Of the 4 frozen, 2 tested normal!! Yay! We have 2 perfect embryos. Now to get my lining ready for them to be put back in me. :)
Just received a call about my final report, we had 4 embryos make it to the blast stage. They have all been biopsyed and sent for PGS. Takes 1-2 weeks for those results. Hopefully AF shows up soon, so I can start getting my body ready for transfer. All my medicine has come in, and it is much cheaper than the stimulation shots!! Woohoo! We found out Sunday that 7 fertilized of the 15 eggs. We won't get another update till day 5 and 7. They will then do the genetic testing and freeze. We should be starting my FET cycle next week.
The nurse stated AF should up about 10 days after ER, so that should be around April 29. I just ordered my medicine for my FET cycle and they were so much cheaper because insurance covered some. Only down fall is the 1 1/2 inch needle I have to use for the progestrone in oil shots! More to come, it's all moving so fast!! 15 eggs retrieved today!! I'll find out tomorrow how many fertilized. Now it's the labs turn to do their work and I sit and wait for AF to arrive, so we can get my body ready for FET!!
Just had what was suppose to be my final ultrasound and blood work before the ER, but still might be. My lead follicle on both sides is 20, but i have so many that are 16-18. The nurse thinks that the doctor will want me to do stims for one more day, get checked tomorrow and see how much they imporoved. I didn't want my ER on Saturday, but looks like that may be when it is. I will know for sure in a few hours! I can wait an extra day, just
Just realized I have not posted an updated in a week. I have had alot happen between now and then!!
Wed. April 9th- E2 level was 168 had follicles starting to gown, but still small. Friday. April 11- E2 went up to 505 and had 4 follicles on both sides about 10MM. RE started me on cetroitide to prevent ovulation. Mon. April 14- E2 is up to 1575!! I am not sure how high they want it or what the max it needs to go is though. I have 4 follices on one side that are 15mm and 5 follices on the other side that size. Other small ones as well. I go back on Wed. April 16th! My RE said to make sure I have medicine through Wednesday night, which I do. We will either do trigger on Wednesday or Thursday with ER on Friday or Saturday. I am getting so close. My tummy is bloated though, so I am ready for that to go down for a bit. It can get big again when a baby is growing inside. :-) Started my stim shots last night! It was definately an adventure and not as easy as I thought it would be.
I wanted my husband to help to be apart of it some how, but he was scared to mess anything up. He ended up helping me though, because i couldn't figure out how to get the syringe to quit from push back down on me. I think I might have lost some menopur last night, but I am not going to stress. It was day one, and I know what to do now! I think tonight will go much smoother. I cannot believe that my ER is scheduled at the end of next week. That seems so soon. I have my next u/s and b/w on Wednesday (today is Monday). Then I will be going pretty much every other day to check my status. I think once that starts then this will go really fast. Then i have to sit and wait for AF to show up again since I am doing a FET. So happy to get this process started!! I am getting very excited! We have set a schedule to get the ball rolling. I will be ordering my medicine today. I am already taking folgaurd, baby asprin, prenatals, and currently on birth control.
I will stop the BCP and have my baseline blood work and ultrasound on April 2nd! One week from today!! The stimulation shots will start on April 6th with a tenative egg retrieval scheduled for April 18th!! The medicine I will start with is: Menopur and Gonal F. I will start Cetrotide about 6 days in, then will have Ovidrel as my trigger shot!! More to come.... Tomorrow is the big day! My teaching visit, and find out the schedule that I wil have. I am getting very excited. I think I have a whole page of questions, but I am sure more will come up through the cycle.
On another note, not sure how baby showers are for everyone but I do not like them! I think it comes from the fact that Chloe's was scheduled for the weekend before I lost her, so all the plans had to be cancelled. I really do not like to attend them, and it hurts my friends and family's feelings. They should understand mine though. My sister in law is about to have her 3rd child, and my mother in law wants to have a babyshower for her this week. My MIL gets mad if I don't go, but she doesn't understand how much they both me!! I think/hope once I do get pregnant this will change. |
