Just curious where you're at in your cycle?  I saw in your siggy that you mentioned a Sept/Oct cycle @ C.CRM but that you were on DHEA...are you still on that or are you stimming now, or..?

hi there! how are you feeling? I'm not cycling quite yet, but I will start estrogen priming on Oct. 12. once AF shows, and if baseline is good, I start stims on Oct. 20 and travel to Colorado on Oct. 25. I have been taking DHEA for quite a few months now so hoping it helps me. unlike you though we are not doing a fresh transfer this go around for a couple of reasons. I tested negative for the beta integrin 3 protein so I will probably have to be on depot lupron for a couple of months prior to FET. plus we will be doing CCS PBT testing on any embryos we get which also requires a later FET. so while I am excited about all the changes we are making for this cycle, and excited to be almost cycling again still feels like everythlng is so far away if you know what I mean. did you guys use co-culture for your embryos? or HGH while stimming? they have recommended this stuff for us this round and wondered if you did this also. which RE are you seeing? I will be checking for your fert report anxiously today! I'm so happy you have been having a good experience with this cycle!

I am not feeling too hot today...I have a really bad UTI and I'm pretty miserable right now! Just waiting to hear back from my nurse as to what I should do. I hate this feeling. I don't feel like I can complain too much though because we got our fert report and are super happy with how that turned out! I posted an update. I know what you mean about everything seeming so far away. That is great things will be getting started soon though! We did not do co-culture and I don't know what HGH is so I doubt I did that either? We see Dr. Surr.ey. You?

Sorry about the UTI.. Hope the nurse lets you take something for it so you can start feeling better. cranebrry juice should also help I think

Excited to go to your other post to see your fert report so I will make this quick.. lol

HGH is human growth hormone and I have it as a part of my protocol this go around. I will be taking it when I start stims.

I am seeing Dr. School.craft. But I have heard that it doesn't really matter who you go with there .. seems they are all pretty great from what I have heard.  Did Dr. Sur.rey do your ER?

I actually have been drinking cranberry juice today too! (in addition to the 70+ oz of water I've already downed.) No, my doctor wasn't working this weekend so Dr. G did the ER. He seemed very nice, for the 3 minutes we talked to him before the surgery! :-) The one thing with this protocol I was surprised by was how early they had us fly out here. We were here over a week before I even triggered! Had we known that, we wouldn't have come out so soon! Oh well...at least we are staying with friends which has helped.
