Happy to hear everything looked good today. I'm so excited for you!

What do you go back for on cd7...another u/s? What cd does the

retrieval happen on? Sorry if I'm asking something you've explained

before, but there is just so much to try to remember...maybe I should

start taking notes

Pam,

It's good that you took a ride to the hospital, this way there won't be any

confusion later. Don't be nervous, this is what you waited for...

I agree with your thought of only implanting 2 eggs. We have been having

the same discussions with my doctor, he originally wanted to implant 4 eggs

but I said that I couldn't do that because I am against selective reduction.

After losing one child to ep, I couldn't intentionally destroy another.

After I start the stims I go back 5 days later which will be cd7.

They will check the follies. I should have a good idea at that point

of a retrieval date. I asked today so we can plan with our employers.

It will probably be in about 2 weeks.

This next 2 weeks should just fly by! It probably won't seem that

way to you, but let's hope so!!!!

Thats the hard part. I go to a Satelite office for all my u/s and

b/w. For retrieval and transfer we have to drive to Boston. Which is

about an hour away. So my dh will go with me both days. I am not sure

when he does his thing. Probably during my retrieval. I will let you

know when we get closer to and I know whats going on.

Hi

IUI is intra-uterine-insemination. After I had lap surgery to try and

open my tubes we did a couple of cycles with super ovulation.

I just want to get pg then I figure after I have a baby I can work on

getting in shape. Theres plenty of time later right?

An Re is a reproduction endocrinologist

Super ovulation is where you take injections to produce more eggs.

The IUI they put the sperm into your uterus.

With IVF they take the eggs fertilize and put them back.

Pam,

I understand what you're going through with the driving. My new doctor (the

fertility specialist) is over an hour away. Before the ep I was seeing him

weekly, in addition to daily trips to the hospital for b/w (I could have

gone to him for the b/w, but the hospital is only 10 minutes from my house).

Next week will be my first time back since the follow up a week after the

ep.

I'm excited to start IVF, but also nervous. I gained so much weight after

the ep. Part of me wants to just take time to lose the weight, the other

part doesn't care about the weight and just wants to be pregnant again (this

time with a healthy pregnancy).

Pam,

What is the difference between IUI and IVF, it sounds the same to me? I've

never heard of super ovulation either. Sometimes I think I really

understand, then I'm lost again.

Getting in shape after the baby sounds good to me. My friend Vicky usually

gaine 45+ lbs. each pregnancy - she said nursing really helps to take it off

quickly, not to mention being better for the baby.
