    @lubirdie you have a lead follie so they'll probably let that one go so the others can mature. It will be over mature and not usable, but you'd have all the others! You're only on day 7 so that's not bad, you'll just stim longer. I'm on day 15 now and hoping I'll be done by day 18... Good luck!

    @tifga that is normal, sometimes not all follies will grow. It's so annoying! 12 is great though!!

    Thank you... thats what Im hoping for, I appreciate your thoughts. Leggyjeggy, 15 days of stimming? how are your follies today? Whats your count? I wonder if they'll do that for me... I see them on Monday after 10 days of stimming. The sub DR called me this am and didn't even get the right amount of follicles correct, he said he only saw 1-2 and wasn't sure we should continue... then I talked to the nurse and she said "Oh, I must have written those down wrong.... I'll look at them again...just stay on your same dose." 
    Hmmm, Im thought I was paying for competency.

    Sorry about getting pushed out a month @ChristieH917 crossing fingers for you in September.

    We picked out a sperm donor last night.  We have to have the donor to the clinic by Thursday so it was getting down to crunch time.  It was kinda funny.  DH lives in another state so we were talking on the phone, looking at the same profiles, and debating the merits of other men.  We were chuckling about it.

    Hey ladies. Baseline looked good, so moving forward with the natural cycle. They said I should start using my ovulation kit on Thursday and when positive, come in to monitor the egg release. Transfer 5 days after!!!! I'm sooo happy!! However had a bit of a scare beforehand. When they checked my linin on day 3, it was at 17!!! Also my estradiol was at 1,800+?!?? I was freaking out. They couldn't believe it so they reran my blood and told me to come in today to recheck my lining. When they checked again, estradiol was at 53 and lining at 7.3 Everyone was relieved. They still don't understand why it was way off. I'm still bleeding, so hopefully it will be thin enough so that I don't have an overly thick lining for transfer QOTD: i like to be warm, so heat it is

    @tifga 18 sounds promising.  FXed for a good fertilization report tomorrow!

    Me 27 DH 29 Married since 2007, together since 2001
    Off BC since Febuary 2006 3 Clomid Cycles in 2008- symptomatic, US just showed a tilted uterus, otherwise normal, HSG normal.  DH has an ejaculatory duct obstruction and a congenital absence of the vas deferens.  This is common with cystic fibrosis carriers, but he doesn't have cystic fibrosis. IVF #1 with TESE/ICSI (Antagonist protocol) Aug 2014=BFN (poor embryo quality)   IVF #2 ICSI long lupron protocol November 2014

    @tifga‌ 18 is amazing!! How are you feeling post-retrieval? As for me, considering I had only 4 measurable follicles, they somehow managed to get 5 eggs, so that's better than I could have hoped for. Fx for some good fertilization rates tomorrow! I am pretty crampy and bloated though (even with the small number of eggs retrieved) and my stomach is upset too, so I'm not sure if that's from the anesthesia?

    Me: 37 | DH: 41
    TTC Since 2011 DX: Unexplained 
    IUI's #1 - 3 = BFN
    IVF August 2014: FSH 4.1, PRL 15.3, TSH 2.1, W/ AFC 8.
     08/03 ER 5R, 4M, 3F. 08/08 5DT of 1-3AA0, 2 frozen :) bfp @9dp5dt. Beta on 08/20 = 414.
    So excited to have one little bean on the way!!
