After failed attempts with Femara, then Clomid & 2 IUI's, we've decided to move to IVF, since time I'm not getting any younger:)
We live in the Seattle area & were introduced to a terrific Fertility Clinic & have begun the IVF journey.
As of today, taking Menopur 75, Follistim 300 & Lupron 5. Estimated ER 2/1 & ET 2/6. Went in yesterday for my 1st U/S & B/W, only 7 follicles on right side...had hard time finding left ovary, gave up after finding just 2 follicles on that side (hoping a few are hiding!). And estrogen levels lower then what they wanted, I didn't ask the #'s, was trying not to spring tears...anyways, they upped my Follistim to 375. Go in tomorrow for ART cycle day #6 for next U/S & B/W, hoping for better results.
Anyways, only a few people know we are going thru this so turn to FT for support! And I love this site!! Waiting is so hard & my DH is great but a typical guy in the mind set if it happens it happens, if not move on or try again. For me, its not so black & white!! And I cant share my emotional woes into lemondrops for thankful to have you all:)

Chick ~ sounds like you probly did have cysts but woohoo for the follies you do have, hopefully you will have your ER in the next few days. Try not to stress about it everyones experience with it is different Im sure yours will go perfectly...Im doing ok just ben busy looking for houses (our landlord is selling the house we rent so we need to find a new rental) and trying to think of nothing but positive thoughts towards the FET.
Babyburns ~ woohoo for your embies still going strong thats awesome. Sounds like you've got some real little strong bubbas there...My ohss got worse after ET because I got preggers from the cycle and pregnancy can make ohss whose because of all the added hormones runing thru your system. You sound exactly like I did with saying you feel like crap and are unsure if you'd go thru this again. Thats why I was so hesitante of doing a FET but once they told me that I wouldnt be stimmed and there was no injections involved then thats whn I said what the hell lets get this show on the road lol
Not sure if any of you are interested but this is my embie at 5 day transfer. This embie went on to be the baby I m/c on 8th Jan 2010
