/23), so if I test at all will do it on 3/22. Regarding BCPs, I didn't respond well at all with that protocol, and my levels never really went anywhere. Hopefully you are vastly different and your levels start to pick up!

  • RE had us go "au natural" this time around to see if we can get my eggs fertilized with just normal intercourse. DH SA was excellent, thankfully! So we'll see what happened. Going in for my Beta on Monday (3/16)... Might test when I get up in the am on Sunday. If I don't get pregnant this month my RE wants to flush my Fallopian tubes. Ayyyeee...

    @lsgabriel - awesome job cooking those three!!!
    @FeliciaandMiguel - hope your ovaries get themselves in gear. Maybe you should give them a pep talk :)

  • I'm so bummed but trying to turn my negative into a positive ... sono today showed I only have 8 follies which would be just fine in a normal situation, but I was planning to egg share (to help alleviate IVF costs), apparently 8 is not enough to split so now I have to either keep all of them (and double my intended IVF budget) or donate all of them. I decided to just keep them for myself, but I am sad that I will not be helping out another couple :( And I also had to do 2 refills already on my meds!! $$$$$$$$$$!!!! IVF is no joke... this is hard emotionally and financially. Anyhoo... ER is now next Monday 3/23/15. @isgabriel that will be when you get to beta test! Good luck!! I'm so excited for you!

  • @isgabriel
    My scheduled ET ended a little disappointing :( first off only 1 embryo survived out of the 3, which is fine because it just takes one and they said it is Grade A and looks great... But my ER said my progesterone level is 1 day too high and so if I did transfer that day, I would most likely have an unsuccessful outcome, so he strongly recommended a FET next month. I was bummed but I understand that it's not bad news, it's just a delay and I just need to be patient. Now I have to wait for AF before they get me back on controlled meds.

    How did Friday's appmt go??! Seems like this is the longest journey ever, huh?

  • ******TICKER WARNING*******

    @FeliciaandMiguel, that sucks, but glad that you have 1 to freeze.  I only had 1 as well, and right now, it's holding on, so hopefully your Grade A frostie will be your take home baby! :D

    I stuck it in another thread, but Friday was a good number, but they wanted to do it again on Sunday.  Sunday was better.  Still waiting for today's numbers.
