Thanks :)
I know I will lose a couple due to size (1 is 22, another 24 and I have two that are 13) but it is still the best I have had by far. The most eggs I've had is four. Big difference! I just hope the quality is there :pray:

Way to go N2L :)
Best of luck :)
Well done my turn and N2L that's awesome!!!! So happy for you both!!! Xxx
Wow, sounds like great news all round! Congrats ladies!! :dance:
congratulations n2l that is awesome
afm still no sign of af and did another poas this morning. still looks like a bfn unless I squint and let myself believe their may be the faintest of faint second line. going to give it a few more days and see. I have an appointment on Thursday for referral to the fs so if dear af isn't visiting by then I can also to the doctor
n2l - :o what a shock! im so pleased for you, after all those extra drugs, 3 months break preparing, feeling like crap etc - its great to see it has made a difference. im at home smiling to myself thinking about it. :)
kerbear - great news on your follicles too! and even better that your lining has thickened up, i hope you get to transfer this month. xx
myturn - great news for you too... nov/dec sounds like it has been a great time for stim cycles. you must be pleased. :)
kbudgie - goodluck for your appt thurs... keep us posted with those poas's. ;)
Myturn - good luck with EPU wed and that you get lots of eggs.
I hear you with the feeling like your ovaries are going to explode, I am so sore and I am prettified that we will finally get the go ahead for transfer and I will get ohss, I have been feeling really sick and not good for the last few days. I am hoping it goes after EPU since we have never had this many with nearly all big.
N2l - was so hoping there were more there for you, good luck with EPU.
I do hope we all have good hauls, great fertilization and successful transfers xo
I hope we all do too Kerbear!
Strangely enough I don't actually feel that sore. I have no signs of OHSS at the moment. No fluid apparently. My E2 was tested this morning. Not sure of result yet.
I still feel like crap though. I am tired and spacy and want to do nothing.
Oh, and here's something new...My FS is considering doing the retrieval laproscopically instead of vaginally so he gets better access to my ovaries! I've never heard of that!
Wow, you really are having the works this time :o
I have never heard of laproscopically either. FX its the way to go. I hate when you have eggs and they cant get to them.
Nurse just called. Trigger at 12.30am tonight.
Pickup at 12.30pm Wednesday. They have put me last on the list in case I need to have a lap retrieval.
goodluck, hope they can get them all out the old fashioned way. ; )
Hi all!
Wow n2l- that's great news!!! Fx'd for good numbers!!!
I had my progesterone level checked today (7dpo) and it is 75.2... Does anyone know what it should be and if this is high or not???
jo - they usually look for anything over 20-30, so 75.2 is very good. i had a progesterone level in the 300's once, so it can get higher - but high progesterone is not a problem, its a good thing. goodluck. :)
N2l I have never heard of that but I imagine recovery would be a little slower if they do a laparoscopy since it is in through tummy. I hope they dont have to do that but if they need to for the eggs then I guess it would be worth it.
What a yuck time for a trigger :-(
Good luck xo
DR just called me.... Only 2 other embryo's made it to day 5 freeze.
So out of 10 eggs collected- only total of 3 made it :( :(
This has made me really sad!
On a side note- if they weren't looking good- why not freeze at day3?
What's the difference?
Hey Emma, last haul I had 9 eggs collected and only got 3 embryos. One of them is happily baking away inside me :) don't be too hard in yourself! Xxx
Emma I am so sorry you lost some more. I think it depends on the clinics and what they think is best at the time depending on each individual circumstance. I am hoping you won't be needing the ones in the freezer. I agree with Amy jellybean don't be to hard on yourself. I ask my clinic everything so I can understand the divisions they make.
Maybe have a chat to them and they might be able to explain why they wanted them to go past day 2/3.
Sending you a big hug xo
Emma that actually sounds pretty good by my FS standards!! He said that you might et about 10 - 12 eggs in the first place, and 8 might fertilise and then you'd get two or three embryos that were okay for transfer!! So far, I have only had one cycle where there were leftovers, so you're doing pretty well to get three to day 5! I know it doesn't change how you feel right now, and maybe you've had more in the past (I can't recall your previous hauls!), but it reality that sounds like great numbers xox :hug:
N2L -lap OPU sounds annoying!!! Hopefully you don't have to do that, but if it brings in a bigger load then - well, I guess it's just another in the long line of sacrifices you have to make for the little blobs ;) Hope you feel better soon - glad there's no OHSS signs.... I'm all good here too... just really sore belly - but makes sense with 8 follicles at 2cm diameter in each ovary!!!
Kerbear - hope you are feeling okay about everything :hug: I assume that if they get everything and suck it all out you'll be right and avoid the OHSS.... it feels pretty crappy, but I got the signs after EPU - the next day my belly up higher - right under ( . )( . )'s was very tight and sore - then just got worse because of the pregnyl... needless to say I have avoided the pregnyl this time - back to the crinone for me!!!
Jo - yeah my nurse told me when I had my BFP that anything over 30 was great - at the time I was 720!!!! so looks like you are lined up for a successful month - all going well!!
kbudgie - sorry it wasn't the news you wanted, I hope the FS has a good plan for you x
AFM - trigger done... I'm first on the list for Wednesday EPU, so we have to get there at 7am!!! painful! Now at least that they are doing all the procedures at the Mt Waverley site, I at least don't have to go into the city to get it done - which is much better ;)
Going to ignore all the dramas happening with my dad this week and just focus on me and DH.... (well, at least I'll try!)
Hope everyone else is going okay :grouphug:
Thanks my turn, has some weird pains in my sides today near my ribs, feeling crap and sore and just hope my gut feeling that it's only going to get worse is wrong. I just feel very different this time and it's off putting.
Sounds like you have a good focus this week away from your family and what's going on with them. Yay for trigger, hope you do ok and get lots of good eggies :-). Glad you don't have signs of ohss this time xo
I am feeling uncomfortable tonight. It's been good up until now :(
I wonder if it was all the pushing and prodding with the ultrasound.
Eta - forgot to mention, I actually have 33 follicles!! 17 on right, 16 on left. Just 18 that are over 13mm.
WTF!!!??!!! :o:
ouch!!!! and they only saw 3 originally....!! someone did a crap job of that scan!
sorry you are feeling bad :hug:
Thing is though, the woman who found them all today with the external scan, did an internal scan immediately after. She could only see two on my right ovary using the dildo cam. Mind you, she wasnt looking hard.
She said to always ask for an external scan in this situation.
It's amazing isn't it! If I get eight eggs I will be rapt! My biggest haul to date is four!
I'm just so excited for you! To have a few 'leftovers' will be awesome!!! I know you are nearing the end of your journey, so to come out of a stim cycle with a couple of options is just the best best best news!!!!
weird about the dildo cam thing.... they do have some trouble seeing one of my ovaries, and the nurse today said she wouldn't be surprised if there were a couple of hidden ones in there that she couldn't see... but there's big black holes on the screen - and even with my untrained eyes I can see them! With all those follicles n2l, i seriously think you will get a few more than 4!!!!! hopefully 4 embies for transfer!!!
Excellent numbers N2L :)
Fingers crossed for N2L and Myturn :)
Thanks myturn, your post made me feel better and thanks Amy for popping in.
I just felt sad cause I think that EPU will be my last, it's hard on my DD and DH.
Last time I got 7 eggs and 3 made it to day 5, so 3 must be a lucky number.
Hopefully I won't need another EPU, but we'll cross that bridge when we come to it.
Thanks for the support ladies xx
Trying not to get my hopes up? It really is quality over quantity!
Emma you've had a tough year, so be kind to yourself. I know you probably don't want to hear this (but I can't help myself, and I will say it anyway ;) ) ... you have heaps of time sweetie - you can save up for another cycle in a couple of years if this one doesn't go the way we all hope it does for you xoxo I hope you don't need to, but there is that option.
Try not to get too far ahead of yourself, just stay in the moment ;) Enjoy it while it's happening, because if it sticks, you will want to remember every joyous step in it's beautiful entirety.
xoxo :hug:
Thanks Myturn- my voice of reason :)
It's not the money, it's the emotional and physical energy it takes for a stim cycle- I find them really hard :(
I wish none of us had to be on this journey- it sucks :hug:
Sook over for tonight :p
That's for sure.... (but it's surely hard not to be hopeful!!! ..... I can feel all my claims about thinking this cycle is not going to work disappearing and the excitement of the good follicle count bubbling away :) ) perhaps my mood is rubbing off on you.... ;):
:
lol ;) well my theory still applies ;) You can regroup, and start again when you are over 30 :o
I wish we didn't have to be here either.... but having said that, I would never have 'met' you guys in here, and that's been the best thing about this whole damn process.... xxx
N2l - my gosh if you have that many in there no wonder you feel uncomfortable. I only have 14 measuring about 20 mm on 10 of them and I feel sore and sick, I can only imagine how you feel.
I feel sick so I think it might be best to go to bed early before EPU tomorrow :-(
N2l - I'm so happy for you, Good Luck with EPU i will be thinking of you xxx
N2L, wow that's a lot hiding. FX for high quality too.
Emma and Myturn, I agree it bites to be here, but the women here are awesome. I have made IRL friendships with women I have met here.
Kerbear, good luck today. I hope it is just nerves making you feel off colour, not ohss. Here's to a nice haul of quality eggies.
AFM, one sleep to go. Am nervous. I want to think positively but at the same time I don't want to set myself up for disappointment, yet at the same time I don't want to think it may not work coz I don't want to put negative thoughts out there. Argh! Come on December 14 (test day)
Thanks miloro - sitting at hospital all gowned up waiting to start
Good luck tomorrow miloro
Good luck Kerbear!!
Good luck and fx'd for you today kerbear!!! xxx
best of luck, kerbear. : )
Good luck Kerbear!
Good luck for today Kerbear! Fx for you.
Good luck Ker!!
Emma - My last stim produced 9 eggs. 3 got to day three. I had 2 put back in and one managed to stick. I still have one on ice. It was our last ever stim. Strangely cycling gets easier (for me) the more I did. I just ignored everything, went into denial, didn't talk about it (apart from on here) and just got on with it. I left the emotional side of it at the door so to speak.
Thanks everyone for your well wishes.
We have had 6 eggs collected, I feel like its Groundhog Day....it's always 6. I just hope the outcome is better over the next few days than previous cycles. I am sore so as soon as they let me out I am going home to bed.
