ER soon I hope..

Had BW and US this morning - on day 6 of stims; had 7 large follicles, and the nurse said she saw a lot of smaller ones that were "almost there" and she expects them to mature soon... She also said my doctor likes them to be a bit larger, so she wants me to do another US either tomorrow or thurs; they'll be calling shortly to let me know when; She said most likely ER this weekend... This is IVF#1 and I freak about EVERYTHING and I'm a wreck because of nerves... IDK why I'm posting, maybe to see if this sounds like what anyone else has experienced? Thanks.

Sounds pretty typical. Hang in there!

You'll probably have a few more days of stims. Depending on your estrogen levels and follicle size they might adjust your dosage. Sounds like everything is going okay for you so far. Try not to worry too much!

Don't worry about the er - it was not bad.  I thought that it was going to be terrible but it really wasn't.  I was a little bit sore that day and the next day but I still went to work (would have been better probably if I could have stayed home.)  But to me, the meds were way worse than the procedure.  Good luck!

Sounds normal. Hang in there! I had several more follies develop over my last night than they expected. I'm also a worrier. While not a picnic, everything went smoothly. Mine didn't result in a BFP, but the process was acceptable and I'm just about to start my second. Good luck to you!

My (old) BLOG: www.ivfbabyquest.wordpress.com

Natural PG 9/27/11; MC at 8wks. Used Cytotec to expel: 1/20/12 (unpleasant)
First RE visit: 8/8/12, Saline Sonogram: 8/28/12(4cm unknown mass in upper left of uterus) 2nd Saline Sonogram: 10/2/12 (mass disappeared!) IVF injection class: 10/11/12
IVF #1: 10/17/12 Baseline: FSH- 9.4, E2- 24, LH- 3.7, Progesterone- 0.3. 6 follicles in my right ovary & 9 in my left. Rx: 150 Bravelle & 150 Menopur SQ in AM. 10/21/12: Add Ganirelix SQ in PM. 10/26/12: hCG Trigger IM. ER 10/28/12: 13R, 7M, 6F. 5 Made it to PGS. ET 11/2/12: CANCELED. PGS: All 5 have "severe abnormalities." Devastated. Begged RE for back-to-back IVFs; Started Provera 11/2/12. AF said FU and came anyway, destroying any chance for a Dec IVF. Maxed out lifetime IF meds insurance. I can barely breathe, waiting to get through this process, hoping for my take-home-baby.

RE recommends we stop trying and focus on living childless, due to the repeated extremely poor quality of my eggs. I don't even know what to do with that.

IVF #4 (FINAL) (Added acupuncture to this cycle.): 3/25/13 WTF & Baseline: FSH-11.8, E2- 56, Progesterone- 0.84 3/26/13 Start stims. 3/30/13 u/s: 5 follicles in my right ovary & 4 in my left. Rx: 225 Bravelle & 225 Menopur SQ in PM. 3/31/13 Add Ganirelix SQ in AM. hCG Trigger 4/3/13 SQ. 4/5/13 ER: 5R, 3M, 3F naturally.

No DE or adoption for us, FIRM.
That’s it for us. I am beyond devastated and have no idea how to proceed from here. My life has been forever altered by this experience. Best wishes to all in their journeys!
