Hi ladies, I posted the other day about converting from IUI#3 to IVF and it's officially a go. I hope you don't me posting here (I usually do so on GP but don't want to annoy them with the play-by-play lol)?
Today is Day 10 of stimming on Follistim and took my first dose of Ganirelix. My cycle has been a little less conventional because of the quick change to IVF so I've only been at 150 iu for the past 2 days however things are definitely responding! Lining is at 7.4 mm and I have 16 eggs between 10-14mm and now just waiting on my E2.
Anyway, I hope to post here a bit and learn from some of you and your experiences with IVF while offering my support as well.
Just some background, DH and I are both 31, from NY and have 2 cats a bunny. We've been on and off TTC#1 for 2 years now (we've had some breaks) and hoping this cycle is it for us.
