[L4hope]

Babies I'm a little late to the party today, but OMG another bfp for sure!!! So excited for you!

 

[MoBaby]

Babies!! Congrats!!


I spoke with the RE nurse today.. Mainly b/c went I went running I came back and was bleeding but I don't know if it's af or not which I don't think it is but anyways she said to call with af.... I have one more provera left. So real af should come in 4-5 days... THEN she said earliest fet would be week of march 25th which is out for me b/c of work but then she said around 3rd week in April and I will start estrace with af and come in for bloods, ultrasound etc... But that would be 6-7 weeks on estrace... Sounds like a long time to me?? But anyways looks like 3rd week in April for fet

Babies- massive congrats!!

Mo- not sure about estrace as not been on it before. Did you question nurse about it or did you think of it as you ended conversation?

AFM - I'm having a lining check tomorrow afternoon. Using this cycle to investigate.. We'll see what news tomorrow brings!!

Xx

 

[MoBaby]

I think I figured it out... I would have a period and then get the bloods, u/s, etc then with next AF start the estrace...That would make sense as estrace is taken for 20 days before the transfer so if AF comes Monday or so it would be right in line with transfer week of april 15th. I think I will do that as this cycle has been far to messed up to try I think with the cyst, the abnormal lining, the provera...I just want to be back to normal when the times comes for FET. I dont want to rush anything..But if I were to have AF by monday I think transfer would be around the end of the week of the 18th.... I will get timing from the nurse when AF comes and see. Also will have nurse speak to RE about it...does he want to go now or wait..I dont think 6 weeks on estrace is right as my lining would be way to think.

OMG, I totally fell off my chair at "Grapes of Wrath" thats awesome!

Babies - I am with Lotus...I did the are you kidding me...the pic is blurry and not very good and I can still see the 2nd line....Girl you are pregnant! Congrats!!!!!

Mo - sorry for the wait hun! It seems this ltttc thing is worse is so many ways because you have to be so patient...waiting two weeks at a time and then going on to ivf it is a cycle at a time.

ever - I hope everything goes well tomorrow!

Hey Mo! I have heard of some clinics putting their patients on BCP for the month prior to a FET. I think it is for women that irregular cycles and/or for women that have a history of cysts? So you could ask them about starting the pill when AF comes this time, then stopping it to get your next period and then starting the estrace at that point. They can also manipulate your cycle this way so that you won't have to wait until the 3rd week of April. They did that with me when I was trying to have my IVF ER/ET a certain week in December. They are sneaky/creative that way. So I'd definitely talk to them about it. See what they say. I know BCP are horrible, and the last thing you want to be on, but it does help ensure you get a period, and prevent cysts.

It sounds like we will be pretty close together for our FET's, I think mine will be around April 5-12th.

 

[MoBaby]

Funny thing is I dont have a history of irreguar cycles OR cysts lol. I think all these drugs have done this to me! And then my body recovering from the pregnancy and mc and d/c...

What the clinic usually does is check progesterone at day 14 or 16 and if you havent ovulated the do provera to ensure the transfer time. I dont know whats better- provera or BCP! I may ask about BCP when AF comes just because I do want to make sure I am on track. I dont want any more delays past last week in April. I just dont know if the bleeding that has started to day is AF or not...It feels like it but also not! I was having leg pain last night like I do before AF and I have been bitchy...BUT it started after running with no warning which is what this bleeding has been doing! IDK..IF it is still there in the morning then maybe I will call to come in for a scan and bloodwork. Can they tell if you are having a period with the scan / bloodwork?

 

[Em260]

Babies - congrats!! That line is really dark!!

Hold - Thank you! How are you? I hope everything is going well!

Mo - you should ask about BCP just in case so you don't have any delays. I hope everything works out and you are set for an April FET!

Sandy - sorry about the pile (I had no idea what that was either hehe) but glad it's not AF!!

Ever - good luck tomorrow!

AFM - I'm going for my last monitoring appt tomorrow morning. IUI will be on Saturday. I can't wait to be in the 2ww!! I ordered some ICs so I can test out my trigger and POAS obsessively

 

[ashknowsbest]

babies - congrats on your BFP!

Em - yay for IUI on Saturday! Are you so excited?!! I can't wait to see all of your tests! I love line spotting!

 

[Em260]

babies - congrats on your BFP!

Em - yay for IUI on Saturday! Are you so excited?!! I can't wait to see all of your tests! I love line spotting!

Hi Ash! Omg yes I'm super excited . I haven't POAS since last September. How are you feeling?

 

[ashknowsbest]

OMG september?! I didn't know it had been that long! Yay for POAS! I'm an addict also but I think this time around I'm going to try and hold out so avoid the disappointment early on.

I'm doing pretty good. I've been getting pretty bad headaches which I'm sure are caused by the hormones but I'm pretty good otherwise Just getting excited for the ER!

 

[Mells54]

Babies, congrats! I see a line as well.

Ash, I hear you about the headaches. Are you on Lupron? Today is the first day I don't have a headache and I stopped Lupron two days ago now.

Em, good luck on Saturday

Mo, hopefully time will go fast for you and FET will be here soon.

AFM, I'm a wreck in anticipation of ER tomorrow morning. Can't wait to take that Valium...LOL!

Hi to everyone! Hope more BFPs start rolling in!

 

[Edamame]

Congratulations Babies!! What a nice strong BFP!!

Em- good luck with your IUI on Saturday!

Ash- one week left, so close now!

 

[ashknowsbest]

mells - I am on lupron but I actually didn't start getting headaches until I started my gonal F and menopur. I don't know which is causing them, but they suck! Not to mention I'm exhausted! I napped from 1:30 until 5 today! Good luck at your ER!!!! Can't wait to hear how many eggs you get

edamame - thanks, it is so close and I can't wait! I go in tomorrow for a scan and can't wait to see how my follicles are growing!

 

[FirstTry]

Babies: congratulations! Sticky vibes...

Hope: nice to hear from you. Congrats on reaching the second trimester!

Mo: my clinic puts everyone on 18 days of BCPs before an FET.

:wave: everyone else

So, DH spoke with the dr and wants to transfer one, due to complications with twin pregnancies. Ugh. I think I have to go with that. Imagine if I insisted on two and something bad happened...

I hope everything goes well but I have a raised eyebrow with more than a month dose of estrace...have you considered trying a diff RE?

DH wanted to transfer 1 too and the embryologist also kept suggesting we transfer 1 because the embies were so great, I was just too scared because after 2 failed ivfs and having to leave work plus all the emotional stress, appts, injections etc, I just cant handle another disappointment so I;ll rather prevent what I have the control of. We asked for privacy and after almost 15min debate, I won and we did 2 lol. I would have done 3 if I could, I know

 

[Boofle]

Babies massive congrats

Em yay for iui so excited for you

Sandy phew you've got a pile so glad it wasn't af I bet that was real scary

Edamame how r u?

Hi to everyone else
