OMG - I love that movie - DH and I almost busted a gut! It takes a while to build up and it closes with a bang! LOVED it.

On second thought - don't watch that movie after ET b/c you may eject your embryos from laughing so hard!

Traci, we completed everything--homestudy, paperchase, etc. We are officially in China's system. Our Log-in-date (LID) which is the date we officially were entered into China's adoption system is 12-17-7. There is a long wait now between LID and referral (when you are matched with your baby). It's so hard to wait, but I've done everything I can on my end. Now I just have to concentrate on doing everything I can to get us our biological baby.

BTW, great idea to get a bunch of movies to watch after ET. Juno was really good, very funny. So was Little Miss Sunshine. DH and I belong to Netflix so I should go on our queue and make sure there are some good comedies saved on there.

irena, you've got 2 days for more follicle growth. As LadyR said I am sure that the size will be fine and you'll be able to trigger very soon. You ladies are getting me nervous mentioning the side effects of the stims. So far on the Lupron I've been fine. I start stims next week and am hoping the hormones don't have me too moody. I already warned my boss that I might be crabby--she was actually really supportive, and said not to worry about it. Will see if she feels that way if I start crying my eyes out at work.

midsouth - can you go in to edit your post and delete it and I will find the latest one? I'll add your ER/ET dates

Hi Ladies,

I am just starting the IVF process and had my injection teaching class yesterday. I paid for my IVF and noticed my bill was a little lower than expected (they do not give you a receipt so I was not sure what I had paid for) so I asked the lady at the front desk what plan she chose for me? My clinic has 4 plans, basic ivf, ivf with icsi, basic ivf with cyro freezing, ivf with icsi and cyro freezing. I had planned on the basic ivf with cyro freezing because I have ovarian cysts and know that the stimulation part of IVF could be dangerous for me and planned to freeze any little embies we get during our April cycle (which is our first cycle).

The lady leaned forward and said in a quiet voice, "oh we don't really do that any more, we were having issues unfreezing the embryos and were having to refund a lot of money". Ok, that was a HUGE deal for me and one reason I chose this clinic. Then I said, is the genetic testing included because we also wanted that option, she said almost the same thing, "oh we don't really do that either, it is very dangerous for the embryos so we don't really do that".

Their literature and website clearly state they offer these services so now I am perplexed. Was she simply saying this because she had already checked me out and did not want to have to recalculate totals and get the manager in there to assist her, was she trying to really warn me that they say they offer these services but I should stay away, I am confused.

What do you guys think? I really wanted to freeze my eggs so if the first attempt does not work, I would not have to do the whole IVF cycle again.

comments??? suggestions???

Thanks

[Corinne]

WOOT!

In the middle of all this IVF I took my nursing boards yesterday. I was a wreck afterwards, thinking I failed.

I found out this morning that I passed! I'm a REAL RN! Now if I can just be as lucky with our IVF.

Just had to share....

I think I would havea heart-to-heart with your doc. They really should have been more up-front with this from the beginning!

Thank you Corinne, I plan to do that Tuesday when he does my trial transfer.

Also were you guys told what to do for the TT? I was given no instruction but notice on my one sheet they gave me it says full bladder. Did they tell any of you how full or any instructions on that?

Thanks,
Kayla

Jen- You are a rock star. Congrats!!
Kayla- I would talk to your RE. You might want to connect with him/her before testing so you son't get too stressed out.

I just got back form us and bw for my last test before stim tomorrow. I also had a refresher with DH for injections. Feel so... much better about the process. Hopefully I will stay calm when I do my injection in the morning.

Oh I don't think that is acceptable! In fact, I would be IRATE about the not being able to freeze down. What are they going to do with the extra embryos??? If this doesn't work then you can't try your frozen ones? I'd be mad. Ask the doctor for clarification before you go in with guns blazing though - maybe that lady is just lazy like you said but being able to freeze down embies is a major deal to me.

I'm sorry kayla - what a pain to have to deal with this now.

[tracilynn]

jerseyj - CONGRATS on the fantastic fert report! way to go!

Corinne - congrats on being an RN! I bet you are glad that is over with!

midsouth - yes, have a full bladder for TT - that's it as far as instructions go. My bladder wasn't
