Shedaisy - hi! to May!!! Glad to see you moving on to an FET so quickly!!! Hopefully we get our BFPs together this time!!!!

[Martieroo]

Shasta -

Yes I had my mock retrieval - it went much easier that this one.

The only difference is my bladder was more full this time (because of the wait).

I hope that everyone's ET is easier than mine!

I spoke to the embryologist a few weeks ago and we are going to thaw out all 6 snowbabies in hopes to transfer 3. that this cycle is a success & that we get to hold our healthy, precious baby/babies in '09!

Can't wait to hear of all everyone's s. Good Luck to everyone!!

and good luck!!!

Great Fertilization report Kelly, way to go. Good luck!

[Mamashuga]

Heather, congrats on all your eggies fertilizing.

[Emilysmom]

Shasta and Hjones--great fertilization report ladies!!! Spread some dust to all of us!!!

Shedaisy!!!


Smee--Sorry for your IVF conversion. Hoping you'll get a big BFP from your IUI.

Hoping that everyone who is PUPO is feeling very prego. Just waiting for all the BFP to roll in.


Update: We are on day 2 of stims. We go back on Friday for bloodwork and US start over the weekend. I spoke with my RE today and we discussed a 3 day transfer vs 5 day transfer. I am getting nervous because in the past we haven't had the best quality on day 3. Just a few good quality embryos so I am nervous about waiting out until day5. We are planning a 3 day transfer and hopefully they will cancel us because we have so many PERFECT embryos that we can go out to day 5 for blast with AH. Keeping our for good eggs and embies this round.

After our appt we are going to the baseball game. I'm so looking forward to a funnel cake. So sorry ladies to mention food but I just couldn't resist.

Hi Elizabeth, I just had my B/W and U/S today at CCRM (day 4 of stims). Everything looks good and we're moving forward! I am going to the baseball game on Wed the 7th as well. My ER is planned for 5/14, so maybe we'll meet? Let me know if you need any info about Denver or anything else!!! Terri

Shasta- OMG! I can't believe how many eggs you got! Not to mention, how many more they had to go in and check/drain. Take good care of yourself! (but, great report! I am jealous of your numbers - but not in a bad way:-))

Smee- sorry for your conversion to IUI. I am sure that is disappointing - but try not to be disappointed! This can be your chance to get a BFP without having needles passed into the walls of your coochie! It is an opportunity!!!!

Pris - great report!!!

Wow, we are really flying through the ERs and ETs so congrats to all of you who are PUPO! Try to stay busy during the dreaded 2ww. To everyone else - have fun with the shots (I look forward to them too) and to the first time IVFers - the trigger shot is soooo not terrible! Stress the PIO more,lol.

Hi Yogagirl, being a Denver native, I've known tons of gals who've gone to CCRM. I go to Dr Minjarez and really like her. I know other friends who've gone to Schoolcraft as well as Gustofson. We switched from another group and really like this group. They are a very busy practice (which is one reason we're going there) but really know their stuff!!! I highly recommed this group. Let me know if you need more info!! Terri

Also, I feel like I'm being a shot addict. I look forward to giving myself all these shots. How crazy is that?

Elizabeth, I just got back from CCRM and your numbers sound good. The nurse said 0.7-1 for follicle size is good. The other important thing is that their all around the same size. On my right I have 6 follicles but some are big, med and small. She thinks some will drop off (survival of the fittest). My left is more uniform and she was more happy with that. I don't remember the uterine lining measurement, but they said mine was starting to thicken which is what they want. Hope this helps, Terri

Started the Lupron today...was not half as bad as I thought it would be....we also did the baseline US and practiced the catheter for the ET....the RE said all went well so that is making me very hopeful!!

to those in the 2ww and to everyone going through this process!!! We will all be soon!!

She also said that 2 eggs had fertilized abnormally, but that this happens all the time and not to worry about it. They are culturing 7 embryos for a 5 day transfer on Sat (provided OHSS doesn't kick in too bad), and froze the other 10. So we'll see... I won't know until transfer day if my OHSS is going to be a problem since they'll do another u/s then, unless I have major symptoms before then. Hopefully not and the ET will proceed as planned!

Take care and good luck to all of us!

Kelly ~ Wonderful!!! I am so happy for you!! Take it easy the next few days!

Hi Terri! Rachael just called with my b/w numbers and said my E2 was at 829. The RE I saw locally stopped counting follicles at 8 but the nurse said that my E2 is too high to only have 8 so I'm anxious to see what they saw on Thursday.

Do you know of any fun activities going on that we could take my son to? He's 3 and so far I think we will go to the zoo, aquarium, and the farmers market. Any other suggestions. Oh and my husband and sil are doing the indoor skydiving. I wish I could do that but don't think it would be too good for the follicles lol.

I had 14 follicles before I started stims. I am doing the trigger shot tonight and I have 9 mature follies right now.
