Hi,

Anybody else?

@thewaitinggame- OK that makes sense! I am going to buy some now! I feel like I am taking SO many different pills each day, but they all do something! Yeah i totally love acupuncture! It's so relaxing! I totally had a meltdown yesterday and just cried on and off all day and could have used a treatment!

Hi all,
Im in the middle of my stim, sched retrival is end of the week, so today i had my US and bloodworks, my dr said that ii had 1 polyp . I had a polyp removal last dec 15 thats why my cycle was moved, now, polyps recurred or just develop coz of the meds but defenitely will need to remove. And with this he said that he will do frozen transfer, which mean will move the transfer date. I was so happy and excited for last week all is going well and im responding good with med.. Ive been going in the clinic 5 days in a row, 3.5 hours drive both ways. And now, the roller coster of IVF.
Anyone here had a frozen transfer and develop polyp with in the middle of stim? I
Thank you all

I had a polyp discovered after 3 IVF rounds and 2 miscarriages. It was never discovered on regular ultrasound during the 2 stim cycles or the 1 frozen I did up to that point or on the hsg I did. It was only discovered when they did a saline sono. Not sure if it was always there or if it developed during treatments. Typical chicken or the egg scenario.

@ LSchader: yes good luck to us. Its trigger night tonight and retrieval on friday.
@mnor:in dec polyps was discovered thru sonogram, and in the middle of stim he think that theres another polyp. So today is my trigger, ill be using lupron and retirival will be friday. Praying that everything will goes well. what triggef u used? Kinda worried about he said that i have lots of follicles develop. Is this good or bad?

Good luck at retrieval! Wishing you lots of good mature eggs! I triggered with either ovidrel or novarel (10,000 iu of hcg). Lupron is perfectly acceptable as a trigger. Lupron is normally used to avoid ohss if your doctor thinks you might develop it. Did you get an estimate on the number of follicles you have and has your estrogen level been high? Remember to rest after and drink lots of fluids, Gatorade is best for avoiding ohss because of the electrolytes. Also, eat a lot of protein and salty foods, soups are great because you can get fluid, protein and salt all at once.

I was a very high responder due to pcos, around the 30+ follicles mark as well. They always lost count there were so many. Usually I gained about 10 lbs per stim cycle. It's not fun and I know you must be uncomfortable at this point! By the day or 2 before retrieval all I could fit into were yoga pants. I never developed ohss though thankfully. I just drank drank drank! Going to the bathroom a lot is good, if you suddenly stop going to the bathroom after retrieval you might have developed ohss.

@ mnor : thanks for the response, yes i gained 10 lbs , i went today for my blood works and US, per dr everything looks good. Its just uncomfortable, silly i wore jeans today( i usually wear big long skirt) and in addition with the jeans my bum is sore coz i slipped coz it was icy last monday.
Tomorro will be my big day. Im confuse regarding why we need to eat salty food? ( is in it salt retain water? - husband question)
