Anyone doing FET/IVF in Jan 2013 till everyone's BFP (Everyone Welcome)

My office doesn't have a PA just the MD and RN but I may call and ask if that is right. I guess the meds do control things but I really don't want my lining to be super thik by then as it would affect implantation. I think they are counting cd1 as estrace start day which it was cd6 actually. Thanks for the info Ali. If my re is away I will not let any other re do the transfer so maybe that's it?

It wouldn't hurt to give them a call and question it. I think they often get confused, and maybe that is what happened? I've found that if you don't question these things they just go on their merry way and your cycle may or may not be correct. If you don't call, make sure you question it on Monday!
 
Yay flower and ever! Congrats on being PUPO! I hope the tww flies for you!

Ali, so glad you get to keep moving forward!

Mo, I was worried about that too- I requested a Friday transfer because of my job, and the calendar they gave me put Transfer Day on CD33. I asked the scheduling nurse about it but she said to worry because they are controlling my lining with the meds.
 
Thanks edamame. I am going to call just to be sure. I'll call soon after I finish my lunch :)
 
Okay so just got off phone with clinic. Transfer is the week of 22nd. Apparently the lab is closed until then (again lack of communication! They should have told me!). The nurse said that they are controlling my cycle with the estrace and since I won't ovulate the lining shouldn't get too thick for transfer. I still worry though. Also I asked to get my thyroid checked out since I've never had this checked (although I don't think it's abnormal) and she said we could check it! Yay. So that's the last thing I need tested for mc work-up (besides all the nk cells testing).
 
Hi Ladies!
Ever congrats on being PUPO!
Mo, good luck with everything. I have an abnormal thyroid, so they are always checking it.
Ali, hope all goes as planned.

AFM, we made the difficult decision to proceed using donor eggs. We should get our first set of profiles this week. We also found out DH is going to be leaving for 4 months or so. Looks like if we get a donor picked out I will be going this cycle alone :(
 
Mells - I'm sure it feels great to have decided a way forward? Hopefully they can match you before your DH goes or could you decide to wait? Perhaps you would rather just go for it?

Mo - my clinic has the same theory, as long as lining is ok they don't seem to mind which cd it is. I guess when they are in full control they have that flexibility? Still, they should have communicated with you!

Flower - congrats on being PUPO

Ali - so glad you can move forward with this cycle!! Much better news.

Xx
 
Ali that's great news you get to move forward with your trial! That means real FET will be here in no time!

Ever and Flower congrats on being PUPO!!

Mells, I can only imagine how difficult it was to decide to move on to DE. But exciting now to know you have a plan and one with excellent success rates. That really sucks your dh might have to be away for everything. Hopefully you have other support to help you through. :hugs:

Mo I think sometimes the docs forget how much we think/overthink every little step in the process as for us the stakes are so high. They are so used to the process and why they do what they do I think they just forget sometimes. Good that you questioned them and made sure everything was ok. I too had my transfer for FET late on cd26.
 
Ever - yeah for being PUPO. Good luck with the 2ww! :thumbup:

Ali - great news on finally getting todo your FET!!! You must be so relieved! :happydance:

Mells - wonderful that you've decided to move forward with DEs. What a decision it must be to do this without your DH. But if you have other support then totally move forward - this thread is great and I'm sure will keep you going. So exciting!! :happydance:
 
Ever-Congrats on being PUPO!!!! Sending you good vibes of calmness and love! OTD will be here before you know it.

Mells- Ugh... I know what it's like to have DH gone during treatments and critical times. I'm sorry you are having to go through this. :hugs: As a fellow military spouse, I wish I could help. What a strong woman and couple you must be to decide to use donor eggs AND do the cycle alone. I admire your determination.

AFM- I had my post-op appointment today and the Dr says I only need to come back if I have a problem. So, I plan to spend the next few months recovering and getting back in shape before we get to VA and find a RE there to start over. I would like to continue to check on you all so I can see all the BFP announcements that are sure to start rolling in. :hug:
 
Thanks ladies! I know in my hear this is the best decision for us right now. I also know that it won't be easy going it alone, but given the uncertainty of us moving after he gets back is added to the mix. Plus, it will definitely keep me busy this time around. What a story we could tell our children...you were conceived while your dad and I were in different countries! Modern medicine at its finest!

Lotus, I hope that everything works out for you two. I think being a military spouse and dealing with infertility is especially challenging. This is my 3rd RE and that's why we are planning to forge ahead even while separated. I think it will be harder on DH than me since I'll be hearing the doc first hand, etc.
 
Ever: congrats on being PUPO as well :happydance:

Lotus: glad you are recovering well after the Op.. Yup take it easy the next few months :hugs:

Mells: sorry DH will be away.. We will b here to give u our full support :hugs:
 
Mells, what a huge decision, congratulations! Sorry your DH will be away. :(
 
Morning Ladies!

Lotus, glad to hear everything went well with the surgery make sure you send time looking after you for a while and sure you will be raring to go in the summer :hugs:

Mells, Sorry to hear DH won't be around while this whole process is going on but as flower said we are here to support also. :hugs: I'm sure it's more important to have DH around when you get your forever baby :hugs:

Mo, Great to hear you have a date and sure everything will be fine with regards to your lining it's amazing what they can do with the medicated cycles, lets get this show on the road. :happydance:

Ever, PUPO yay!!!!! :happydance:

Hope the rest of you ladies are doing well :hugs:

AFM, bleeding has stopped so only 2 days of heavy bleeding so haven't a clue what is going on. :wacko: I think the 24th March was cd1 and this bleed was just an added extra which i could of done without. Only 5 days and counting til WTF appt!!!! yay :happydance: xx
 
L4Hope & Wannabee...hope you are both feeling AWESOME!!

Ever & Flower...hope you guys are holding up well! Are either of you you guys taking estrace and/or progesterone??

Ali...I'm so excited for Monday! Biopsy is still on right??

Sandy...I bet you are really looking forward to your WTF appt. I take it this is where the doc fills you in on what he/she thinks went wrong and what you should do to improve things moving forward??

Mells...I think what you're doing is great. Sometimes you just have to do what is going to work and it IS going to work!!! Your future babes will be endlessly entertained by this tale for sure!!

MoBaby...I read your blog and it seriously brought tears to my eyes! You are one brave broad!!! Is the transfer still scheduled for later this month?? Lining check real soon though right??

Lotus...I like your plan, getting your mind and body where you need them to be definitely can't hurt!!! Did you have any luck researching jobs that cover IVF??

BabyD...hope you are feeling ok. Thinking of you!

FirstTry...not sure where you're at in your cycle, sorry, but I wanted to say Hi!!!

If I forgot anyone...FORGiVE ME! This is my first attempt at "personals" and it's hard!!! I kept trying to go back to make sure I had my facts straight and my phone kept resetting, so it's taken like 4 tries!!! HA!!

AFM...I'm 6dp3dt. No weight gain, so I suppose the fluid-filled-ovaries situation is under control. Phew!! Now I just can't tell which end is up symptom-spotting wise...everything I think I feel could DEF be brought on by the estrace or Progesterone for sure! OTD is Tuesday, so I just gotta stay cool til then....sigh.
 
turkey thanks for reading my blog!!! :) I needed a way to get things out and the blog is perfect! Yes, transfer scheduled week of april 22nd (im hoping the 23!) its so close but too far away!
 
Thanks Turkey! It's definitely challenging keeping up with everyone when this thread is buzzing so!! You did a great job though and we all understand that sometimes we miss one or two sometimes. I try to check in daily if I can to help with losing track of everything but of course that doesn't always work! :haha:

You're getting close to test day. Hopefully you have things to keep you busy over the weekend. The symptom spotting is do tough as they overlap so much. Hopefully they are good signs!
 
Turkey- I found a list online of companies whose insurance covers IVF, but the information is old, so some is incorrect. It's going to require some more digging. :shrug: Either way, I will get a job to save $ for another round as well as pay for the last one. I'm also working to expand my online jewelry business. :thumbup:
