Great job, Momsie! Thanks for "carrying the baton". Good luck to everyone this week. Golde, still

for you and your mom.

myreality · 10-26-2009, 08:12 AM

Big beta day today! GOOD LUCK girls!!!

JPS23 · 10-26-2009, 09:05 AM

Momsie, I also had the worst cramps I have had in a while with this protocol. Glad I am not alone.

Also started AF yesterday (same situation as you, spotting then full force in AM when I woke up). Went in this morning for my US & BW and am waiting on the call that says whether or not I can start stims tonight. Very excited to start. Hopefully all my levels are where they are supposed to be. Looks like I have 3 follicles on the right and 3 on the left. Lets hope they all grow the same amount to a size that gets me to retrieval!

Goldie: Still thinking about you and your mom....hang in there.

mangopuppy · 10-26-2009, 09:11 AM

Thanks Momsie for taking over. You rock.

I hope to hear some good news from you women today.

Momsie · 10-26-2009, 09:18 AM

JPS23 - Oh my goodness! I'm kinda glad I'm not the only one, but wish you didn't have bad cramps too! Bad cramps is an understatement! I'm gonna tell my RE to warn the other girls. I tried Tylenol, Alleve & Advil. Nothing helped. I was in agony off & on all day yesterday. I went in for bw & u/s today too! They didn't tell me the number of follies, but did say no big cysts. Phew. Said several tiny ones, but nothing that concerned the doctor here. Waiting on the call from my RE for stimming tonight. Yay! We're definitely cycle buddies.

JPS23 · 10-26-2009, 10:21 AM

Whew hoo! Just got the call from my RE's office. I start stimming tonight! Yay!

My estradiol was only 28 on the bloodwork this AM so that means the small cysts I have on my left ovary aren't doing anything. Yay

Tonight I do 450iu of Follistim & 2 vials of Menopur. I keep the same patch I have on now for 3 more days (took shallow water bath this AM to keep the patch on, might have to break down & shower, if it falls off it falls off. I have a couple more patches). Saturday I go in for US & BW to see how I am progressing. Exciting times!

Beka05 · 10-26-2009, 01:01 PM

CarleeLiz: In response to your question last week, I stimmed for 8 days (I guess today would be considered my 9th by I'm not taking the stims today) and I'm triggering tonight at 9pm!! My E2 levels as of yesterday were 2713 and I have 26 follicles, of those 19 are mature. Me ER is Wednesday morning at 9am! So excited! I'm finally down to the wire!

LadyMosley: YaY!! You're ER is tomorrow! I'm just one day behind you! How was the trigger shot? Any advice?

goldelox07 · 10-26-2009, 01:41 PM

Momsie-rock out with your thread starting self! Youre the bomb!!! thanks.

Also, thanks for the thoughts and prayers from everyone. My mom is home now and resting for a week and trying to get used to the seizure meds. Everything is back to normal minus driving and operating heavy machinery

I told her im gonna buy her a helmet. So all we have to do now is schedule the biopsy and find out exactly what this lesion is. Were gonna make it through though! Love you guys for all the support!

momsie and jps-I think yall were taking ganerelix before starting your stims? Are you taking it again once you start stims? I think i start it around day 6 of stims according to my paperwork. I know yall are excited to get started. Glad to have some "experience" a little bit ahead of me!

smittygirl · 10-26-2009, 01:52 PM

Momsie-thanks for starting the thread!

Goldie-thinking of your mom and family in my prayers.

Mosley and Beka- let me know how the trigger was and any advice...my time will be here soon! Feel like I've been stimming FOREVER!! went for b/w and u/s today. Everything is normal. Normal-haha.

GOOD LUCK Beta girls!!
