My ET is tomorrow at 11:45!!! Eeeek!!! So stinkin excited I cannot wait to get past today!! If any of you have read my other posts you know that we only have one embryo fertilize but on my day 3 report they found a 2nd one that was just a late fertilizer!! So we have TWO embies waiting on us tomorrow! I of course want both in but DH is scared and said he wants to hear the docs opinion but I know he will say both!! So as of next check in I will be in my 2WW!!!! Wow cannot believe it is here!!
Good luck to all you fireflies that are around beta time!! Praying we get lots of bfp this month!!! And I am so very proud of you that aren't poas! I don't know how strong I will be about that!
QoTD: I would definately relive the night we got engaged. I was in such shock that I feel my response was less that it should have been! I would jump and cry of I could re live it!
I'm really excited for you - please update us with decisions tomorrow! I'm really hoping this is it for you, lovely!

I'm on day 10 of stims. Monitoring this am showed my lead follie at 17 mm, so I go back weds for another appt where I'll probably get the green light to trigger. It's looks like I have at least 7 contenders but a bunch of little ones that might just catch up. lining is 10.4 and triple stripe. Looks like a Fri ER
that is a great number! You may come out with a bunch more so don't worry! So excited for you!

I am officially in the 2WW. Beta will be 7/25. We transferred 2 8-cell embies. My embryologist didn't mention any grade level for them ~ not sure why but I'm worried now that he never said that.
QOTD: It's a tossup between first date with my hubby or our wedding day. Both go by so quickly that I'd love to savor it all up again!
Don't worry about the grading - if they are 8-cell, that's great! Every clinic grades differently, too, so it's not really a reliable comparison point. CONGRATS on being PUPO! I'm excited to hear how your 2ww goes!

Megs, you are doing great. I can't wait to hear how your ER goes - keep us updated on when you trigger. I've been thinking of you and hoping that this is your magic cycle. It's looking good!

Hi Happy Fireflies! I hope that everyone is having a fantastic summer week - I am praying for all of you. I know that some of us need hugs, and others are getting those positive betas...I hope you're all finding peace in your journey no matter what.
So here's what's happening: I'm on CD14 of my natural FET cycle. I had monitoring this morning. No news yet on my e2 or LH, but lining was up to a 7 from 6.5 yesterday, and my follicle is still growing SLOWLY at 15mm. Apparently I'm a late ovulator...who knew? Supposedly I have a couple more days here for my lining to get up to optimal, and for my follicle to get to the right size and e2 to the right level. My levels were 88 yesterday, so they can't be far from 100. I guess the magic numbers are 150 e2, 8mm thickness, and 18mm follie. Then we will trigger.
I've been very worried that my lining's not going to get there. But, on the bright side, the RE keeps talking about "You'll probably be ready on Wednesday for trigger" or "We're probably looking at transfer next Tuesday or Wednesday" so...I'm holding on to those bits of information and thinking that means she thinks I'll get there. I googled a million stories about lining and tried to understand what triple stripe is. I'm just concerned and I want to be at that magic 8mm mark. I did ask here, "So am I at risk for cancellation at all?" She said..."Well, yes, there's always that risk. The magic numbers have to align...but I think you'll get there."
QOTD: I would probably relive my wedding ceremony because it was so special. Another magical moment was this past February when we were in Thailand. It started POURING rain, and it was hot and humid and we were already soaked, so we ran holding hands (movie star style) into the Andaman Sea. The incoming rain had turned the sea this stunning emerald green color. We were with our very best friends, another couple, and we all just stripped down to the swimsuits and ran into the water with the rain pouring down around us. It was amazing!

I've been MIA for the past couple of days. My retrieval was on Friday and it was a total nightmare. I'm glad it was my second one or I would never do it again! My dr had a hard time getting to my left ovary because my bladder was in the way (where the majority are). She put in a catheter and in the process of getting the eggs out or putting the catheter in (I'm still confused how this happened), I got nicked and wound up needing to get a stitch in my bladder. Needless to say, Friday was horrible and I would up being in the hospital for 6 hours in recovery. Luckily, I was able to get the catheter out and go home. The pain was excruciating.
We did get a good fert report though! Of the 9 retrieved, 8 were fertilized.

Great report rrdiva1! You may have posted this elsewhere - but do you mind sharing what protocol you are on and how it is different than before?
Best of luck on Wednesday!!
no not at all do I mind, I switched dr.and he did a lupron. I did antagonist for 3 cycles and 1 fet.
I did bcp for 3 weeks and lupron took week off with just lupron before stims. High follistim like 525 then next day,450 and rotated that for 10 days. Menopur I did every other day. Sher institute feels with woman with diminished reserve they need to not overdue it for quality.oh and dexa pill.

Hi Girls!I've been MIA for the past couple of days. My retrieval was on Friday and it was a total nightmare. I'm glad it was my second one or I would never do it again! My dr had a hard time getting to my left ovary because my bladder was in the way where the majority are.nbsp; She put in a catheter and in the process of getting the eggs out or putting the catheter in I'm still confused how this happened, I got nicked and wound up needing to get a stitch in my bladder.nbsp; Needless to say, Friday was horrible and I would up being in the hospital for 6 hours in recovery. Luckily, I was able to get the catheter out and go home. The pain was excruciating. We did get a good fert report though! Of the 9 retrieved, 8 were fertilized. :nbsp;nbsp;QOTD: I would want to relive our first date!
Omg! I can't believe that happened to you. I hope you are feeling better!

Our donors ultrasound today was great, they saw 30+ eggs in there!!! They will probably be moving up ER to this week and ET to next week. I'm freaking out.
QOTW: either a moment when DH and I were cruising around the CA hills in his convertible listening to our jam and I realized I was in love with him... or... I would go back to the moment when I was a child and my dad told me I could get a pony.

We have decided to skip August and wait until September to try our FET again, so now I'm trying to lose weight before then. It feels like forever but honestly transfer will only be 10 weeks away so its not too bad.

QOTD: Tough question!! Probably when DH and I kissed for the first time. I'd love to feel that again! (And it would help us figure out what really happened - we always disagree on it - he says after he kissed me, I went in for a second...=)
My TTC Journey:
Dx: Hypothalamic amenorrhea / mild PCOS (Pretty much a hormone/ovulatory disorder)

IVF #2 with PGS - Stims started 10/28 with retrieval on 11/11. Of 14 mature eggs, 10 fertilized, 4 made it to Day 5 & 1 made it to Day 6. We did PGS on the Day 5 embryos, and 3 of 4 were normal. Had ET on 11/17. Beta #1 (8dp6dt): 203. Beta #2 (10dp6dt): 618. We since had two ultrasounds & on 12/19, our RE released us to the OB. On 1/02/14, we had our first ultrasound with the OB where we heard the heartbeat. We are so thankful for the blessing & crossing every finger & toe for a healthy & successful pregnancy.
I'm so happy this cycle is working out better for you diva!!

Everyone Welcome!
HAHAHAHA!! That is so funny about your first kiss!! This 2WW is killing me too girl!!!
Hi Happy Fireflies! I hope that everyone is having a fantastic summer week - I am praying for all of you. I know that some of us need hugs, and others are getting those positive betas...I hope you're all finding peace in your journey no matter what.
So here's what's happening: I'm on CD14 of my natural FET cycle. I had monitoring this morning. No news yet on my e2 or LH, but lining was up to a 7 from 6.5 yesterday, and my follicle is still growing SLOWLY at 15mm. Apparently I'm a late ovulator...who knew? Supposedly I have a couple more days here for my lining to get up to optimal, and for my follicle to get to the right size and e2 to the right level. My levels were 88 yesterday, so they can't be far from 100. I guess the magic numbers are 150 e2, 8mm thickness, and 18mm follie. Then we will trigger.
I've been very worried that my lining's not going to get there. But, on the bright side, the RE keeps talking about "You'll probably be ready on Wednesday for trigger" or "We're probably looking at transfer next Tuesday or Wednesday" so...I'm holding on to those bits of information and thinking that means she thinks I'll get there. I googled a million stories about lining and tried to understand what triple stripe is. I'm just concerned and I want to be at that magic 8mm mark. I did ask here, "So am I at risk for cancellation at all?" She said..."Well, yes, there's always that risk. The magic numbers have to align...but I think you'll get there."
QOTD: I would probably relive my wedding ceremony because it was so special. Another magical moment was this past February when we were in Thailand. It started POURING rain, and it was hot and humid and we were already soaked, so we ran holding hands (movie star style) into the Andaman Sea. The incoming rain had turned the sea this stunning emerald green color. We were with our very best friends, another couple, and we all just stripped down to the swimsuits and ran into the water with the rain pouring down around us. It was amazing!

Hi Girls!
I've been MIA for the past couple of days. My retrieval was on Friday and it was a total nightmare. I'm glad it was my second one or I would never do it again! My dr had a hard time getting to my left ovary because my bladder was in the way (where the majority are). She put in a catheter and in the process of getting the eggs out or putting the catheter in (I'm still confused how this happened), I got nicked and wound up needing to get a stitch in my bladder. Needless to say, Friday was horrible and I would up being in the hospital for 6 hours in recovery. Luckily, I was able to get the catheter out and go home. The pain was excruciating.
We did get a good fert report though! Of the 9 retrieved, 8 were fertilized.
QOTD: I would want to relive our first date!
I think you'll get there darling!!!!! Slow and steady girlfriend!
LOL go get some good rest girl!! We'll be thinking about you!!
Good gracious girl!!!! I'm so glad you have a great fert report out of that crazy experience! Hope you are feeling lots better now.
Omigoodness! How did it go, BeeBee? I'm so excited for you. FX!

I did bcp for 3 weeks and lupron took week off with just lupron before stims. High follistim like 525 then next day,450 and rotated that for 10 days. Menopur I did every other day. Sher institute feels with woman with diminished reserve they need to not overdue it for quality.oh and dexa pill.

QOTD: I would go back to our Hawaii vacation last Octoberany moment!
TTC #1 since 2011
Me: 36, anovulatory PCOS; DH: 34, fine
Our donors ultrasound today was great, they saw 30+ eggs in there!!! They will probably be moving up ER to this week and ET to next week. I'm freaking out.
QOTW: either a moment when DH and I were cruising around the CA hills in his convertible listening to our jam and I realized I was in love with him... or... I would go back to the moment when I was a child and my dad told me I could get a pony.
So Happy about your beta!!!!!!!! LOVE IT Congrats
I am now officially in the stimming phase:) I just took my 4th injection of Gonal-F this evening. Not really feeling much from it, so I am interested to go in tomorrow morning to see how many follies are in the process.
QOTD: I would want to go back to relive part of my wedding reception. We had our 6th wedding anniversary yesterday and DH and I were just talking about how much fun we had at our reception. I just wish it was longer:)

Well, hi!!
