Second injectable cycle...anyone else on injectables this month?

Well, the cyst from my first injectable cycle is gone! Yay! I'm CD2 today and will start femara and menopur tomorrow. I will be taking femara days 3-7 and one menopur shot on days 3, 5 and 7. I produced three mature follicles on my first round, but ended up with a BFN and a huge cyst. Hopefully I'll have some better luck this month!

Anyone else on injectables this month?

Has anyone gotten their estrogen level tested one week after when the progesterone is tested>  If so, what were your levels?

Oh, yeah, that's right...I guess it's already "tomorrow" in Australia :-) Sending you lots of SSBD for your retrieval "today"!!! Hope to hear some good news about the little eggies when you get back!

...oh, and thanks for sharing the sperm count info. I guess it's hard to say why things go up and down like that. But hopefully it's all UP from here ;-)

Take care and let us know how things go!

:-)

Heather Great to see you back with us.. I know sometimes you need a bit of time out to get your head around things..  My husband has low sperm count the second round of IVF there was no swimmers they said it could be from anything.. Even a clod or cough he had three months ago.. Its weird how little things like that can change the body..

Well today is the day of the retrieval Yay its early morning so we are up and about about to head off. Then transfer is on Mon 24th, then the wait till the 5th Dec for the blood test to see how pregnant i am..... Have taken that time off work thought i would give it my best chance...

Hope all is going well with you. Big Hugs

Hi girls! Sorry I've been MIA for the last few days...I was just so disappointed with the whole cancelled IUI thing. We did end up BDing that night and the following night, but I'm not sure if the sperm was any better then. According to my RE, the sample for the IUI had a very low concentration and count and 0% fast-moving sperm. He was totally puzzled by why this happened, since the previous samples have always been very good. He was wondering is maybe my DH had had a fever or some type of infection that would have caused it, but we haven;t really noticed anything...so who knows. But, I'll get over it. Hopefully it was just a one-time thing.

Thanks to all of you for your kind notes and posts! I really appreciate all of the support!

Mommyin09: I'm so sorry about the uterus issue...I really hope you get pregnant (with one) this cycle, so you won't have to worry about IVF! Best of luck and SSBD!

Ingy: I can't believe you're already almost at retrieval! Good luck tomorrow, and keep us posted!!!

Beth: I hope you get a BFP on Thursday! Let us know how it goes!

Nevaeh: 55 million after was is a GREAT number!!! Sounds like you have a very good chance this month! SSBD!!!

kmcarino: Good luck with your progesterone test tomorrow! I'm sure it will be a nice big number! Keep us posted when you get back!

Tracy: I did get your message! I'm glad you got the whole sign-on thing sorted out :-) Best of luck with the transfer today!!! That is so exciting!

Butterflybabies: Best of luck with your retrieval today! I hope they get a lot of nice, big eggs and that you'll have some perfect 3 or 5-days to transfer later this week!!! SSBD!

Fifi: I'm glad to hear that you're already going back to your RE! Hopefully, he (or she) will let you get started again right away! And yeah, let's hope this next cycle will bring us our BFPs! Keep us posted!

Again, thanks to all of you for your support! I really appreciate it!
