Re: December IVF anyone???

  • @bpietronicco so happy you’re getting great ultrasound results! I had ER Tuesday and we had 19 mature eggs - 17 fertilized with ICSI! I’ll get a day 3 update tomorrow! We are transferring Sunday. Anxious and excited! I wish I could get an update everyday :lol: 

    feeling more after effects of ER this time. My first ER was not bad at all and I had 18 eggs, 15 mature. This time is rough. Relaxing weekend for me! 
  • @krenee124 that’s awesome!! We are doing ICSI as well.  This is our one and only round so I am hoping that everything continues to go in the right direction.  Heading out to monitoring appt here shortly.  Hope the effects wear off quickly for you.

  • Thank you ladies!! @bpietronicco ICSI is wonderfully made for those of us who need it! I hope today’s appt was full of good news! 
  • I was driving when my nurse called me with the report so I didn’t get a count but I have 2 15s and maybe 4 13s and a couple of 12s, 11a and 10s and then a couple under 10.  They upped my gonal-f and I go back for monitoring on Sunday. 

    On a side note- I am part of a sorority alumni group and I have been spacey about sending in my dues- every time I went to go send the check I would get side tracked.  Well today I got a nasty email from the treasurer and instantly it made me cry-
    darn these hormones!!!
  • Well still no AF! I’m on CD 34! Last cycle was 35 days and th cycle before 29! I’m so annoyed with how unpredictable my cycles have been. Maybe the stress of the impending IVF is causing it? I don’t know but I’m sure getting annoyed with it! 

    @bpietronicco Hoping your other follicles catch up!!
  • @krenee124 Hope your transfer went well!!!
  • @bpietronicco Hope your monitoring appointment goes well this morning - looking forward to your update!

    @krenee124 Congrats on being PUPO! Hope everything went well yesterday :)

  • @krenee124 hope you had a smooth transfer and are feeling good after.

    @bpietronicco I am sure those other follicles will catch up before you know it.

    @ndz2018 man how aggravating! I am sorry you are still waiting for af. 

    AFM I started BCP yesterday and will be on for 7-10 days... should find out tomorrow full plan since I have my saline ultrasound tomorrow.  I am so excited. 

    **Possible trigger**
     Yesterday there was a candle lighting for those that had lost children and my family and I went. It was honestly nice going and talking to a few others. It was emotional but nice. They sang a few songs, read a few things from the Bible and read a list of names of those lost. I included both names of my son and my daughter. I know some might not have included a miscarriage but she was real and deserves to be remembered.

    @mandurz That sounds like it was a beautiful ceremony. A miscarriage is absolutely a loss - we carried them and they were absolutely our babies. We named our daughter as well and I made a Christmas ornament for her this year to hang on our tree with our other family ornaments (bought the stuff last year but just couldn't finish it). She will always be a part of our family's story, as she should be. I miss how happy I was while she was with us, and I will always miss the person she should have been. ETA: Hugs to you as you remember your son and daughter, especially at this time of year.  
    **End TW**

    @ndz2018 So frustrating! I can't remember what your last insurance update was - does this give you any more time to get insurance sorted out and not have to start BCP?

    AFM, I went for my progesterone test yesterday (~4DPO) which came back at 28 so it confirmed ovulation. I start my Estrace today. This time I'm going to pair it with some Colace given my experience EP last cycle LOL! Now the count down to CD 1 is on....about 7 more days!

  • @mandurz That sounds like an absolutely beautiful ceremony! @tosh24 I also love the ornament idea! Our angels will always be watching over us!

    @tosh24 Nope still waiting in the insurance so maybe it’s a blessing in disguise.. however getting super antsy to get started!! I may have to start the BCP till it gets cleared up and it may be possible that we’ll be cycle buddies!!! 
  • RE called and said I will be triggering tonight- waiting for nurse to call with al other instructions!! Will keep you posted-  she said her goal is to get 10 eggs.  
  • Okay! Trigger tonight at 11:40pm.  I have 17 measureable follicles but some of them probably won’t mature at time of retrieval on Wednesday. RE is shooting for 10 eggs. Estrogen is starting plateau so re thought today was best time to trigger.
  • WOOHOO OUR ICSI WAS APPROVED!! Now if AF would just start we can get rolling!
  • @bpietronicco woo hoo for trigger! I hope you get the 10 mature eggs.

    @ndz2018 heck yeah! Glad it was finally approved!

    Hey Guys I just spoke to my nurse and she said to give AF a few more days(today is CD36 :(  )and if by Thur it’s not here they will bring me in for bloodwork and ultrasound to see what’s going on and may give me something to bring it on! Also I asked What if the egg retrieval date winds up being in christmas? She told me That two of their offices one is close to our place up north and the other is close to our shore house are both open for egg retrieval’s that day! So where every we are that day we will Be Just fine!
     

    @krenee124 13 WOW! And transferred 2  FX for you doll!
    @bpietronicco YAY for trigger!

    @mandurz Glad the saline sono came back clear!!! Remind me again, you’re starting your stimming this cycle coming up, correct?

  • Got the call- of the 14 - 10 were mature and 4 fertilized. I am so hoping that these 4 make
    it.
  • @bpietronicco I am sure the 4 will make it just fine and be perfect little embryos. Don't worry about the number dropping that much mine the first time around was a higher drop. 25 eggs retrieved, 20 mature, 19 fertilized, and only 4 made it to day 5. I think we were a little overly aggressive with stimulation last time so I think it lowered the quality a bit.
     Just remember it only takes one (or more if you want more).

  • Thanks @mandurz!  It’s just so stressful when this is the only round we can afford!!! I am trying to stay positive and take it one day at a time. 
  • @bpietronicco  I'm sure it's so nerve wracking to see the number drop like that, but I'm hoping with everything I've got that those 4 little embies are strong! Did you do natural fert or ICSI?

  • Good morning! Well went in for blood work and ultrasound this morning.. she said it looks like I just Ovulated and my uterus lining is thick so it looks like I’m in the middle of my cycle.. I’m in CD 38!!!! She may give me something to kick start it. I guess I’ll know more when the blood work come back later this afternoon.

  • All 4 made it through the night! They want to do a 3 day transfer- scheduled for tomorrow- I hope they keep dividing!!!
  • @bpietronicco I’m so glad all 4 made it through the night & are looking good! Good luck with your transfer tomorrow! This is the easy part, minus all the waiting!!! :smile: 
  • GUYS!! So guess who just got her period?!?! CD 1 HERE!!! Here we go!
