5000 Comments Fifth Anniversary 500 Love Its First Answer
edited November 2014 in Getting Pregnant
The plan was to trigger tonight for ER Tuesday. My RE just called, not a nurse. My estrogen level is 7900. I haven't been on Menopur or Bravelle for two nights already. He wants me to coast again tonight and just do the lupron. Tomorrow morning I go in for bloodwork and ultrasound again. If my estrogen drops below 4000, 5000 at most, ER will be Wednesday. If it doesn't drop enough, he's going to discuss options. He said it SHOULD drop, but it never should have risen like this based on how low meds I have been on. Right now if I triggered, it would be guaranteed severe OHSS. I'm trying to take this in stride. But I am worried we're going to get pushed to a freeze all or worse cancelled.

Re: More IF Stress. **update in comments**

  • I hope that it all works out, but at the very worst, I hope it's just a freeze all that needs to happen. Definitely not what your brain and heart have prepared themselves for though. Hang in there!

  • So sorry, love. Hoping your levels drop asap. Let me know if you want to chat. It sounds very similar to my experience- freeze all and severe ohss. Even though it sucked to wait, it was so worth it to get my body back to normal.

    Thanks everyone. I went in for the blood work and ultrasound this morning. I'll get a call this afternoon letting me know what is happening. 

    I'm trying not to think about it, but I can't help it. I don't think I even have enough really to do to keep me distracted from thinking about it at work today.

  • So sorry! Hope that coasting one more night will do the trick. Let us know if you need anything. Hopefully freezing is the result! Ours were frozen, and my doctor recommended it to get the hormones out of my system. He said my body would be better prepared for the transfer if we froze.

  • @islandmonkey8 is there an update? Sorry if I'm prying.
  • Not prying at all! I was just coming to update. Thank you for thinking of me!

    Estrogen dropped. From 7900 to 7812. Yea. He's coasting me one more night. ER will hopefully be on Thanksgiving. I really hope my number actually drops this time. They said it's not normal to coast for 2 days and only drop 88. Either way, Friday is the latest they'll do ER, otherwise we're cancelled.

    Our families are sort of understanding that I won't be able to go to them on Thursday. I mean, they get it, but we're still getting somewhat of a guilt treatment. DH is disappointed with them some though. He (and I really) thought one of our families would offer to come and do Thanksgiving here so we can all be together. (His family is celebrating a few blocks away, mine 15 minutes away) Instead, DH said he may go to one of the houses and grab food for us to eat here together. I feel bad for being upset that they don't seem to get that I'm not really supposed to be out and about after anesthesia.
