Still on lupron, waiting for AF so I can start stims! I'm getting soooo excited, I really think this could be the one! We are doing ZIFT this time. Anyone else starting stims soon?

How is everyone doing? I am on day...6 of my stims. They just increased my dosage to 450 units of follistim per day and 15 units (same) of low-dose HCG. That HCG burns when it goes in!

juniper that is exciting!! ;D

I go off bc on saturday then wait for AF so sometime next week I will be starting - GOOD LUCK!!!

I started my Lupron on 10/13/05. They have me taking it for 10-12 days depending on when I start my period. I am very nervous, excited and scared all at the same time. We had our Mock ET on 10/10/05. I'm guessing somewhere between 11/4/05 and 11/8/05 will be the actual ET.

dthomas - that is EXCITING!! we will be very close mine should be 11/4 (around that date) waiting for period right now off BC yesterday - :)

Hi ladies,
I am having trouble logging on to make posts. It looks like everyone is progressing nicely. Just to up date, I am on my 5th day of stims. I am on 350 mg flistim. 10 units microdose ovidrel. 1mg dex., vitamins and asprin. I allways seem to respond fairly well to stims. I's my old eggs that are not viable. This will be our last try. I just hope for the best. take care, babydust !!

Hi Laura & the rest of you ladies! I had retrieval this morning and they got 7 eggs- more than I expected since yesterday morning I only had 5 follicles. Things can happen overnight! It was cake, I was out then awake and done. It only took 10 minutes. I pray they all fertilize. I came home and slept for 6 hours.

How is everyone else?

I start Lupron tomorrow, this is my first round of ivf. I have PCOS, does anyone else? I got preg on my own once and miscarried at 12 weeks, we have been trying for a looonnnngggg time. I am 28 and husband is 36. We are jus so nervous about everything, this is my 1st time on a chat room so I don't know all of the lingo but i will learn. Good luck to all of you.

Let me know how the stim makes you feel. How long did you take lupron? My fingers are crossed.... Desiree

Hi Ladies,
Juniper- how many embryo's do you have?

Chrisy- Good. Thanks for asking.

Today is day 10 of Stims. They have started me on antagon (prevent ovulation) for last 5 days. With the start of antagon, they increase the follostem to 400 and microdose ovidrel to 15 units. I have had an ultrasound 6 out of 10 days, estradiol 8 out of 10 days. Yesterdays estradiol was 1785 and I had 15 follicals >10mm. 7 out 15 follicals were > 16mm. So far it appears slightly better then my last cycle. I will probalpy be given the big HCG inj. Sun or Mon with retreval on Tuesday or Wensday.

Babydust to everyone! Keep in touch!

I had one embryo make it to transfer. I am not hopeful, it was only a four-cell. I think if this cycle fails I will have to take care of my endo surgically again. Ugh.

Sounds like you have lots of eggs awaiting!
