Hi Girls,
Jenn
You are doing Great. YOu are going to have the most special babies created on Thanksgiving day.
kate and Sagan: Hold on and I am praying for you guys..
Pink: Hope you get all the testing done before your FET. Good Luck Girl.
AFM: Long story girls.. As you all know, my body makes one follicle which is kind of large on CD3 (whether medicated or non-medicated). However, my estrogen levels come out normal. My antral follicle count was at 12 and 6 of my follicles grew great with one of them being the large one.
Last wednesday(Day 6 of stims), my RE saw this large follicle and he was concerned that I could have ovulated. With the grace of Almighty, I had not ovulated, I continued 2 more days of stims. On day 6,7,8 my E2 as well as my progestrone level was checked to ensure I had not ovulated. They really took care of me and I love my docs.
On Day 8 of stims(the 5 follicles were all of the correct size) and the 6th one was the large one at 26mm and I had still not ovulated.. SO great. I triggered friday night. Looks like I am not a poor responder as folks who respond poorly have high doses of meds. I was on the least dose of follistim and menopur. But due to the 1 large follicle, the doc cud make only 6 follicles grow.
I had my ER yesterday. As expected I had 6 eggs. The embroyologist said, I had 5 mature and the 6th one was half way there.. I prayed really hard last night for the 6th one.
This morning I got a call from the Embryologist saying the 6th one landed up maturing and all 6 fertilized.
So my E2 level for 6 follicles was 1606 on the day of trigger(in par with the no of follicles I guess).
Lining was at 11mm.
I have come this far only due to the grace of my dad(who is no more) and the Almighty. Everyday for the last 10 days the RE said the cycle would get cancelled if the large follicle ovulates... It has been very rough and I somehow got through it.
As of now I am scheduled for a 5DT on Friday unless something changes with the embies.
Praying for my 6 embies. I am in love with them already.
This IVF cycle is very rough and everyday is different. We all are brave women to go through it...I am still taking it a day at a time and trying to see what God has in store for me.
