Flowermal - sounds like you have a good plan for going forward. Hope you have a good rest during your time off.

Edamame - yay you're getting so close!

Ali - hope those results come in asap and you can be on your way to transfer! Is your biopsy similar to the Yale endometrial fxn test?

Thanks EM.. I'm not sure what the Yale test is. This test is an endometrial receptivity test, where they determine whether your endometrium is open to implantation. There is some protein (I think that is what it is) that is supposed to be present, and a few other things they check. So if the results come back that it wasn't receptive, we retest following the guidelines they provided. So for example normal protocol states to do the FET after estrogen priming on the 5th day after progesterone supplementation. However not all women are receptive at that point, so they can tell if it is too soon or too late, and suggest a re-test on an earlier/later day. Then we wait again for the results and hope that my uterus is receptive on the second biopsy. If so then we do the FET on that date. I'm hoping that the results of this first biopsy show I was receptive, and we can just move forward :thumbup: But if not, we do the second test, and use their suggested protocol. :wacko:

Ah ok, I think it is very similar to the Yale endometrial function test. I came across it the other day on a blog. They are testing for cyclins, which are proteins. Here is a paper on it that has a really good explanation:

I wonder if these are the same proteins yours is testing. Fascinating stuff!! It's pretty amazing how they can pinpoint the time that your endometrium is receptive to implantation.

Yes! Very similar I think! Definitely cool stuff. I just want my results back!!! LOL!!! :haha:
 
Thanks everyone- I'm hopeful!

Ash- Don't know when I'm getting AF, but from what the doctors are estimating- we may have our FET the same day... you said my embies are good quality.. are they? I thought AA was the best... AB and BB seem 'OK'. I hope I"m wrong!

and MoBaby- Thanks for the clarification! I was nervous when they told me that they're only checking me during medicated cycle like 3 times... def thought they'd miss my Ovulation! What estrogen pills were you on.. they said i'll be on two pills a day for two weeks... then the third week I pick the day I want the FET. And.. I have to be on PIO.. is that for 10 weeks like the suppositories?
 
Hi all! Welcome to the new members. I hope everyone is doing well.

I started lupron today and will take my last BC tonight. Then I have an apt for a baseline us on Wednesday. I'm excited to get the ball rolling on this cycle!

I have a question for you ladies. For those of you who were or are on lupron, where do you inject it? For ivf #1, they told me to inject in my thigh. That's what we did this morning because they didn't tell us where to inject it this time. I've heard of others injecting it in their belly. Does anyone know if it makes a difference where it's injected? I emailed my ivf coordinator this morning, but she didn't email me back.
 
I've only ever injected in my stomach- within two inches of my belly button.. gets really sore but I was told not to use my thigh or arms or butt unless it was for the PIO... hope that helps!
 
I injected in my belly also. Thigh is okay but don't get into muscle :)
 
baby - another cycle buddy would be awesome! I think your quality embryos are great, if they're not then I'm screwed because I think mine was a BC or something like that .... eeck!

lucie - I also injected in my belly, each time. I was told I could do it in my thigh but idk that seemed like it would hurt more to me for some reason. I'm not sure it matters though ?
 
Lucie I was told belly or thigh. Funny that ash thought the thigh would hurt more and I thought the belly would hurt more so I used my thigh! :haha: I used my thigh for all stim shots and trigger. The only one that was different was PIO. Since its IM they had me use the tush. You should be just fine!
 
Mo - good luck tomorrow!! Fx for a smooth transfer!

Lucie - I did all of my injects in the belly too. I also thought the thigh sounded painful:shrug:
 
Thanks for the tips ladies! We did the first shot in my thigh this am and all day that leg has ached pretty badly. I think we will try the belly tomorrow.
 
Returning to boards after 15 months!

Had successful IVF round in Nov 2010, froze two 5-day blasts. Fast fwd -- now, we have a delicious, sweet, chatty 20 month old. And we did an FET with our two frosties last Friday.

Driving myself a little mad with dollar store pg tests.
Here's this afternoon's pic. Hoping its real, not a chemical, that I can trust it.
On left is yesterday, on right is today. Thoughts?
Husband says he has no faith in cheap tests, waiting for blood test on Wed.

Lucie- I always did Lupron in the thigh. Sometimes it bothered me for a bit, but the majority of the time it was fine. I found it to be easier than the belly because of the angle.
 
Mercy- a line is a line! I can't wait to see more results from you! Congrats! :happydance:
