AFM - as mentioned, my ER was today. I am doing a Mini IVF cycle which generally produces 2-5 eggs. We got 3. I was a little disappointed, because I was hoping for more, but I am crossing my fingers that they are great quality eggs and they all make it to freeze. I'll get a fert report tomorrow and then a cryo report on Saturday when they do the freeze. So.....I guess I am officially waiting for FET. [:)]

QOTW: I really really liked The Perks of Being a Wallflower. I know it's not new, but I thought is was pretty amazing, and I just saw it a few weeks ago.

monimu13 · August 2013

Had my E2 and U/S done today. RE thinks I'll get 5 or 6 eggs...just hoping they all look good and we have some to freeze.I'm going to shim for 2 more days and go back Wed for another check. Good luck to everyone cycling right now! ((Hugs)) to those who need them!

katekat8721 · August 2013

Good luck girls cycling, and tigger hope AF shows up soon for you!

Nothing much happening here, just waiting for our consult next week so we can get our protocol and go, go, go! Woohoo!

QOTD: I can't think of a really, really good one I last saw... probably Despicable Me 2

Twinkie0612 · August 2013

I had my monitoring appointment and had 9 measurable follicles (14-17mm I think) and 4 smaller follicles ( < 10mm). I am stimming 2 more days and going in Wednesday morning for monitoring. They expect me to trigger either Wednesday or Thursday and my ER will be either Friday or Saturday.

Hi Everyone - My name is Katie and we've been TTC since May 2012. I have PCOS and DH has ever so slightly abnormal morph and mot numbers. This will be our first try with IVF and tomorrow I start my BCP for 10 days. I'll stop my BCP on 8/23, then go in for bw and us on 8/27. I'll start 225IU Follistim Pen + 15 units Low dose HCG on 8/27 and do that for 3 days and go back for another us and bw on 8/30. They'll call me that day and let me know what the next steps will be - at least that's the plan right now. I actually cried about this whole process for the first time today, but I think it was more happy tears that this could finally be the beginning of something that might work for us. I'm surprisingly hopeful about this and have a great feeling! Good thoughts and baby vibes to all going through IVF!!!

QOTW: It's been a LOOOONG time since we went to the movies. But I saw Tallsdega Nights for the first time this past weekend and thought it was pretty funny!

twistsandturnsto2 · August 2013

Hi all. I'm on hold until after my lap scheduled for the 28th. FX it's a quick and easy surgery and they don't find any other surprises in there!! I am just so ready to move on.

QOTW: 42 was pretty good and we just watched a movie called Into The White that was really good!

jschwind22 · August 2013

Good morning! I had monitoring yesterday and have intralipids today. Still on track for transfer on the 21st. Last cycle it was this week when I started bleeding and got cancelled, so I'm holding my breath that I make it to transfer. Have a good day everyone!

mmhopeful · August 2013

Hello! Good luck to everyone cycling right now. I will have my trial transfer the 20th of this month and will then get my schedule of meds etc. AF just showed up late yesterday, but woke up to full flow today. =( Looks like this last cycle on our own didn't work and we are still moving forward with IVF#1. (Was still hoping to avoid all that is to come with IVF #1.)

QOTW: I loved THE INTERNSHIP with Vince Vaughn. VERY funny!

Have fun with the lipids!

@jschwind22 fx everything goes perfectly for you this week!

katib77 · August 2013

Good luck current cyclers! I'm trying to get my RE's IVF clinic (it's not my local clinic I've dealt with these four years) to call me back since Thursday to set up our appointment to get this show on the road. Hoping to start BCP or whatever with next AF which will start around Aug. 26th and cycle mid Sept.

QOTW: We hardly ever see movies. Like ever. Which is weird because as a teen and early 20's I'd see everything that came out. The only movie I've seen recently was "Lincoln".

Tomorrow I start Lupron so that'll be interesting!

QOTW: Honestly...I can't remember the last time I saw a really good movie.

It felt really good just to get things started when I first got in lupron...feels like you are moving forward. The rest goes pretty quickly in my opinion, good luck!!

MrsC430 · August 2013

Hi! Wishing the current cyclers lots of luck!

AFM, I had my post surgery appt last week. I'm healing right up and we're cleared to start our next FET w/ my next AF. So happy to get things moving again! The waiting game is the worst. AF already showed for August, so it's looking like we'll start in early Sept. Almost there!

QOTW: Last weekend I dragged DH to see The Conjouring (I'm a scary movie kinda girl) but I wasn't all that impressed! Can't think of the last really good movie I saw.

@letsgobowlingx - GL with starting lupron. I think it is the easiest of all of the injections I have done.

I agree that I didn't feel like I was really moving forward until I started lupron. It just feels good to finally get to do something.

Hi, my husband and I have been TTC . Unknown infertility. We've done one IUI cycle and are on our 1st IVF cycle. I am on day three of stim medication. Menopur ( which hurts), follistim, synthroid, bromocriptine & one other pill. My husband is taking antibiotics. I tried acupuncture as a way of relaxing- had to switch doctors because the first doctor and I just could not communicate. Felt more anxious and frustrated after seeing her. Trying to staying calm, relaxed and positive as my eggs grow! :-) drinking water... Eating right. Praying we get pregnant at the end of the month... Praying for all of you on the same journey.

Hey @GermanGirl2007 - I'm curious as to why they're doing a FET and not a fresh transfer? Just curious, that's all.

Apparently there have been some recent studies that show that FETs may have slightly higher success rates than fresh transfers. At my clinic, that is definitely true - about 9% higher success rates with frozen transfers over fresh. Also, part of the philosophy behind Mini IVF is to transfer the embryos into the most natural environment possible so they wait until the next cycle when most of the meds are out of your system. We'll see if it works!

Twinkie0612 · August 2013

I had another monitoring appointment today and I am triggering tonight for ER on Friday! It's starting to feel real now. I had 10 follies most of which were around 20mm. RE said to expect 7 or 8 eggs. I am still waiting on my clinic to call with my trigger time and my ER time.
