Edit #2: We'll be combining the Precious Penguins, February Flurries, and 3T IVF check-ins (at least for now, until our numbers are stronger here). I'll post a separate thread shortly.

Tag away and message me or any of the other IVF check-in leaders emmuffy, SweetieShellie, bootsorhearts, lemonliz, NariaDreaming with any questions.

QOTD: Someone hands you and your partner an open-ended round-trip plane ticket to anywhere. Where are you flying off to, and for how long?

I'm here! Thanks for finding me! Waiting super impatiently for my consult tomorrow. Very excited to have our plan on place!

Hiiiii everyone!

Waiting for a few hours until my check in. Can't hardly keep it together. Today should be last day of stims, day 12. Get to schedule the retrieval for hopefully Saturday.

Hope more people come over!

QOTD: we would go to Australia, hands down. We always loved the idea of going there, but on our honeymoon last year we met an awesome couple how were honeymooners too from Australia. That was back in May 2014, and we still skype and chat with them almost every week.so, we'd love to visit them and explore the country.

Hi everyone!! I am stimming away, likely ER on Monday ish. Didn't get a follow count from the nurse this AM but she said things are looking good. Hope you all are doing well!

I am both a Penguin and a Flurry

I am patiently (NOT) awaiting my doctor call to tell me how many embryos made it to today (day 5) for the freeze. Fingers crossed!

I'd like to join!  I was in the September and November groups, but when I went to TB to join the February group... well I don't think I need to elaborate.

This is FET #2 (had ER in Sep '14 and FET #1 in Nov '14), and I start my meds for my next FET on Saturday (Lupron and Del Estrogen).

QOTD: I'm going to go with Africa.  We both really want to go do a safari, among other things, but I don't think we'd want to stay longer than 7-10 days.  

I'll create my siggy and add some badges this evening.

Hola Ladies!! I'm here - same SN same avatar as on Voldemort. Hope to see more of us make our way over here!

I'm still on Lupron and will be starting stims on the 21st. So just trucking along really.

Now to figure out how to add badges to my siggy...

ETA: I totally forgot to mention this before.  We met with our RE yesterday and he told us that their goal is to retrieve about 70% of the available follicles during ER.  I guess from lurking on previous month's check-ins there are a lot of reports of finding more follies than expected but I've never seen someone report that fewer follies were retrieved than expected.  Anyone else's RE provide any stats like this?

[bluefairy5]

sundaybrunch Did he mean the goal was for 70% of the follies to contain an egg? Because I know I've seen PP who went into ER with a ridiculous # of follies and were told their much lower retrieval # was due to empty follies.
