Sept 5th I have my baseline u/s, sonohysterogram, and mock transfer. If everything looks good I start estrace the same day. I guess this is all happening. I'm working on getting excited about this transfer.

@O2girl >:D< my kindred sister
Yay for transfer!! I'm super excited lady!! Keeping everything crossed!!
TTC-wise I've been having crazy amounts of CM. :-? which is not common for me so :-?? who knows
QOTD: I had my health screening this morning, and all my results came back off the charts good
For me.. I'm currently on day 4 of stims! Ah! My first follie check is tomorrow. I had acupuncture today and go back again Friday. The rough estimate for ER is Thursday.. but we really won't know for a few days. Who knows - maybe for next week's check-in I'll be all drugged out from my ER.
Something positive - My husband and I have been getting along great. I know that may seem silly (shouldn't we always get along?). We usually don't fight, but do bicker some and I can get kinda moody. I'm very happy to have him to get me through this major anxiety-fest I'm experiencing right now.
@lyndz333 - Hope AF shows up soon for you!
@O2girl - Sounds like you're moving along... Exciting! Hope everything goes smoothly!
@mrsjg2013 - Good luck Tuesday - FX!
@blackbird818 - Yay for football! And hopefully everything goes smoothly with your baby cow. Oh & congrats on the great health screen!

@O2girl: I'm getting excited FOR you!!! Funny thing is, I'm on OCPs right now and the way it's looking, if I get AF when I'm supposed to, I'll be starting Estrace on the 5th or 6th for my FET too...maybe we can be ET buddies!
@mrsjg2013: I'll keep everything crossed for you as well that your procedure goes well on Tuesday! Big ((hugs))
@blackbird818: Yeah football!!! I'm getting super pumped about it too! Got tickets for Michigan State football for DH for our anniversary this year, so I'll be making the six hour drive to the games...so excited for the first game on Friday! Which team do you root for?
@ky29: Good luck at the follie check tomorrow, and I'll send lots of positive thoughts your way for your ER next week. Stock up on lots of gatorade and good movies to rest up afterwards!
As for me, just finishing up my last week of OCPs this week and hoping for AF at the end of next week so I can start my estrace / FET cycle. I'm super nervous about it since my IVF cycle was so crazy with the OHSS, but I know a frozen cycle is supposed to be a lot easier, so I'm trying to stay as calm as I can about it.
Otherwise, just really excited about college football starting on Friday!!!!

That is awesome!! :-bd Most people would probably find our lifestyle incredibly boring/dull/simple, but we love it. It might not be flashy or fancy. But it's rewarding and worthwhile.
I truly believe it's all about the simple things in life.
So, it's on like Donkey Kong!! My ER is tomorrow and I'm trying to stay calm and think positive. Gatorade is in the fridge and DVR movies are waiting...today I had approx 11 follies. Please keep me and my eggs in your thoughts.
QOTD: I'm forever grateful for these forums. Without them, I would feel pretty alone in my IF journey. So, thank you all for being so supportive and awesome!
TTC#1 since June 2012
Dx: Unexplained Infertility / AMA
BFP after 4th IUI cycle with Gonal F + Ovidrel on March 2014 | EDD 12/7/14 | MMC on 4/14/14
IUI#5 with Gonal F and Ovidrel trigger on 6/6 - BFN
On to IVF #1 with a new RE. Started Gonal F and Menopur on 8/15. Added Ganirelix on 8/24. Trigger on 8/26 for ER on 8/28. 8R 7M 3F. Transferred all 3 on 8/31. BFP on 9/11 | EDD 5/20/15 - Beta #1: 56.7. Beta #2: 97. Beta #3: 1148. Beta #4: 3559. Beta #4: 7678. MMC confirmed on 10/13. D&C on 10/14 at 9w. Confirmed male with Trisomy 14.
On to IVF #2 in March. CCS Testing on 2 embies. No go. Waiting to start IVF #3 in July. Surprise BFP on 6/14! EDD - 2/20/16 - Beta #1: 121.4. Beta #2: 236.4. Beta #3: 2014.
@medic7979 try to stay calm (i know that's hard). With longer-ish cycles being your "norm" at ~37 days, I would expect O any time in the next 2-3days. That put your LP length in the 14-15 days. Keep up the OPKs and HIO
@medic7979 - I'm mobile do can't view your chart.. But I know my first cycle back was all over the place. My temp was really hard to figure out. ((Hugs))
@Lesliem0901 - FX for today!! Thinking good thoughts about your little eggies. Hope you recover okay!
@jjbmstinco - ((hugs)) so sorry you had a rough day.. And for the spotting. Hope today is better for you.
