So, I have to go get an MRI done of my pituitary gland this afternoon, as my prolactin level came up as quite elevated in my bloodwork. Initially we thought it was because of the estrogen injections, but it didn't go down much upon repeat several days later. So I may be adding another filled square in my Infertility Bingo card, hahaha. Who knew so many things could affect fertility?
We leave for vacation Saturday morning, and I'm so excited to get away from all the fertility troubles for a bit!

@momazon: Had they not checked it before? Or was it normal? Hope your MRI comes back normal! Have a wonderful vacation!!! Where will you be going?

@FliegepilzHut: I'm not sure if they normally check it pre-IVF, but it never came up as a problem in the past. Did they check yours pre-IVF? Some of the bloodwork I need to do for the donor program is different.

@momazon: It was actually in the initial bloodwork my RE sent...or maybe even earlier, when I saw my OB for an IF appt?

@FliegepilzHut: Gotcha. I'll have to ask them next time I talk to the RE! Maybe they never tested it before, it seems like all the clinics have different things they have as the standards. Oh, and I'm going to Asia for 2 1/2 weeks, mostly a cruise (Singapore, Thailand, Malaysia, Vietnam) then flying to Hong Kong for a couple days to finish it off. We so need this break.

@sarahnicole218: yeah, I'm just waiting for the m/s to start. It would be cool if I didn't get it, but I have a pretty bad gag reflex pre-pregnancy and I can be pretty picky with the food I eat.

@sarahnicole218: @FliegepilzHut: @bluestriped bee: Thanks ladies! Aside from the fact that I had the most painful experience with getting the IV in today, all went well. 9 eggs retrieved, they should be doing ICSI on them right about now too!

@PurplePumps: ditto! There's no where else to put it At least you have a good excuse for not shoveling

@PurplePumps: 9 sounds great! FX for more good updates tomorrow!
hostess / wonderful apple seed / 16729 posts
@PurplePumps: sorry about the IV but 9 is a great number!! When will they call you with an update?

@PurplePumps: Fantastic news on the 9 eggs!! Thank goodness you got it all done right before this next blizzard, huh?! Good timing!! Can't wait to hear your report and also hoping the weather cooperates for your transfer, too.

Trying to stay hopeful, but I'm pretty crushed right now. Out of the 9 eggs, only 3 were mature and only 2 fertilized. Awaiting to hear if they will decide to just do a day 2 xfer tomorrow or wait until day 3.

@PurplePumps: Oh, sweetheart. That's such hard news! Everything crossed for good growth for the two LO's and a successful transfer!

@PurplePumps: I'm so sorry more didn't fertilize thinking of you I hope you're able to have a successful transfer
hostess / wonderful apple seed / 16729 posts
@PurplePumps: Aww, I'm sorry more weren't mature and fertilized. Big hugs to you! Will you transfer both of them?
pear / 1986 posts
@PurplePumps: Thinking of you and hoping those two grow, grow, grow so you can transfer on Monday instead of tomorrow!
pomegranate / 3809 posts
@FliegepilzHut: @winter_wonder: @bluestriped bee: @GreenThumb: @tequiero21: Thanks ladies. I will be transferring both on Monday. I almost think that they picked Monday over tomorrow cause of the snow storm that hitting us now, but the doctor said that the embryologist said that they looked good, so day 3 should be no problem. DH doesnt seem as concerned as me, when I told him, he said, "2? ok, that's fine, that's all we need anyways right?" I wish I could be as optimistic.

@PurplePumps: Stay positive! One or both of those little embies should make themselves nice and cozy on Monday. Fx!
hostess / wonderful apple seed / 16729 posts
@PurplePumps: yeah, try to stay positive! Leialou and I both transferred two and we are now pregnant. All it takes is one to stick and plus you said the embryologist said they looked good! Monday will be here soon for you!!

@sarahnicole218: @bluestriped bee: Trying trying trrrrying to stay positive. I think I just need to make it to the xfer and I'll feel better. I got all psyched for day 3 the first cycle and the all arrested by that morning, so that fear is just lingering.
hostess / wonderful apple seed / 16729 posts
@PurplePumps: oh, I know, how easy it is to tell someone to stay positive. IRL its much harder. Especially having IF, it's so normal for us to think of the what ifs. Hugs!! Thinking of you.
Are you affected by all of the snow or ultra cold weather the east coast is having? How much did or will you get?

@bluestriped bee: We got another foot yesterday! There's about 3-4 feet of snow out there now! It's all the way at the top of my deck railing.

@PurplePumps: I'm so sorry to hear the update, but so hopeful that you'll make it to transfer this time and have awesome results! I know it's hard to go through this. IF sucks
persimmon / 1259 posts
@PurplePumps: Tomorrow is almost here!! What time is your transfer scheduled for?

@PurplePumps: Thinking of you this morning and hoping all is well! Wishing you the best of luck today!!!
