That's great compassrose! Are you on cabergoline? Remember, LOTS of salty fluids and protein! I've been keeping a bottle of soy sauce and a shot glass on the kitchen counter, and taking one or two of those a day. Adding salt to my powerade zero. 2 cans of V8 daily. Beef jerky, sausages, cheese, eggs, canned beans and veggies, chicken broth.

Yup, I am! Thank you for the adviceāI heard none of that from my doctor or nurse.

Well, 27 retrieved, 22 were mature & injected with sperm, only 12 have fertilized so far (there might be a few more). I can call on Friday for the Day 3 report. They will biopsy on Day 5. Not as many as I was hoping for (since I expect a large number of them to be non-normal), but will hopefully give at least a couple of normals.

compassrose thinking positive thoughts for those 12 fertilized so far! I hope you get a good day 3 report, I know how nerve wracking those reductions in numbers can be.
Who is next for beta? Mine is July 5, seeyalater52 is July 6, and I think compassrose and greengardener are doing PGS, so transfers are later? Correct me if I'm wrong. ivy, you have beta Friday, yes?
Damn, I need a post-it! One of the old posters used to literally keep a post-it on her work desk to keep up with everyone's cycles. She'd have an update post every week.
My clinic just called with our PGS results. Of the 5 embryos that were tested, 4 were normal. 3 female and 1 male. We decided at the drs reccomendation to only do PGS testing if we had 4 or more embryos. Based on our last cycle, we didnāt think there was a chance we would have that many so we didnāt bother having the one we transferred tested. Gah, I wish we had now! Hopefully so many of them being normal combined with transferring the best looking one means this one is normal too.

Yes, my beta is Friday. I was just thinking about cactuscookie and her post it! She kept us in line
On my way home from retrieval. Got 15 this time! Last time was 10 so I'm thrilled. Yes, doing PGS, so not transferring this cycle. Have one good one on ice that will likely transfer next month.
One beautiful 4AA blast transferred! Peeing has never felt so good.
And we had five good ones frozen!!!! I am beside myself.
That is fantastic!!!
And mentioning that peeing never felt so good is bringing some Vicodin induced lost memories back to me! I had pee sooooo badly that I after I was on the table for transfer, I said nope, no way I'm not going to make it! They let me up to use the bathroom and I was allowed to pee just a tiny bit but it helped! OMG, I forgot all about that hahaha!

I had to partially empty my bladder TWICE beforehand and I definitely still dribbled on the table. So embarassing. I drank the minimum amount of water they directed, I guess Iām just an embryo transfer flunkie!

Me too. I have a nurse's bladder, so I can easily hold a liter of pee before needing to go. My last 2 transfers, I partially emptied my bladder before each one, and after transfer, they cathed me. They got out 1300 and 1400 ml of pee.
This time, I had a cup of coffee and that was it. My bladder was plenty full but not uncomfortably so.

I may have dribbled, I have no idea. That Valium really messed me up. I barely remember the whole thing!
