Looking for anyone beginning their IVF cycles  around September 2010 told i needed to reach out and connect with someone who is going through the same thing as the DH and I. Please contact me if possible. Very interested in the success stories also since this will be our first time.

Hi Ladies,

I just had my egg retrieval on Mon Sept 6th and will probably transfer on the 9th which happens to be my birthday.  This is our 2nd fresh IVF.  The first resulted in a chemical pregnancy at 5 1/2 weeks.  This time they only retrieved 7 eggs and 5 were fertilized via ICSI.  I now awaiting the dreadful phone call as to when will the transfer be and as to how my 5 eggs are coming along.  Im very worried as last cycle they retrieved 14, 10 were ICSI and 6 made it to day 3 transfer. The remaining 3 never made it to be frozen.  Im sooooo worried as this will be our last attempt due to financial reasons.  We are completely self-pay.  Well ladies wish me luck and pray for us as we need desperately.  I will be 39 tomorrow and time is not on my side.  Good luck to all of you in this same endeavor.

so i am 10 days from retreival and my doctors office called to say oh your insurance decided they won't cover the cycle so either come up 11000 dollars by monday or we have to cancel the cycle. so my day  has been absolute crap and so far it looks like we are out and our dreams of parenthood are shattered i just wanna tell my husband to find someone who can have children for him since i cant

Try Gatorade... I have heard that helps with the bloating. As for getting your numbers down I have No idea... Sorry!

AFM- shg is next Tuesday and blood work for clotting and antibodies all came back normal. So as long as the shg looks good I am in for transfer in October, start my meds in 2 weeks!

Hi Everyone! I'm new here and jumping on board for the IVF September cycle.... all looked great until getting the news from the nurse today- stopping all stim meds other than the Lupron- ovaries are overstimmed and E2 levels are exceding 8000. :( So, until they drop below 4000 no injection of Ovidrel and no egg retrieval. I'm told that I have 'more follicles than they want to count' all at the 15-18mm range. I seriously feel like I'm going to burst. Sorry to rant but does anyone have any suggestions on perhaps something to do to lower the estradial levels??? I'm really looking forward to NOT feeling like the goodyear blimp anymore....

I hope all of you are doing well with your meds and sending lots of hugs and baby dust to all!!!

So i did my gonal f injection 225 units, and my microdose ovidrel 10 units, all about 20 minutes ago neither were bad the worst part was my being stabbed in the end of the thumb, with the little insulin needle while trying to be responsible and recap it to place it in my sharps container. this is so sad, but i guess its ok since the injections themselves didn't hurt. so here is my list of daily medications:

AM
Lupron 5 units
Prenatal vitamin

PM
Baby Aspirin 81mg
Gonal f 225 units
Microdose Ovidrel  10 units

and this shall continue this way until Wednesday when i make another trip to the doctor for a scan and bloodwork... baseline looked awesome, ovaries were completely supressed so lets grow little follies lets grow.

so it looks like i am 2nd in line for retreival and hopefully we will ALL get BFP by November 1st this is so exciting i will have you all in my prayers SSBD and keep us updated on status and with any questions....

13 DAYS TO RETREIVAL

Love
Randi
