Re: New to Board, not to IF. IVF planned Jan./Feb. '16

  • Update! I went in this morning and my left ovary is going nuts!!! At my US on sunday I had 11 follicles under 10 and one at 13 (possible cyst but that wasnt recorded until today) on my left. Today I honestly lost count when they were looking but I know that there were alot that were around 13-14 and the Dr had me take my ganirelix when I got home to stop ovulation. My right side only had one that was 13 the rest under 10. Im interested to see what will be seen tomorrow. Im thinking I may have my ER by next week. 

    @sassysd7  yea I was pretty sore today after she looked around too. Once I took the Ganirelix I felt a lot better.

  • Update: left ovary: 2-15, 16, 17, 18, 19, 20, and 21, right ovary 2-20, 21, 17 the others haven't budged.  We'll see what happens. Looking like trigger will be on Sunday! How long after trigger do we go for retrieval? I work on Monday so I'm trying to see if I'll have to make plans. Also what are some of the saltiest foods you can think of?

  • @sassysd7 me and you are just about neck and neck. I went to the doc this morning to. And my nurse told me the same thing about triggering on possibly on Sunday. And the trigger shot is 48 hours before retrieval. I have another doc appointment tomorrow as well. 
  • @ladylove90 We are! I just got the call and update. I trigger tonight and retrieval will be Sunday! I am so very excited!

  • I'm triggering tonight as well @sassysd7.. Retrieval on Sunday!
  • @sassysd7 why do you want to know about salty foods? I would think fast food or anything processed. Chinese maybe? 

    I go for another ultra sound and BW tomorrow. My doctor upped me to 2 vials of menopur for last night and tonight. We will see what the doctors say tomorrow. I am hoping I get to trigger tomorrow night and retrieval on Monday. Does anyone else feel like a busted can of biscuits? 

    Funny story, I had my first ever male doctor for my last US and my husband was there for it. My husband was not happy. lol. I was not as comfortable as I would be with a female but it wasnt bad. I made fun of him for getting jealous, he made fun of himself too. 
  • @Joyzie77 yay very exciting!

    @foxy8609 it helps to avoid OHSS! Drinks with electrolytes too. It seems I responded too well. The salty foods make me feel worse though ugh. I'm bloated and the scale said I gained 5 lbs smh. I feel busted lol.  I'm nervous about my hubby doing the trigger shot tonight.  Aw your hubby is so cute! That's a story to write down and keep.

  • @sassysd7 If the gatorade doesn't agree with you try Harmless harvest organic coconut water it taste great and is better for you than Gatorade but works the same.You can find it at whole foods or fresh market, not sure what area your in.

  • Update: It was not bad at all.  She took me back and told us about the anesthesia. I signed consent forms, laid down,  got my blood pressure taken,  a little O2, started an IV with lidocaine, hooked up the EKG, and she put me to sleep.  I only knew I was going to sleep because my vision was fading.  Took 30 min tops. They had a heat pack on my tummy. Monitored me for a reaction then I got dressed and went home.  Thought I would faint getting dressed so I sat on the floor lol.  Hubby helped me home and went to get food. Pain kicked in about 45 mins later in mostly my right ovary. Took a Tylenol #3. I have my heating pad on now. It's not bad.  I hate pain in general so I'm a baby lol.  If I could walk it off I would though lol. Instead I'm just laying here. 

    We got 15 eggs! We get a call tomorrow about fertilization. 5 day transfer is set for Friday and beta will be 2/22.

  • Hi, I'm sorry you are going through this journey it sucks. Believe me. Read your post and thought to give you some insight on the hsg. For me it was by far the most emotional and uncomfortable procedure/test I've had done so far. A lot of my experience was due to the fact that my radiologist was a complete ass with zero sympathy for what I'm going through. Just take a Motrin and try to stay relaxed during the procedure. Good luck
  • Hi ladies update!! I did my tigger shot last night. I'm at the doc office now about to get my LH and P4 blood test. Tomorrow is my retrieval @ 3:15. Im so excited and nerves at the same. 
  • Hey ladies! Of my 15 eggs, 11 have fertilized. 5 day transfer still on for Friday with beta 2/22!

    @ladylove90 yay that is so exciting! Don't be nervous you got this.  Hopefully they put you to sleep!

  • @ladylove90 no reason to be nervous! You will do great. They should knock you out for it. 

    @sassysd7 that is so wonderful!!! I'm so excited for you. I didn't realize you were doing fresh transfer. I kind of wish we were doing one but I wanted to do pgd tests. 

    I just got back from my ER and everything looks great. I got 13 eggs!! Can't wait for tomorrow's phone call. 
  • @Foxy8609 yay 13 is fantastic! I'm so excited for Friday. I wish we could do PGD testing but we were out of money.  We're going to take our chances and transfer 2 hopefully. It seems like we are both almost at the end. The hard part is over.

    Hey ladies I had a long and painful day. When I woke up this morning I felt like my ovaries were about to explode. They retrieved 40 eggs OMG. So since I have over 30 eggs I not have to take progesterone in my butt every night :(. On a good note I'm getting DH to do my shots.

    Hey ladies!! I just got my first up date of you my 40, eggs retrieved 22 were mature and 19 fertilized. 

    @Foxy8609 I feel the same way but on top of the bloating my breast are extremely sensitive
  • @ladylove90  omg i feel your pain. my breasts are so sore. I want to cry when I take my bra off. 
  • @ladylove90 yay great numbers!  Now we just need them to grow!

    @foxy8609 I was so bloated but that and the pain are finally going away. I overdid it yesterday when walling in Walmart. My ovaries were aching. Today I feel great!  Slowing but surely feeling better. My nippers are realllyyyy sensitive. Very weird. I had a little cramping and spotting from my progesterone I started yesterday. I have to do them 3x a day. Ugh sucks since it's a little messy.

    @sassysd7 I'm so happy for you. I know your excited. I'm going to do the samething I took off Sunday, Monday and Tuesday depending on how I feel on Wednesday if I will go or not. I can't wait to start shopping for my baby. I'm so hopeful that's it's going to work. I even know what kind of stroller I want already. Smh lol 
  • @ladylove90 I am super excited! I love baby shopping pregnant or not. It is so weird lol. I am very optimistic too. I don't know what I will do if it fails, which it better not! I will start testing Wed. My trigger is almost completely gone and should be gone hopefully tomorrow.
