@ChristinaV2015 my baseline is today too! I am still hoping for the Christmas miracle as well. I honestly don't know if I will still be able to do the FET on 12/15 yet, but should have some info today.

I'm back to my happy place. I got a lot of rest over the holiday weekend and did a lot of praying and meditating! Been drinking my Raspberry Leaf tea and made some Chicken Broth (as advised from my acupuncturist) and have been sipping on both to help thicken this lining up! The things we do...LOL

Baseline went well! Still looking at 12/15 for the transfer! Yay! I start the estrace pill 3 times vaginally today and then I go back next Wednesday to see how things are looking.
@ShayLatrice where did you purchase your tea? Also, do you know how chicken broth is supposed to help?
I'm glad your baseline went well and you are still on schedule for 12/15! My next appt is Wed as well, and I'm hoping all looks good to move ahead!
So my acupuncturist is Chinese and she said in Chinese medicine it is used to help thicken the lining. So she told me to make my own broth and I could add vegetables to it, but put in a whole chicken with skin and bones and boil it for at least 1 hours to make your broth. I boiled it for 2 hours and then added then removed the chicken and added some veggies. As far as the Raspberry Leaf tea, I got mine from the Vitamin Shoppe.

@ChristinaV2015 I am so sorry I understand what you mean so much, I was in the same boat as you because our clinic closes on the 15th and I needed not to have a late period to be able to do a FET before then. I was hoping it would come fast, and it ended up one day earlier than what the nurse guessed
My embryos are all day 5, so not the same as you. We will only transfer one because our clinic never does more than one except in extreme circumstances. Here in Canada it is hard to find RE's who will do more than one under normal circumstances. But hopefully this one sticks and stays there this time. And for you too. Are you hoping for twins? I really hope we both get amazing Christmas presents
@Imgibson20 Congratulations! That is an amzing HCG number, so happy for you

So the nurse called with my official US/BW info from this morning, everything is still good, but she mentioned that on transfer day I will be sedated. Basically a twilight just like I was for my ER. They are also giving me Valium. I've heard of the Valium, but never heard of being sedated for FET. Anyone else? She said something about the position of my uterus being hard to access, and it being easier and quicker and less painful if they did it this way. Makes me really nervous now though....

Valium is to help with any pain you may have afterwards due to your uterus being hard to access. my uterus is in a lil akward position as well so all the testing like HSG and Saline Ultrasound and the Mock Transfer were all SUPER complicated and painful. Don't be nervous... the fact that you will be sedated will make it so much easier for you.

@halips it's actually pretty common to prescribe Valium for the ET if you don't have a straight line from the cervix. If the RE hits the uterine lining due to the issue it could cause contractions and affect implantation as well as cause pain as @ShayLatrice mentioned. The Valium prevents that. Take it and enjoy. I've heard it's like being a really nice level of tipsy.
Thanks ladies! I've heard of the Valium, and am comfortable with it, but am actually more concerned with the twilight sedation on top of that. I've never heard of sedation plus Valium for FET. I think I'm disappointed about being asleep while/when I finally become PUPO.

@ShayLatrice 1 week countdown! How are you feeling?

So excited that December is here!!! It's my favorite month and it's so hard not to want to wish it away!
Annoying is hardly the word! LOL I guess inserting them is better than swallowing them?! Mine don't have an applicator either and it's just such a pain!
I heard that any little bump on the uterine lining can also cause issues with implantation so while it's frustrating that you will be asleep, it sounds like the best solution for the position of your uterus. I think the valium is used for anxiety and/or muscle spasms. If your SO is going with you, they can always use their phone to record the ultrasound used for placement. I know 2 girls at my clinic and they both record their ultrasounds!
@amos1417 I didn't even think of having DH record the ultrasound! Thanks for mentioning it!!

@halips I think I needed the additional days as irritated as I was that it got pushed because I'm finally feeling ready and no longer nervous. I was taking Estrace orally and now I'm doing it vaginally... thankfully only once before bed... but it's a STRANGE little situation I must say. If I wasn't already comfortable with my body, this whole IVF process sure woulda forced me to be. LOL... I'm so comfortable now I whipped out my Lupron shot and did it right in front of my friend while she was in mid sentence.
I'm so happy it is DECEMBER! Seems like we have been waiting on this month forever.

Hey everyone! Happy December. I have another bloodwork and ultrasound appointment tomorrow. If all goes well the transfer will be the 14th. Can't wait to see BFP's posted on here!
@halips .. I didn't realize you said sedation and Valium. I haven't heard of it done that way but Each doctor has their own way and reasoning for doing things. Anyone have FET's this week or is @ShayLatrice next??
@Joyzie77 Yay for a date being set! Fx that all goes as planned tomorrow!
I honestly think the estrogen patches are making me crazier than anything else! I am up to 4 a day now, plus the estrace. All this estrogen is making me SO tired and I'm crying at the most ridiculous things!

So exited it is finally December. Scared as well, but mostly excited actually, it is getting better and better the closer I get to the transfer, even just two weeks ago when I started injections all I could think about was losing another baby, but now I don't think about it as much, I think this one may be the one
I am also exited for all of you! Hopefully we all get the best gifts this year!

This estrace is kicking my butt!! I am so incredibly tired all of the time now too!! I haven't gotten to the overly emotional state, but I am sure I will be there soon. It makes me think back to me ER, my estrogen was up to 11,660! How did I even survive?! LOL
@amos1417 OMG the Estrace Fatigue is unreal... it hasn't made me overly emotional...but DH says that it has made me even more blunt than normal. Apparently I've been hurting a lot of people's feelings the last week or so. LOL
U/S went good today, my lining has thickened up and RE said it looks good and Dec 8th is my day! I'm ready! What I'm not ready for is the Progesterone shots that start tomorrow morning... ugh!

The headaches are horrible! So annoying... I'm only on estrace, so I'm assuming it's that.
Unexplained Infertility- Postive for MTHFR Gene Mutation
Natural cycles with 1 miscarriage
-3 IUI's w/ Clomid= BFN
-IVF #1-Follistim and Menopur= BFN
***11 Eggs, 10 mature, 8 fertilized, transferred 1 (day 5) 2 made it to freeze
-FET #1- Transferred 2, day 5 embryos =BFN
-IVF #2- Follistim and Menopur = BFN
***11 retrieved, 8 mature, 6 fertilized, transferred 2 (day 3), 4 made it to freeze (Follistim and Menopur) = BFN
-FET #2- Transferred 2, day 3 embryos = BFN
**Changed doctor**
-IUI #4- natural cycle = BFN
-IUI #5- Follistim (5 eggs) BFP- lead to Miscarriage
-Laproscopic Surgery for Endometriosis, Polyp removal and Cyst removal.
-IVF #3- Menopur, Follistim, Lupron, Ganirellex- BFP lead to Eptopic Pregnancy

Thank you @Colleen0516! My beta is today actually. The RE just called a bit ago, my hcg is over 200. I'm still in disbelief!
So since my AF was so weird this month my baseline blood and sono is tomorrow. Staying hopeful for a Christmas present this year!

So excited that December is here!!! It's my favorite month and it's so hard not to want to wish it away!
Annoying is hardly the word! LOL I guess inserting them is better than swallowing them?! Mine don't have an applicator either and it's just such a pain!
I heard that any little bump on the uterine lining can also cause issues with implantation so while it's frustrating that you will be asleep, it sounds like the best solution for the position of your uterus. I think the valium is used for anxiety and/or muscle spasms. If your SO is going with you, they can always use their phone to record the ultrasound used for placement. I know 2 girls at my clinic and they both record their ultrasounds!
