Hi ladies! Sorry again for the formatting with the checkin, the internet is out and I posted with my phone!!

Congrats to our BFPs and hugs to those who need them.

Another edit: just got the fert report. Out of the 18 retrieved, 15 were mature and 11 fertilized with ICSI!!

Good morning! Congrats to the BFPs and hugs to all the Polar Bears who need them.

I went for monitoring yesterday and my E2 was 504 and I had six measurable follies and a few smaller ones. I continued with Gonal F and Menopur and added Ganirelix. I go back tomorrow for another monitoring appointment. Guessing ER will be by the end of the week.

QOTD: I very rarely get them, but I love a decaf nonfat caramel macchiato from Starbucks as a treat!

ER is tomorrow!!!! First IVF. My E2 is 2000 and they *think* they have at least 12 follicles, maybe more. Left ovary is shy so hopefully it pops back out for an easy retrieval! GL everyone!

Sorry to hear about the BFNs from KFlynn and Jenn.

Congrats to the BFPS so far :)

So I had my egg retrieval last Thursday.  We were really happy to get 5 eggs. My Doctor seemed pleased too and said we are ready to move on to the next step. So once I start my period - I call in to the office and will start my FET process. I am still trying to figure out the timing of it. I have no idea how long it will take. I am very nervous though because as of now - I just have eggs on ice.  They'll be fertilized just days before the transfer. So my biggest fear is that I'll get to the big day and have no healthy embryos. BUT - I am trying to think positive and not worry so much.  Easier said than done!

Good luck to everyone :)
Me:38 - TTC for 3+years - Multiple failed IUIs (w/clomid, femara,injectibles - all BFNs) IVF #1 - Jan 2012, CP -IVF#2 March 2012, CP - Went back to IUIs all summer. Multi-Cycle Egg banking for FET. Egg retrieval #1 October, 2 frosties. Retrieval#2 January 2013. 6 eggs banked - waiting to be fertilized in March, FET March! FET - cancelled because zero eggs survived thaw process. April IUI, BFP - Beta #1 - 43, Beta #2 - 78, Beta #3 dropped, another CP. May IUI with Femara.

HI all, not sure if it is to late for me to jump in here. Completely understand if it is!

I just found out that i am triggering tonight.  This will be my first completed IVF cycle.   

I started Stimming on Sunday the 13th of January, I am doing an antagonist protocol.  Was on BC for 23 days before stims.  Then I did 4 days of Follistim, on day 5 added in Menopur and Ganirelix...and continued those three meds until last night, which was my last night of stim injections.  I trigger with IM HCG shot tonight and my egg retrieval is on Thursday morning 1-24.  My ET is tentatively scheduled for 1-29.

I am nervous and excited.  

 Hope everything goes well for everyone else!  You are all in my thoughts

Namaste

Hi my beautiful bears! <3 I just want to offer more love to the ladies with BFN, and hugs to anyone that needs them

Update: So had my monitoring appt yesterday, and there is a total of 13 follies in the game. She thinks def. 10 eggs will be ready, and maybe 3 more. Left side is slower than right, always lol. She is now thinking Fri or Sat will be the ER date.The fun part is I am thinking it will happen Fri, and there is a snow storm coming, but they are not sure how much we will get. Hopefully just a light dusting. We decided that we are freezing this round, so I am excited about that. Hopefully there will be something to freeze. I go back Wed at 9am EST to see if I trigger Wed night or Thurs.

I love coffee, the starbucks Pumpkin spice Latte is my fav to be honest or the marble macchiato. Now if we are talking drinks, I love a candle apple. It is apple cider and caramel vodka. Party in your mouth. <3

That is great news that there was one to freeze! That is interesting that they give you a booster shot of HCG well after transfer. I have never heard of that before.Wishing you a great beta on 1/31 <3

FET #1 is scheduled for tomorrow. I went for lining check on Friday and it was an 8...which of course leads to Googling and anow I'm worried that's too thin.

Anyway. PIO shots are not fun at all. And I realized my husband is going to be traveling for 5 days before test day and I don't know what I'm supposed to do about the PIO shots. I'll have to ask tomorrow if there's a muscle that I can reach so I can do it myself...or if I can use Crinone instead? 

I am a hot green tea fan.

Hello everyone!

I wish everybody all the best, be it for cycling, waiting or healing  <3

I'm now 6dp3dt and the hcg booster is still in my system, ugh! I've had 4 transfers and learnt nothing from them. I am, of course, obsessing about every little symptom. Am I feeling different from all the other times? Do my BBs hurt? Do they hurt more or less than yesterday? Wait, was that a cramp? Hmm, I'm peeing all the time, so... This is exhausting... I had a class today about anaesthetics and kept fantasizing about being on propofol until all this is over...   

QOTD: I drink everything at room temperature or hot throughout the year. But in the winter I go up a notch... I hope I don't make anybody gag but I love hot coke with ginger slices. It's a great drink for a common cold, you get some caffeine, some sugar and the ginger clears up your sinuses nice 'n easy. At the moment I'm enjoying different kinds of fruit teas.
Me 32 / DH 36
TTC since 08/2010
Me: Lap in 2007 due to pelvic pain: Dx mild endo
Lap in 2011: ovarian cyst and endo removal

I love catching up with all of you... I have and will continue to keep you all in my prayers!!  So, it looks like I'm going to be a February girl... as of yesterday we are delayed for a cyst and probably won't even start stims until Feb 2nd.  I'll know more of our next steps once my nurse calls me this afternoon but looks like I'll be going back next Monday for another baseline u/s and blood work.  I'm still going to be watching you're check in's to keep up with you all but I might end up joining the February group.  Love to you all!!  <3

My beta is scheduled for Monday. I'm terrified it won't work. I'm sure I'll POAS. I'll probably start testing on Thursday (which would be 5dp5dt).

I love mulled cider!

TTC #1 for Dh, #2 for me. HSG clear. Low AMH and endo. Multiple Clomid w/TI cycles - all BFNs. 2 IUIs with Clomid and 1 with Femara - more BFNs. IVF#1 25R, 15M, 15F. 5DT of two perfect 4AA blasts! Positive HPT at 5dp5dt. Beta #1 6dp5dt - 72. Beta #2 8dp5dt - 285. Beta #3 10dp5dt - 793. Both babies have strong beautiful heartbeats! Baby B miscarried at 7 weeks. Baby A is holding on through miscarrying her twin, sub-chorionic hematoma, and complete placenta previa. Stick, baby, stick!

Good morning! Congrats to the BFPs and hugs to all the Polar Bears who need them. I went for monitoring yesterday and my E2 was 504 and I had six measurable follies and a few smaller ones.

QOTD: I very rarely get them, but I love a decaf nonfat caramel macchiato from Starbucks as a treat!
Yay for 6 follicles rocking it!!!! OOOO looks like we will be end of week together for ER! I got EVERYTHING crossed, this has got to be our cycle lady &lt;3

Hey Ladies! Hope everyone is doing well. I'm in a pretty wretched mood today. I had ER this morning, and out of 16 mature follicles, the only got 10 eggs. I know I shouldn't complain, but I was really hoping for more. And (as mentioned in earlier post) we most likely have to freeze our embryos, if we even have any good ones, and transfer in a few weeks. I had an early surge in progesterone, which can cause problems for implanting embryos. I am so confused by this, as my lining is perfect, and we need progesterone to keep ia good lining. None of this makes any sense to me, and I am so upset and frustrated! But, that's IF, right?! Just trying to rest today and stay as calm as I can. 

QOTD: I don't have any special cold weather drinks. I just stick to plain boring coffee with hazelnut cream.
