@sadzagirl10‌ - I agree with @blueeyes233. I would go ahead with the retrieval since you have come this far but the do a freeze all and move forward when the time is right.

Marissa6609

@ssoennin - i think this time is easier sadly because I'm not as optimistic as first time around I guess I feel like it's all out of my control so I am just going through the motions so I am not anxiously counting the hours/days, if that makes sense. It also helps that I knew I would not have daily updates, so I was prepared for the wait.

@cparker1 That's amazing. Congrats!

blueeyes233 I am triggering tonight too!! Good luck!

Update: Just went to my 9 day monitoring appt... and they said to trigger tonight! I wasn't expecting it to be this soon, but my ER is on Tuesday at 7:30am. My E2 is 2258. I had 14 good size follicles. It seems like a lot of people have more than that, but they said that they take a very unaggressive approach to stimming so trying to compare myself to others on different treatments is like comparing apples to oranges.

@NariaDreaming‌ I thought something was wrong with me having so much CM! Thanks for reassuring me lol

@blueeyes233‌ so sorry for what you are going through! Many prayers coming your way!

I'm feeling nervous today! The nurse said if everything goes as planned I'll be triggering tomorrow. So far this whole process has been a lot easier than I anticipated. I'm starting to think maybe ER will be the hard part.

@Marissa6609 I hear you... I go back and forth in thinking about all the people I know it worked for and thinking that I will probably be odd man...er, woman out. Trying so hard not to get any hopes up. It is certainly helping to post here!!

carrieharry79 14 is a great number, I would be very happy!!! FX for you!!

I am sorry for this tough time @sadzagirl10 blueeyes233.. you can always freeze all but don't waste the money and efforts that you went though.. 

blueeyes233 good luck on your ER!!! I've read that some ladies managed to avoid OHSS by drinking lots of fluids and gatorade and eating a ton on protein..  

mariana81

@sadzagirl10‌ I am so sorry for what you and your hubby are going through I couldn't imagine. It do think that you guys have gone this far already and your so close to retrieval (triggering tonight) I would continue with your cycle and at least freeze your embryos for when you guys are ready for the transfer. @blueeyes233‌ yay for triggering tonight. @cookiebear and @mrscw good luck tomorrow @PUPO ladies, how are you feeling any symptoms, cramping, etc? When are your Beta's?

crazygirl7882

@cparker1‌ - Whoa! That's a lot of embryos!! Fx that you won't need them for awhile!

@sadzagirl10‌ - I know if I were in your hubby's position I would want to go forward. Hopefully you two can figure out the plan of action together. Prayers to you two that the blockage is nothing major.

Looks like lots of triggering going on! Good luck to everyone with retrievals and transfers coming up.

hey Ladies!
 This week has been crazy busy.  I kept reading up on everyone and forgot to post my own!
Follies are growing nicely, as of monitoring yesterday I had 16 in the running with 2 smaller ones that may or may not catch up.  Monitoring again tomorrow am to decide if we trigger tomorrow or Tuesday. 
QOTD: Semi out of the closet.  Our families know, my best friends know and a handful of coworkers that I am close to know.  We told my parents but if I could do it over again I would not, they are the only ones who have not been helpful or supportive through all this. 

Giants721

Good luck to those triggering tonight or tomorrow!

Discouraged31

Hi all, starting stims tonight! we had a few day delay getting started because of a cyst but got the go ahead tonight. Go back wed for an U/S and hoping to have a retrieval date soon! 

cparker1

@shellbeans82 great follicle count! @carrieharry79‌ thank you! Good luck with your trigger tonight. How exciting. @crazygirl7882‌ thank for the PUPO wishes, I am so thankful we ended up with a good amount of embiest his time to freeze so we have additional chances and hopefully we will have a successful outcome and will be able to donate some if our frosties to others. How are you doing with your TWW? I believe you transferred one day before me. So exciting but the wait is killing me.

mariana81

@Discouraged31‌ glad to hear from you! Finally stimming, that's great! FX!!

@shelbeans82‌ that's an awesome result, congrats!!!

LucyLove657

@marissa6609 Those are great numbers! I will be keeping my fingers crossed for you! 

Sorry so late for an update. I started stims on Saturday. I had family in town and we are in the closet with the family about this IVF just because we want it to be a surprise for everyone if it works. We had a failure this year and it was hard having everyone in our business asking questions. So this weekend was interesting with me hiding the meds and having to secretly get away to take my shots. I do not think anyone suspected anything. We have always told them that we are waiting until the summer to try again. 

crazygirl7882

@cparker1‌ - the tww is killing me! I'm 3dp5dt and this morning I broke down and poas. It was of course negative. Now that I've opened the floodgates I'm sure I'll be poas constantly until beta. I bought a whole bunch of early prediction Internet test strips though so I might as well use them. How's your tww going so far??

cparker1

@crazygirl7882‌ the wait is killing me as well I don't know what to do with myself and it's all I can think about. And of course one of the things my Dr said told me to be careful about was to make sure my dog didn't jump on my stomach and it's happened two times now while I was sleeping. Of course I've been a worried mess over it. Today is officially 2dp5dt for me, I've had some cramping since the transfer but that's about it. As much as I want to test I told myself I wouldn't this cycle because I didn't want to get discouraged with a possible false negative. So I'm trying not to. I guess all we can do is think positive and pray they stick. Have you had any symptoms at all?

@Daashuriaa @blueeyes233 @ssoennin, @marissa6609, @mariana81, @cparker1,@crazygirl7882

Thank you ladies for all of your advice and support. I triggered lastnight and ER is tomorrow at 7:30 am. By the way I don't know what I would do without all of you, being as though we are keeping what we are doing a secret.

ssoennin

@sadzagirl10 Good luck tomorrow!!!! You'll be in my thoughts....

sadzagirl10

Thanks@ssoennin kind of nervous but DH said to me lets finish what we started
