@leela00
I’m sorry you had to cancel. I hope the next round goes smoothly for you.
vanessa_lynne They
kept it the same. Added dexamethasone each day during the stims. That’s it. It
was very successful as far as growth and how many were mature last time.
@jazziep Welcome to the board. That's super annoying about your pharmacy! I find the cetrotide needles easier to get into if I give them a sharp twist first.
@leela00 Sorry to hear that your cycle was cancelled Better luck last this year.
@Vanessa_lynne Wow, you were lucky to get your OHIP cycle so quickly! Good luck the trigger and ER!
@avrilmai I hope you have a good baseline this week! I find that the Cetrotide stings, but the injections themselves aren't so bad. It's the headaches that I could do without.
AFM, my ultrasound this morning was far from great Only two mature follicles, with one that may catch up. I'm going one more night with Gonal-F and Luveris, and I'll go back in tomorrow for another u/s and bloodwork. There's one more that may catch up, but I was feeling pretty defeated after today's appointment. If they don't cancel my cycle tomorrow, I'll trigger tomorrow night and have my ER on Thursday. I'm pretty bummed because I'm at the max dosage for the drugs this time around. Blah. Stupid ovaries.
Got my ER date! It's Wednesday! Estradiol is at 3338, and I had 2@15, 1@19, 2@20, 1@22 this morning. Trigger and HCG tonight at 930 and on a plane tomorrow afternoon. @bakerstreetboys you're not defeated, anything can happen. Best of luck with your ovaries.
Thanks for the warm words of welcome, so glad to find some people to virtually chat with on this! @optimisticmrsk This is day 4 of stims. @jazziep was it an injector pen or a syringe that you jabbed yourself with? Question: was anyone else a little surprised when you learned that the general ivf experts expect normal people with no medical background to learn how to inject themselves?
@Avrilmai you’re right, we will start stimming around the same time ! My baseline is this Saturday. Do you find yourself more or less nervous vs your last cycle ? Wishing you best of luck !!
@bakerstreetboys ugh sorry about your U/S today but don’t lose hope ! Sending you all the positive energy so that they find better progress on the next checkup. Stay strong !
@vanessa lynne How exciting ! And your numbers look great! Good luck with your ER, hope it goes smoothly. Keep us posted on your report
@mnpersephone I was more overwhelmed with the prepping part of the injections : mixing the solutions, exchanging needles, etc I’ve had to inject my mom before a few times (she suffered really bad allergies) and coincidentally my husband also had a little background with having to do injections for his brother growing up. So we feel confident we can do the injections lol but I see what you mean that for the nurses/doctors it seems like no big deal at all , meanwhile for us it’s a mix of so many emotions ,adding to the fact that we get to stab ourselves multiple times a day and experience all the fun side effects. FX, it will all be worth it in the end for all of us !!
@optimisticmrsk we had 9 as of Monday. Was supposed to do retrieval Saturday but they don't think I'll make it that far because they were all around 17 on my left. Only 2 were on the right and not as mature. I go back again tomorrow to see.
The side effects are finally catching up to me. I've been so tired, nauseous, having hot flashes, super bloated and having slight migraines (I'm a chronic migraine sufferer so anything below a 7 pain level is bearable for me). But I'm almost there.
I've heard the lupron trigger is terrible. Is this true?
@vanessa_lynne YES! The cetrotide needle attacked me too! Scratched my wrist pretty good. I'm super careful about removing the cover now. I'll try pinching it. Thank you!
@bakerstreetboys sorry the news wasn't great. I hope today's appointment went better or at least left you feeling better/more hopeful. @vanessa_lynne GL wednesday! those look like great numbers going in. @optimisticmrsk I am feeling a lot less nervous this time around. I know I can do this because I've done it before. I know the meds will be a bit different and that anything can happen, but I also know that a lot of my anxiety last time was about the unknown. @mnpersephone the injections is where I struggled the most. my DH actually did all of my injections last cycle. even mixing the meds; I would go to mix and he would say "i've got this." I think it was his way of being involved and part of the process. It seems an unnatural thing to stab yourself with a needle, but I've found (or my DH has) that the instructional videos are very helpful. @jazziep ugh, the hot flashes were the worst! hope the side effects are too bad.

Retrieval went well today. The staff at TRIO in Toronto were excellent and everything went really smoothly. We got 7 eggs (I'm 38 btw) but RE was pleased with our result and we'll get an update tomorrow on fertilization. Worst part right now is gas pain. Ouch!! I wasn't expecting this on top of the bloating. All worth it, of course! We start progesterone injections tomorrow. Have any of you ladies been through those before? Any advice? Ty in advance. Sending you all positive vibes. 😊
@jazziep wow sorry to hear about all your side effects, but you’re almost there! Hang in there!! Hope you have a smooth retrieval ! Did they give you date yet ?
@Avrilmai glad to hear you’re in a better place this cycle. Best of luck starting your stims !!
@vanessa lynne congrats, 7 eggs is great !! I will be crossing my fingers for an excellent fertilization report for you. I’ve never done the PIO shots before but I’ve read that massaging the injection site after injecting will help to avoid oil/fluid build up inside your skin. Good luck and keep us posted !!
AFM, yesterday was my last day of BCP yay !! Only a couple more days for my baseline and stims ! I’m anxious to start ! Hope everyone’s cycle progressing nicely and positive vibes for all of you strong ladies.
@jazziep I did a dual trigger this time, and the Lupron was fine. A bit stingy, but not worse than the Cetrotide. @vanessa_lynne Congrats on a successful retrieval! Fx for fert report tomorrow.
We have our ER tomorrow, but only expecting two follies to have eggs, so I'm not all that excited. Hoping the Ativan works this time.
Thanks ladies. ER went ok. They say they got five which was a surprise, but we don’t know how many were mature. Waiting on fertilization report tomorrow. I hope you are all doing well! Going back to sleep now
I was on the October FET board but actually I should be here first.
Starting my first and last IVF this month. Waiting for AF like it's Christmas haha. Should be here Monday (cd39) here is hoping it is not delayed again... I am even having dreams about getting AF... Who thought that would ever be exciting haha.
Love the support of this group. Wishing you all the best of luck.
@bakerstreetboys 5 is good! Keep us posted! @optimisticmrsk thanks! My partner did a great job and I hardly felt the needle. We made sure to warm the oil very well. After my retrieval they gave me a bean bag to warm up and place on my abdomen. We heated it up and wrapped it around the syringe. Oil went in smoothly and didn't take very long at all. Happy that it wasn't as bad as I expected.
Our fert report today was good! All 7 eggs were mature and all 7 fertilized. We hear again on Saturday how they are progressing. Likely transfer Monday if all goes well. 😊
@vanessa_lynne Seven fertilized, that's great! So would Monday be a 3 or 5 day transfer? @dan-g I rememeber anxiously awaiting AF and thinking how strange it was! Fx everything goes according to schedule for you. Welcome to the board.
We got our fert report today; four mature and all fertilized! Such a nice surprise Of course the next few days are crucial...we're on the board for a five day transfer, but if some of the embryos don't continue to thrive, we'll end up with a three day. Talk about being on pins and needles! I'm terrified of the phone ringing.
@bakerstreetboys congratulations that’s such good news! Keeping FX that the next few days bring even more good news. @vanessa_lynne 7 fertilized is awesome. Hoping that your Saturday report is excellent and that Monday goes well
AFM, got the go ahead to start meds on Sunday.

@vanessa lynne congrats on your 7 embies !!! Awesome news, hope you keep receiving good news on your next fertilization report ! Thanks for the tips for the PIO shots will def use the heating pad when I do mine. Keep us posted if you end up doing a Monday transfer ! Best of luck !!
@bakerstreetboys I’m so happy for you !! That’s excellent news ! Praying that your embies stay on track and keep growing , sending you all the good vibes !!
Welcome @dan-g and best of luck starting stims @Avrilmai !! I will be right behind you.
Hope we keep receiving more good news on this forum ! It’s getting so exciting !! Best of luck to everyone this month !
@bakerstreetboys That's great news. Wishing you all the best of luck in this very long 5 day wait. I can't even think about being you. My heart. But I will possibly soon be in those shoes.
Best of luck to all and thanks for the welcome.
I am in a strange mood today. Really really want AF to arrive but the thought of it actually makes me feel so nervous that I feel sick. 😂 haha It's a 3 hour drive to our clinic on day CD2 We are getting DH results and talking about how we are going to proceed. This is such a scary process. I just try not to think about it. But at the same time I have so many questions haha
@bakerstreetboys 4 is awesome! You had thought you might only have 2 eggs, and here you are with double that fertilized!! So awesome! Thinking of you and hoping the good news keeps up!
We are likely looking at a 5 day transfer on Monday. Waiting for an update today, anxiously.
Wishing you all the best for those of you starting their cycles. It's exciting to have science on our sides through IF. We are very fortunate to have the technology available these days. Keep up the positivity!
It's definitely exciting to hear about everyone's results. 😁
@vanessa_lynne Hopefully you got good news yesterday and that you're going in tomorrow for transfer! @avrilmai Good luck starting meds today, it's always exciting to start and feel like you're finally doing something! @agaun I hope DH's results were good. It's totally normal to feel nervous and still have a million questions
We got the news today that the embryos are still doing well, and we're scheduled for a day five transfer on Tuesday. Normally I love long weekends, but the days feel so long now, I'd almost welcome the distraction of work!
Hi everyone! I’m new to posting, and we are just starting our first IVF cycle. We did two unsuccessful rounds of IUI prior to this. Today was my first day of stims. Is anyone else just starting?
Transferred a blastocyst this morning. Everything went well and they have already frozen another one, with an update on the other 5 to come tomorrow. Feeling good! Finally feeling like the bloating is gone. Blood test on the 19th!
@bakerstreetboys so many positive vibes for you tomorrow! Keep us posted.
And they were able to retrieve 8 eggs. Of the 8 eggs they said they were only able to inject 5 (anyone have any experience on why the other 3 may have failed?).
I was initially disappointed that we didn't have more, however, of the 5 they injected all 5 fertilized. Transplant is scheduled for Thursday 😁
Started our progesterone shots and poor DH hit a nerve last night and my entire left side of my rear end was numb! Clinic said he should aim slightly higher next time. Lol
@vetgirl2011 We did two rounds of unsuccessful IUI before doing IVF. This is our first round of IVF this month and we just did ER on Saturday. My prayers are with you as you start your stims!
@vanessa_lynne Congrats on your transfer and my fingers are crossed for you!
@bakerstreetboys My thoughts are with you. Good energy and baby dust your way!
@aguan Your clinic is a bit of a drive. I'll keep you in my prayers.
@vanessa_lynne FX for you! @jazziep there is often some drop off from the number of eggs retrieved and the number mature to the number that actually fertilize. 5 is an amazing number of fertilized! I hope it’s not the case but keep in mind that all 5 may not make it to blast. There can be several reasons why the other 3 did not fertilize it could’ve been that they were not mature, or were starting to degrade, but it could also be that those egg/sperm just didn’t work together or the cell division just didn’t happen. Either way, GL Thursday! Hope the PIO injections get easier.

@vanessa lynne congrats on being PUPO!! Glad to hear your transfer went well ! Wishing you a stress-free TWW , do you plan on testing at home? Crossing my fingers for you and sending you all the good energy !
@agaun thank you for the good wishes!! I hope your AF shows up asap so you can move on to the next steps. Good luck !!
@jazziep congrats on your 5 fertilized ! Hoping for a great fert report and smooth transfer. FX for you and best of luck !!
@vetgirl2011 welcome ! I started stims on Saturday so we’ll be on a similar schedule
@Avrilmai How are you doing with stims ? How are you feeling?
AFM, I’m on Day 3 of Stims and have been feeling well. A little sore right after the injection and a bit crampy but that’s about it. I’m excited to go in for monitoring to hopefully see good progress. Good luck everyone and let’s keep the good news coming !
@vanessa lynne So glad the transfer went well! Hopefully the next two weeks fly by!
@optimisticmrsk It’s nice to have someone on almost the same schedule! I’m glad you are feeling well so far! I’ve had mild nausea, but otherwise feel pretty good.
@jazziep 5 fertilized is great! Hoping for an easy transfer for you!
We transferred two day 5 blasts this morning. We should have one to freeze, the last one was starting to fragment. Better than last time! I’ll start testing out the trigger in a couple of days. No way I’ll be able to wait 2.5 weeks for the official blood test!
Re: October 2018 IVF
@leela00 I’m sorry you had to cancel. I hope the next round goes smoothly for you.

@optimisticmrsk how are the stims going? Any update on possible retrieval date?
I'm actually lying in my recovery chair here after transfer... Have to pee so badly! But excited to be here!
And they were able to retrieve 8 eggs. Of the 8 eggs they said they were only able to inject 5 (anyone have any experience on why the other 3 may have failed?).
