After my meltdown in the office last week, I am dreading having to go back and face the nurses. I’m also in “Is this CD1 or not?” hell. I always feel like an idiot, but the signals are mixed.

Our donor starts stims today! We’ll get another update from the nurses on Friday. I’m so excited that this is finally happening!

Hiya everyone.
I started Gonal-f and Menopur on Sunday, so today is Day 3 of stims. I'm also taking Dexamethasone. Both it and Menopur are new for me this go-around.
ER set for sometime between the 11th and 13th if I respond properly.
Real talk: I am dreading taking Cetrotide. CONSTIPATION IS NO JOKE. 😆

I hate figuring out CD1. I always just want someone to tell me. Ha. Don't worry about your meltdown. They see it all. It's a new day.

I’ve been such a mess so many times through this process, I have to believe the nurses have literally seen everything. FX CD1 makes itself clearly known.

I hate the CD 1 hell. I keep thinking I've been doing this for a very long time, I should have this figured out, but nope. I hope you get clear signs either way!

FX that Cereotide is nice to your bum. I managed to keep that side effect on the minimal side. Hopefully it won’t be too bad for you!

My update...
Of our three fertilized eggs, one made it to blast on day 6. I should probably be more excited but every time I get my hopes up, if feels like we get less than stellar news.
Biopsy has been taken and sent and we now wait 7-10 days to find out if we have a chance to transfer.
Embryo was rated 6AA.

jacks, they’ve seen it all! They pump us full of hormones during one of the most stressful times of our lives, they can’t expect that we’ll never have a meltdown! ♪♫choppinbroccoli♫♪, I never had bad constipation with Cetrotide, but maybe get some dried fruit just in case! Hopefully you won’t get it too bad! mrsklm, sending good thoughts for your 1 to be perfect!

Lots of good stims thoughts for bonzo’s donor and ♪♫choppinbroccoli♫♪!! mrsklm I have everything crossed for good biopsy results. I feel so much better knowing I’m not the only one who is unsure of CD1. Fortunately my nurse said timing wasn’t super important since we’re kind of idling while waiting for my biopsy results, so I could just come in early next week. I feel like I will never have a “normal” cycle again after all of this.

Well, I'm a little nervous. Today was my Day 5 ultrasound (Day 6, technically, but before Day 6 stims). There were around 18 follicles in there, but I think the largest ones were 10mm. Some down around 6, so a little small.
We'll see. I'm waiting for instructions to come this afternoon.
I go back in on Monday. Scratch that, just got told to come in Tuesday instead. 😶

I'm just sitting here- hanging out on lupron. I go in for my final TET on the 21st. If she can't get into my uterus... our journey is finished. If she can, then we are set for transfer scheduled in September.

♪♫choppinbroccoli♫♪ FX for some good growth over the weekend! I had several monitoring appointments before my trigger and retrieval were scheduled. I think they err on the side of too early rather than potentially missing the window.

Last cycle was unsuccessful. Now we wait at least a month to try again. I know the clinic we're dealing with is supposed to be the best, but communicating with them is impossible. We have to repeat blood work for all 4 of us even though my husband just did his in May so it's current, he's the biggest baby and hates it so getting him there in the first place was a challenge.
Since stopping the progesterone I've had awful headaches. And now the worst period I've ever had in my life. I think I'm coming down with either an ear infection or sinus infection since my left ear has been blocked all week which is making the headache worse. I'm ready for this week to be over and life to go back to normal.

wineandcake I’m so sorry that it was unsuccessful and that it is hard to communicate with the clinic. Are they going to change your plan at all?

At yesterday’s update, our donor had 22 follicles over 8mm! Most of them are clustered around the 10-11 mm range. It’s looking really good! Retrieval should be Friday or Saturday.
Work is busy so I haven’t been online much, but I’ll try to update again before retrieval.
