dsinha1011 CONGRATS! That's so wonderful!! Best wishes for continuing good numbers on Saturday!
michelebelle80 sounds terrific!
AFM, donor's retrieval was this morning. For some reason, they only got 12 eggs and some weren't mature. So we ended up getting 5 mature, and 1 immature that might grow up enough to fertilize. I guess recipient #2 got 4. I feel badly for the recipient in position #3 - her cycle was cancelled. We will get the call with the fertilization report tomorrow. Hopefully it's good. My husband typically has rockstar sperm - all 3 of our IVFs with my eggs, we had 100% fertilization.

What protocols has everyone been using for their ivf cycles and were they successful?
I used an antagonist last time and it was converted to IUI and if I'm not pregnant then we are going to try the long lupron but I'm wondering if the micro dose would be better for me.
Well, I hope there are a lot of successful stories and hope everyone gets their BFPs!!!!
Good luck and thanks in advance for the responses:-)

Hey ladies,
dsinha - That's amazing news. I'm looking forward to hearing what your results are on Saturday!
michelebelle - My baseline is coming up super quick. My girls trip is next week. I think it's probably the best way to keep my mind off of everything coming up the week after. I'm glad your numbers are coming along nicely. I'll look forward to checking in and hearing about your retrieval next week.
essemkay - I'm keeping my fingers crossed that your eggs fertilize and grow really well.
luckykap - I'm doing the antagonist protocol for my cycle.
AFM - pretty much I'm packing and getting ready for my trip and once I get home I'll be starting my baseline.

Margie_M - have a terrific trip!!
Here's my last update for a few days. As of this morning, we have 5 embryos (1 2-cell, 1 3-cell, 2 4-cells, and 1 5-cell). Transfer is scheduled for Monday morning. They won't look in on my little embabies again until then. So hopefully, they'll all be snug and growing well on their own!

Hi ladies!
Sorry I've been MIA but I've been really enjoying my summer. I noticed there are some new ladies (welcome!) and a lot of posts so if I miss anyone I apologize.
babypath- congrats on graduating to an OB. It's a great feeling. Hope your pregnancy is continuing to go well. My anatomy scan is scheduled for 8/25 and I'll be a day shy of 20 weeks that day. So excited to see baby again! We are waiting to find out the sex but it'll be so fascinating to see how baby has grown and get close ups of the anatomy.
essemay- welcome back to the group! good luck with donor IVF. Hope egg transfer goes well and we hear news about a bfp!
michele- welcome back! sorry about all the delays. must be so frustrating. good luck with upcoming FET.
hoping- I am so sorry for your bfn. Life just does not seem fair sometimes. I'm glad you have your 8 frozen embies to try again.
margie- I was never on bed rest, just pelvic rest (no sex) but was glad to get off of that with 2nd trimester sex drive lol. I'm continuing to feel great. 2nd trimester is so much better that 1st trimester. Looks like your baseline is coming up soon! Good luck and keep us posted!
lucky- welcome to the forum! This is a great group of ladies. I hope the 8th IUI is the charm! Fingers crossed for a bfp!
ds- Congrats on the bfp! Wishing you a happy and healthy nine months!
bens- how are you doing? Hope you're feeling well!
AFM- 18w1d and feeling great. My energy is back so I've been exercising more. Went on an amazing hike Monday with the hubby. 8.5 miles with 1100 feet of elevation gain to 6550. Felt great the whole time. Plan on doing another hike later today to watch the sunset over the mountains. Elevation will be a little higher but should be fine. My OB said not to go over 9000 as we live at 3600ft so should be ok. I'll just take it slow if I need to. My sister's shower was a lot of fun. She is 30 weeks now. I also officially "came out" on fb and posted belly pics of my sister and I. The pics were so fun. We wore matching shirts that said "feed me and tell me I'm pretty". LOL Anyway, continuing to enjoy my last few weeks of summer break before I return to work on the 30th. I also have my anatomy scan coming up on the 25th. So excited to have another peak at baby. I also think I'm starting to feel baby too which is really cool. Just little flutters here and there but I really don't think it's gas lol.

Hi Jfmolo - nice to hear from you! I am feeling great. I will be 24 weeks on thursday. GOOD FOR YOU for exercising that much. I have been walking a bit, but in this summer heat I get so overheated so fast. Yesterday I thought I was going to pass out. So I am taking it easy. When the cooler weather returns, I will be out walking again. At 18 weeks though, that IS the baby you feel I am sure.
