Re: ***September Sweet Pea Check-In*** 9/5
**Signature Warning**
Good luck to you!
Wow, there are so many PUPOs!!! That's so exciting!!!
I am officially stimming! Is it still called stimming when you're taking estrace for FET?
It's going okay so far...not great. Had a crying breakdown at work today of all places, and it wasn't at all fun.
I was so excited to schedule my transfer though...September 20th will be the big day, as long as the ultrasound and blood work on the 15th are okay.
Hoping that the emotions stabilize before then...

MeatandBandP So sorry about your CP. Good for you, getting back on the horse. Take care.
Bears1011 I can completely relate to the indecision and panic when it comes to IVF. It's a big deal and it's not easy. Trust that whatever you choose to do is best for you. I was waiting for almost 4 years before trying it too, and I don't regret it at all (but I know I personally would have regretted it if I hadn't).
scooteriste Congrats on being pupo! Enjoy the ribs!

@Jzyla 27 eggs, that's a lot. FX for good fert report and that you don't get OHSS. My clinic also recommends v8, they say it seems to help more than Gatorade.
On my mobile so its incredibly difficult to mention everyone! Congrats to all the PUPO and GL to those prepping, stimming and scheduled for ER/ET
AFM, had my transfer this morning, I'm PUPO!! Whoop whoop! Transferred 2 beautiful embies. Now the terrible 2ww, but I am grateful to have made it this far. Anyone else transferred today?
QOTD: Def my gran, my mum and I have a very turbulent relationship (she does not even acknowledge our fertility struggles), I do wish my gran were around to support us.
AFM- still on BCP. SHG and baselines on Thursday. Just praying they don't find a reason to cancel!!
FX for everyone, can't wait to see the first sweet pea BFP!
My update! All three eggs were mature and fertilized! Cheers to three embryos. Yay!
@MeatandBandP so sorry about your cp. I had one in early August. It was really awful. I'm glad you get to start again so soon though. Starting again was the only thing that made me feel better. FX we never have to go through that again! I hope this month will be it for both of us.
@siempre595 big congrats for being back in the game. It can really be a roller coaster sometimes.
@emmuffy thinking of you. Best of luck.
Congrats to all the PUPOs and those with great reports! GL to those waiting for reports after ER and getting ready for ET. There is a lot of action right now. I would also like to give a shout out to everyone still prepping and stimming - it takes a lot of patience. Hang in there, you will get there soon!
AFM not much to update since my crazy transfer day. I'm 2dp6dt and trying to stay sane. Monday I have bloodwork to check hormone levels and I will confirm date of beta. Last time it was 9dp5dt, so I'm wondering if we can do it a day early since it was a 6dt. Lots of ups and downs with how I'm feeling about things.
Official diagnosis: Unexplained IF. I am 32. I have low ovarian reserve (low AMH), and poor egg quality. I've also been diagnosed with mild glandular developmental arrest (lining problems, detected with EFT).
We are using open ID donor sperm. IUIs #1-7=BFN. IVF September 2014 antagonist protocol, 8R,5M,3F, 5 day transfer of 1 morula = BFN. IVF#2 planned for January 2015 (antagonist protocol + HGH).
I saw some great ER numbers and fert reports. I am so excited for everyone.
Welcome to the ones that are now joining our group!!!
I want to say that I am mobile all weekend but I'll get everyone updated/added as soon as possible. I can check on everyone with my kindle and reply from my phone. I have a Blackberry and it's not so smart. My friends call it a mildly clever phone.
Unfortunately I don't have good news.. My RE was able to retrieve only 2 eggs from my 8 follicles! I am so disappointed!

So I'm turning 41 next month, and my husband and I got married a year ago. We've been trying for the last year---the past 6 months via ART.
Cycles 1-3 - stims + natural
Cycle 4-5 - IUI
1 month break
Cycle 6 - IVF #1 - current
We're in the middle of IVF #1. I was on Gonal-F (300!), Menopur (2 vials, then they upped it to 3 vials), and ganirellix. I also started taking a synthroid about 6 mos ago because my TSH was a little high for IVF (it's now around 1.0). We did our trigger shot on Wed night---get this---at a Yankee game (against the Red Sox--we had to go)! Yep, I was imagining how I might have to explain the shot wrapped to an ice pack in my bag, next to some sandwiches, before they confiscated the needle and kicked us out. But luckily, that didn't happen. I was able to trigger my ovudrel right at 9pm.
I've also been going to fertility acupuncture.
Friday was my scheduled ER. I had the most follicles I've ever had--9! Out of those, 7 were mature enough to be ICSId. Out of those, 4 didn't fertilize
I always try to stay positive, but I have to say that yesterday was really tough and I had a few crying spells (unusual for me). I know it only takes 1, but being a control freak, waiting until Tuesday to find out if any have continued to grow past Day 1 is beyond agonizing. If at least 1 has grown to blastocyst stage, then Thursday will be my ET.
So, what has been keeping me sane is, "it only takes one". Please keep your fingers and toes crossed for me and my husband, and perhaps some prayers, too!
Thanks for reading!

I got my fert report back this morning. 5/6 eggs were mature and 5/6 fertilized! Now... I am not sure if this is normal or not, but I will not get any updates until Thursday at my 5dt appointment. (My dr only does 5 day transfers and doesn't check them before then (?)) It's going to be a long week!!!
