Anybody else just started or will be starting their IVF??

I have just started my first ever IVF cycle 4 days ago and would like to share this experience with other ladies that are doing it at the same time.  I am doing an antagonist cycle and am on 300iu of Gonal F.

Yes that's very early to see the yolk - that's a very good sign!  I had my ultrasound yesterday at 6 weeks exactly and saw the yolk, the fetal pole and the heartbeat!  I'm still in shock as I was only expecting to the the yolk sac at the most.  You will definately see the heartbeats at 6 weeks since you are developing so quickly.  Yep I'm feeling much better - the fluid in my abdomen is receeding which is good, my ovaries are still really swollen but not giving me too much pain.

I know Iwas thinking about you when I went for my US. I am 5 weeks.and maybe a day. the yoke was just a little white dot. I posted my US pic in my pics. we go again MON to have a 2nd look at the yoke but I seeem to be ahead alot my beta was 5700 @ 18dp3dt they didnt even call me with it said it disnt matter since we had the US but I called them anyways..mon I should be 6 weeks and they may slight chance see the HB if not the next week. Are you feeling better? My ovaries are still causing me pain and cramping but not any worse then before

Yay that's awesome - twins!  That is pretty early to be seeing the yolk sacs isn't it??  How far along are you now??  Hey don't let them tell you it's too late in the game to have OHSS - I've just been in hospital all weekend with it and had no idea I even had it and I'm 6 weeks now.  Apparently pregnancy can make it worse.

alright I had my 2nd Beta today and US . I have been having cramping oin my thighs and my lower abdominal area for days now. the US showed my ovaries are still huge with a few 13cm follies in there and they said that them shrinking or like cysts exploding will be causing the cramps and they said from the looks of mine they are surprised that I want in more pain. I asked if I had OHSS going on but hey said no alittle too late for that but just keep an eye and if it gets worse pain wise they can give me another US.
My beta is not back but the Dr said its not needed because they saw 2 lovely sacs and what looks like a white dot in each-yoke. WOW  TWINS..... lord help me. My DH is still in shock. lol. we have another US  mon 3/12 to confirm the yoke and see if a faint HB is there and then a 3rd US mon 3/19 to find HB's. I have my pics but have to figure out how to upload. .
Good luck to everyone. .
