Starting ivf again in April
My dh and I had a beautiful daughter in July after many years of trying. Well, I'm starting ivf in april and very nervous to start all of this again. Is anyone else starting ivf in April???
Hopefulcb- I'm so sorry you are going through this. I am praying for you and I hope you get a good outcome.
korrskat- good luck on your retrieval. I can't wait to hear the updates.
Afm- It almost midnight here, so I will be 6dpt. I had some achyness at the beginning, but nothing now. I'm trying not to get my hopes high, since I don't feel any symptoms. Also, for the past few days I have been so stressed out. Tomorrow might get my mind off of things because my family is trying out for family feud tomorrow. I'm so excited.

ahhh, girl, I hope it isn't the end of the road! You deserve to be a mom! I hope you get preggers this time! If not, you know (gotta throw it out there) there are other options. Hang strong my friend, and I will pray for your eggs!!!
MHV: haha probably!! The pressure isn't as great!!:)
Korrskat: the ER was much better than I expected. At my clinic they basically just put in an IV and give you drugs that make you feel a bit dopey but you are awake. I remember feeling my hard pounding for a few seconds and the nurse telling me it was the Atropine. They used Versed and Fentanyl for the concious sedation. I don't remember too much after that but I did feel a few moments of slight pain when they putcthe needle on each side probably but they were brief and tolerable. The whole procedure took about 15-20 minutes plus waiting before and after so I think we were there altogether for about 2 hrs. I felt fine afterwards with mild pain but totally tolerable so just took it easy for the next few days.
As for me: I'm triggering tonight for ER Monday AM. I only have the 3 follies at 1.8 1.9 and 1.4 so I'm really hoping for the best but I am so scared that none will fertilize like last time. The RE said they may try to activate the eggs with calcium ionophore (already doing ICSI) so I'm really hoping we get at least 1 embie. Otherwise I think this may be the end of the road for us with fertility treatments :(

KP- I am so sorry that you are going thru a hard with the OHSS... hopefully it will subside soon so you can enjoy your pregnancy.
Day 11 and back from u/s... follies I mentioned yesterday are growing more and more. I do have 1 21mm follie that may be sacrificed b/c it may be too mature so I hope we can save it although I do have 5 to work with. Still waiting to hear from my nurse to see what the next plan is. Looks like ER may be tomorrow or Monday. I am little scared about the ER... I have never been under before. I always like to feel in control and I wouldn't be at that point. I guess it's worth it to get to the finish line. Hope everyone is doing well and thinking nothing but pink and blue for all of us.

RGH: so when are you testing??? :) I'm so praying for your BFP!!! it would be such encouraging news for us all!!!
MHV: I'm kinda the same way and can't POAS after IUI or IVF. I'm too scared!! I do POAS a lot when we are doing natural cycle though. Weird.
Korrskat: that's wonderful news!! It's amazing how quickly things can turn around isn't it!! I'm so happy for you!!! When do you go in next??
KP: thanks!! I'm hoping you feel better soon!! Are you having any pregnancy symptoms yet??
As for me: I had my U/S this AM and 2 of my follies are the same size at 1.5 and 1.7 cm and I now have one more growing at 1.2 and 5 small ones so we'll see what happens. I'm desperately trying to stay positive and having a really tough time this time after what happened last cycle. But hanging in there. It's out of my hands so I'll keep hoping for the best.
