Re-intro and rant :)

in Success after IF

It's been a while since I've been on, thanks to my little ones and being on active duty.  Now that I am a civilian again, I have a little more time to lurk :)  I had IVF + ICSI in 2009 with my first daughter and then two amazing natural pregnancies (2011, 2012).

DH and I want to do a FET ASAP. We have 3 embryos and had them flown to our new home from their original storage facility in Texas. Our girls are 19 and 17 months apart, so we'd like to keep the same interval with this FET, which means trying it any day now.  I haven't gotten my period despite weaning DD#3 and got it after my first two pregnancies at 6 months (DD3's now almost 9 months.)  I'm getting a little frustrated and it doesn't help that about 7 of my friends have recently gotten pregnant, and 3 of them have announced it within the past week.  

I'm coordinating my OB from the Air Force base with the local REI for the FET and I happen to be good friends with this OB.  She's actually applying for an REI fellowship this fall.  When I told her last week about my frustration about not having my cycle, she totally didn't get it.  She keeps saying that there's plenty of time.  I KNOW I'm 32 and DH is 41 and there's time, but I hate not having control.  It takes me back to IVF+ICSI days and feeling like there's nothing I can do.  I want this darn cycle to start.  After that, I'll know that at least there is a plan, there will be appointments scheduled and a protocol.  Did I mention I'm type A?  I was kind of joking with her that I'm good practice for the crazy IF ladies, but I am seriously a little disappointed that she wasn't more supportive.  I guess even though I have three awesome, amazing girls, I want to at least try these embryos and IF still haunts me, even after such wonderful success.  

Since my leftover Easter candy binge followed by compensating at the gym isn't helping, any suggestions on how to stay sane?  BTW, SIL just went through IUI last week.  I hate feeling like everyone is getting pregnant but me and there's nothing I can do about it.

    Welcome!

    I just don't think alot of OB's "get it."  They have not had the training that an RE has and I just don't deal with IF regularly. 

    The first time I showed up at my OB's office two years ago with CD 3 resul

    IF DX: DOR & Fragile X pre-mutation carrier
    2011: FSH 13.3 & E 99; AMH 0.54 2nd FSH 6.2 E 40's AFC: 8
    BFP from Clomid/IUI ~ Pre-e and IUGR during pregnancy ~ DS born 9/4/12
    Feb./March 2013: AMH less than 0.16 (undectable) and AFC = 4;
    BFP from supps ~ DS#2 due May 2014
