  I had my blood work and ultrasound this morning.  I am waiting for the nurse to call me back and I should be starting stims tomorrow.  I am so excited.  Also, I have been dealing with a small cyst that the RE wasn't concerned about, but I was still very happy to hear that it wasn't there this morning!!  The ultrasound tech said "this is the first ultrasound that you haven't had a cyst since you started coming here."

  
  

  QOTD: I am not a big sports fan, but we enjoy camping.  

  I am 37 and DH is 40

  Hey June bugs!! FX for everybody!! Lots of action happening now!
  AFM, I had my ER Wednesday, and got good news yesterday that of 17 retrieved, 15 were mature and 12 fertilized normally, which is much better than IVF #1. My estrogen was high, so depending on how well things are going, we may do a freeze all. I'm feeling great, drinking tons of Gatorade, and I'm less bloated than before I started stims, so hopefully the fact that I'm not symptomatic for OHSS means something! Next fert report will be tomorrow, and if things are going well, we are hoping for transfer Monday.

  @Mozzarella13 that's a great report!

  
  

  I'm back from ER where they retrieved 8 eggs.  It's about what I expected.  They said 6 looked great, one was ok, and the other was immature.  So hopefully we get good news with the fert report tomorrow.  If enough fertilize successfully, we can do FET in July or August.  Otherwise, they'll want me to do another round of ER.

  
  

  I LOVE watching football, but I also follow soccer so I'm in World Cup mode now.  I'm watching in bed all day, although I may have to cave and nap in a few. 

  
  
  Me 33, DH 37 -- TTC since Jan'12 -- Low AMH (0.78) & endo, SA w/ low motility

  AFM I'm 10dp3dt and I am dying to test! Beta Tues... Mon can't come fast enough. I also have this horrible dry cough that is killing me. I called 2 pharmacies and they said not to take anything. Just left message with my DE coordinator to see if there is something I can take.
  
  QOTW: Probably hockey I guess. I can really watch any of them if I had to. Used to be hiking but we haven't done that in a long time! Oh and we bought bikes 2 years ago thinking we would go biking on the weekends...yeah right. Still haven't used them. So sad

  Things are really cooking around here! Looking forward to hearing from everyone. Nothing new for me. ET will be Sunday, after CCS testing. Not sure if we'll get an update before then.
  
  @dreambig1021 - Good luck on Monday!
  
  @ChristieH917 - I hope you get to start stims!!
  
  @Mozarella13 - Congrats on a great ER and fert report! Hope you get good news tomorrow.
  
  @runawaylaurel and @BeckyP005 - FX for you!
  
  @Gsancho - Yay for six good ones! Hope tomorrow you get a great report.
  
  QOTD: We're big backpackers. Haven't been able to do much with all this IF garbage. If this cycle fails, it's the first thing I'll do. We like watching both football and futball, but we don't have a TV, so it doesn't happen much. Normally we'd go to a sports bar during world cup, but I'm not sure how fun that will be if I can't drink!

  AFM, I guess this is 2dp5dt. Nothing too exciting to report. Some cramping and general ute weirdness but that's to be expected. I've been taking it easy and trying to hide my progesterone induced crazy from the world. Looking forward to getting out of the house for a bit this afternoon. I feel so isolated, we had to cancel some active plans with friends for the weekend and now we're stuck going to my in-laws for dinner. DH told his parents that we made it to embryo transfer (which they refer to as "the implantation") and they're already all "congratulations!" because even though we've told them 87,000 times how this process works they can't seem to understand. I've grown tired of correcting people, like my friend who seems to think that they take eggs out and then just put them back in again... So when I get texts that are like "hey, were the eggs good and did they implant?" I just say "Yep! Fingers crossed!
  
  QOTD: Not a sports fan by any stretch of the imagination but I'm a big fan of doing things outdoors. I'd say my favorite thing is to be out paddling on the water. So peaceful.

  Yesterday was my day 4 monitoring; 21 follicles of about the same size and an E2 of 248! Compared to the first round, that is more E2 and less follicles. Really hoping the increased E2 grows more eggs this time around since we're doing PGS and freezing everything.
  
  We love to hike, and my favorite sport is hockey.

  TTC #1 since 2011 · Me (35, PCOS, AMA, abnormal eggs) and DH (47, MFI)
  2012-2013: 3 Clomid cycles, 3 IUIs, all BFNs
  IVF #1 January 2014: 14R/12M/9F 1 transferred, 3 frozen = BFN
  FET #1 March 2014: 1 transferred = BFFN · FET #2 May 2014: 2 transferred = BFFN
  IVF #2 June 2014: 24R/11M/10F 6 PGS tested: 1 normal embryo, 1 with no result

  Hi everyone. I'm 8dp3dt and absolutely obsessed with Googling things like "implantation symptoms". I'm not doing myself any favors, LOL! So far no implantation bleeding and lots of those "it could just be my period coming soon" symptoms. Trying to stay positive! I'll likely break down and POAS tomorrow and Sunday. Beta #1 is Monday!

  I had a follow up yesterday. My lining is still only 6mm. I just started the vaginal estrace that day and my RE said it should help with the growith a lot more than the oral pills. I guess we will see. I have another follow up on Monday to see if my lining is responding. Transfer was planned for next Friday, but there is a good chance it will be pushed back to allow more time for the lining to grow. And then what if it doesn't grow??? 

  
  

  The thickest my lining has been since starting this process is 7.5mm. I had a hysteroscopy and polypectomy back in February and its possible that it has had this effect on my lining (though most people don't have that problem and actually have a "better" lining after). There's no way to know because my RE doesn't know how my lining was prior to the surgery. It's so frustrating. I feel like there is a giant hurdle every single step of the way for me. I'm so scared that I won't be able to do this transfer

  As for me, this has been our best cycle yet based on numbers.  My ER was uneventful and we got 8 eggs.  Of this, 6 fertilized, so we are headed for a blast transfer on Monday!  Keep your fingers crossed for us!

  
  

  My sport is hockey, mostly college hockey.

  2 IUIs = BFN.
  1 IVF (Dec 2013) = BFN.

  @scooteriste - The whole "implant/transfer" thing drives me crazy! I actually corrected a NP at my ObGyn's the last time I was there. WTF do they think the doctors do?? You're a more patient person than I am!
  
  @ExoticAntibiotic - That's a great day four result!!! Good luck!
  
  @KT416 - Hope AF shows soon!
  
  @Hoping4LO - Argh about the office not calling you! As you say, assume all is well unless told otherwise. Sounds like things are going well!
  
  @hopefulsprout & @katib77 - Good luck with testing!
  
  @Justone13 - Yup, I think we all get tired of this garbage! The hormones can really do a number on your mood, so be gentle with yourself. Sounds like things are going well!
  
  @pjpahel - Congrats on your best ER, and good luck with ET!
  
  @BeckyP005 - Hope you feel better soon! Sometimes a cold can be a good sign. ;-)
  
  @Carol7B - did you do the transfer or decide to wait until day five? Fingers crossed for you!
  
  @geordie314 & @ikrystal - Hope the lining continues to grow well!
  
  @vpine - Good luck, and don't worry about getting up to pee. A lot of REs don't recommend bed rest at all, so you're fine. (Hmmmm...now I really want to go make a clicky poll to see how many people got told what!)
  
  Good luck ladies!!!

  Add me to the PUPO list! (Talking to myself, since I'll make the list - LOL!) Transferred a single (on "strong suggestion" of doctor) 5AB blast today--looked CRAZY! Even got to select the sex. ;-) Doc gave me a 65% chance of success. We're still waiting on test results to find out how many we'll have frozen. I have no idea when one is supposed to start testing after a 6day transfer, especially because I think the batch of Wondfos I have are pretty crappy. I have tons of them, so maybe I'll just start peeing on things everyday once I'm home.
  
  A ***bunch*** of other ladies have had their transfers in the past couple of days, or are about to. Exciting times! Come and tell us your news!!!

  @bflorio7‌ -Welcome to the board! It sounds like you're just starting your IVF. You'll probably want to join up with the Summer Sparklers group for ladies whose retrievals and transfers will be in July. I think the first check in will be Tuesday. Being part of these cycle groups is a great way to learn about the IVF process. Feel free to ask questions on the main board, too.
  
  Good luck with your cycle!
