Everything went great with my ultrasound and blood work for the FET yesterday. I confirmed this morning with my clinic that they received the test results. I am not sure if I mentioned it but I am doing out of town monitoring and than traveling about 6 hours to my clinic in NY for the actual transfer. My original IVF was done in NY and I have family that lives there that I stayed with for the first cycle and I will probably do the same this time as well.
Okay so I talked to the nurse at my fertility clinic and she confirmed that they got the test results. Everything looks good and I have the green light to move forward! So a Surprise came when the nurse said I should start my meds today! I was like, Wait, What? I thought I started on CD 21! She told me they no longer do the long protocol, and they haven't since last summer, so I can go ahead and do my cycle this month and my embryo transfer would take place around the 20th of February! I was shocked, and I told her that I thought I was on the long protocol and would be transferring around the end of MArch, i told her I needed to speak to my DH and make sure we can do it this month!
So after being in shock for a little while, speaking to DH and my sister up north in NY we are going to move forward with doing it this month! The weather has warmed up some since our last storm and even in NY all of the snow has melted, so hopefully the end of February stays warmer so I don't run into any problems weather wise.
My meds start today! I am on a low dose aspirin, 3 pills of estaridol inserted vaginally daily and 5 units of lupron injections once a day! Looking on the bright side we will have to pay less towards the monitoring costs on a shorter protocol then we would of on the longer protocol! I also am supposed to start prenatals, but I have already started those so i will just continue like I already have been! I am happy that I will be due in November, in the Fall instead of December, the weather will be milder and cold and flu season isn't as bad in November either, so I am pumped and ready to go after the initial shock! LOL!
Can I join in? I am going to do a FET in March and I am planning on transferring 2 of my 3 frosties! They are 5 day embryos. Good luck to everyone! 
Oh joy! 
I am excited in a way to get the ball rolling wth my FET but also really nervous all at the same time. Wish me luck! Fingers crossed that everything comes back normal so I can move forward with the FET. 
Good luck! My cycles range from 28 days to 31 so they can change for me as well. That stinks about having to pay out of pocket for your medications. 
Maybe you should check and see if your insurance would cover an alternative medication. I am using Endometrin which is a vaginal progesterone insert and is cheaper. I have to pay for my entire cycle out of pocket so I noticed a big difference in price for this vrs the crinone. Good luck! 
No they didn't mention success rates being any different with one medication over the other. You can always try googling it to see if there is anything about that available. 
My fertility clinic prescribed it for my FET without me requesting to use it though. I don't think they would prescribe it if they didn't feel it would work as good as crinone though. I know they are both progesterone suppositories though so I am assuming it would work just as good. 
I am currently on BC pills, expecting to have my ER around beginning/middle of march. Very nervous and excited at the same time!
