    Hi Ladies! Thanks for checking in on me:) The next day my estrogen jumped from 592 to 1100 so they decreased my follistim again and then yesterday it went to 1800 which they were happy with that it was jumping as quickly so we increased my follistim and started garnirelix last night. I had my first ultrasound yesterday and I have about 12 follicles ranging from 7-13 mm, hoping the smaller ones catch up! Sitting at the office now for another estrogen level. Feeling a little better after yesterday. Staying hopeful for a fresh transfer!

    @GreenThumb: how are you feeling? When are you going to test?! Are you 4dpt now?

    @mrswin: so exciting your getting so close!! Are you still feeling good? Every day I'm waiting for the uncomfortableness to kick in. And with the ganerelix, my husband thought it was harder for the needle to go in, it didn't hurt going in at all but I felt a real sting and redness to my skin for like 20 min after. Weird!

    @Mrs.Pinecone316: 12 follicles is great, I'm glad you are feeling better FX you are on track for a very successful fresh cycle.
    I have some uncomfortableness from time to time, twinges in my abdomen and fullness feeling but it is pretty manageable. The worst symptom by far has been constant headaches

    Hope everyone is having a great weekend!

    @Mrs.Pinecone316: I'm so, so glad!! That is great news! Mine went from 500 to 1200 to 2700 to 6300! So the fact that you aren't getting quite such high leaps is really good!! Sounds like you are going to be ready for your ER soon. When is it tentatively scheduled? Hard to keep up with everyone's timelines

    @mrswin: When is your ER tentatively scheduled? You are getting really close, too, right? Sorry to hear about the headaches! Stinkin' hormones!!

    @SweetiePie: Thanks!!

    We are 5dpt so something like 10dpo (I always get confused about whether an FET is technically a day 5 transfer or a day 6 transfer...). We did buy a 3 pack of FRERs yesterday so I am going to start testing on Tuesday morning (12dpo). Last time around, we got our first on what would be 13dpo, so Wednesday. And then the beta is on Thursday! I'm feeling good. Having some cramping, which I will take as a good sign (although it could just be the PIO). In other news, I am starting to get an allergic reaction to the PIO (itchy red bumps at the injection site) so I'm on antihistamines unless it gets worse and then I have to switch to crinone. I'd rather have a daily shot in the a** than that stuff after how gross and messy I've heard it is! But I'll make the switch if I have to!

    @GreenThumb: Glad you're doing well! FX for a early next week!

    @mrswin: Yuck...sorry you're feeling so headache-y! I don't know whether this will help, but I found I felt better when I drank about 3 Liters of water per day during my stims (+ salty snacks vs Gatorade)... Hang in there!

    @Mrs.Pinecone316: I'm so glad they got your stims under control! FX for a successful fresh transfer!!!

    @mrswin: I am so sorry your getting headaches thats the worst. I've been afraid of that because I tend to get headaches a lot but surprisingly i have only had 1 so far. I think the worst symptom I've had is just not being able to sleep well. I was told the prednisone can do that and to take it in the morning but I decided to take it in the evening because I work night shift so I would rather not sleep the nights Im off work then the days when I NEED sleep to go back to work. I will occasionally feel full too thinking " this is it, this is when I start feeling crappy!" but then it goes away. Very thankful.

    @GreenThumb: When I first started stims they were thinking ER would be this friday, but with how quick everything was progressing from the start the nurse thought I might even trigger monday but I will know more after my ultrasound tomorrow morning. Hoping the slower follicles are catching up in time for ER! Can't believe its happening this week! I am SOO excited for you to start testing! Feeling so positive for you:)

    @FliegepilzHut: Thank you:)

    @swedishfish: Yay indeed

    Hope everyone is enjoying your weekend!!

    @FliegepilzHut: Yeah I have been doing pretty well with my water intake but I need to keep up.

    @Mrs.Pinecone316: I have been sleeping alright but having some super vivid dreams! I'm glad you were able to switch up when you take your meds

    I triggered last night and the ER is scheduled for tomorrow morning at 9am EST! Hopefully the smaller follicles have enough time to mature/grow so they will be ready tomorrow

    @mrswin: Yay for triggering last night! I will be thinking of you tomorrow. I'm sure it will go great!

    @Mrs.Pinecone316: Hope your U/S goes really well today and you get your schedule for this week!

    @FliegepilzHut: @mrswin: @Mrs.Pinecone316: Thanks ladies! We did get a 3-pack of FRERs yesterday, but I am holding out until tomorrow to test. I won't be shocked if it is tomorrow because I didn't get a until the following day for my pregnancy with LO. But who knows, could be a ! I'll be sure to let you know either way .

    So AF was late a day. Didn't come yesterday, but this morning instead so now I go in tomorrow instead of today and will start stims tomorrow night (assuming everything looks good). Can't wait to get started already!!!

    @FliegepilzHut: thanks for thinking of me!

    @mrswin: Yay! Praying your retrieval goes beautifully tomorrow!

    My update! I am triggering tonight, ER on Wednesday morning. Can't believe it! So happy to be moving on to the next step. Now for the bad news. I had a small amount of fluid in my uterus today... Seriously guys, my uterus has always been the one thing going for me and now even she turned on me! If it doesn't reabsorb or go away the we can't transfer. It it resolves then Monday is the big day. Praying praying praying my body cooperates !

    @mrswin: @Mrs.Pinecone316: Good luck with the triggers and retrievals! I'll be joining you soon, my nurse says I have a 75% chance of triggering tomorrow night, they're just giving my right follicles a little more time to catch up. Fingers crossed!
