June IVF

[mayari]

I'm on CD13. I've been stimming for 10 days now and I'm guessing my retrieval will be on Wednesday although I haven't heard from the nurse about triggering yet. I'm completely obsessed with my follicles now and I can't get any work done.

I'm 36 years old in a same-sex relationship. This is my first IVF cycle after 4 failed IUIs. I'm on an antagonist (Ganirelix) protocol with Bravelle & Menopur. At my u/s this morning I had 3 (or was it 4?) follies over 20mm and a bunch in the 16-20 range. Everything's going according to plan, but of course I'm terrified out that it won't work. I'm also terrified that it will work. More than anything, I want more information which is why I'm anxiously awaiting the retrieval day.

Anyone else in the middle of an IVF cycle right now? How are you holding up?

hi mayari
I am 32 and so is husband. We have male factor... slow swimmers. We are doing IVF with ICIS. This is our first IVF cycle after one failed IUI and one cancelled.

Like you, I'm on an antagonist protocol protocol. I am on stimms (puregon 200 IE per day) and today is my 9th day. I had my scan on day 7 and we have about 7 follicles (12mm) on the right and about 4 follicles (13mm) on the left side. I started with Orgalutran on day 7.

No side effect so far apart from feeling bloated. Another thing is I feel pain on the right side.. i guess I can feel the eggs. I have another scan on Monday and it will be decided when my retrieval will be however we are looking at Wednesday.
Baby dust to you and I hope we can share experiences and celebrate our BFP together.

My 5dt was yesterday. Two embryos were transferred, one grade 3BB and the other grade 2. I've got my fingers crossed and sticky thoughts in my head.

Good luck to you, too.
