February IVF-ers!!!

[peppypeep]

I wanted to start this thread if anyone is interested in having a cycle buddy for a Feb. IVF.
I know its a little early, but I'm on the antagonist protocol and am done with the bc pills. I will
have my u/s on Sun. Jan 31 and if all goes well, I will start my stims.
I turned 40 one month ago. I spoke with the IVF nurse and she estimates my egg retrieval for Feb 9 or 10.
I will have a 3 day transfer possibly on Feb 12 or 13.  Really excited and hope there are others out there who need some company.  Right now I don't have to take anything, so I am just floating along here until my u/s.  
Anyone with ivf  stories is also welcome.

Hello Peppypeep,

I really appreciate your posts.  You are so optimistic.  I'm really keeping my fingers crossed for you!  Be sure to update us on the blood test.  I had my retrieval on February 9 where they took 11 eggs and 9 matured.  I thin 4 fertilized but only 2 transfered.  The positive thing is that they were both day 6 embies at the Blastocyst stage which, combined with assisted hatching is supposed to increase my chances of success.  The transfer was Feb 16 and my pregnancy test will be Feb 27.  These have been the longest days of my life!  My problem right now is that I'm spotting on and off since Sunday and have been cramping on and off since Saturday.  The spotting turned to bleeding today and now I'm REALLY worried.  I'm trying not to lose hope but what does this all mean.  I am certainly very irritable and am not sleeping the best.  I'm just not sure what to do with myself.  When I went for my hormone level testing they added estrogen to my progesterone.  I'm not sure what impact these are having.

Hi everyone!!!
I have my first ultrasound this Friday to see my follies. I'm on max dosis because last time I only had three eggs. This is my fourth IVF. retreival/transfer is March 5-9 more or less

I am on 300 follistim and was on two menopur powders. but on cd 11 it was upped to 3 powders. i usually have follies with just follistim when i was doing iui. now i only had 3 follies over 10 (14,12,11) on cd11 with the extra drugs. i had a lot of follies less than 10 though. RE says i am just slow and that the estrace i took in the upfront slows things down. i hope that is the case.

Hi all! Tomorrow is first u/s..feel pretty good and excited to see what is going on!

Alice- 4 embryos sounds great! My Re will not transfer more then 2...even 3 would make me feel better!

I am on 375 of follistim, 20 of lupron and 1 pwder of menopur...what have all you ladies been on? I am trying to figure out what is a typical med for ivf...!
