Nearing the end of NOV 28 IVF Cycle!!

Conoshia · #1 December 6th, 2011, 01:52 PM

Hello Ladies,

I am such a newbie...as I just joined the club today! I am so excited that ET is FRIDAY (just 3 days away).

Ok here's my story. I'm 28 (very fertile). In my first marriage I got pregnant twice back to back. With my new hubby we tried for 2 years and finally got pregnant. For unexplained reasons we miscarried at 14 weeks gestation. I knew something was wrong. I've never had pregnancy issues. So we went to a fertility clinic and sure enough his sperm is as low as it gets. Motility, morph, you name it. This was earlier this year. So now here we are...nearing the end of our first cycle. They retrieved 27 eggs. Most of them were small bc I had to stop using Menopur and Follistim due to high estrogen. The high number of eggs had my E2 at 6000!!! I really thought I was going to be cancelled. But luckily the coasting helped a ton! My estrogen dropped and I could FINALLY trigger. Out of 27 eggs, 11 were mature...11 fertilized. Now we wait on the update of the embryos. Because of my age and egg quality, my dr only wants to transfer two so two it is!

Can't wait to see how our embies are holding up! :-)

Wow! Good for you! How did the transfer go? I hope you have some snowbabies too!

Good luck.

Great news for my 3Day Report!!!!! We have 5 excellent embryos (6-8 cells and grade 1), 2 average (6-8 cells and grade2). The hubby and I cnnot tell you in words how happy we are!!! God is sooo good! :-) Transfer is Friday at 4pm so wish me luck! :-)

KMH · #6 December 7th, 2011, 12:59 PM

Wow, that is amazing! I hope they continue to grow and flourish...I'll have everything crossed for a smooth transfer. When do they let you do a beta?

Conoshia · #7 December 7th, 2011, 01:15 PM

Thanks KMH. First beta is 10 days after ET. You know I'm going to be a complete and total mess waiting that long!! lol

Sweetpea79 · #8 December 7th, 2011, 01:34 PM

GOOD LUCK!!! Lots of baby dust

KMH · #9 December 7th, 2011, 01:53 PM

My first beta was 9 days after the transfer, and yes...I thought I was going to lose my mind

Do you plan to test at home while you wait?

Conoshia · #10 December 7th, 2011, 02:56 PM

No.. I'm going to wait it out, girl. I don't wanna risk a false positive. Its going to be hard!! Did you test at home before your beta?

Did I test at home?

I think these will provide the answer:

I know I remember Melissa peeing on a stick or twenty.....LMBO!

kayakr · #13 December 8th, 2011, 08:59 AM

Melissa that is funny! I am laughing hard. I just kept scrolling and scrolling to see more tests. LOL

Good Luck Coroshia!! I hope you have the BFP you are looking for. I hope your little embros are super strong and healthy for Friday!

KMH · #14 December 8th, 2011, 09:20 AM

The sad thing is, there are more pics that I didn't include

My goal is to be less neurotic about testing this time. Then again, I bought HPTs in bulk on Amazon.com earlier this week, so it isn't looking good for me

*JenJen* · #15 December 8th, 2011, 09:25 AM

Melissa, if you beat my record for my last cycle, I'll give you a shiny gold star and turn over the title of obsessive peestick queen.

KMH · #16 December 8th, 2011, 09:26 AM

I love a challenge

Conoshia, I'm so sorry we have hijacked your thread. I hope those embies are still going strong and that your transfer goes great tomorrow!!

As you might have guessed, we're all hoping you'll test before your beta

Conoshia · #17 December 8th, 2011, 04:39 PM

Wow KMH! lol You are officially Mrs POAS! lol Thanks for the best wishes ladies! Im so amped for my ET tomorrow! I had to see my dr today for all this irritating bloating Im experiencing. I have
Fluid in my belly as it turns out. So Im on meds to help get rid of it. Keep me in your prayers.

Conoshia · #18 December 9th, 2011, 09:21 PM

My ET went great!!! Transferred 2 perfect blasts and we have 8 perfect snow babies. Now we wait. How soon can I take a HPT to get a true positive?

KMH · #19 December 10th, 2011, 06:26 AM

That is amazing news, Conoshia! So happy that you had lots of nice, strong embryos to choose from.

The general rule is that the trigger shot takes 1 day for every 1000 units (the standard trigger is 10,000 units). I always test every day with a cheapie test until I get a negative, then I know when I see a BFP it is the real deal. Good luck!!

Conoshia · #20 December 10th, 2011, 01:47 PM

Oh my, that's a lot of testing lol. I'm just going to wait. Only 9 more days anyhow. I'll just keep myself busy with wrapping gifts and finishing up my decorations. :-) Thanks! I will let you guys know the outcome but I am more than positive that both babies will take! :-)
