ET Update

Sorry I'm a little late in posting this.

We had our day 3 ET on April 20th we transferred two perfect little embryos. The doctor was quite happy with them. I didn't ask what quality they were I didn't want to know as long as they doctor said they were good i was happy. The ET was uncomfortable i was dying to go pee but had to hold it. After the procedure the first question after I got up was "can I go go pee now" the doctor laughed. I went home to take it easy, I also took the next day off. My husband has been making sure i'm doing everything i'm suppose to and never lets me do anything i'm not allowed to do its cute in a way.

So its 6dp3dt and i've been get some cramping that comes and goes. I keep looking for symptoms, but so far that's all I have. I'm already dying to POAS but i'm going to try and hold off till after Thursday as that is two weeks after HCG Shot. I'd like to try to make it to Sunday as my beta is scheduled for May4th. It's going to be along week.

ER Done

Saturday we had our ER done. They retrieved 3 eggs froms the right and then went to the left unfortunately the follicles there had no eggs. I got the call from the nurse yesterday that all eggs were mature and had fertilized. Today my regular nurse called and said that one of the eggs had arrested. Tomorrow is day 3 and we will be proceeding with transfer.

My goal thru this whole journey is to have a child. I am hoping this works. After all everyone says that all you need is one.

IVF #2 Update - Day 13

So E2 was 3300 today, we have 6 really good follicles and two that are still ify. The plan is ER on Saturday (YEAAAAAAA)!!!!!!!! I'm so excited to have finally made it thru a cycle. I'm a little nervous about the pain. But I figure with all the injections i've been thru and all the internal ultrasounds that it might not be so bad. I trigger tonight at 9:15pm and will have ER at 9:15am on Saurday.

If your reading this please say a prayer for me. Everyone that knows that I am doing this is what I have asked of them.

Stay tuned for the ER Update!

IVF #2 Update - Day 12

So we have 8 follicles (YEAAAAA) 5 are at a good size between 1.9 & 1.7. The other 3 are still a little bit smaller around 1.1. But the plan is to do one more night of stims hoping that those three follicles grow. The nurse mentioned maybe a possible egg retrival for Saturday. You don't know how happy I was to hear those words. After 8 "cancelled" IUI and one "cancelled" IVF, we might make it thru this time. It's been small steps but I'm happy with that. Someone mentioned to me that I have a lot of patience, and I think i am very patient, this process has taught me that I am.

So now we on the road to hopefully a BFP. The rollercoaster is climbing up high, the ER will be the bump and then it'll be down to BFP.

Stay tuned for the bump.

IVF #2 Update - Day 11

So E2 is at 2300 we have 6 follicles all growing nicely. The plan is to do the orgulatran half dose tonight, contine with the stimming medication tonight. Do another half dose of the orgalutran tomorrow morning and go for another bloodwork and ultrasound.

So were getting there. Slow but steady.

IVF #2 Update - Day 8 - 10

We went back to the clinic on Apr. 10 for day 8 my E2 was at 762, follicle on the right still at 1.4, the two on the left are at 1.1 and 1.3, they scared me by mentioning ths "C" word. But we avoided it and were still stimming. I asked the nurse about converting to IUI if we had too other than cancelling, but everything seems to be on track.

Back to the clinic Apr 11 for day 9 E2 was at 1167, two follicles on the right 1.4,1.3,two on the left 1.1 and 1.3, more stimming.

Back to the clinic for Day 10 E2 was at 1602, we have 5 follicles(yeaaaa) they are still only measuring at between 1.4 and 1.1, more stimming.

Looks like it'll be daily visits to the clinic. Its been a slow steady climb but condsidering we've gotten this far, i'm grateful for whatever I can get.

Stay tuned for update for day 11.

IVF #2 Update - Day 6

Well things are going up really SLOW!! MY E2 was at 344, again not very high. Our munchkins are taking their sweet time to grow we have one leading follicle on the right at 1.4 and two on the left at 0.9. So more medication today and tomorrow and back on Saturday for you guessesd it more bloodwork and ultrasound.

*****GROW FOLLIES GROW********

Saturday I also have an accpunture treatment hopefully it'll be better than the last one because things weren't going fast i was kind of depressed and for some reason couldn't relax and everything was really uncomfortable.

My poor DH hasn't been sleeping well, he said he's was worried for me, i told him i'm sorry but i haven't been sleeping well either. Hopefully we'll all be able to sleep well one day. Althou if the pitter patter of little feet has to keep me up thats ok by me.

IVF #2 Update - Day 4

Well they found another follicle on the left. So we have four on both sides. I picked another two days worth of medication. I go back to the clinic on Thursday.

The clinic just called my estrogen was at 171, they were hoping it would be higher. But hopefully it'll keep going up.

*****Grow embies Grow*****

IVF #2 Update - Day 1

We started the bcp on March 6th, the last one was on March 27th.

Today was our pre-assessment, also considered as my Day 1.

So we signed the paperwork, paid our fee and picked up our meds. Good news, we have four follicles on the right and three on the left. We just need to get them to start growing. I asked about my fsh and the nurse said the last time they checked it was 5.4 (good as they should be under 10). So the nurse just called my E2 levels are at 108 which is good it should be we start Gonal f 450 ( i know that a lot) and Menopur 150mg (that's a lot too) on April 3rd. I go back on April 6th for b/w and u/s again and hopefully my follicles will respond.

I'm still doing the accpunture twice a week. I love it The nurse laughed when i told her i felt like a human pin cushion. Between my insulin, medication and accpunture that's over 25 needles.

We attended the adoption seminar. I liked it. Although i didn't learn anything that i pretty much didn't already know. We are still keeping the adoption open, but were pretty overwhelmed at the process involved.

Happy Easter to everyone. I hope the easter bunny brings us all happy healthy eggs!!!!
