April Snuggle Bunnies Check-In 4/17

@Wolfette139‌ GL! I hope you get good news!

KathrynShustek · April 2014

@Saintelizabeth‌ and @RunCC37‌ I am beta or busy as well. My husband is holding me to it. The hardest part is that I'm having them call my husband so we can be together when I find out. Well we won't be together until 930pm on the 22nd. Ugh that's gonna be the longest day.

That's a good idea to listen to the news together @KatherynShustek. We are planning on doing the same. My nurse usually calls my cell, so I'm going to turn it off until we both get home. We're planning to take a half day from work. If she calls before I get home, then it'll go to voicemail. If not, we'll stare at the phone together until it rings! Good luck to you & @Saintelizabeth!!

@scooteriste‌- so sorry (((hugs)))

Rebecca'sMama · April 2014

@scooteriste‌ I am so, so sorry this happened. I hope you are able to regroup with chromosome testing and have a successful cycle next time. Thinking of you.

My update for today: more bloating and twinges and for good reason. I had 15 follicles on the right ovary. My left ovary is always harder to see and I had a lot of swelling so he wasn't able to measure them all without killing me. I had 6 on that side on Wednesday and he saw at least 4 today that are appropriately sized. Estradiol isn't back yet today but on Wednesday, it was 1500. Lining was above 9, but I don't remember what he said exactly. Last night of stims tonight, trigger tomorrow night, and we are go for ER on Monday morning!

ETA: Today's estradiol is 3290. Triggering with just 5000 IU of hcg instead of 10,000.

I'm slow to update... been crazy busy catching up on work! After the last check in I'm not sure what I had told!... anyway out of our 5 blasts, 3 were normal!! YAY!! So happy that we're getting so much more results this cycle. We even know the sexes of all 3 and we're very excited. Not sharing sexes until we're pregnant though.

Had my baseline u/s on Wednesday and I'm good to start prepping for FET right away! Start meds on Sunday. Now my fingers are crossed for the rest of you!!!

QOTD: One word = Chocolate.

@AlaskaDee23 thinking good thoughts !!!

dp21 · April 2014

These progesterone shots are killing my booty! It literally hurts 24/7, using a heating pad to help! Went to work last night (day after ER) and struggled walking and sitting. Excited to have next three days off and looking forward to ET tomorrow! Hopefully the Easter bunny brings me some sweet babies of my own to cuddle in the future!

heavenseyes55 · April 2014

ER is tuesday... lining is good and 11 eggs will be all mature by tuesday

cls78 · April 2014

So went out today for shopping and lunch thinking I was better and I am still very sore.

Back home I go.

MSoup · April 2014

@scooteriste‌ I am so sorry!!

@cls78 I hope you feel better!

Question - does anyone know what your progesterone and estrogen levels should be during this 2WW period and/or what would cause the levels to fluctuate or decrease even while on supplemental luteal phase support (I have 3 patches every 48 hours and 2 CCs of PIO per day plus crinone gel)? My progesterone was 59 on transfer day and today is 39 - estrogen went down too 800 to 400?

dp21 · April 2014

Transfer day, it is a 4am Eastern time and I can't sleep! I wore myself out yesterday so I wouldn't go crazy today and tomorrow laying around the house, went to Farmer's market, out to lunch and dinner, etc so I fell asleep early. Think between nerves and going to bed early, I'm up!

Has anyone taken vaginal estrace before transfer, do I hold off on dose this morning? I may call them and ask them if they want me to, I am suppose to take it 3 times a day. Just don't want anything interfering with transfer! Don't need blue disintegrated pill getting on my babies! Advice appreciated

cls78 · April 2014

@AlaskaDee23‌ I am sorry. I don't know how accurate the pee stuck is 10 dp, but I really hope you have a better beta. When are you scheduled for one?

LooneyLife · April 2014

@dp21‌ I was told to take mine as usual. They'll do a quick "clean up" up there before inserting the catheter for transfer.

dp21 · April 2014

Hey guys,

Just FYI, doctor said it was fine to take my vaginal estrace pill before transfer, also said I could take it orally. So decided on orally this morning instead!

BeckyP005 · April 2014

@dp21‌ good luck!

BeckyP005 · April 2014

@AlaskaDee23‌ oh man I'm so very sorry. {{Hugs}} I'm hoping beta says otherwise....

dp21 · April 2014

@LooneyLife Thanks for answering my question! So glad they called back, I was about to page the doc from home! @BeckyP005 Thanks for all your support! @AlaskaDee23, sending good vibes your way.

rlk2 · April 2014

Alaskadee23....I'm so sorry and hoping your beta gives you a wonderful surprise.

Saintelizabeth · April 2014

@AlaskaDee23‌ prayers for a good beta on Wednesday!

heavenseyes55 · April 2014

Trigger tonight er is Tuesday !!!!

dp21 · April 2014

Egg transfer complete, it was very uncomfortable, I cursed in front of the docs! 2 embryos placed, one 6 cell and one 8 cell! They said everything looked really good. Now at home, rented three movies

Starting off with Frozen!

zeynsom · April 2014

@dp21 I hope they both stick! I am very happy to hear that you had two good eggs to transfer! I am dreaming for a similar scenario for myself. I am still on stims. Today is the 9th day. They expect at least two more days of stims and possibly the ER on Thursday. You are in my thoughts!

dp21 · April 2014

@zeynsmom you are in my thoughts as well! My one embryo actually developed more before transfer and we had two 8B embryos. They even gave us a picture!! Very neat.

Uhhh I'm hating PIO. Been on them for about 2 weeks. Beta tomorrow to see if I stop them or continue. It hurts to sit or if I bang in to anything. Hang in there. Hopefully it will all be worth it.

@babydreams13 GL on beta tomorrow!!!! Sending good vibes your way

Rebecca'sMama · April 2014

@ltlavac‌ I am super uncomfortable! I triggered last night and ER is tomorrow morning at 6:30! On Friday, my lining was good. My estradiol was 3290. I had 17 follies that were good sized. So they decided we would do Saturday trigger and Monday retrieval instead of Sunday/Tuesday. But now I am freaked that they might have all disappeared, I might have ovulated early, silly worries that are ridiculous. Looking forward to your post-ER update!

Did you have Valium? This makes me nervous! Hoping your envies stick and snuggle in!

Milagros315 · April 2014

FX for you @babydreams13 and @Rebecca'sMama! Good luck tomorrow!

dp21 · April 2014

@Rebecca'sMama I did take valium, I don't think it did anything for me! Also on my practice transfer, they said my bladder wasn't full enough. I wasn't going to mess it up today so I think I overdid it. Between the pressure from my bladder, the speculum, and them pressing on my belly with the ultrasound, I was very uncomfortable. I just tuned out everything and took lots of deep breathes, hubby had his hand on me to comfort me. But it was all worth it!!! Egg retrieval wasn't as bad, I got versed, fentanyl, zofran, cefazolin, and IV fluids for retrieval. There was some uncomfortableness but it is a vague memory, thank god for versed!
