Infertility

Cranberries Check In

Good morning ladies and Happy Belated Thanksgiving!  How's everyone feeling?  My ER was yesterday and they were able to get 7 eggs, including one from my left side which we thought was going to be a lost cause.  I should be getting a phone call from the lab in about an hour with our fert report!  I slept most of the day yesterday, which was really nice. I'm still a little crampy today but nothing that a few tylenol won't take care of. I'm a little fatigued but excited to go out and cut down our Christmas tree today.

I gave you life, then you gave me mine.

  • Had another monitoring appointment today, and it looks like 7 of my 10 are maturing together, and 3 haven't grown. With those numbers, we are probably going to put back 2 embryos on a 3dt. If we go to a 5dt, they will only put back one embryo, and we are worried that we won't have much left to work with and want to give this cycle the best odds we can. I go back tomorrow for another look-see, but with the biggest at 16.5 today, we're getting close!  :)

    After 22 cycles and 4 failed IUIs, Serafina joined our family through IVF/ICSI, born 8.28.12
    Our surprise baby, Juliette, is due 12.8.14!

  • Ok, so 2 of you guys are over the "hump" of this ride. Now its wait, wait, wait... lol. I hope you guys are feeling better after your ER's! Praying for some healthy embies. 

    I had my second follie check today and I'm still wayyyy behind schedule. This is my second IVF cycle and both times I ended up on stims way longer than most people. My RE seemed to think that I might be finished with stims on Monday night and triggering on Tues. Fingers crossed!!
