Hey everyone. This is tmi, but I started taking the progesterone suppositories 3x a day starting Thursday night. The bullet shapes ones that are kind of waxy and melt. Every time I go to put a new one in it seems like there is part of an old one that I have to take out. Not a ton, but it is still a chunk. I got them from a different place than the ones I used for my IUIs. Those always completely melted within the like half an hour that i lay down after putting them in. Has anyone had this before? I just want to make sure nothing is wrong and this is ok. And don't really want to call my clinic on the weekend.
@baseballhoney unfortunately this is normal.... I’ve done the endometrin stuff which isn’t as soft as the one you’re using and it does a similar thing.... also from time to time (super tmi) you’ll get a gush of the stuff.... it’s 100% awful! I used a million pantyliners on the stuff. Worst part: getting close to Beta I thougght every gush (ugh) was af starting, and after my (tw) positive Beta I thought every gush was miscarriage starting.... it’s an awful sensation, but it helps so it must be done
Good afternoon everyone. I am new to this site and currently 6dp3dt. I’m feeling extremely emotional today to the point I feel like I might have a breakdown.
@emmasemm I’m so happy to hear that your follicles are cooperating
@tosh24 our RE left it up to us for ICSI. We are using frozen sperm so you do work with lower counts because they split the samples but the sperm is guaranteed good for quality (lol so weird when you think to much about it). Since insurance covered it we just went with ICSI to be safe rather than sorry.
@emmasemn I’ve never heard of doing a frozen transfer during a fresh timing either. We weren’t planning on doing another IVF but after sending 9blasts for PGS only to get 2 back normal we kinda felt that if I was lucky enough to get pregnant from one of those PGS normal embryos the chance that my eggs would have enough quality to get siblings would be low. I told her even if we didn’t get any PGS normals this cycle I wouldn’t want to do another IVF to try to bank embryos, and I didn’t want to transfer fresh to save money on the PGS. The chemical pregnancies have been hard on me and though PGS doesn’t immune me to loss I don’t want to go running into it. The option to transfer the frozen just works out perfectly for my somewhat unique situation.
@cmiller73 you look like a familiar user name I think me may have cycled together before. I hope this is your luck cycle
@ronniesgirl1982 I don’t think its possible to make it through IVF without a little bit of a mental breakdown. What’s not your mind?

@baseballhoney ugh the suppositories are the worst! I’ve never had that problem before. You could maybe call the pharmacy and speak to the pharmacist instead of your clinic?
@ronniesgirl1982 welcome. I’m so sorry you’re feeling that way. It’s hard to stay positive with so much disappointment throughout this process. Hope this is the one!! Keeping fx for you!
@ronniesgirl1982 how many embryos did you transfer were they day 3 or 5? Were you able to freeze any? I know heartbreaking this journey can be. There are times when we (my partner and I) have questioned why we put ourselves through this. Keep up your hopes as long as its healthy for you to do so. Try to indulge yourself in some favorite distractions, and well sometimes its just good to cry it out and fall apart for awhile. None of us know when our BFP will come and stay but all of us do have a little bit of hope buried somewhere otherwise we wouldn't be here fighting. Know we are here we understand this pain and we are rooting for you.

@dragonette505 At least I know it's not just me! And @ronniesgirl1982 I think everyone goes through those times on this infertility journey. It's so mentally and emontially taxing too. If people haven't been through it just don't understand.
@2MomsHoping our cycle was looking as though it was going to be cancelled as at my first stims scan I wasn’t responding, I had another scan and had 2 follicles so they decided to go ahead with EC and I miraculously got 2 eggs! Then there was the worry they wouldn’t fertilise but miraculously and to their suprise as much as ours both fertilised! by day 3 one was a good looking 8 cell and the other was a good looking 6 cell and I had them both transferred at day 3. So no Frosties! I keep trying to tell myself that at one point we thought this was going to be over so maybe this is meant to be we managed to get 2 little good quality embryos better than anyone thought!
@ronniesgirl1982 your story is so inspiring. I really hope it all works out for you. My last cycle was cancelled also on CD11 as I wasn’t responding to the meds. After reading your story, I feel maybe I should’ve pushed a little harder for it not to be cancelled. How long did you stim?
Hey all. Heartbreaking news over here. None of our fertilized grew past 1 or 2 cells. RE says that means egg quality problem. I'll meet with her next week. I'm devastated. I never expected to have trouble on this side of the equation, everything about the cycle was perfect and easy. I might stay away from this forum for a bit while I grieve. Best of luck to everyone still in it!

UPDATE I triggered last night with 0.8 ml of lupron and only 3000 units of HCG. I poas-ed this morning as usual after triggering but the line was pretty faint... made me nervous. I went in for blood work as scheduled and I asked about it. They say it’s fine. I can’t remember what I thought about it last cycle. I used lupron and 5000 units of HCG , so maybe it was brighter then. I just hope it’s not too little to trigger with lol obviously they are the experts! Heres a pic from last night with one of my fave quotes.... retrieval 10:30 am tomorrow
@dragonette505 my line was also quite faint last month (and tested out within two days) so hopefully you're good, and if they've done BW they should know. Good luck for tomorrow - hope it runs smooth and you get a good number! I'm in for monitoring in the morning and hoping I can trigger tomorrow or Tuesday!

@emmasemm they haven’t said anything so I guess it’s all good! I would just rather have the higher doses and get a good trigger than try to be careful and maybe not fully mature my huevos! My e2 was only around 3000 so it’s not like I was already too high yet. Good luck tomorrow for you too!! So hoping you’re ready to trigger! How big were your follies last check? @Aera11 thank you!!!
@dragonette505 yay for triggering! Good luck tomorrow! Keeping my fx for lots of eggs!
Random question for those that have done a transfer before: when counting for 5 days post retrieval, does the day of retrieval count as day 1 or is it the day after? Like if my ER is Friday would my 5 day transfer be Wednesday? Trying to sort of figure out my holiday plans though I know there’s really no point yet...
@ronniesgirl1982 you have definitely been on a rollercoaster ride but you still have a chance. It only takes one lucky embryo to make a baby and I hope one of both of those little fighters keep going for you.
@steph8986 I’m so terribly sorry to hear that your embryos stopped growing. My heart breaks for you and your loss, how devastating . I’m glad you are taking the time to grieve and hope your RE will be able to give you support and advice at your appointment next week. I’ll be thinking about you.
AFM, I went in today after taking my sims for 3 days and they are upping my meds. They didn’t give any counts but basically everything is so small at this point that it may be too early to really tell anything. My estradiol and progesterone were both low. I’m doing a combo of folistim and menopure. They just upped the folistim but not the menopure. Does anyone know why they might increase one over the other?

retrieval day is day zero... so the next day is one day post retrieval.
@2MomsHoping it’s often the case that it’s the gonal-f or follistim that gets upped. The follistim is pure fsh (stimulating your follicles) and menopur mixes fsh and LH. You may be on the highest recommended dose of menopur (can you tell me your dosages?) so that might be why, or that they just want to get your follies going and that’s what the follistim does. Some people start slow (like myself) and it’s really not until the follicles get a bit larger that the meds really have an impact. I’ve definitely had my meds doses pushed up and reduced in cycles and it’s pretty normal. If I knew your dosages I’d have a better idea
@dragonette505 When I triggered I only used 80 units of Lupron and 1,250 of HCG.
Wow... I’ve never heard of as low as 1250... I have heard of 3000, I just would rather more than to little... lol since im not transferring I don’t mind the overstimulation risk so much.
@dragonette505 I think avoiding overstimulation was part of it. My estrogen was pretty high, at least by their limits.
Mine was definitely inching up... I’ve been as high as 6000 and I triggered with 10000 (I did get ohss of course). I was only at around 3000 of Friday.... Dual trigger actually has some great results and pregnancy rates.
@2momshoping fx your follies start to wake up soon. Mine were really slow this time too. It's super frustrating, and especially if it's unexpected after faster earlier cycles. It also makes planning a nightmare!
Hope everyone else had a relaxing weekend and has a good start in the week.
AFM well just back from monitoring. Clinic was chaos as two of six doctors supposed to be in this morning were sick, and waiting half an hour seeing people come out crying etc did nothing for my nerves!
Good news is the follies are growing, just in their own sweet time... They grew since Friday (when I had 3 at 11mm @dragonette505)and I now have one at 17mm (right) and 2 at 14mm (left). He said he is quite confident the 17mm one would be ready for ER on Wednesday - but he doubts the 14mm ones would be. And then we had a 4th follie appear which was almost 10mm also on the left side. So it was a discussion about if we trigger tonight he is fairly sure to get 1, maybe 1-2 more. But if we trigger Weds for Friday ER then he hopes we can get 2 and maybe the big one will still be good, plus the 10mm has a chance to catch up too, therefore max potential of 4.
So we have opted for me to go back in again on Wednesday, just to check, with plan to trigger that night and ER Friday. Depending on number and quality after fert then we would decide if Mon or Tues transfer. I nearly had a heart attack when he said Tuesday. As one I'm supposed to travel on Tuesday and two that would mean a 4dt. Last time we did 2dt and the risk I don't have anything to transfer on day 4 is quite high. But he said we will decide when we get to that, and if we could get 3 eggs then it would be good to wait and see how they develop those extra two days as it could be valuable info for us for future cycles, and he would hope we would still have at least one to transfer. Still a long way to get there and lots of ifs and buts.
I'm giving each of my cycles songs to go with them. Last cycle was "Faster than the speed of light" by Bonnie Tyler. This cycle is "The neverending story" by Limahl. All I need is Bastian, Artax, Falkor and the Empress to appear and I'll know the drugs are really working ;-)

@emmasemm that’s great they grew!! I think Wednesday is probably good... if the 14’s are at 16 there’s still a chance there will be mature eggs (15 and above). Awesome your super ovaries popped out another egg. And here’s Bastian and Falkor for you!!
@emmasemm - I love that your cycles have these songs. It's amazing.
My donor starts stims on Wednesday and Wed morning I go for my lining check. It's happening. I'm so excited and so nervous. I think later today I will have an opportunity to go to The Paper Store and find an exceptionally beautiful card and hopefully an appropriate gift for my donor.

Re: November IVF
Thank you everyone for the warm welcome
@emmasemm I’m so happy to hear that your follicles are cooperating
@tosh24 our RE left it up to us for ICSI. We are using frozen sperm so you do work with lower counts because they split the samples but the sperm is guaranteed good for quality (lol so weird when you think to much about it). Since insurance covered it we just went with ICSI to be safe rather than sorry.
@dragonette505 happy trigger
@emmasemn I’ve never heard of doing a frozen transfer during a fresh timing either. We weren’t planning on doing another IVF but after sending 9blasts for PGS only to get 2 back normal we kinda felt that if I was lucky enough to get pregnant from one of those PGS normal embryos the chance that my eggs would have enough quality to get siblings would be low. I told her even if we didn’t get any PGS normals this cycle I wouldn’t want to do another IVF to try to bank embryos, and I didn’t want to transfer fresh to save money on the PGS. The chemical pregnancies have been hard on me and though PGS doesn’t immune me to loss I don’t want to go running into it. The option to transfer the frozen just works out perfectly for my somewhat unique situation.
@cmiller73 you look like a familiar user name I think me may have cycled together before. I hope this is your luck cycle
@ronniesgirl1982 I don’t think its possible to make it through IVF without a little bit of a mental breakdown. What’s not your mind?

@ronniesgirl1982 how many embryos did you transfer were they day 3 or 5? Were you able to freeze any? I know heartbreaking this journey can be. There are times when we (my partner and I) have questioned why we put ourselves through this. Keep up your hopes as long as its healthy for you to do so. Try to indulge yourself in some favorite distractions, and well sometimes its just good to cry it out and fall apart for awhile. None of us know when our BFP will come and stay but all of us do have a little bit of hope buried somewhere otherwise we wouldn't be here fighting. Know we are here we understand this pain and we are rooting for you.

Take a look at my blog
I triggered last night with 0.8 ml of lupron and only 3000 units of HCG. I poas-ed this morning as usual after triggering but the line was pretty faint... made me nervous. I went in for blood work as scheduled and I asked about it. They say it’s fine. I can’t remember what I thought about it last cycle. I used lupron and 5000 units of HCG , so maybe it was brighter then.
I just hope it’s not too little to trigger with
lol
obviously they are the experts!
Heres a pic from last night with one of my fave quotes....
retrieval 10:30 am tomorrow
Good luck for tomorrow - hope it runs smooth and you get a good number!
I'm in for monitoring in the morning and hoping I can trigger tomorrow or Tuesday!

good luck tomorrow with your retrieval @dragonette505!!
@Aera11 thank you!!!
Random question for those that have done a transfer before: when counting for 5 days post retrieval, does the day of retrieval count as day 1 or is it the day after? Like if my ER is Friday would my 5 day transfer be Wednesday? Trying to sort of figure out my holiday plans though I know there’s really no point yet...

@ronniesgirl1982 you have definitely been on a rollercoaster ride but you still have a chance. It only takes one lucky embryo to make a baby and I hope one of both of those little fighters keep going for you.
@steph8986 I’m so terribly sorry to hear that your embryos stopped growing. My heart breaks for you and your loss, how devastating
. I’m glad you are taking the time to grieve and hope your RE will be able to give you support and advice at your appointment next week. I’ll be thinking about you.
@dragonette505 good luck at your retrieval tomorrow!
AFM, I went in today after taking my sims for 3 days and they are upping my meds. They didn’t give any counts but basically everything is so small at this point that it may be too early to really tell anything. My estradiol and progesterone were both low. I’m doing a combo of folistim and menopure. They just upped the folistim but not the menopure. Does anyone know why they might increase one over the other?

Wow... I’ve never heard of as low as 1250... I have heard of 3000, I just would rather more than to little... lol
since im not transferring I don’t mind the overstimulation risk so much.
@2momshoping fx your follies start to wake up soon. Mine were really slow this time too. It's super frustrating, and especially if it's unexpected after faster earlier cycles. It also makes planning a nightmare!
@dragonette505 once again good luck today!
@aera11 hope all is going well for you
Hope everyone else had a relaxing weekend and has a good start in the week.
AFM well just back from monitoring. Clinic was chaos as two of six doctors supposed to be in this morning were sick, and waiting half an hour seeing people come out crying etc did nothing for my nerves!
Good news is the follies are growing, just in their own sweet time... They grew since Friday (when I had 3 at 11mm @dragonette505)and I now have one at 17mm (right) and 2 at 14mm (left). He said he is quite confident the 17mm one would be ready for ER on Wednesday - but he doubts the 14mm ones would be. And then we had a 4th follie appear which was almost 10mm also on the left side. So it was a discussion about if we trigger tonight he is fairly sure to get 1, maybe 1-2 more. But if we trigger Weds for Friday ER then he hopes we can get 2 and maybe the big one will still be good, plus the 10mm has a chance to catch up too, therefore max potential of 4.
So we have opted for me to go back in again on Wednesday, just to check, with plan to trigger that night and ER Friday. Depending on number and quality after fert then we would decide if Mon or Tues transfer. I nearly had a heart attack when he said Tuesday. As one I'm supposed to travel on Tuesday and two that would mean a 4dt. Last time we did 2dt and the risk I don't have anything to transfer on day 4 is quite high. But he said we will decide when we get to that, and if we could get 3 eggs then it would be good to wait and see how they develop those extra two days as it could be valuable info for us for future cycles, and he would hope we would still have at least one to transfer. Still a long way to get there and lots of ifs and buts.
I'm giving each of my cycles songs to go with them. Last cycle was "Faster than the speed of light" by Bonnie Tyler. This cycle is "The neverending story" by Limahl. All I need is Bastian, Artax, Falkor and the Empress to appear and I'll know the drugs are really working ;-)

@emmasemm - I love that your cycles have these songs. It's amazing.
My donor starts stims on Wednesday and Wed morning I go for my lining check. It's happening. I'm so excited and so nervous. I think later today I will have an opportunity to go to The Paper Store and find an exceptionally beautiful card and hopefully an appropriate gift for my donor. I think I am going to find a Christmas ornament. Maybe something like this:
