March Cycle Buddy Group week ending March 13....

[3 ladybugs]

Child and miscarriage mentioned

hydro419 - I had 2 embryos transfered both times and got singleton's both times (one miscarried). HOWEVER and this is big however, I had several doctors at the time tell me that I could definitely carry twins. So that weighed heavily on our decision. Next time around I will be told the opposite. So essentially I am in your shoes, and I have already got it in my head that I am transferring one. Basically my rule of thumb is I will not transfer any more then I am willing to carry to term.

Good luck with whatever you decide and your transfer!

Good Evening Girls!!!

WOOHOO!!! So we talked to the dr again today & it's officially just the 4 embabies but DH talked to him & I'm like did he say they were ok? He's like yes I asked about them & he says they're fine! I don't really know if he asked but its fine were scheduled for ET tmrw Tuesday @ 11:00am!! I don't know the quality is yet because like I said I was too nervous to do any talking & DH doesn't know the first thing about asking what the quality is.
We plan on transferring all 4! I just couldn't stand leaving any babies behind!!! I'd always have that thought in my mind

Tweetie- Special prayers go out to you. I know exactly how u feel & im so happy that you still carry that positive attitude with you despite not getting the news you'd hoped for!! Those embies have a great mommy & daddy, already cheering them on!!! How wonderful is that))

Will do personals tmrw after ET!!! I'll have lots of time on my hands

BLESSINGS TO ALL

Tweetie-I think I will be in the same boat as you tomorrow. I have my ER and my BEST outlook is 9 eggs, but we're not doing ICSI, so I may only end up with 1 fertilized egg if lucky. But, the strongest survive, so you're two embryos are probably the best egg/sperm match up possible. Stay positive that they are the best of the rest!

Congrats to all of you who are PUPO!!! I think more and more of this board is heading that way!

Hydro-I am also debating how many to transfer if I can get more than 1 embie. I'm 38 and my doctor recommends 3 due to my high FSH (possible egg quality) and a 3 day transfer no matter what-last time my one lone embie looked great at day 3 and stalled out at day 5. This is another decision I struggle with. Will follow to see what everyone else decides.

Blessing-You are brave-all 4 of them!!! Your family will instantly begin if all 4 grow! I can not wait to hear your beta numbers

Tresina-your beta is coming up-you seem to be doing great with the waiting. I would have used the 'ole POAS method by now. Good luck and I can't wait for the update.

Everyone else-good luck with ER, ET, and the 2ww-we are all moving together pretty quickly on this. I hope this board gets a huge round of BFP's soon.

Hydro - that's really tough. I've always planned on putting back two if I had them. my line of thinking is that after all of this physical, emotional, monetary, and time commitment - I just want the best chance at a pregnancy period. I don't know if that's right or wrong.

BUT.. I would also listen to my doc (that's why we pay them the big bucks right!?) my doc hasn't said anything much either way yet and we won't know exactly the number of embryos or their quality until we go in tomorrow - so we'll see what he says then and make a game time decision.

AFM - transfer tomorrow a.m. I've been so shockingly calm through this whole process and all of a sudden I'm a stress mess. my anxiety is through the roof. I am over tired. tired of daily treks to the doctors office, ultrasounds, needles, all of it. I'm officially over it. please send me calming sleep vibes and happy succesful transfer dust!

[hydro419]

Thanks for all the advice everyone! I willl most likely just transfer 1, but it is so scary!

Blessing and Chicago: Best of luck on your transfers tomorrow. Sending loads of sticky vibes to you both! Sleep tight, tomorrow you will be PUPO!

Ugh I'm getting stressed!!!!
I triggered tonight (YAY), BUT I'm not sure what's going to happen next. Nurse called and said that I have at least 10 mature in each ovary, however even though I "coasted" last night without stims my E2 level today was 8,583!!!!!!!! Since I'm on the long lupron cycle I couldn't trigger with Lupron and had to trigger with Hcg. I'm under 30, have PCOS, greater than 20 follicles, and a spiked E2 level which means I have a 80% chanced of getting OHSS!!! grrrr! I'm supposed to talk to my RE tomorrow about what to do (ET vs freezin any fertilized embies). I've been trying to research but I'm not getting any solid answers. It seems that since I triggered with the HCG, I'll probably get the OHSS regardless of wheather or not I do the ET....only difference is if I get pregnant it could last longer. I'm so frustrated!!!!
ER is on Wednesday.... I guess I'll have to wait and see how I feel afterwards.

Blessings & Chicago- good luck today with ET!!!! It will feel so good after you have it over with, i know for me it feels like a huge weight has been lifted! No more us, bloodwork, waiting to get results everyday!

Thank you to everyone for the congrats with my ET! I appreciate the support! It was very emotional for me! This is all so amazing! I loved looking at the pictures of our embryos, although its just 2 i really feel theyre a strong pair and at least they have eachother! It was funny though, when we left the RE we made it all the way home (luckily only 15 min away) and i realized we forgot our picture of them!!!! I was so upset! What kind of mother am i forgetting my embies! My husband calmed me & assured me technically i didnt forget them physically theyre stuck in me! Being the great guy he is he left right away to go "get them"! Thought you all would share the humor in this!

Good luck to everyone no matter where youre at in this journey!

Poss Preg Metioned

Well, of course I couldn't resist the pee stick this morning. I felt that once I started I was committed. I use Clear Blue and this morning it told me that I'm preggers!!! So.... DH and I are cautiously optomistic that this has been a success My beta is next Tuesday.

[heatherfla]

Blessing & Chicago: Thinking of you today for your transfers. Hope it is a peaceful day!

LJ13: Wow! I hope your POAS is right and this is the start of a beautiful time for you.

Faith2008: Glad your transfer went well yesterday. Your story of forgetting the pics cracks me up--I told you that we are ER twins; I think you may have got some of my absent-minded professor traits. I do stuff like that every day ...

Tweetie8: Any word on when your transfer will be? Thinking of you and your two fighters. Maybe tomorrow like me?

Happy Tuesday, all!
