Re: September / October IVF

  • Got the call with my results from this morning. They are going to continue monitoring me every day, the RE said I have one "of those ovaries" whatever that means... I'm running outta veins!

    Good news tho-- follicle count is good, R: 10@10mm and 5@13mm
    L: 6@10mm and 4@13mm.

    Dosing is back up.
    pm meds -- 2 powders of Menopur, 1 ganrilex, 25 Gonal f.
    Am meds -- 100 Gonal f.

    Course they will change all this tomorrow again! Can't wait for my ER!!! Soon now! 8-}

  • @LCK0830 I've been attempting to eat healthier, although I havent been the best about avoiding eating naughty things... I've tried to cut down on caffeine, my RE said a cup of coffee a day isn't bad. From what I've seen online, it looks like you'd have to drink coffee like a fish to start hurting your odds. I also read that there was a diet and IVF study where the women w the best success rates had the diets highest in monounsaturated fats so eat up on avocados and olive oil!

  • Knottie24173360! (Though I completely get being too scared to be excited. I would feel the exact same way)

    3 dp FET here - 7 more days til beta and I am already climbing up the walls!! Luckily next week has a lot of built in distractions (3 concerts and a writer's group meeting) because this vacillating between hope and despair is just too much, amirite ladies?
  • Thanks @caitiemae ! I'm going to the store tomorrow to buy avocados.

    I did my first round of shots tonight! Everything went smoothly. It feels good to have night 1 down and know what I'm getting myself into. I took a shower then iced the injection area (thanks to the person who recommended that!) and barely felt a thing.

    I'm not on monitoring yet! I go Friday for BW/US, then start injections. Ended OCPs and started Estrace pills.
    What cycle day are you? How many days have you been doing injections? I use your cycle as a reference for mine :)

    Me:
    9/11 - last OCP
    9/15 - 1st us/BW started stemming
    9/21 - day 7 of stims
    I'm growing slow so possible 9/25 or later for ER!
  • It's good to see the updates. :) I start 2mg of estrace 3x a day and vivelle dot evert 3 days. Has anyone had side effects with estrogen? My nurse told me that if I get pregnant the pio shots go for 10 weeks or so????? Ouch? Is that normal?
  • @Joyzie77 I started Estrace 2mg 2x a day and I go in to my RE on Friday.
    The only side effect that I am noticing is that my boobs are very sore! Other than that- normal! GL!

    @HBamama2B you're a good ways into it! Exciting! You may be growing slow but you have 23 follies.. So slow and steady is good!

  • @Colleen0516 I like how cautious they're being. I'm really afraid of having the transfer cancelled due to OHSS given my PCOS. So this is great.

    @Joyzie77 hooray! You're officially in the boat in the middle of the typhoon with us! :) (And PIO to 10 weeks is standard.) :)
  • HBamama2B  I have PCOS and I was worried too!!! They actually dropped my trigger to 1/2 at 5,000iu to help prevent it!!! I drowned my self in Gatorade( NO WATER) and ate the saltest foods I could find!!! Other things I did that helped I think is having DH do the heavy stuff and parked my tush on the couch and vegged out to Netflix. Watch your peeing too make sure it stays strong not weak.  


    Gatorade has the highest sodium volume next to Poweraid.

  • Hi girls! I just wanted to check in. I had my first monitoring blood work and ultrasound done this morning after 4 days of stims. Still waiting to hear from the nurse for my game plan going forward, but the ultrasound tech gave me a little info. She said I had lots of follicles (due to my pcos) but no dominant ones yet. She said they definitely grew from my baseline appointment but they are measuring around 9-10mm for most of them with one bigger one around 13mm. Is this normal for 4 days of stims? It's so hard to tell where I am at so to speak and where I should be lol. I know I have a while to go...
  • Hey y'all... I'm not new to this board but I will be doing my first round of IVF in October. Had a failed Cycle in June, took July off to recoup emotionally and physically. I'm praying that this round goes way better than the first one. 

    07/25 - LMP/Started Birth Control
    09/13 - First Lupron Injec/tion
    09/21 - Last BC Pill
    09/24 - Last Lupron Injection
    09/25 - Baseline Ultrasound/Gonal F and Menopur Injections begin
    09/25 - 10/04 - Gonal F and Menopur Injections
    10/05 - 10/09 - Possible ER

    I'm finally starting to have some all day/lingering side effects of the Lupron I guess after being a week into it... the headaches, dizzyness and hot flashes are really kicking in. Last night I couldn't even stay up past 8pm. I had intended on working out, but that didn't happen. I literally have NO energy left by 5pm. I guess I'll just take it in stride and listen to my body...

    Praying for you all!

  • @runmeg91 let us know how it goes! GL!!

    @ShayLatrice the long protocol sounds terrible! Hang in there. Hope you feel better soon as you move past the down regulating part!
  • @HBamama2B Yeah it's been pretty interesting so far... I feel like I'm living in the twilight zone. Just a few more days and I can be done with the suppression phase which will hopefully mean I can actually cook a meal for my husband.

  • FYI- that's 10 inches of follicles folks. I feel like I've got bag of marbles jangling around when I sit. Lol! Anyone else?? :D
  • What is the usual amount of time that you stim for? From what I read it is usually for 8-12 days. Did anyone go much shorter or longer than that?
  • Yay! So exciting @HBamama2B ! Are you doing a 5 day transfer?

    "Great Things are Happening"
  • Hey Everyone!  First time writing in a forum, but I totally need some support and want to encourage others as well!  Hiiiii!!

    TTC since March 2014 and went through a failed fresh IVF in July, but fortunately have 16 great looking frozen blasts!  I have an FET scheduled for Tuesday 9/29 with the beta set for 10/9 (of course a day before my birthday!).  Ideally last Lupron injection tomorrow, will continue with Estace and estrogen patches, and add progesterone tomorrow....

    Happy to chat about the IVF process as it is super fresh in my mind, and I'd love to hear from other FETers!

  • @ShayLatrice  I am on nearly the same schedule, seems like I've been thinking about, obsessing over this IVF forever now and I'm really just getting started.  Hang in there!

    Going for my first U/S tomorrow, can't wait to see what's been going on in my ovaries!
  • jav5y2  I go for my first U/S on Friday... last time I had one rogue folly that turned into a cyst so that is why this cycle has been so long, because they wanted me on BC for 4 weeks before starting Lupron injections. I'll honestly be glad to start stim meds just so I can stop having the headaches, nausea, fatigue and dizziness.

  • Thank you everyone! Yes it's a 5dt we are planning if all goes well. J

    @runmeg91 everything is normal with IVF. :) I'm a 'slow responder' so 10 days of stims/ 12 days schedule. My RE says a schedule stun start to ER is btwn 6-12 days, which means some ladies only stim for four days!

    @athompson0308 woohoo!! Congratulations new mama!! Wonderful news for you and your family! Keep us updated on your betas. So happy for you!!

    And Way to keep this group up on top! I feel like so many of our ladies are #winning this cycle! Go fall IVFers!!

    @mclorn 16 blasts! That's fantastic. GL to you! Only 1 week till your FET!

  • @athompson0308 congratulations!!!! That's so exciting!!!

    @shaylatrice I'm only on Estrace. Hmm?!
    What does the Lupron do? I wonder if I will be taking that later? Or if not at all

    @jay5y2 have you started stimming yet? What medicines have you been on?

    Trying to compare our 3 rounds--- were all on the same schedule but our doctors seem to be using different Medicines to get us to the ER.
