Infertility

FET Protocol!

Cycle day 1 is here. This one comes with mixed emotions. We tried on our own while waiting, our "Hail Mary pass" as I've been calling it. And as always, I fell for all the PMS symptoms that mimic pregnancy as I always have. I even googled implantation bleeding, somethings never change! On the bright side, we have our FET protocol in hand! Here it is for those who are curious about the FET timeline.

Transfer of 1 day 6 blast, graded BA (we have 4 in the freezer) 

 Start BCPs tomorrow, take for 1 week 

Saline sonogram Tuesday (I had a retained placenta from delivering at just 24 weeks, had to be manually removed...awful experience...so they want to make sure uterus is clear

Baseline 4/1, Estrace begins 4/2 (along with baby aspirin) 

4/8 office to check estrogen and progesterone and increase estrace

4/12 lining check and bloodwork

Tentatively begin progesterone in oil on 4/14 along with alternating crinone. Start doxycycline, Medrol.

 Tentative transfer date of 4/19

Tentative Beta 4/29 

Hopefully it goes smoothly, however, we all know how that can be. I am happy to be joining the April group. I will post over there for check ins. Here we go.....
