Just really excited but at the same time don't want to get my hopes up iykwim ....
How is everyone??
Bf?
Wmm??
Anyone else here ?
Lu that is awesome!!! Well done!!! Sounds like FS hit the nail on the head for you this time! Good luck with the trigger - that is a mega shot injection isn't it?
I know what you mean about not getting your hopes up but staying positive can only help! :)
AFM I'm still just waiting for our work up to be completed, we are up to about week 4 of potentially 12, but with Christmas and New Year I'm not sure if that will be pushed back a bit. The patient liaison person (who we both loved, she was so great) said she would call me with an update at 8 weeks.
Will be waiting for your news on Thurs Lu!
Hi to you WMM!!
Great news Lu!!!!
Not much happening here, the usual grind... Baby... Housework... Sewing... More housework LOL.
Hi BF!!!!!!!
xo
Hey off for EPU tomorrow....... Nervous as per usual .... I have this fear that I've stuffed my meds up especially the trigger !!!
Take care ladies!!!
Good luck Lu! Will be thinking of you, hope all goes smooth. xo
Hi ladies...
I'm very happy !!! 19 egg retrieved
1 is not mature definitely
3- 4 are boarder line.....
Overall great numbers for me
Just a question I usually do the pregnal shots but apparently they have run out world wide (not sure if thats true)
Now they have given me crinone gel things...
Has anyone used these???
Opinions????
Do they go in the fridge???
It's a bit gross
Anyway have a great day!!!
Lu I am sooo happy for you - great numbers!!!! Go you little embies!!! Keep us posted!
No idea on the crinone / pregnyl question sorry love.
Crinone gave me nightmares so I changed from using them at night to using them in the morning. They are a bit yuck though.
Glad you have such promising numbers!
Thanks bf
Kmn did u do one or 2 a day I need to do it twice daily
Eew
I had one a day. It started out OK, but after a few days I had freaky dreams and couldn't sleep - though according to the nurse that was very unusual!
Yaaayyy Lu! Wonderful news!!!
Yep crinone is very gross but I much preferred it to the pregnyl. I had two per day. Prepare yourself for a build up, clumps may fall out which you might confuse with brownish blood. Sometimes you may need to give yourself a bit of a scoop out but ask your nurses first. Just keep good contact with them if you get worried about any 'side effects'.
Hey Lu how are you feeling?? Recovering from EPU ok?
Stalking for fertility report.....
Hey ladies thanks for thinking of me
Good news 15 out of 19 fertilized!!!
Feeling sore and bloated but nurse said that was to be expected
Hope u are all well
Fingers crossed for Sunday update!
Oh wow - awesome awesome Lu!!!!!!

Rest up, lots of water & pineapple juice so they say!!! :dance:

Hope everyone is well
5 more sleeps unless af shows b4 .....
Just a question when can I poas ?? And will it be affected by the crinone??
Very tempted yet scared its a bfn ...
Hi Luisella,
The crinone won't effect a home pregnancy test, but your trigger shot does (contains synthetic hcg), and so do some of the IVF meds (but not all so just check your meds).
With the trigger shot, the number of days it will effect a pregnancy test depends on the dose you had to take. I personally took hpt's from a couple of days after embryo transfer so I could watch the positive line on the tests get lighter and lighter, then kept testing and watched the pregnancy line get darker again as I had conceived.
Here's a picture of my tests. It's hard to tell, but the first two have very faint lines, then it goes away, then the line gets progressively darker again.
To work out how long it should take to be gone based on your dose you can do a little maths. This is how you do it:
1. Work out how many units of hcg was in your trigger shot (10,000 is pretty common...)
2. The hcg has a half life of around 24-36 hours, so every at least 36 hours the hcg level has halved.
3. Starting from the hour you gave yourself the shot, add 36 hours (just to be on the safe side) and halve the hcg level.
4. Check how sensitive the hpt's are that you are using and when you calculations of the synthetic hcg level are lower than the sensitivity level of the hpt, then it should come up negative if you are not pregnant. If it comes up positive then it should mean you are pregnant :)
For example:
If you say you took the trigger shot at 0 hours and you had 10,000 units of hcg, then you calculations would look like this...
0 hours - 10,000 units hcg
36 hours - 5,000 units hcg
72 hours - 2,500 units hcg
108 hours - 1250 units hcg
144 hours - 625 units hcg
180 hours - 313 units hcg
216 hours - 156 units hcg
254 hours - 78 units hcg
288 hours - 39 units hcg
324 hours - 20 unit hcg
360 hours - 10 units hcg
If your hpt's have a sensitivity of say 100 units, then you should be able to test around the 254 hour mark (day 10-11).
This is based on the highest limit of the half-life, so you could probably test even earlier, but you couldn't be 100% sure of the result.

Thanks for that!! Mylitta
I think I'll wait I have a feeling af will show soon...... Don't want to be disappointed twice
...just going crazy.... Just need to know"........
Wow it's really interesting to see that info!
My FS said nothing can give a false positive. Silly woman ;)
Fwiw Lu my line wasn't really clear even after my positive BT. So you never can tell!
