@ChristenMA83 Thank you that makes me feel better mine was a 9 on Monday will find out what it has gone up to tomorrow. @roisis They did an ultrasound and didn’t find anything he is chalking it up to Being over sensitive( I had a DNC for chronic endometritis right before my cycle) @ AlohaKumu hoping that is the case thank you
Has anyone else been extra hormonal this time? it has been a year since my last failed transfer but I sure do not remember being this emotional with my last 2 transfers!
@kimberlyshae Good luck tomorrow! I am planning to do the pineapple core. I'll buy one over the weekend and cut it into 5 pieces. I'm thinking I'll start eating it the day before transfer. I'm down for whatever easy superstitions won't hurt!
So excited we have so many ladies who have transferred and so many transferring soon!
AFM I got a +OPK late evening on Tuesday. Went in for bw Wednesday
morning and my LH was surging. They say my ovulation date should be today, and
I go in for bw tomorrow to confirm. Our transfer is currently scheduled for
this coming Tuesday, December 11!
@purplg8r congrats on being PUPO!! Hoping for an easy TWW lady @lindsjacobs good luck today!!! @kimberlyshae TOMORROW!!!!! I do the pineapple core, because why not. Make sure you take it on an empty stomach in the morning, otherwise it just acts as a digestive aid and your body does not absorb the enzyme that helps the implantation as well. @ittybittybug-2 Welcome! So sorry to hear about your loss, but that is great that you have two normal girlies to transfer! I just started my first natural cycle right now, also had a recent loss in September (but that was not PGS tested) - so standing shoulder to shoulder with you girl
Anyone on here taken Provera before? I just used it for the first time to induce AF, and it worked like a charm, but my AF only lasted two days. It's usually more like 4, so now of course I am worried that this was like a withdrawal bleed and doesn't count at the true start of my cycle. They did not even have me come in for a baseline scan this cycle since I am not using any meds yet
@ittybittybug-2 welcome! I am doing a natural stimulation cycle but chose to use PIO over endometrin. Hoping it works for you!!
@leilee101 I’ve been on provera; it is just a withdrawal bleed but it counts, just like a withdrawal bleed on BCPs would. Same thing. Plus If lining was thinner the bleed might be less

@leilee101 Thanks for the tip! Do you eat the whole pineapple or just the core?I know your supposed to cut it into fifths but I wasn't sure if you were supposed to eat the whole thing.
Did you ladies know that you can do PIO shots instead of the vaginal progesterone? You just have to do the shots once a day. I just found that out from my nurse and she said the PIO shots are the better way to go. Just wanted to let y'all know that because I had no idea. I'm switching today because I found out the cost of my Endometrin is going up to $700 and baby girl can't afford that!
@roisis Thanks for the warm welcome. I don't drink much eggnog, but we do usually have Irish coffee on Christmas morning... and mimosas, and hot spiced wine an wassail on
@kimberlyshae Probably just 1 unless my RE recommends otherwise. I don't think I want to risk them both on the same transfer in case my body is the problem.
I’ve done the PIO for all three FETs, @kimberlyshae. Some medical practices have preferences for one or the other, but most are fine as long as your levels are okay. Just be prepared for big needles, bruising, and knots!

@kimberlyshae FYI There's likely to be a generic version of your prescription for much lower cost if you want to stick with the suppositories. Talk to your pharmacy/clinic. I know the "name brand" of what I was prescribed is $700 but the same pharmaceutical company makes a generic (that looks identical) and is about $70 for a 30 day supply (using 2 a day, I know some people are prescribed 3 per day). I have every now and again seen someone prefer the PIO over suppositories but I think most folks would rather do the suppositories than deal with the PIO - it's not as easy to administer as stim meds because it's IM, not sub-cutaneous. It leads to soreness and bruising, like @AlohaKumu said.
@lindsjacobs what a cute embie! Congrats again @kimberlyshae I usually eat the whole pineapple to not waste it, but it’s the core that is the really concentrated enzyme, bromelain. And yes cut it in 5th and eat some every morning. And I’ve only done PIO..but I much prefer it over suppositories. I never found any side effects with PIO.. no bruising or lumps really, usually don’t even feel the needle go in. I’ve seen some people have a hard time with it tho.. personal preference I suppose.

@kimberlyshae at my RE, you have to do the PIO until you are 12 weeks (or until you just handle it anymore and then she’ll switch you to suppositories). But @AlohaKumu is right—be prepared for soreness after. I think I’m in the minority and prefer the suppository. (The injection isn’t bad but I feel like I got hit by something in that area for about 36 hours. And most nights I have to give the injection to myself and it’s hard to do because of location)

I've started getting crazy stabby twinges this morning. I hope that's a good sign! I know it could just be the progesterone messing with me, especially since it's making me bloat up like a beach ball.

Good news today lining was 9.75 and doc said it looked great. Scheduled for our transfer 12/14! We even convinced our RE to put back 2. Fingers crossed we all get our Christmas miracles!!
Hi Ladies! I'm having my first FET this month. I'm not sure what this process is like. All I know is I can't be on birth control and I have to call my office on CD1. Generally, how long is this process from CD1 to transfer day? I know it varies. There are less shots and office visits then during sims right?
@lwalsh87 Hi and welcome! Do you know what kind of protocol you’ll be on? If medicated I think transfer will usually be around CD20. Medicated cycles usually start with estrogen meds (usually not injectible but sometimes they are) and then move to progesterone meds when lining looks good. Progesterone is usually PIO which is an IM injection. If you’re doing a medicated cycle you’ll probably know your transfer date way in advance. Medicated cycles seem the most common.
In natural cycle transfers the patient ovulates and then a set number of days later the transfer is done. I’m doing natural cycle and my transfer date is like CD26 I think - I ovulated later than usual. I’m doing no injections with my protocol. Sometimes natural cycle transfers do involve injections though. Because natural cycle depends on ovulation date you usually don’t know as far in advance when the transfer will be as a medicated cycle.
Hi everyone!
I'm coming here after failed transfer in November. Currently I'm on BCP and start Lupron shots on 18DEC. My transfer is tentatively on 22Jan. There is no JAN group, so I decided to join yours . I see that a lot of girls already transferred this month and hopefully all of you get good news.
@lwash87 it depends on the medication protocol! Do you know what you’ll be taking?
AFM lining went from a 5.6 Tuesday to a 6.56-7.1 at its thickest point today. It’s triple layered and perfect! I’m all set for transfer tomorrow! I’m so thankful especially after how things looked last cycle when it got cancelled. Yay!
@zamora_spin I'm still doing well over here. Everything is quiet today--no twinges--but I've been pretty patient about wanting to test so far. I had to talk myself out of eating ice cream last night. I know the "no cold stuff" isn't mandatory, but I'm trying to wait until the beta to dig in. Are you starting to get excited?

Hey girls! I'm dealing with a lot of hormonal disbalans, and it's effects me a lot. I'm sure you all go through it, but how do you cope with it? I feel that my DH doesn't understand how all this meds effects the body and the mind and it cause a lot off problems. I'm trying to explain to him that all this medication drives me nuts, but i don't think he gets it May be i"m a bitch by nature, but I don't think so...I'm trying to hide my depression from a failed transfer and be strong, but I don't think it works....I don't want it to break me down....I'm sorry i'm being a p***y here and cry.. I see a lot of strong women and see you coping with it. May be you some secrets on how you do it.

@AlohaKumu yas girl hoping for all the twinges and good news!!! Def not from the PIO though!
@AlohaKumu yay for twinges... that sounds like a good thing to me!
And thanks everyone for the PIO info. I've decided to go with the shots because that's what my RE prefers and it's much cheaper.

In natural cycle transfers the patient ovulates and then a set number of days later the transfer is done. I’m doing natural cycle and my transfer date is like CD26 I think - I ovulated later than usual. I’m doing no injections with my protocol. Sometimes natural cycle transfers do involve injections though. Because natural cycle depends on ovulation date you usually don’t know as far in advance when the transfer will be as a medicated cycle.
Are you expecting CD1 soon?
@kimberlyshae congrats on being PUPO!!
@ruger0228 Friday will be here before you know it!
@lwalsh87 welcome! It definitely depends on what kind of protocol you’re on.
@lwash87 it depends on the medication protocol! Do you know what you’ll be taking?
AFM lining went from a 5.6 Tuesday to a 6.56-7.1 at its thickest point today. It’s triple layered and perfect! I’m all set for transfer tomorrow! I’m so thankful especially after how things looked last cycle when it got cancelled. Yay!

How are you PASP/PUPO holding up?

Our journey has come to an end.
I'm dealing with a lot of hormonal disbalans, and it's effects me a lot. I'm sure you all go through it, but how do you cope with it? I feel that my DH doesn't understand how all this meds effects the body and the mind and it cause a lot off problems. I'm trying to explain to him that all this medication drives me nuts, but i don't think he gets it
