Ali gl with the provera! My lovely body decided to not respond at all to it. Maybe you need a more continuous form of estrogen vs the shot? Idk. Does your dr offer any explanation?? I only have 13 more bcp left then hopefully af 3-4 days after that then I can get this show on the road!!

YAY for you! I really hate the waiting game, so I hope the next 2 weeks go quickly for you!

I've had luck with the provera before, but I'm going to bring up the BCP option, and also the vaginal suppositories as well as ask if there are any supplements that we should do. The FS is changing my estrogen from the shot to the patch which should give me more continuous support since it is literally a patch stuck to your skin. At this point I would rather just do the right thing the first time, so if that means a trip down BCP lane to get a better lining, then so be it!

I'm feeling so much better today. My only friend that knows we are doing IVF, texted me to say she is thinking positive thoughts for me and just "feels" like I'm pregnant. We don't live in the same state so That made me feel so good.
OTD is Friday, but after talking to DH this morning, I may POAS a stick tomorrow or Thursday. Honestly, all of my AF symptoms are really not bad. I have some cramping, but I don't get AF cramps usually, and everything smells weird to me. I kept washing my hands yesterday bc I thought they smelled like vinegar. DH smelled them and said no they smell like soap!

cali - Yep I live in the bahamas currently. The plane they came down on was a 6 seater. They took the seats out and put the cages in the main cabin. I went with them onto the runway and watched them take off! Again, I think the sedative is a necessity because if they panic they could have a heart attack because of the stress and their size. At least this is what my vet told me. I didnt have to quarantine them as long as I got verternarian clearance and governmental within 48 hours of travel which was tricky!

Ali - sorry about the delay hun....did they say why the lining just thinned out like that?

lotus - good luck on your beta!

Everhopeful - Please let me know how the scratch goes.

l4hope - did you have your endo scratch done the month before IVF?

I have lots of friends in the Bahamas.. nice to live, but I bet it's a pain to do IVF. So do you end up coming to FL to do your treatments? Or is there a Dr in the Bahamas that will do the treatments?

I wish I knew why my lining thinned out It started out nice, built up to 10mm then started shriveling Plus it was a triple layer too. Makes no sense to me at all. My FS is thinking that it could be due to the method by which they do the shots. The estrogen shots are 2x a week, so the amount of estrogen in your body is not constant. With the patches the flow is constant so I guess it is better? At least for me? I'm going to ask them if there are other things I should be doing like supplements or maybe baby aspirin? I figure I will get AF in 7-10 days, so hopefully we can get the next cycle started quickly!

I wonder if I know some of your friends????? Yes it is a pain to do IVF....to have to travel to florida and I am lucky to have a job that I can be in Miami for 3 weeks. Yes def. look into supplements. I hope you guys can figure it out cuz that is crazy.

Most of them are on GBI. WOW, that is cool that you can come to Miami for 3 weeks while working. So you will come for the entire stim to ER and ET? Then go home after that?

Hi everyone....
Well I am officially PUPO!!!! I can't believe this day is finally here. It felt like it would never happen. So we lost one embie during the thaw process. Pretty disappointing. But they thawed another, so we got 2 transferred. They did have to have assisted hatching. I guess the zona was thick. A little worriesome. Anyone else have assisted hatching? This is going to be a long wait!! See my avatar pic for my beauties!!!

 

[L4hope]

Congrats Cali!! Rest up and let those embies snuggle in!

 

[MoBaby]

Yay Cali!!! Beautiful babies

 

[Em260]

Cali - congrats!! Beautiful picture!!

Mells - those symptoms sound promising! Fx for your beta on Fri!

 

[MoBaby]

Em!! I just saw your journal!!! Eek!!!!!!

 

[cali_kt]

Thanks ladies! Any helpful advice for the first 48 hours? I'm on a bed rest of sorts. No exercise. Nothing to raise blood pressure or temperature.

 

[Samsfan]

Cali- I am having assisted hatching. I don't see any down side. Why are you on bed rest? Congratulations! So exciting!

I'm triggering tonight and ER Thursday.

Em looks promising!! Hope to see those lines get darker! When do you go for beta?

 

[Samsfan]

I have 7 follies ranging from 22.5 to 13. I have none on the right side. All I need is one. So I'm hoping for the best.

Ali - yep I go over when ik start stimming because they need same day bloods which can't be done here and I leave about 3 days after et. Dh will be coming o er when they do er.....so I am on my own till then. Do you ever go to GBI? It is really a cool lil place. Very quiet.

Sounds like a great plan.. I do get over there, but not as often as I would like! My 2 dogs keep me from going over that often, plus IVF and FET and the constant office visits make it difficult too!

My beta was 186, which is low for 18 dpo. Now I have to call a Dr in AZ tomorrow and set up another beta for Thurs to see if the number doubles. I am hoping for the best but know that it isn't likely. I can't believe this is happening again. We have no more frosties and no more money to keep trying. My husband will be away for a few months, so this is pretty rough.
