    About Me

    Name: Liz
    Location: New York

    I'm 37 and have been happily married since Sept. 2002. Ivan is truly my companion in life. Our TTC journey has felt like a never ending roller coaster ride. We had an ectopic PG in Dec. 04 and in April 05 found out my IF is due to tubal abnormality. We were told IVF was our only hope. July 05 we did IVF # 1 and it was a chemical PG. We did IVF # 2 in Oct. 05 and it was a BFN. In Jan. 06 we did a combined fresh and frozen embryo transfer and it was a BFN. We were determined not to give up our dream of having a baby. IVF # 4 was in April 06. The cycle worked like a charm and on December 20, 2006 we were blessed with Hannah and Matthew.

    Waiting for the call

    U/S # 5 = 17 follicles

    1 measuring 19 mm, 3 measuring 17 mm, 2 measuring 16, 4 measuring 15 mm, 5 measuring 12-14 1/2 mm, 2 measuring 9-10mm

    Since I have 4 measuring 17 and above I might trigger tonight. They are waiting for the results of my E2 which yesterday was 2446. If it is not too high they will have me stim one extra day to help the little ones develop more. Whether I trigger today or tomorrow I am excited.

    I'm so happy this part of the cycle will soon be over. I will be very pleased when I can stop the lupron. Oh but what awaits me...the dreaded PIO...OUCH. Oh well it's a small price to pay.

    Liz, you sound better! The last couple of entries sound more positive than ever before in this cycle. I am so excited for you to trigger! Remember... Miracles DO happen.

    WOW! That's a lot of follies! More than I had!

    Do you really find that the PIOs hurt? I think they are so much easier than the stims which burn me really badly.
