@Shutterbug: It wasn't too bad. I didn't have Novarel, I just had a subcutaneous HCG shot so it wasn't much different than my other shots. Sorry you ended up with the welt! I definitely have some bruises that won't quit!
@FliegepilzHut: Thank you! I hope it is easy for me too! I am a little worried about getting sick from the anesthesia. I have a sensitive stomach, and we have a 2 hour ride home afterwards which won't be fun if I have nausea!! I am feeling really good today actually. I have been a little more tired than usual, and I feel very bloated, but other than that I have really been doing great. I actually have been better with these meds than I was with clomid!
-
@Sunshine1810: Good luck!
-
@SweetiePie: Thank you!!
-
@Sunshine1810: Yay! So excited for you! I get nauseous, too, but you can ask for something to be added to the anesthesia too help prevent nausea. Just ask for it! I think they use a much more milder form since it is a quicker surgery, so that helps, too. Less than 24 hours now until your big day!
I remember the bloated feeling. That'll subside very soon. -
So I just talked to one of the IVF nurses and she confirmed what I had read that I do need to have at least 10 AFC to do the study. I scheduled with her for my husband and I to go in on Monday, 23rd (assuming my period does start that Sunday) and do the ultrasound, blood work and consent paperwork. If I don't have 10 AFC, my husband and I are still going forward with a regular IVF cycle and my protocol would be much quicker.
No BCP or Lupron, just getting started on injections. (Same as my last protocol that worked ) So then we'd be looking at retrieval/transfer earlier in July! I hope I am accepted into the study since it saves us a ton of money, but on the flipside if we do a regular cycle, I know I won't be as likely to be suppressed as much, I had success on that protocol and I could do a 5 day transfer if we have enough great embryos. So that is that!
-
@Jenn23: Wishing you the very best luck, whether you wind up doing the study or not!
@Sunshine1810: FX for no nausea, then! I'll be thinking of you all day tomorrow!!!
-
@Jenn23: Fingers crossed for you!!! I am glad you are able to move forward with IVF no matter what! Best of luck to you!
@FliegepilzHut: Thank you! You're so sweet!
I'll update as soon as I am able to!

Thanks everyone! I'm feeling better today. We had 9 fertilize. My doc prefers a 3 day transfer, so we were planning on that but now we may do a 5. I'll know more tomorrow!
-
@Sunshine1810: 16 is a great number! Congrats and keep us posted on the fert report!
-
@Sunshine1810: Were you a little sore yesterday? (Trying to gauge what to expect...) So glad you're feeling better today! Looking forward to more updates soon!
-
@FliegepilzHut: I was pretty sore yesterday but I feel MUCH better today. It wasn't too bad, just uncomfortable.
-
@Sunshine1810: Thank you! Good to know.
-
@Sunshine1810: Yay! Have you decided how many you're going to transfer?
-
@Sunshine1810: 9 is great!!! So happy for you guys!!
Will they call tomorrow morning to let you know if it will be a Day 3 or Day 5? Hope all of the nine keep dividing well! -
@FliegepilzHut: you're welcome! Feel free to ask any questions you have! I'm almost pain free today so it's a quick recovery!
@thisisme: We are leaning toward two, but will make the decision once we know the quality of the embryos.
@Jenn23: thank you!! It's day 3. We are driving to the hotel near the hospital right now (it's 2 hours from our house). I'm super nervous!
-
@Sunshine1810: good luck tomorrow!
-
@swedishfish: thank you!!!

Take it easy and FX those embies are getting comfortable in there! Will you test before your beta?
-
@FliegepilzHut: thank you!!!
@mrswin: thank you!! I think I probably will break down and test! I'm going to take a test to test out the trigger first.
-
@Sunshine1810: how exciting!!! Congrats and keep us posted! Will you POAS or wait for beta?
-
@SweetiePie: thank you!!!
I'm sure I'll breakdown and test before my beta!
-
@Sunshine1810: yay! Stick, babies, stick!
-
@Sunshine1810: Ahh! So excited for you! Rest up today! I tested out my trigger, too.
There is no way I could wait for the beta either.
