7

7 eggs fertilized. I was hoping for more. I know 7 is good but I can't help but be disappointed.

Better than last time

I am back from my ER. I had 14 eggs, double what I had last time. Everything went smoothly this time thank goodness! I am a little crampy but nothing too terrible. Looking foward to my fert report tomorrow.

Luck of the Irish?

I triggered yesterday and am scheduled Wed @ 7:30 for my ER. Hoping that I'll have some luck of the Irish since it's St. Patrick's Day. My mother thinks I should wear all green. HAHAHA

The shot went well. I iced for 15 min before and I didn't feel a thing. It was bleeding a bit but nothing major.

Praying that I have lots of eggs!

Grow Follies Grow

So far I have been stimming for 5 nights and have been going to blood work and U/S every freaking day. After what happened last cycle the are watching me closely so instead of everyother day U/S it's every day. It works then I'm happy to oblige.

Tonight I will add the Ganirelix to the mix. The nurse thinks I still have about 4 more days till I'm ready to trigger but I think it will be sooner. Wishfull thinking maybe?!?!? I'm starting to get uncomfortable now. I'm crampy and just feel those follies growing.

I have 30 follies all together but 15 are all around the same size and those are the ones they are watching. She said there are 3 more that will probably catch up so she is thing 18 total. WHOOOHOOO much better then my 7 last cycle. Hopefully they will all produce a healthy little egg.

So in very sad news, we had plans last night so I was kind of rushed when I was doing my injection and by accident I pushed the plunger before I stabbed myself and lost half the liquid and had to start over!!! Ihad to throw out 2 bottles of Menopur and 2 bottles of Bravelle. I wasnted to scream. Hopefully I'll still have enough and won't have to order more because of my screw up.

Going to go give my follies a pep talk!

IVF # 2

Yestersday was day 2 of my cycle so off to my baseline I went. Everything looked good so we started injections last night. I took 3 Bravelle and 2 Menopur. A lot more meds than the last cycle, hopefully that'll do the trick. We are looking at an estimated ER date of 3/16 which would make it an ET date of 2/21.

I will update after a few days and give you a follie check and bitch will all my symptoms.

Starting Over

I met with my RE last week to see what he felt went wrong and where do we go from here.

He felt that the Lupron wasn't doing it's job correctly and that is why we only got 7 eggs. I had lots of other small follicles but they other 7 follicles were large and ready to come out so they had no choice but to trigger. He is hoping next time to get lots of follicles that will grow at the same pace.

This time we will be doing an Antagon Protocol. I started BCP's on 2/9 and should see AF the 2nd week of March and then I will start stimming again.

They also froze the 4 poor quality embryos and will thaw them out 3 days before my 5dt and hopefully they will grow some more so we can do PGD on them. The Lab director and RE aren't too optomistic about them but they say it is worth a shot.

In Condo news we are officialy in Contract and will be having the inspection tomorrow afternoon. At least I have the condo to focus on but I must admitt I still spend most of my time focused on IVF and babies. Hopefully my parents and husband will have to do all the packing and unpacking since I will be too tired from early pregnancy to do anything. =)

Cycle Over

Cycle cancelled. No embryos strong enough to be genetically tested.
I had a 1 cell, 2 cell, 3 cell and a 5 cell. Next cycle will be in March. There is are no words to describe how sucky this is.
