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

[Heather5]

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?

Navaeh, Are you guys having a donor???? That thought has never come up with us as we can get pefectly good swimmers from my hubby.. Well i haven't fallen pregnant but the fertilsed has been great!!! The cycle i'm doing now had 22 eggs and they called today to say 14 are great quality 6-8 cells!!!!! It was about 8 years then when he had the reversal. waste of money as the can get it straight out with mirco surgery..  Has your doc ever suggested that???? Due to that we have to do ICSI IVF just a little bit dearer...

butterflybabies,OMG... i just finished reading your post of yesterday.this is just sooo wrong.it breaks my heart to hear this.OHH God!!!!you are definately getting a second and third opinion.all option need to be exhausted.What a Shame!!!!!!!!!! to go through all what you went through just to get this.Please lets put this into prayers.

i had my appointment today.the re told me that my fsh levels were high.he said we will be starting stim med immediatly af shows up.great news.he is changing the protocol and starting me from high doses down.he was very opstimistic that i'll respond better this time.he also encouraged me to do accupuncture.anybody done this before?? i called the accupuncturist he referred me to and they are trying to work with my insurrance.hope its covered

kcarino,neveah,you ladies need to be opstimistic.just relax and wait for you bfps.i think af symtoms are same with afs,so relax.

ugh I am in the same boat kmcarino..I just do not feel pregnant anymore. I was super positive in the beginning but it is slowly starting to fade...my ovaries are still sore and I am slighty bloated and uncomfortable..my bbs are sore but probably from progesterone...I dunno..I just don't feel any different than I did all the last cycles with BFNs....I am 5/6dpiui and I'm thinking I'm going to give up hope......maybe on to IVF...

Ingy: thanks for responding. I'm glad I finally got to talk to someone who's had experience with that because I've only read things. We didn't do a reversal because it's been 11 years and thought we'd get pregnant faster with a donor and IUI...well 8 IUI's later I'm not sure that we saved any money....

Thanks:)  Did you have cramps as early as 8dpo?  I had AF cramps when I got pregnant too but I think it was a little later than 8dpo.  With my last few failed cycles, I got cramps a week before af would be do just as I do normally with PMS.  Anyway, I will pray for a miracle.  The nurses have reassured me that the level of 15 would not keep me from getting pregnant so I feel a little better about that but because of my light cramping today and that my estrogen is also a lot lower than it was when I got pregnant, I am thinking the result will still be negative.

I hope you are feeling better.

kmcarino: Yeah, I know what you mean...I obsess about things like that sometimes too ;-) 15 is a good number, though, so don't worry about that. I know you said you normally get cramps before AF, but to help you feel a little better, I just wanted to let you know that I got cramps like that the two times I got pregnant!

Here's today's list...

-------------------

Beth - 17 dpo, Gonal-F, (did you test?)
kmcarino - 8 dpiui, Gonal-F, beta 11-26
Nevaeh - 5 dpiui, Follistim, beta 11-26
Heather - 5 dpo, Femara/Menopur (three mature follicles, but IUI cancelled)
Tracy - 2 dpt, Follistim/Cetrotide, one perfect 4-cell transferred
Ingy - CD15, IVF cycle, Gonal-F/Lucrin, 22 eggs retrieved, waiting for transfer

butterflybabies - IVF cycle cancelled...so sorry :-( Keep us posted and don't give up!
Fifi - IVF cycle cancelled :-(  Follow-up appointment today (Good luck, and let us know how it goes!)

Thanks so much for all of your help.  Not many people have responded about this and I really appreciate it since I have been obsessing over it since yesterday.  I guess it is still possible, but I am pretty sure it is not working.  I am crampy today which in comparison to my other failed cycles means af will be coming...this seems to be PMS and I do normally get light cramping a week before af.  I am hoping for a miracle but will not be surprised if I get bfn.
