@momof2furkids that's great monitoring is going well! My dr usually isn't concerned about sickness unless it's a fever because your body temp will be elevated. He even let me take cold medicine while stimming. Hope you feel better!
@LoweeeK Thats a strong fertilization report! I hope those 5 continue to grow beautifully. Good luck with transfer tomorrow!!
AFM: I am on Day 8 today and went in for another monitoring appointment. I think the biggest I have is 15 but there are a few that are in that range. So we are thinking I will have about 3 more nights and be triggering on Monday. I will know more tomorrow after another appointment.

@momof2furkids I hope you start to feel better soon! so sorry!! @Joslynj11 good luck!! I hope those follies continue to grow for you!
got my updated report this morning and all 5 have divided to 4 cells, which is great! We still won't know about a 3 day or 5 day transfer until tomorrow morning. If a 3 day, they will call in the morning and we will have to be there about an hour later. I think it just depends on how many continue to develop overnight!! keep going, little ones! happy Friday all!

Day 7 of stims...added Cetrotide tonight. Didn't burn but man it itches!
Yesterday we didn't have any follicles over 1cm but they were growing at about the same rate it seemed. Tomorrow is another monitoring appointment, I hope things can continue for a transfer next week. Tonight we had dinner with friends and I was inquiring about different hospitals in the area. Maybe it's super early to be thinking about that but I'm just trying to be hopeful in this whole process.
And can I ask what in the EWCM hell is going on down there??? Was NOT expecting that!

@Joslynj11@KirstenCas@LoweeeK and @SwtAnana thank you! I finally found the right mix of cold meds However, my IVF was converted to an IUI as only 2 follies continued to grow strongly. First time that has happened and so I am happy about converting! I'm excited for you all with what is progressing. Fx!! @SwtAnana, I chuckled at the EWCM...that a good sign!

Hi everyone! This community board is so awesome! i just want to give everyone hugs. Good luck to all of us!
This is my first time with IVF and things are going super fast. I am on day 6 of stims and doubling my dose of Menopur tonight and adding Cetrotide. I had a day 4 ultrasound and only had 2 follicles on left and 6 on right. They are checking again on Monday...hoping for egg retrieval either Wednesday-Friday.
@SwtAnana, I think your protocol is like a 3 days ahead of mine so thank you for your insight on what to expect!
@junelaguirre Hey there! Oh yeah it sounds like we are nearly on the same protocol! On day 6 I also doubled my Menopur but I added cetrotide on day 7. Today is day 8 for me and I just got back from having bw/ultrasound so we'll see what changes they'll be making. EWCM = egg-white cervical mucus
2 days ago my follies were under 1 cm but many grew to 1.4-1.6 in just two days. At this rate I may be looking at a Monday trigger which would be perfect for my work schedule since I'm off on Wednesday anyway.
Right now the only side effect I'm having from the meds is a constant headache and a slight ache near my right ovary. Trying to remember to drink more water but badly failing at that!

@SwtAnana, glad your appt came back with good news! It is so amazing how fast they grow. I need to get better with the water as well. Last bw/ultrasound they had a tough time sticking me.
I am for sure sleeping. I normally don't sleep as much regularly maybe 5 hours but these meds are helping me get my 7 hours a night. I am yawning all day at work!
Has anyone tried or will be doing accupuncture along with their cycle?
@LoweeeK great progress! Praying for tomorrow @junelaguirre welcome and good luck! @SwtAnana sorry about the headaches! I had them this time with BCP, not fun. Hope they go away soon!

@LoweeeK, good luck on Monday! Will be praying for your transfer!
@Isthisthereallife, did you feel like you needed 2-3 days off after the egg retrieval? I think I only have the day off but may be able to ask for more. Not sure what to expect.
So do these hormones make anyone else super bloated? I feel like my face swelled up last week.
@junelaguirre maybe 10 total. It feels weird going in then you don't really feel it. If you're doing IVF and injecting yourself with 3+ shots a day it's really a walk in the park
Hi all I was over on the November thread since I started my process in November for my 2nd IVF. Had my egg retrieval Dec 7th they got 24 eggs 20 mature and 17 fertilized. Doing a day 5 transfer which is tomorrow. Haven't been given any updates as studies have shown that the embryos thrive better when they aren't disturbed much. The day after my retrieval I was in alot of pain. Went to the doctors and they found a little bit of free fluid by my pelvis. Should have rested the day after the retrieval and not went to work. But now im feeling better just the normal pressure after the retrieval waiting for my ovaries to unplump. Hoping for some good quality embryos tomorrow.
@junelaguirre Yup...mine itches a lot a couple minutes after I'm done injecting but it's not bad going in. Not like that awful menopur. Haven't had a ton of bloating--it's milder than I thought it'd be. Definitely having some lower abd. fullness but my left ovary is hiding behind my uterus so maybe that's why I'm not feeling it as bad?
Ladies I'm running out of spots for these injections! Last night hurt so bad I teared up and I really do have a high pain tolerance. My stomach is just so sore. My biggest follie was measuring 16mm on Saturday (they were measuring around 10-11mm on Thursday) and tomorrow is a follow-up. I'm hoping I get another .5mm jump and can trigger tomorrow night. I don't know how much more of this I'll be able to handle before breaking down

We had 1 perfect blast 4aa quality. 8 of the embryos are still developing so we only transferred the perfect one. The dr said twins would make my already large ovaries worse so recommended just the 1. Tomorrow we find out how many we can freeze. Dr said it was a perfect transfer with no issues or blood on the cath, the embryo glidded in nicely. Now we wait til 12/23...
we also had 2 perfect quality blasts (one had actually already started to hatch), so we transferred just the one! Our other three are still developing and will find out tomorrow how many will be frozen! everything went well and now we wait until 12/23!!! ahh!

Really late to the game here- just found out I'll be doing an ER right before Xmas. Very excite but very nervous as this is my first time. I hadn't even been lurking here because I thought I had no hopes of joining. FET will be sometime mid January I think. Or whenever my next cycle is. My clinic doesn't do fresh transfers.

TTC for 8 years. Started in 2008 with timed intercourse, ovulation testing, no official monitoring. OB-GYN recommended Clomid and timed intercourse, attempted for 6 straight months. First surgery June 2009 (OB-GYN): diagnosed with stage 4 endometriosis and large hydrosalpinx on right tube. Second surgery (July 2009, RE performed this): Right tube had to be removed, lots of adhesions removed. Attempted "trying on our own" as per RE recommendations, unsuccessful 5-6 months. HSG performed December 2009: left tube open. February 2010: started Femara and timed intercourse, attempted 6 months, no BFPs. Took a break for a while. January 2011: started IUI process, ovaries never properly responded to medications, 6 failed attempts, never actually completed an IUI. Took 2012-2014 off due to depression and frustration (side note: did complete grad school to become a nurse practitioner- great distraction). 2015: started seeing RE again, went through tons of testing and HSG, left tube now blocked, only option is IVF. September 2015: Started first official IVF cycle, cancelled in October due to large cyst on left ovary. October 2015: started on birth control for 2 months. December 2015: attempted to start another IVF cycle, cysts on both ovaries on initial ultrasound, left was huge, cancelled to aspirated cyst. January 2016: Cyst back, surgery for ex-lap, cyst and adhesions removed. March 2016: Attempted second IVF cycle, estrogen way too high, cyst back, cancelled again. April 2016: Third attempted IVF cycle, 7 eggs retrieved, 2 mature (but not great) embryos made to fresh transfer, neither implanted. May-Sept 2016: Break to regain sanity. Sept-Oct 2016: Attempted fourth IVF cycle, very successful, cyst still on left but we ignored. 7 mature "great looking" eggs retrieved, 4 mature embryos made it to day 5 transfer. Transfer aborted due to large amount of endometriosis fluid in uterus. FET of 2 embryos completed on 12/12/16. 12/22/16 1st Beta 179 BFP!!! 12/24/16 2nd Beta 449!! EDD 8/30/17 with two girls!!!!!

@KirstenCas SO sorry....my heart is aching for you. Horrible news
@CDC23 Hey all it takes is one...hoping it's a strong one!
No luck for a trigger today. For some reason my bigger follicles didn't grow as much as I'd hoped but my smaller ones are starting to catch up. Still another day or 2 before I can trigger.
Now I'm paranoid that my follies will stall and the cycle will get cancelled All day I was on the verge of tears and I don't know how much of it is just me being tired from work, the freakin' hormones, or having legitimate fears.
I'm sure my job hates me because I've been asking to come in late very frequently to make these appointments (only by 45-60 min in minor areas of the hospital that start later anyway).
Well IVF is inconvenient....I'm trying my best not to disrupt things too much but there's a large part of this that is unpredictable!

@Joslynj11 I had my final monitoring this morning and I had a bunch measuring at 18mm. I JUST gave myself my hcg trigger for a retrieval Thursday morning. I'm so excited! Good luck tomorrow morning :-)
@rainbowwishes5 Yeah can you believe it?? It's so overwhelming at first but you'll get so used to the routine of it all.
I was hoping my RE would push me for one more day of stims just to be extra sure these follies would be mature but I'm reading that they'll continue to grow and mature until retrieval so they will likely be at about 20mm Thursday morning anyway.
So my left ovary likes to nestle up behind my uterus. Today the RE (not my usual RE) pushed on my uterus with the probe INSIDE to see if my ovary was mobile. UMPH that hurt like a mutha! Luckily I'll be under sedation when it happens but geez.
In not so good news... I work with a group that has a contract with the hospital that I currently work with. I received an email that the hospital system is currently eliciting bids for people to provide cheaper services. Soooo I may be out of a job soon. I asked my husband if we should hold off on the FET until I know what's going on with my job and he looked at me like I was crazy His rationale was that it's never going to be a perfect time and to hold off on having kids when we don't even have a definite answer is crazy. I mean he has a point, I'm on his health insurance and I can find temporary (although not ideal) work easily until I find a permanent contract but it still makes me nervous to potentially be jobless

@rainbowwishes5 I remember the day when I got mine. I was in tears I was so overwhelmed. After 3 IUI cycles I felt like I knew what I was doing.

@SwtAnana, I just did my trigger shot of HCG tonight at 1130pm. Doing my egg retrieval Thursday too! I agree with @tiffanyw1783, don't think about your job for at least the next two weeks while you are in this process.
@rainbowwishes5, Yes...I received 2 grocery bags of meds and was super, duper overwhelmed too. I only thought I was picking up two injectables. Just take it a little at a time. Your doctor will tell you what goes at which time...
AFM: Please everyone send me and @Swtanana good jujus and prayers for our egg retrieval on Thursday. I am anxious for good news. I only have 10 follicles...7 on right and 3 on the left....but as my friend said ..I only need one.
Happy hump day! Good luck on your retrievals tomorrow ladies! Sending positive vibes your way

Re: December IVF
@KirstenCas I am sorry this cycle is causing so many symptoms to come up. How are you feeling now? When is your next monitoring?
@momof2furkids How did today's monitoring apt. go?
@LoweeeK Thats a strong fertilization report! I hope those 5 continue to grow beautifully. Good luck with transfer tomorrow!!
AFM: I am on Day 8 today and went in for another monitoring appointment. I think the biggest I have is 15 but there are a few that are in that range. So we are thinking I will have about 3 more nights and be triggering on Monday. I will know more tomorrow after another appointment.

@Joslynj11 good luck!! I hope those follies continue to grow for you!
got my updated report this morning and all 5 have divided to 4 cells, which is great! We still won't know about a 3 day or 5 day transfer until tomorrow morning. If a 3 day, they will call in the morning and we will have to be there about an hour later. I think it just depends on how many continue to develop overnight!! keep going, little ones!

Yesterday we didn't have any follicles over 1cm but they were growing at about the same rate it seemed. Tomorrow is another monitoring appointment, I hope things can continue for a transfer next week. Tonight we had dinner with friends and I was inquiring about different hospitals in the area. Maybe it's super early to be thinking about that but I'm just trying to be hopeful in this whole process.
And can I ask what in the EWCM hell is going on down there??? Was NOT expecting that!

This is my first time with IVF and things are going super fast. I am on day 6 of stims and doubling my dose of Menopur tonight and adding Cetrotide. I had a day 4 ultrasound and only had 2 follicles on left and 6 on right. They are checking again on Monday...hoping for egg retrieval either Wednesday-Friday.
@SwtAnana, I think your protocol is like a 3 days ahead of mine so thank you for your insight on what to expect!
What is EWCM?
@momof2furkids Fingers crossed for your IUI!!!
@junelaguirre Hey there! Oh yeah it sounds like we are nearly on the same protocol! On day 6 I also doubled my Menopur but I added cetrotide on day 7. Today is day 8 for me and I just got back from having bw/ultrasound so we'll see what changes they'll be making. EWCM = egg-white cervical mucus
2 days ago my follies were under 1 cm but many grew to 1.4-1.6 in just two days. At this rate I may be looking at a Monday trigger which would be perfect for my work schedule since I'm off on Wednesday anyway.
Right now the only side effect I'm having from the meds is a constant headache and a slight ache near my right ovary. Trying to remember to drink more water but badly failing at that!

I am for sure sleeping. I normally don't sleep as much regularly maybe 5 hours but these meds are helping me get my 7 hours a night. I am yawning all day at work!
Has anyone tried or will be doing accupuncture along with their cycle?
@junelaguirre welcome and good luck!

@SwtAnana, just did the Cetrotide and it does itch! I just want to scratch it but I feel it will make it to worse.
@momof2furkids, thanks! You too!
@LoweeeK, good luck on Monday! Will be praying for your transfer!
@Isthisthereallife, did you feel like you needed 2-3 days off after the egg retrieval? I think I only have the day off but may be able to ask for more. Not sure what to expect.
So do these hormones make anyone else super bloated? I feel like my face swelled up last week.
@tiffavis12 Good luck tomorrow!!!
Ladies I'm running out of spots for these injections! Last night hurt so bad I teared up and I really do have a high pain tolerance. My stomach is just so sore. My biggest follie was measuring 16mm on Saturday (they were measuring around 10-11mm on Thursday) and tomorrow is a follow-up. I'm hoping I get another .5mm jump and can trigger tomorrow night. I don't know how much more of this I'll be able to handle before breaking down

TTC for 8 years.
Started in 2008 with timed intercourse, ovulation testing, no official monitoring.
OB-GYN recommended Clomid and timed intercourse, attempted for 6 straight months.
First surgery June 2009 (OB-GYN): diagnosed with stage 4 endometriosis and large hydrosalpinx on right tube.
Second surgery (July 2009, RE performed this): Right tube had to be removed, lots of adhesions removed.
Attempted "trying on our own" as per RE recommendations, unsuccessful 5-6 months.
HSG performed December 2009: left tube open.
February 2010: started Femara and timed intercourse, attempted 6 months, no BFPs.
Took a break for a while.
January 2011: started IUI process, ovaries never properly responded to medications, 6 failed attempts, never actually completed an IUI.
Took 2012-2014 off due to depression and frustration (side note: did complete grad school to become a nurse practitioner- great distraction).
2015: started seeing RE again, went through tons of testing and HSG, left tube now blocked, only option is IVF.
September 2015: Started first official IVF cycle, cancelled in October due to large cyst on left ovary.
October 2015: started on birth control for 2 months.
December 2015: attempted to start another IVF cycle, cysts on both ovaries on initial ultrasound, left was huge, cancelled to aspirated cyst.
January 2016: Cyst back, surgery for ex-lap, cyst and adhesions removed.
March 2016: Attempted second IVF cycle, estrogen way too high, cyst back, cancelled again.
April 2016: Third attempted IVF cycle, 7 eggs retrieved, 2 mature (but not great) embryos made to fresh transfer, neither implanted.
May-Sept 2016: Break to regain sanity.
Sept-Oct 2016: Attempted fourth IVF cycle, very successful, cyst still on left but we ignored. 7 mature "great looking" eggs retrieved, 4 mature embryos made it to day 5 transfer. Transfer aborted due to large amount of endometriosis fluid in uterus.
FET of 2 embryos completed on 12/12/16.

@CDC23 Hey all it takes is one...hoping it's a strong one!
No luck for a trigger today. For some reason my bigger follicles didn't grow as much as I'd hoped but my smaller ones are starting to catch up. Still another day or 2 before I can trigger.
Now I'm paranoid that my follies will stall and the cycle will get cancelled
I'm sure my job hates me because I've been asking to come in late very frequently to make these appointments (only by 45-60 min in minor areas of the hospital that start later anyway).
Well IVF is inconvenient....I'm trying my best not to disrupt things too much but there's a large part of this that is unpredictable!

@SwtAnana I hope those follies are finally big enough! Did you have another monitoring apt today?

@LoweeeK congrats on the great news!!!
@rainbowwishes5 Yeah can you believe it?? It's so overwhelming at first but you'll get so used to the routine of it all.
I was hoping my RE would push me for one more day of stims just to be extra sure these follies would be mature but I'm reading that they'll continue to grow and mature until retrieval so they will likely be at about 20mm Thursday morning anyway.
So my left ovary likes to nestle up behind my uterus. Today the RE (not my usual RE) pushed on my uterus with the probe INSIDE to see if my ovary was mobile. UMPH that hurt like a mutha! Luckily I'll be under sedation when it happens but geez.
In not so good news...
I work with a group that has a contract with the hospital that I currently work with. I received an email that the hospital system is currently eliciting bids for people to provide cheaper services. Soooo I may be out of a job soon. I asked my husband if we should hold off on the FET until I know what's going on with my job and he looked at me like I was crazy

@SwtAnana, I just did my trigger shot of HCG tonight at 1130pm. Doing my egg retrieval Thursday too! I agree with @tiffanyw1783, don't think about your job for at least the next two weeks while you are in this process.
@rainbowwishes5, Yes...I received 2 grocery bags of meds and was super, duper overwhelmed too. I only thought I was picking up two injectables. Just take it a little at a time. Your doctor will tell you what goes at which time...
AFM: Please everyone send me and @Swtanana good jujus and prayers for our egg retrieval on Thursday.
I am anxious for good news. I only have 10 follicles...7 on right and 3 on the left....but as my friend said
..I only need one.
Hugs to everyone.
afm: we are on the way home now. 16 follies collected and we will get the fertilization report tomorrow. I'm super anxious since we lost so many on our last FET. I really hope we have some strong quality this time.
