    Good luck!

    Are you doing a medicated cycle?

    Good luck Jen! Throwing buckets of baby dust your way. :)

    Thanks so much!!

    KBT- Yes using follistem 225 units for the first 4 days. Then I go back to the doctor on Monday for blood work and u/s. I did a medicated cycle last time as well but only 150 units of the follistem for the entire time. I think they are trying to have me produce more follicles. Last IUI I had 3 of appropriate size.

    Hoping my IUI will be Friday or Saturday! So far 3 follicles at 19, 17 and 15....RE seeing if the 17 will grow a bit so I have 2 good size follicles!

    IUI went well! The sample had 17.7 million sperm and 81% motility :) I had 3 follicles.....a 22, 17 and 17. The 17's aren't ideal but I was told they could still be viable options :) and now the TWW!!! Good luck to everyone out there in their journey to becoming a Mom!!

    Thanks Sf13! Only 1 more week to go! How is your journey going?
  • Sf13Sf13 Posts: 84
    Jen- I think the last week is the hardest, so good luck! My journey got a bit delayed this last month. I had surgery to remove a polyp in my uterus and then had to wait for a follicle that was still producing hormones to shrink. Back on track now with a cycle start date in mid August. I'm excited to be moving back in the right direction. The positive side of that is that it gives me more time for acupuncture. Keep us updated with the good news. :)

    Friday is the big day! Haven't tested but very tempted to. I'm holding on to the hope that it has worked this round but I feel like AF is coming.....a bit of cramping and my chest is tender. Could be side effects from the progesterone but who knows. Trying to stay positive! Hope everyone's journey is going well!

  • jenn0977jenn0977 Posts: 97
    Lol! That's what my friends have been texting me all day! I'm in NJ so I've still got about 13 hours til my blood work! Had a session of acupuncture this afternoon so I'm a bit more relaxed and optimistic today!! I'll keep ya posted!

    BFP!!!! I can't believe it is really happening!! My level is 81 and I go back Monday to see how it is progressing! Thanks sf13 and KBT for all of your support, encouragement and positive vibes :) can't wait for you both to get your BFP's!!
  • Sf13Sf13 Posts: 84
    Woo hoo! I'm soooo happy for you Jen. How exciting. Please keep us updated with your progress.

    Congrats to all ladies who are pregnant!!! Great news.

    KBT, I feel like I have a connection with you. I'm getting stim for a mini IVF cycle , but I only have one follicle. Have you ever heard of that? I'm freaking out. I don't respond to meds well. I'm using 275 of gonal f and 75 of menopur. I turn 37 next month, I have low AMH but normal FSH levels. Please keep in touch with me, I feel so sad and I need support. How are you doing? When do you start the second cycle?

    So my levels went from 81 to 297 which is really good and my progesterone level is also good! Doctor wants me to go back on Wednesday for more blood work to monitor the progression. If everything is going well we will schedule my 6 week scan! Good luck to everyone on their journey!!!
  • KBTKBT Posts: 379
    @sweety. I start in about 14 days. They had me do BCP first. Sorry to here about the one follicle. What day are you on for stim? What is the difference between mini IVF cycle and a regular IVF.


    @jenn. Great numbers! Keep us posted.

    I'm on CD 13, I'm going ahead with the retrieval only with that one egg. He offered an iui, but I had 5 failed ones and always produced only 1. I'm using gonal f 275, and menopur 75mg. Today I started my cetrotide. Hopefully, retrieval will be on Friday. Please pray for me, I need all the support!! I never respond to meds. My uterine lining looks great, so that's good news. Keep me posted on your status.

    Oh mini ivf is supposedly less Stims than regular
  • jenn0977jenn0977 Posts: 97

    @ jenn you must be ecstatic. The thought of hearing/seeing a heartbeat for the first time brings tears of joy to my eyes.

    @sweety prayers in. It only takes one. Keep us posted
