Update: Marie Carla after 7 nights of Stims

[marie carla]

Hi everyone...
I am making progress I guess on my 2nd IVF. I just got the call with results.
My estrogen is 627 (hope thats ok).
My lining is at an 8mm.
My LH is 1.68 (hope thats ok).

My left has:
(1) -- 13.5
(2) -- 11.5
(1) -- 10

My right has:
(2) 13
(2) 12
(2) 11
(4) 10

So I guess that 14 good sizes that I am working with. My first fresh they got 23 eggs but I had a high die off rate from what I remember...

I did ask again and I am definitely doing a 3day. I am okay with that but wondering why my place doesnt really do 5 days...and they told me they DO freeze at the 3 day stage too....hmmm....

So my re wants me to keep stimming w/ Follistim 125 and Lupron 5 for Fri/Sat night and go in for u/s and Blood again on SUNDAY morning....So I may trigger with Ovidrel either Sun or Mon--so an ER for me either Tues or Wed!

Marie Carla,

It sounds like you're on your way.

There are some places that see how the embies are doing before making the three or five day transfer decision; you should perhaps talk to your RE so you don't have any regrets/questions.

Hi CS,
yeah I have spoken to the nurse many times. I think they feel they are better off inside then taking it to blast!!??! I dont know. I am foggy with all this stuff. I do know that they are not doing ICSI or AH on them for sure.

I had AH done on my FET--it is mandatory for all their FET.

Marie Carla, nice report. Two more days of stims should put you in a good position. Good luck with your appointment on Sunday.

Sounds like a great report! It is good they are all pretty close in size. I am trying to do the same thing as you - go for quality over quantity. Day 5 of stims today for me - I go in for my first u/s on Monday! Good luck to us all!

Sounds good Marie Carla - we are pretty close - although I've been stimming longer but they are talking about a Sunday trigger.
Maybe we can be buddies girl!

Hi Wan2b and bhoban.
Thanks for posting.
Bhoban--I hope Monday you have a good u/s and that there are a good # of follicles developing...Can I ask if you know for any reason why your first IVF didnt work. I see that you got preggo from earlier IUIs.
Wan2b-good luck to you!

I am so uncomfortable today...really really feel my right side hurting...I CANT wait to get maybe my last u/s and blood Sunday morning and hopefully trigger Monday night. I will learn more on Sunday.

Good luck Carla!

14 is a nice number. And the e2 is rising nicely.

Lots of luck for this go-around to work.
