AFM, I found out that my cytokines didn't go down after the Prednisone course, so I'm looking at taking Humira before my FET, assuming that we get normal embryos from this IVF. I'm pretty bummed about the cytokines not going down and have been trying to stay positive and just focus on the stim part of the cycle.
Good morning Acorns! Just got back from ER! They got 14 eggs. Feeling pretty good so far but I don't think the pain meds have worn off yet. Hoping lots of those turn into little snowembies! Should get our fertilization report tomorrow.
