~Transfer time and Fert Update~

Hi Friends,
 Yesterday I got another fert update twice from the clinic. The first time was as we were walking in to church and then the 2nd time was from Dr. Miller and the news was amazing and they are doing fabulous.
4~ excellent, 2~excellent/good, and 6~ good blasts.

I got a phone call from my Rock star Nurse Patsy just a few hours ago and tomarrow at 11:30 or so we will be PUPO. We are so excited. We also have asked for out regular RE to do it and I am hoping that he does. We are transferring 2 excellent embies.
  I think my beta will be around the 7th which is next week.

~Fert report~

Hi friends.
  This morning I got a fert report from our doctor and it was the news that we were hoping for. I have 5 excellent blasts, 4 very good embryo's and 3 good embryo's. We are putting 2 excellent embryo's back in to me on Tuesday so that means we get to do the 5 day transfer that we were hoping for. Doing a 3 day transfer would just be a little risky right now with how I am feeling. I will get the next report on Monday along with a check in time for our transfer.

I am doing okay, I am still very sore. The doctor did say to take it easy still. I went from 11:30 last night to 5:30 this morning with out taking anything. Today I went with DH to get groceries and by the time we got home I was exhausted and not a happy camper. I think tomarrow for church I will be wearing my maternity pants as I am still hugely bloated.

Hope everyone has a fantastic evening/.

~FERT Report and update~

Hi friends,
 so this morning was not a good morning I was still in quite a bit pain and then my bladder decided to not work so I had to call the nurse and get an appt before we left LR. I saw the doc that did my ER yesterday and he had to cath me since I hadn't gone to the restroom since yesterday. He did give me instructions that if I couldn't go by the time we got home then I was to go in to the ER and get a foley cath done for a few days. I am blessed that when we got home I was able to go. My ovaries have stopped bleeding but they are still big. I am still in some pain.

But here in my fert report. They got 14 eggs yesterday and 10 of them fertilized with ICSI. The doc is really pushing for a 5 day transfer due to what my body is going thru.

Tonight I am just relaxing and thinking about going to bed early. Hope that everyone has a fantastic evening.

~ER Update~

Hi friends,
    So I am writing this update from the comfort of our hotel room. My retrival was suppose to start at 10 ish and it didn't start til 10:30. The anethesiologist was running late due to weather. When he got their it was only a few moment's til they started. I remember Dr. Miller came in and washed and preped my cervix and everything. I think my ER was about 40 minutes long. But while they were doing my ER my ovaries started bleeding which the doc said is normal. They got 14 eggs, last time they got 19 eggs. They also maxed me out on IV pain meds and IV anti- nausea meds. My surgery was at 10:30ish and we didn't leave their til 1ish. They kept me longer due to the pain and to watch my ovaries. They also gave me the big pain meds. I took one a few hours ago and just took my doxycycline and then in about an hour or so I will take my prednisone. If all the roads are clear we get to go home tomarrow. I will get a fertilization report tomarrow from either our rock star Lauren or Patsy.
Hope everyone has a fabulous night.

~ER today~

Hi friends,
 So today is the big day. I can't believe in about 3 hours is my ER. I am happy that we stayed in a hotel close to the clinic. The small town that we live in is all closed due to the ice storm. But my babes and I came totally prepared just in case we stay in this hotel room tonight. We even remembered my heating pad for tonight. I also have requested our regular RE to do my ER and so I am hoping and praying he does. While I am an old pro at surgery I still get nervous, emotional and scared. Plus my veins are shot from getting blood work done all week.
Please say a quick prayer for us, for our medical team this morning.

I will try and get an update out after my ER depending on how I am feeling and if we head home.

Hope everyone has a fabulous day :)

~today is trigger time~

Hi friends,
 I just received the call from my rockstar nurse Lauren that my follies are looking amazing and that it is trigger time. Tonight at 10:30pm I will do my final injection. My E2 is 2,213 which is the highest it has ever been. My belly is super bloated and I am excited to get these follies out. I will start Doxy tomarrow morning. Also, since we live 3 hours away and since we are suppose to get some icky weather DH and I are staying in a hotel close to the clinic tomarrow night. My check in time on Thursday is at 9am. I will try and get an update out on Thursday sometime but it all depends on how I am feeling.

Hope everyone has a fabulous night!

Monitoring appt

Hi friends,
 I went today for what was suppose to be my final appt but unfortunately it was not. My estrogen decided it had other plans and went up to 1,852.2. I am on 5 vials of Bravelle and 1 vial of Menopur. I will have my final monitoring appt tomarrow. I also have 19 follies and they are getting bigger. My appt is at 10:30 tomarrow so that is nice that I won't have to leave until 6:45. I am making the 3 hour trip by myself and so excited. I can't belive tonight will be my final big shots for this cycle.
I am already in my jammies and hanging out with my awesome hubby. Hope that everyone has a great evening. I am doing laundry.

I will post an update after I get home tomarrow.
