AFM: Had my last (hopefully) dental appointment. Continuing with pelvic floor physical therapy to get this body in shape for potential pg in October. I have moments I think FET will work and moments I think no way. Time will tell.

QOTW: My BFF lives 40 min away and is DINC so drives up to visit my home nearly every week. If she hadn't moved here I wonder if I'd have a BFF.

I'm still here.... After my official bfn last Saturday, I had my wtf via phone on Monday. Plan is to do all my testing plus the clomid challenge test for insurance now and go into an ivf cycle- which will probably be epp-antagonist for variety (and assuming I pass all my tests and get insurance on board).

I went in today, cd2 to get my basking blood, plus infectious disease and the who home 9 yards. I stalked the web portal today as I was most anxious about my FSH. Well first to be reported was high prolactin - 40 and fm higher than usual TSH 2.89. Next up, the estrogen is reported at <5. That is really low...I'm like uh oh what does that mean FSH will be. Finally that one shows up and it is 7.1. Yay! Part 1 of ccct is good.

I now get to retest the prolactin in the other end of my ccct test. I usually ride my bike to well everywhere including RE appointments, but maybe I'll give it a rest for the next one for good measure.

I went to get my clomid at my local pharmacy today for my ccct and thank goodness I went early because I was informed I would have to transfer it to a speciality pharmacy to get insurance to pay. So ridiculous. But anyway, I have time still, so I'll do it.

My most recent and oldest bff lives in Seattle where I used to live. No bff here in my new locale.

@amandaleigh1, good to hear from you. Sorry for the BFN. You're jumping right back in! Will you require med for TSH or not? Less exercise for prolactin, or else med for that? Once my uterine blood flow was off but a cycle later it was fine, so I avoided med that time. Took me 10 yrs to "settle in" here.

@amandaleight1 So sorry about the BFN.  I hope that you and your doctor get a great plan moving forward and that your testing goes well.  

@sharonb222  GL with your upcoming FET!!  I know it is a ways away, but I hope the time passes by quickly!  Edit to add thank you so much for running this check in!

I am on day 9 of stims today.... I finally have some growth after my dosage increase.  I have 15 follicles between 10mm-13.5mm now, and about 10 on each side that are smaller than 10mm.  I go back Sunday and should have a better idea of what is going on then. He said I am not responding as well as he hoped, but then said, "I guess I should say, as fast as we expected....", so hopefully that means I am still doing okay.  

QOTW:  My BFF lives about 3 miles from me.  We are going over to her house for pizza tonight actually

1983Lindsey2  my vote is that slow and steady wins this race for your stim cycle!

AFM: My FET is four weeks away; it is going so fast! Meds arrive tomorrow (FX); injections start ~Sunday.
