Calling my fellow Wednesday trigger bumpies :)

HopefulSoul2

ART called and I'm set for trigger tonight at 8:00 PM with a Friday morning retireval.  She said it looks like I have three mature follicles (20, 17 and 14).  Fingers crossed my "golden egg" is one of the 3!

carends

Good luck!  Triggered last night, so not quite on the same schedule as you, but will be thinking of you anyway.  Fx one of those is your lucky one!

RunCC37

AHH!! Exciting!! I'm sure I'm triggering tonight, though I'm still waiting on the call from my nurse with instructions. I am getting antsy waiting for the phone to ring all day. ER should be sometime on Friday.

@RunCC37 - I may be triggering tonight too.  The morning monitoring doctor wasn't sure and was going to leave it up to my RE.  I haven't received a phone call either way yet and it's killing me!  I've been waiting for the phone to ring all day.

I'm a Thursday trigger, good luck! 

RunCC37

@CallaLily30, you're an RMA'er, right?? I'm figuring that I haven't gotten my call yet because they're working out the ER schedule?? I don't know!! Come on, phone! RING!!!

HopefulSoul2

@runcc27 - I was getting buggy and couldn't calm my nerves so I called over to the clinic.  I used the "I'm not sure if I need to drive over to the clinic for more meds for tonight" excuse for calling (since I'm out of Menopur).  She said she was just picking up the phone to call me which made me feel better - I hate to be a pest.  Anyhoo - I didn't exactly get the news I was hoping for, my numbers are worse than last cycle. Boo hoo.  I called a second time and asked what percent usually fertilizes.  I was concerned that they wouldn't think I even had enough to retrieve based on what percent would actually fertilize.  She said between 60-80% usually fertilize and it was completely up to me as to whether or not I wanted to go through with retrieval.  After a quick conference with the RE, she came back to the line and said the RE thinks we should go ahead.  I've already tried the antagonist protocol and even though I had better results last time they still weren't great.  She said "we don't have anymore tricks up our sleeve".  Sooooo - I'm triggering tonight and we will see what happens Friday.  Maybe, just maybe, my little 13 will grow and mature to a 14 by Friday.  Yes - I'm getting my hopes up

@HopefulSoul2, QUALITY over quantity!! Good luck girlie!! It's awesome to have a cycle buddy

HopefulSoul2

@runcc37 - That's right. SCREAM it loud, "QUALITY over quantity"!  Hoping you are on for trigger tonight.  I swear I would be on the floor in tears if it wasn't for you girls!!! Thank you, thank you, thank you!

Fingers crossed for you @carends and @keziah23!

RunCC37

Right on, @HopefulSoul2! I'm praying for some quality for us all!! I don't care if I get only one... just give me ONE!! 

I most certainly should be triggering tonight. I had at least 5 follies in the 18-19mm range this morning, and yesterday's E2 was already 2,277. I know I'm no doctor, but I say it is time! Just waiting on my call.... aaaaaaaaaaaany minute now.......... 

missmarypoppins

Add me to the list! Trigger tonight, 7am Friday retrieval. You girls are right it's all about quality, 5 will be the max we get on Friday, just need them to be strong and healthy. FX for all of you!!

I am an RMA girl but turns out they want me to stim one more day so trigger tomorrow is most likely. Best of luck ladies!

HopefulSoul2

fingers and toes crossed tight for all!  can't wait to hear about everyone's progress.

FishyMom

Good luck ladies!! So many of you in this boat!

HopefulSoul2

I just triggered.  Needle free for the next 36 hours. Woo hoo!

Thank you @ashris13

RunCC37

WOOHOO!!! Go @HopefulSoul2

I'm triggering in exactly 11 minutes... watching the clock like a crazy person!

I have to go in tomorrow morning for b/w and u/s, so I'm not needle-free yet. Crazy!

missmarypoppins

I'm racing home now! Damn traffic is stressing me out

RunCC37

drive carefully, @missmarypoppins!!! 

HopefulSoul2

YAY @runcc37.  Good luck with blood work and u/s tomorrow morning.  Will touch base before the big ER on Friday.

RunCC37

TRIGGERED!!!!!!!!!! Heaven help us!! Here we go!

missmarypoppins

Triggered! 9 minutes late though, I'll have to make my nurse aware.

HopefulSoul2

Woot woot!  We're all 3 in the same boat

RunCC37

@missmarypoppins, I'm sure they can adjust for the 9 minutes, but definitely make your nurse aware ASAP. 

I love having trigger buddies!! So much more fun this way!! Let's hope the three of us doing this together = good luck!!!

Deardra77

Exciting! Congrats on being done with stimming!

carends

@RunCC37, @missmarypoppins, and @HopefulSoul2 good luck with ER tomorrow!  Fingers crossed for lots of mature eggs and a great fert report!

RunCC37

thanks @carends Didn't you have your ER today???

missmarypoppins

Thanks @carends!

RunCC37

Good luck, trigger buddies, with your ERs!!! I'm currently in my very sexy robe & hair net waiting to talk to the doctor and anesthesiologist. Woohoo!!! Let's get those eggs

HopefulSoul2

Driving home. Doc retrieved 4. Hoping they are mature and nice and strong! Looking forward to everyone's updates! Good luck and thanks for the positive vibes and support!

FishyMom

Good luck today girls!!! 

missmarypoppins

That's great news @HopefulSoul2! I'll be praying they're strong and healthy.

Just got home we retrieved 8. 3 we are pretty certain are post mature. So just hoping my other 5 are top of the line.

STBMrsMiller

FX for all of you! @hopefulsoul2 I hope your 4 are great! @missmarypoppins FX for some additional mature eggs!

HopefulSoul2

@missmarypoppins - FX for at least 5 perfect ones.
@stbmrsmiller - thank you, thank you, thank you!

RunCC37

We finally made it home. Anesthesia is not my friend!! Usually, they are able to send you home within an hour, but I was pretty nauseous so it took four hours in recovery. It's all good now though. I'm home resting in my bed with the two best in-home doggie nurses in town We got 9 eggs, and I'm thrilled about that!

Glad to hear things went well for my fellow cycle buds keep us posted with your fert reports!!

HopefulSoul2

@runcc37 - glad you're feeling better. Rest up. Praying for 9 healthy eggs and I'm looking forward to hearing about your fert results.

RunCC37

Keep the updates and the good vibes rolling in, cycle buddies!! When are you supposed to get fert reports? We will only get two - one today and one on Wednesday. IMO, this is the absolute worst part of the entire process. I'm trying to employ the coping strategies given to me by my therapist... lots of breathing!! 

@missmarypoppins - I hope your 5 are thriving!!!

@HopefulSoul2 - I have everything crossed for your 4!!! 

missmarypoppins

Good morning! I hate this waiting. I had the worst nights sleep and have been up since 5. If they wait until afternoon to call I may have pulled out all my hair by then.

Besides the call today, we get one tomorrow letting us know if we're doing a 3 or 5 day. Last cycle I couldn't take it and I called them on day 3 AND 4 just to check in on our little beans.

Everything crossed for @RunCC37 and @HopefulSoul2!!!

HopefulSoul2

I woke this morning bright and early and headed to the Saturday Morning Market.  Beautiful morning with a splash of fresh squeezed orange juice, a delicious breakfast wrap and I came home with two beautiful vining passion flower plants for the back.  I wasn't the least bit anxious and wasn't expecting to hear from the RE until later this afternoon so I was pleasantly surprised when the phone rang 10 minutes ago and ART nurse was calling.  She said all 4 eggs were mature and 3 fertilized!  DH has got some strong swimmers.  I am thrilled with the report   She will call tomorrow to tell me how they look and said we will transfer on Monday morning.  DIVIDE cells, DIVIDE!

Fingers crossed for all of you and I will keep checking in to see what news you have to share!

missmarypoppins

@HopefulSoul2 best news ever!!! Grow embies grow!

missmarypoppins

Just got my call, 4 mature, 3 fertilized. Hopeful, were twins! They said they will decide tomorrow for a 3 or 5 day. Since we only have 3 and are putting 2 back I would think we'd do a 3 day.
