@Mrs.Pinecone316: Definitely hoping tomorrow is a good day for a transfer for you! But if not, better to wait. I'll be thinking of you!!!

@FliegepilzHut: Oh yeah I meant to mention that last night, you guys read my mind with the new IVF thread! Go for it!

Its 4:30 in the morning here. Can't sleep! My mind is racing not knowing what is happening for sure yet today.

@Mrs.Pinecone316: hope everything goes well today!

@GreenThumb: I'm so sorry.

@Mrs.Pinecone316: So exciting! And a little nerve-wracking I imagine... FX that you have a great day!!!

@GreenThumb: That's so hard... Glad to know you're doing well and that your family is supportive! Take care of yourself!

@Mrs.Pinecone316: Thanks! I am feeling better this morning. Good luck with your transfer this morning. Please let us know how things go.

Just when I thought I couldn't feel any worse....so today tops all the crazy IVF days over the last week combined. I'm a hormonal mess, had an emotional crying breakdown just now due to all sorts of things and my husband I can tell is like, "Whoa" and not sure what to do with me.

My appointment this morning was so, so painful. The ultrasound I mean. Like I almost screamed out loud painful. Never has it hurt so badly before and I felt like a big baby, but survived it somehow. Then I was told a 50/50 chance of trigger tonight/tomorrow so I held off on getting meds at the fertility pharmacy near the clinic (one hour from home). Blood tests aren't in still, so now I still have no idea whether we are triggering and what meds to get and when to start driving to the pharmacy in case they say trigger is at 6pm. Already 2pm here. Plus, my follicles grew 5mm in one day?!! How is that possible? I have 14's that grew to 19's today? The nurse couldn't explain it, but I have a bad feeling about the quality of my eggs since they grew so fast and I'm only on day 7. And if they don't trigger me tonight, I'm worried all the 19's and 18's will be way too big and won't work. I'm basically a mess right now!!

@Jenn23: it will all be ok. Just trust that this will work. I know how hard and frustrating it is. Hugs.

@Jenn23: I'm sorry! By the end, I was also having 4-5mmnof growth per day, for what that's worth. It really sounds like you will trigger tonight (assuming a majority of follicles 15-16 or above)...but if not, try not to panic! Your RE does this literally all the time and you trust them for a reason! Did you feel this uncomfortable (and emotional) near the end of your first cycle? If not, do you blame the Menopur? Sending lots of good vibes your way!!!

@FliegepilzHut: oh and that is good to hear that you had such fast growers at the end. This didn't happen my last cycle!

@GreenThumb: I am sorry, I was so hoping it would turn out different. Sounds like a busy few months, I'm sure it will fly by and you will be back on the IVF train (hopefully for the last time) before you know it. Always here if you need to vent!

@Jenn23: Sounded so stressful, glad to hear it all worked out. Excited for you to trigger tomorrow! My ultrasounds were always painful too, I don't think my endometrioma (cysts) in my ovaries helped anything!

@mrswin: How are you feeling today?

@FliegepilzHut: Thanks!

Update... well we ended up transferring today! My doctor wasn't really worried about my bloating but his bigger concern was for the fluid I had on my ultrasound during stims. even though its gone now he felt it lowered my chances by about 10%. But after going over all my embryo's and discussing FET's and finding out the out of our 2 cycle package we purchased this cycle would still count as one even if we don't transfer it made no sense to us to not give it a try. Its still better odds then not transferring at all. So we have 2 pretty embryo's hopefully getting comfy and 4, with the possibility of a 5th to be frozen. Feeling good about our decision whatever the outcome but praying this is it for us.

@Mrs.Pinecone316: That's wonderful!!! Have a relaxing next week or so! I'll be thing snuggy thoughts for your little embryos and wishing you the best of luck!

@Jenn23: Yay for 13 follies!!! You're almost there!

I'm feeling pretty well. So far, my breasts being sore (at times) and my gut being sluggish-- and maybe some increased thirst?-- are the extent of my symptoms and those seem pretty minor. I've taken some naps, but then again, I already loved naps! I have to admit I'm feeling a little nervous...but by all appearances, things are going well! Looking forward to having more information in a couple of days!

@Mrs.Pinecone316: yay! Relax and enjoy your less than TWW!

Got a call from the lab director today and they were able to freeze two of our embryos as blastocysts today! I am so relieved, still feeling really emotional but better about the choice we made. Thank you all so much for the support through this whole process, I'm not sure what I would have done without it.

@mrswin: That's excellent that two blastocysts made it to freeze! What a turnaround from the other day! Congratulations!!!

@Mrs.Pinecone316: So happy you were able to do the transfer. Fingers crossed for a BFP!

@momazon: Today's your big day, isn't it? Hoping you get great news today for your ET! I'll be thinking of you!

@mrswin: that's great they were able to freeze two embryos!!

@mrswin: So soon!!! Have a nice relaxing week!

@Jenn23: Almost there!!!! 13 follies is amazing! I was really uncomfortable at the end too. I was wearing a lot of comfortable summer dresses and hobbling around by the end of the day. I am sure this is harder on you too because you have a little one now as well!

@mrswin: Yay! So glad you got some frozen embies!

@Mrs.Pinecone316: I am so sorry your dog isn't feeling well! Praying that you get some good news today!

@Mrs.Pinecone316: I'm sorry to hear that your pup is sick. Hopefully the vet will be able to figure out what it is and get him feeling better ASAP

@FliegepilzHut: I am so excited for you to see two in there tomorrow

@FliegepilzHut: so excited to find out if you have one or two in there! glad you are feeling ok!!

@Mrs.Pinecone316: I'm so sorry about your pup!! Hope you find out soon what it is so you can treat him and he can be better.

@mrswin: yay! That's great news!!

So here I am picking up more bravelle and ganarelix. No trigger again! I'm so beyond done with this four hours of driving everyday!! So my follies: 20,20,20,20,19,18,17,16,15,14,13,11. Estrogen is 1365. I'm still worried why we are going another day, but my RE's nurse said he thinks one more day. I'm so confused. Guess it is the hormone levels?
