Oh, I think ER will be the beginning of next week And that I'll be stopping meds Saturday or Sunday! And all the follies are around 12mm

[lisa41]

Over thirty follies ladies! OMG! I can't believe it! I do NOT feel a thing....STILL. I guess I should consider myself lucky that I don't feel anything, because in a few days it could be a different story! Thank you all for thinking of me!

I'm definitely at high risk for OHSS they said....so I'll keep you guys posted. Hopefully, I won't get it!

Overall, I'm happy and excited!

OMG!!! :celebrate::yeehaw::yeehaw::yeehaw: That is WONDERFUL NEWS!
I am so happy for you. Things are moving right along for you. You will be doing transfer in no time!!

I had my second ultrasound today. Babies have doubles in size. We saw yolk sac. No heartbeat yet. They confused my original time frame so I am five weeks and one day. So probably see heartbeat next week. Dr. says they look very healthy. I am just so happy.

[erinlovesjake2005]

Thanks, Lisa!! That is awesome news for you too!!! :celebrate:

It is a good day!!

[lisa41]

I am just amazed at how well things are going for everyone. This is the most positive group of people. Makes things so much better when you have such a great set of people for support.

OMG ERIN!!!! They are ALL 12!?!?!?! That is so frekin fantastic! you may get to your ER faster than you think if they are all already that big! Holy Cow!!!!!!

[erinlovesjake2005]

I know, Robin!! I was so surprised that they were that size already! I'm sure there were some smaller ones, but she said most were around 11mm or 12mm! Good grief!

Only 28 days til your biopsy!! YAYAYAYA!

[fisherbaby]

Soooo.............today was my day 11 U/S after taking the 12.5 mg Femara cd3-7 and we hit the jackpot!!!!!

There are three follies in each ovary, two of which are above 14.5 on each side, we trigger on Sunday AM and go in for IUI on Monday..........I am dreading the TWW, I am praying this is our month!!!

I was really surprised at how well the 12.5 dosage of Femara went, there were virtually no side effects. Come on

ajf, that will be the very best birthday present ever! I'm sure your DH already put in his order for what he wants (twin boys, maybe?). LOL! Grow, endometrium, grow! Yippee! Thanks for asking how I am, chica. I'm doing really well. Still thrilled and not worried about a thing. Just in a joyous place!

Thanks, malf! You are a peach! How are you doing?

Alma, thank you and I'm so excited to hear that you're almost at 2 months! That seems so quick, so maybe the time will fly by for us all! As for the ticker, click on someone's ticker and it will take you to the site to make your own. Follow the steps to make it, then is will give you a couple of options for your URL. Copy the URL for *message boards* and then go to "Quick Links" in the menu at the top of the APA page. Find "Edit Signature" then scroll down to the "Signature Picture" area. Paste the URL into the first box (the one that says something like "post URL from another website..."). Click save and you're good to go! Good luck!

Oops, I forgot to update about me. I got my second Beta result...

Beta #1 was 116
Beta #2 was 257

Yey! I'm doing well! They also said my progesterone was a little low so now I'm taking 100mg 4x/day instead of 3. I forgot to get the prog. # but sent them an email, so I hope to find out today. In any case, I'm not worried. I'm just dutifully doing whatever I'm told and I still wake up every morning with a huge grin and remind my DH that I'm PG. He's like, "Yes, Honey, I know," but he laughs and I know he's excited, too.

Everyone keep on truckin'! The timing is different for each of us, but we'll all get there, without a doubt!

[francesmcruz]

WOW, Erin, that is AWESOME .
Did they change anything for you to that you won't be at a higher risk of OHSS?

Lisa41, great news on your side too.

It is true, this board is hopping!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Isn't it amazing, Elle?
I still have to remind myself everyday that I am pregnant.
Its like "Wow, what a miracle".

[erinlovesjake2005]

Thanks Alma, Elle, & Frances!!! I'm excited! A little nervous about OHSS, but I know I'm in good hands! Frances, I'm waiting on the call back from my RE to see if my dosage will change or not. She said I'm already on a fairly low dose and that she doubted it would be changing.

[erinlovesjake2005]

I just got a call back from my RE and I have to go get my blood taken again so that they can re-run the estrogen test. My numbers were way too low considering the number of follicles I had....

UGH. I don't know what this means. I'll let you guys know when I hear something....I just hope it isn't bad!

[erinlovesjake2005]

While I'm waiting on my call back, I was wondering if any of you graduates had low e2 levels during stims, but had a TON of follies?

[lisa41]

When do you give blood again for retest? I dont really know about the low e2 thing. Hopefully RE will explain to you soon.

[erinlovesjake2005]

My e2 level went up from 453 to 729! So everything is looking very good right now! I'm definitely staying away from the OHSS range at this point

I feel soooooooooooooooooooooo much better! The plan is to continue the Menopur shots tonight and tomorrow and then my next U/S is on Saturday morning at 8:30!

Erin, Maxine, Elle, and Lisa, Thank you all for your sweet and positive words, they mean so much to me. I love this board for exactly this reason, the positive vibe and support.

[Fia]

Erin: 30 follies! OMG!!! That's amazing!!! I can't believe that very soon you'll be doing ER and ET. I wish you the best!

Elle: Amazing news with your beta! I can't begin to imagine the feeling of finally being pregnant after trying for so long. I'm just so happy for you!

Lisa: So glad to hear the babies are doing great and growing.

Maxine: Good luck tomorrow with your scan. Hope the shots are going better.

Emma: Sorry that you have to wait, I know how frustrating it can be hang in there, time will fly.

ajf: Nov 3, it'll be here before you know it. What a wonderful birthday wish....

Alma: Thanks for you sweet wishes. Glad to hear your pregnancy is going great.

... yesterday was my birthday and DH got me some delicious cupcakes even put a candle and all, anyways, I was so excited to eat the cupcake that I forgot to make my wish. When I told my husband he started laughing and said "I think we both know what your wish is" and I replied, "it's been both our wishes for the last 3 birthdays". I know in my hear this will be the last time I wish for a baby because I know things are going to work out for us this December.
