Been away for a while... had a lot to catch up on! Great numbers on the ERs this week!! Congrats, and congrats to those getting amazing statuses on their embryos! Too many to name!
AFM - u/s yesterday revealed 13mm uterine lining and growing follicles! Lots of them... didn't get an exact count. Doc decreased dosage of gonal/F again. Hoping this decrease will ensure I don't overstim. I feel great though, which I did NOT expect at the end of my stims. One more u/s and b/w appointment tomorrow, and then based on results, they'll schedule my ER!! Can't believe I'm almost there.
For those of you that had to change your fresh to a FET, when did they inform you of the change? Really praying I'm in the clear.

I did it ya'll. I peed on a stick. And in bummed I did. Got a BFN. : ( today is 10dp3dt. Beta is Wednesday so I figured today would be the same results as the bloodwork. I'm bummed. I'm not giving up hope just yet, but not expecting anything different to come from Wednesday's b/w. Since we only got a few eggs we have none frozen, so in my head I'm already planning the next complete ivf cycle. : \

@babylonghorn16 I think it was day 9 or 10 of stim when they decided to convert my cycle. Do you know your progesterone and estrogen level? That can give you a good idea. I was really desapointed when she told me that, but I think it's gonna be better for the embryos if my body is ready for them!

Hi everyone! Happy Monday! Was away in Colorado for a family wedding this weekend so I've been MIA. Will try to catch up with all the posts tonight (it's a little tricky to do so at work! )
AFM - this week (or possibly early next week) we should be getting my sisters results back, and hopefully the lab can start the genetic probe very soon after that. My RE told me that for this disease, it can take "up to 8 weeks to build;" the genetics lab told me "probably 3, maybe 4 weeks".........so I'm FXing that the lab is right! Just waiting for AF to arrive in early June so I can start the BCPs again.
@kyrgyzstan hold out for beta!! Praying your beta shows different results.
@SanBL nurse said I should know on my trigger day whether I'm on track for fresh. Frustrating. No clue abt my estrogen or progesterone. Hoping for the best. Congrats on great numbers, btw!!
A little frustrated today... follicles need to be 2mm bigger before trigger. Will go in tomorrow to see if they grew. Regardless, this means my transfer will NOT fall on weekend or holiday and husband most likely can't be there. Bummed. Just want this part to be over with.

Has anyone had period like cramps less than a week before FET? I am freaking out a little since I've had trouble with my estrogen levels this cycle. ET is Wednesday and I'm not having anymore monitoring appointments before then.
@babylonghorn16 I'm sorry your follies aren't where they need to be for a weekend retrieval. Hopefully you have someone else who can accompany you. This part will be over soon.
kyrgyzstan I'm sorry about your bfn this morning. Hopefully the beta will tell a different story. I'm rooting for you.
AFM- I lost four pounds of fluid over the weekend in addition to the fluid that was drained. My left ovary is still enlarged, and AF started today. Doc decided we need to push back our FET by a month. I'm honestly so drained from OHSS that I'm not upset about it. I do have a risk of ovarian torsion with an enlarged ovary, so I will be taking it easy.
Ladies- please do not over-stimulate. This experience has been horrible.

@dragonfaerie we were in the westminster/broomfield area for the most part. we did take a little trip up to boulder and did a tour of the celestial seasonings factory - i'm freaking addicted to tea so I loved it. and i LOVE colorado! When I was younger I went a few times for skiing, but never really spent time in Denver or have visited during warmer weather...
@babylonghorn16 I'm sorry that your follies are slow to grow! D'you think it's cause they've decreased your meds in hopes you won't overstimulate? FX that your next appt there will be more progress!
@cmm012 - 4 pounds! sheesh! i hope now that AF arrived, you're starting to feel better? (I think I heard that once AF arrives, the symptoms of OHSS disappear?) And as much as a delay sucks, it's good that you're giving your body time to heal so it can be in perfect condition for transfer later on!
@caseyw8784 This was definitely a good weekend to visit, we finally had good weather!

@caseyw8784 the doctor was THRILLED with my progress, so I think I'm just being impatient. The tentative dates for my ER were 24th - 26th, so I'm right on schedule. I was just hoping for the earliest tentative date. Shouldn't complain... I know they are doing their best to keep me on track for a FT. Just so ready to move past this point! Glad you had fun in CO... I love it there in the summer!
@cmm012 I'm so sorry you are dealing with OHSS. Sounds very painful... glad they were able to relieve you of some discomfort! FX that you bounce back quickly and have a successful FET!!

@caseyw8784 I'm in MA also (Chelmsford). I keep looking at the forecast for this warmer-than-usual summer and keep thinking, "glad I'm not pregnant in that heat!" Ha!! How ironic!!
@kyrgyzshan hahaha! I live in East Boston, but work 30 minutes north of the city...some days - especially early spring and late fall - it'll be about 45 degrees at home, and 75-80 at work...it really sucks with planning my wardrobe!!
@dragonfaerie - Yes! My parents live in Florida for the winter and Rhode Island for the summer. they came back up north a couple weeks ago, and all my mom has been doing is complaining about how she hasn't been able to go to the beach since coming north! haha!
@caseyw8784 we bought our house a year and a half ago. My main priority was central air. I told my husband I was NOT going to be biggo pregnant with window units! : )
Reading everyone's updates again. Hoping for BFPs for those of you with Betas today & tomorrow..
AFM Since Friday my estrogen has gone from 79.2 to 627 so they are lowering my gonal dose. Also they said my left ovary is behind my uterus. I have never heard of anything like that. I have to go back tomorrow for a blood draw and ultrasound. Really hoping my left ovary decides to "show up" tomorrow.

@kyrgyzshan i'm sorry about the BFN - hoping you get a different result on your beta. And a bummer that you will have to go through another full IVF cycle again if this cycle doesn't work. Hoping that's not that case!
@dragonfaerie - what was your blood work for? I thought your beta is not for a few more days? Hope the PIO situation is ok - I would maybe call the doctor/nurse?
@sleepyrn - that sounds crazy with the ovary behind your uterus. I've never heard of anything like that. Is it painful?
@babylonghorn16 - sorry for the delay in your ER, but it will be here before you know it.

@babylonghorn16 I'm sorry that your follies are slow to grow! D'you think it's cause they've decreased your meds in hopes you won't overstimulate? FX that your next appt there will be more progress!
@cmm012 - 4 pounds! sheesh! i hope now that AF arrived, you're starting to feel better? (I think I heard that once AF arrives, the symptoms of OHSS disappear?) And as much as a delay sucks, it's good that you're giving your body time to heal so it can be in perfect condition for transfer later on!

ETA: words are hard.
AFM Since Friday my estrogen has gone from 79.2 to 627 so they are lowering my gonal dose. Also they said my left ovary is behind my uterus. I have never heard of anything like that. I have to go back tomorrow for a blood draw and ultrasound. Really hoping my left ovary decides to "show up" tomorrow.

@dragonfaerie - what was your blood work for? I thought your beta is not for a few more days? Hope the PIO situation is ok - I would maybe call the doctor/nurse?
@sleepyrn - that sounds crazy with the ovary behind your uterus. I've never heard of anything like that. Is it painful?
@babylonghorn16 - sorry for the delay in your ER, but it will be here before you know it.
