Cathy have you looked up OHSS!!! please research it on line... if you are having those symtoms call the RE asap... other than that it sounds like implantation cramps... I know a lady who had them sooo severe she was doubled over crying... she is pregnant and her RE said it was implantation pains... (she is having twins) Just know it is a good sign you are feeling something... some women don't feel a thing but the bulk of IVF women do from what I have read... I think you can take tylenol but not extra strength... but that is about it...no heating pad after transfer... they say it is like mentral cramps and sometimes a little harder... the bloating sounds like mild ohss, drink plenty of gatorade and stay resting ...

Hello ladies just want 2 say that the et in itself was painless. We transfered one perfect blast n one cystomurola its the beging stages of forming into a blast. There were only 5 embies left well now only 3. my appt was @ 11:45 and they started @ 2:30 i peed 3x b4 they started n was dying 2 pee 30 mins after i tried the bed pan but could not pee laying down. Thankfully 4 dh who kept my mind busy by playing hangman. I was able 2 wait the full hr. Dh has been so great he has not left me all at all n taking such good care of me. Im so happy. this is all txting by da phone.

Hey ladies, well I am sorry I haven't responded to any of you ladies, however I have read all .. it has been a day... I promise to catch up... first off today was DH and my anniversary and we had a very good day today in New Orleans... as for my appt... my E2 went up about 200 which I am not happy with but my RE is very happy with it.. my follies are growing. I have to go back tomorrow morning for blood work and ultra sound... I asked the RE to allow me to stim for 1 more day... he said it depends on my blood work he may let me stim one more night and trigger on Monday... and retrieval would be on Wed... but won't know for sure until tomorrow... Other than that I look pregnant my stomach is soo bloated... I was told today by 2 ladies, You look sooo cute, you are glowing how far are you... I said I am not pregnant they said oh I am sooo sorry... you don't look fat or anything... well they couldn't get there feet out their mouths... I finally just walked away and said thanks for the cute comment...lol
Mandy

haha Mandy those drugs make you bloat like anything I've heard. I dont know too much cuz when I did my IUI's I was on femara only. I guess i'll get the feeling once i start injecting myself. Good luck on your ER next week !!! It's just a short time away
Mandy do all women have to wait for an AF to start stimming ? like what day of ur cycle are u supposed to start stimming ? im so clueless about IVF. all ive been instructed so far is to start Lup on monday but then i didnt get the part where the secretary said im gonna get more meds along with the Lupron. Basically she said get ready to spend 1000 dollars on Monday

Being fat right now is a good thing...
Quote:
Thanks, Angie! ![]() I am telling you ladies - my belly and hip fat are really coming in handy right now, I think that's why the injections never hurt me or bruise. (I weigh 192) Although I'd take painful injections any day to be able to wear a bikini again I think! I am looking forward to tomorrow's office visit, hoping my e2 is up and there are more follies. I worry though, because I'm still not having any side effects other than acne on my chin and a little insomnia. I'm not having mood swings - in fact I'm more calm than ever... Worried... Tomorrow at 8am can't come soon enough. Hugs

WoW it looks like we are all going for either an US/BW or ET tomorrow! I hope we hear what we want to hear tomorrow. I go for my US tomorrow too it's my final straw for this cycle. Unfortunately my last US 3 days ago wasn't so great. I still have 60 follicles and imagine that! I only have 4 follicles growing
2 on my left are 18mm and 2 on my right are 11mm. Well those aren't so great... specially how big the discrepancy on both. Another idea was I'll go on IUI if all things didn't work out but the funny part... I dont have my left tube! How Ironic right? lol the ones that produced the biggest follicles the ones that can't let those eggs get out to swim.... ***sigh*** it gets really frustrating sometimes. I hope God has better plans for me because I can only be so strong sometimes. Ladies, I hope you all have a wonderful day tomorrow and Take care!
