    @ConstanceGoodspeed My transfer is also tomorrow. I have my lucky socks. I am worried about my selected embryo not thawing too. I just have to pray and remember that the doctors and embryologists know what they are doing. I'll be thinking about you!

  • @babylonghorn16 Yay! I'm glad to hear that your lining it uber thick, even with missing a few pills! I'm super jealous that you get to start PIO tomorrow (not something most people would ever think/say!). I think that my doc puts me on a predetermined schedule, and sticks to it no matter what. Annoying!

    AFM - I leave in about 30 minutes to head to my lining check at 8:15. Hopefully my nurse will then be able to tell me when to expect transfer (she said to wait until she sees the ultrasound before leaving, which never happens). My tummy has been feeling quite ick for the last few days, so I'm very curious to see how thick my lining has actually gotten!

  • @babylonghorn16 Yup! She said it will be on Thursday if my doc is in that day, or Friday if he isn't! I'll be getting an email later today with my schedule of meds, and should start PIO in 2 or 3 days. I actually just picked it up from the pharmacy this morning because it only lasts for 30 days from when they compound it, which meant I couldn't pick it up when I got my other meds.

    @cmm012 Yay for sticky embie! Hopefully that is a sign that he's gonna stick in your uterus!

    Watching my ultrasound this morning was crazy! It actually measured over a centimeter at certain parts of my uterus! I've never, ever seen a measurement that large before! I'm hoping it means it's gonna be extra cushy for our three snowflakes!

  • So I guess I posted too early...

    Just got call from clinic and they said my estrogen was too low. So now I have to take an extra 2mg of estrogen vaginally everyday. Lovely. They also moved me back a day and I have to go into the office on Sunday morn - so I'll be starting PIO (hopefully) on Sunday and transfer on Friday 7/29.

    Bummed.

    Thursday 7/28 is my brother's birthday so I was excited for that day (stupid, I know) and in-laws are coming in town for Garth Brook's concert on Saturday... so now I have to make up an excuse as to why I have to leave Sunday morning. Also have to find a way to sneak in a Lupron shot during a freakin concert.

    Everything was perfect, and then I had to be irresponsible and miss increasing my dosage. ARG! So mad at myself. I guess it could be worse... just caused myself unnecessary stress. Thankful it 's not cancelled (at least not yet). Time for some ice cream.

  • @Sunflower5678 wow, congratulations that you have 5 frosties! 

    @lilmissslp I agree, it's nice to make the day more fun, it makes the day you get pregnant seem more special and not so clinical. 

    @heidis1 congratulations on hearing the heart beat and being released to OB, makes everything feel official after that point ;)

  • @cat4151 thank you:-)  now I just have to find an obgyn....we just sold our house and haven't decided where we r going to be buying the next house. Eek!  We r temporarily staying n hour and a half away... I think we may have taken on too much at one time.
  • Hi ladies, I'm 4 days post retrieval and am on PIO shots and this morning I had light pink/watery spotting. Has anyone else had this? I think it may be from the PIO and I sent an email to my nurse but wanted to see if any of you ladies had something similar. I'm supposed to have my fresh transfer tomorrow and am nervous this may push us to a frozen transfer.

    I will never have a biological child. 

    Wrapping my mind around that news, then will move on to plan B.  My sister is finishing up her required psych eval, and my husband and I will need to do the same before our clinic will OK the donating of eggs. Then signing some legal contracts and trying for an ER, building another genetic probe, etc.  Nothing happening any time soon.

  • @PNW12RN Yikes! I'm so sorry you're having a crap day! Hopefully the process to get your sis approved goes quicker than you think!

    @lin681 I'm so sorry about your BFN. Hopefully you have some snowflakes left and can try again soon!

    AFM - I do my 5000 HCG shot today, and start PIO tonight. Of course we'd start tonight, as we have a party out of town that is going to take hours to drive to and from, which means another shot in a strangers bathroom. Oh well, we're kinda used to it now!

  • Thanks @lilmissslp! I'm so nervous! I haven't taken a HPT so have no idea what to expect, all the symptoms I was having last week (cramping, nausea) has subsided and even the bloatedness has decreased. I'm expecting the worst but hoping for the best! DH is picking me up from work so if I get the call before 3.30 I have to let it go to voicemail as he requested to listen together.....ahhh!!!! I might just turn my phone off so I'm not going crazy! Fx for you on Tuesday! Are you going to test early?
