anyone else?

What day of stims are you on?

How's your progress?

Any idea when your ER will be? (Good Luck tomorrow XV11Star & Amandaleigh1!)

Anything you're doing differently this cycle if it's not your first IVF?

AmCheri · October 2011

I'm good! Thanks for the check-in.

Today is day 8 stims. The u/s yesterday showed some progress. I go in again tomorrow morning. Tonight we add ganirelix back in so I'm getting closer to a decision point. Starting today, it's tough to bend over. A bit uncomfortable.

New this time is human growth hormone and acupuncture.

Thinking about everyone daily!

AmCheri · October 2011

XV11star and Amanda, good luck tomorrow! Can't wait for your updates.

Mitzi Bishi · October 2011

What day of stims are you on? 6. If last time was any indication I stimmed for 10 days, but this time it's a higher dose.

How's your progress? looks like I have about 7 follicles going right now.

Any idea when your ER will be? (Good Luck tomorrow XV11Star & Amandaleigh1!) It will likely be Sunday or Monday, although I find out more tomorrow or this weekend. It will be interesting, because if the ET is on a weekend my acupuncturist won't be able to do much and she's conveniently out of town for the coming week.

Anything you're doing differently this cycle if it's not your first IVF? This is IVF-ICSI #2 for me. I've been going to the acupuncturist, stopped taking all asprin and ibuprofen, increased my tea, seeds, and omega 3's and decreased dairy.

Here's to hoping for lots of successes around here!

blueberries8 · October 2011

I am on day 3 of stims today, so not too much going on yet. Tomorrow I will go in for monitoring. I think ER will probably be around Nov 6-7. Last time I stimmed for 12 days. I am doing acu this round, which I did for FETs but not for my last fresh IVF. Good luck, guys!

doggie mama · October 2011

I am on Day 9. I have 13 measurable follies, and I think my ER may be Saturday or Sunday, possibly even Monday, which is my birthday, so maybe that will bring me luck. I feel okay, although when I woke up this morning, my ovaries felt very full. Now, I can still feel them, but i just feel sort of...heavy. Good luck to everybody.

doggie mama · October 2011

Oh and this is my first IVF.

EMNTOM · October 2011

Hello Smile can you add me to the list? Today is my third day of stimming (Menopur + Bravelle). So far so good My first follie check will be on Saturday...

Ruthie04 · October 2011

Thanks for posting this!! I've been wondering about everyone!

What day of stims are you on? As of today, I've done 12 days of stims.

How's your progress? I had my 7th check this morning and I should be triggering tonight! I've got 10 follicles between 16-20mm and a few more hanging out below that. It's gotten pretty uncomfortable in the last two days, so I'm ready to go!

Any idea when your ER will be? Just waiting for my call from the nurse and the surgical scheduler, but it should be on Friday!

Anything you are doing differently this cycle? This is my second attempt, but first time to make it this far. I'm not really doing anything different. Just a new protocol, which seems to be making all the difference!

Thanks! I'm nervous, but very excited!

Good luck to all you stimmers!!

I am going through with ER tomorrow but won't be doing ET this time around... (see other post "semi-cancelled" for that update).

bttrfly0727 · October 2011

Today is day 5 for me. I had an u/s yesterday, which went well. I think there were ~8 measurable follies and my lining is good. (I didn't ask for specifics since I know that I will stress over it even though I have no control.) Tonight I'll be increasing my Menopur dosage. ER could be as early as Sunday, but Monday is more likely. I have another u/s tomorrow so we might get a better idea.

I think it's great that so many of us are going through this at the same time. I'm really pulling for everyone!!!

I'm sorry. That is so frustrating and heartbreaking. I'll be thinking of you tomorrow. Hugs!

I'm thinking of you. I know how difficult that has to be, but hopefully it will increase your chances!

nino770 · October 2011

Thanks for the check in!

What day of stims are you on? I was suppose to start this past weekend but now I guess they want me on BCP for 10days, I will start stimming next tuesday 11/1 if everything looks good.

How's your progress? I've never been on birth control, and today I feel like a total B!tch very moody and get irritated easily..im sooo glad im done with work for today

Any idea when your ER will be? According to my calcualtions, lol, I should have ER of 11/12, I guess we'll see how stimming goes.

Good luck to everyone else who is cycling!!

MrsOjoButtons · October 2011

Today is day 5 of stims for me. My E2 was only 23 on Tuesday, but I jumped to 205 today, so after two days of high dosages, we've now scaled back. More blood work tomorrow, then probably an u/s Friday. This is my first IVF, so I don't have any comparison.

lovemygs · October 2011

What day of stims are you on? Today is day 8

How's your progress? I have 19 measurable follicles (as of this afternoon)

Any idea when your ER will be? (Good Luck tomorrow XV11Star & Amandaleigh1!) It will be Sunday or Monday

Anything you're doing differently this cycle if it's not your first IVF? Not that I can think of

Here's to hoping for lots of successes around here! DITTO

KGF0413 · October 2011

Thanks for posting this. Good to hear an update from everyone!

What day of stims are you on? Tonight I will have finished day 3 of stims

How's your progress? No idea! I have my first monitoring appt since starting stims tomorrow AM. I'm excited to see how it's going. I had some very minor cramps in my left side in the area that I did the Gonal F pen last night starting about an hour after the injection. I guess that's good? LOL

Any idea when your ER will be? The estimated date is next Friday, 11/4. I sure hope!!

Anything you are doing differently this cycle? Well this is my first attempt at IVF and first time taking injectables, so EVERYTHING,

Good luck everyone!!
