I will be planning for a trip at the end of March.  How do you ladies plan trips?  My DH will not be going with me.  I am going solo to FL to visit with my family.  I don't want to completely waste a cycle.  Also I never know when my period will start because I have to induce it with progesterone.  I track everything, but all of my calendars are pretty different and I am afraid that it is making this whole trip planning really difficult!

    Obviously, I don't want to be in FL when I am supposed to trigger next.  Assuming that I will have a BFN next Wednesday.  That sounds bad, doesn't it?

    We tried to plan a trip together, and actually also to Florida in March. But we had to scrap it given the new calendar for IVF #2 :(. So I have no good advice!
    Pregnancy Ticker

    TTC #1 since June 2012
    Me (28) - DOR (AFC <10, undetectable AMH, >10 FSH), homozygous E429A MTHFR
    DH (29) - MFI low count and morphology

    September 2013 IUI#1 - Clomid + Trigger + IUI = BFN
    October 2013 IUI#2 - Letrozole + Menopur + Trigger + IUI = BFN

    Nov 2013 IVF/ICSI #1 - Protocol: BCP prep, high doses Menopur and Bravelle (12 days), ganirelex
    Results: 5 retrieved / mature, 4 fertilized, 1 arrested and 3 complex abnormal after day 3 PGS = Cancelled after ER
    Jan/Feb 2014 IVF/ICSI #2 - Protocol: Estrogen priming, high doses Menopur and Bravelle (11 days), microdose lupron
    Results: Cancelled after 11 days of stims due to low response and E2 levels
    Feb 2014 IVF/ICSI #3 - Protocol: No prep, low dose Menopur (6 days), ganirelex, Bravelle booster with trigger
    Results: 1 retrieved / 0 mature = Cancelled after ER

    Officially moving on to embryo adoption! We used and love Embryo Adoption Services of Cedar Park

    May 2015 FET #4 - BCP/Lupron/Estrace/Prometrium, lost 2 to thaw, transferred 2 of 6 from match #2, BFN
    October 2015 FET #5 - Natural cycle, lost 1 from match #3 and 1 from clinic backup to thaw, transferred 1 backup, BFN
    February 2016 FET #6 - Natural cycle, transferred 1 from match #4, B FREAKING P!

    Sounds like I'm in good company.  @pmknbride I thought about that, but I wasn't sure about it.  I think i will do that, and also take @NariaDreaming advice.  Hopefully the doc will unserstand and give me a longer dose just in case.  Thanks ladies!
