IVF is not an option, both due to my finances AND my age.

**WinterTR** · 03-01-2010, 06:17 PM

Hi Ladies! I hope you remember me I was posting in here for a while back in Dec/Jan. Well it's finally my turn for the IUI. I started on Femara today and had my 3 day B/W and an internal ultrasound. I had 8 follies on each side and the nurse said that was great! I feel a little lost in all this and the whole procedure. But I am trying to read and catch up on everyone!

"FSH is often used as a gauge of ovarian reserve. In general, under 6 is excellent, 6-9 is good, 9-10 fair, 10-13 diminished reserve, 13+ very hard to stimulate.
Estradiol (E2) Day 3 25-75 pg/ml Levels on the lower end tend to be better for stimulating."

I have no idea if my doc will treat me with those numbers. We have an appointment Friday morning to discuss options. Rats, rats, rats! Any thoughts?!

Karen

Karen, your fsh is high, but i have read that it can change too, and that is why they would have to do a couple fsh tests to see if it stays up there, i dont think your out, i still think you have a chance at this, and i would insist that they give it a try.

Maria, I'm so sorry you are feeling depressed, sad, stressed and sick. I bet it's the hormones and the effects of the flu all together. Hang in there dear, only three more days. Wishing you postive vibes and a day of feeling not so blue

I can not wait to hear the results or your beta and MC82's beta on friday I almost cant keep my toosh in the seat I am soo excited for you girls!

**Cynderella4** · 03-02-2010, 09:56 AM

I just called my nurse and asked how many cells the embies were that we transferred, its like pulling teeth trying to get info on them, I didnt get a technical grading but did find out they were 8,8,8,6 cell embies!! That helps with my anxiety! Im hoping at least one sticks!! I think I will POAS 14dpER, I got my BFP at that point and that will be next tuesday...one more week to go!! UGH

**nostoppingme** · 03-02-2010, 10:33 AM

Well atleast you know they were dividing perfectly by time they were transferred, so no need to be so anxious! I'm so excited for you. I can't wait til you POAS!!!

**nostoppingme** · 03-02-2010, 12:25 PM

Still no AF, but it only happens when we're waiting on her!

Maybe tomorrow. In the meantime, how are our 2ww's feeling? Hoping you are having some encouraging symptoms that might indicate BFP. Either way, the wait will be over before you know it! Thinking about you gals!!

Where is that darn AF when you want her! UGH!

The only thing I've been experiencing these past two days... a little light headiness and headaches.

I WILL NOT POAS! I'm tooooooooooooo scared!

**reinoncarri** · 03-02-2010, 08:13 PM

Quick update...I had 18 tubes of blood drawn today for all the tests my RE submitted. I can't even remember them all. I guess it will be a little while before we know anything. He wanted to do this before we decided to go on with IVF, to make sure I don't have any autoimmune diseases or thyroid problems and such. I guess whatever he could find under the sun!

Lots of prayers to all you girls for your BFP's!! Have a wonderful week.

thanks sweatheart, but to be honest and realistic, I don't think Im pregnant. Too much sickness this month. Anyway, Im prepared. I've been depressed but I know I was not that strong for this cycle. So that makes the acceptance easier. will keep you posted and thanks for your positive energy.

I hope I feel better soon too. thanks honey.
Im tired of feeling sad. I need something that makes me happy. anything men! Im even trying to watch funny movies, videos in youtube, old pics, to see if something makes me laugh..at least for a sec.....Oh God, I sound so Drama queen, but really, depression is hitting me hard.

about POAS, not at all;will add more stress. I'll wait till friday to confirm what for me at this point is obvious. And dont get me wrong, is not my depression talking, is that this month was not a good cycle at all. I dont know why I didn't stop it when first the initial pills I took gave me such bad side effects, then AF came in a very strage way lasting for almost 10 days , then the flue in the middle of the er/et..come on. The universe was trying to tell me something but I pushed it too much. And the Doctor, well he didn't stop me either. His business is to push and push...so there you go. Several lessons to learn this time.

thanks for your good wishes. means a lot to me.

you are just much too good of a person for your own good. you need to kick her to the curb the second she does anything like that again.

you have enough going on in your life!

I scheduled my progesterone blood draw for Friday, which I thought was 7dpo but now that FF changed its mind that only makes Friday 6dpo... Do you think it would be better to change it to Monday, which would be 9dpo?
