Infertility Veterans

I'm back!

And I missed you all! How is everyone?

PV was amazing. We had a great time and the weather was beyond wonderful. I could have stayed for a month.

I have my first b/w and u/s tomorrow for our FET. I'm on 4 vivelle patches now and I'm really dizzy and lightheaded. I thought it was just the boat tour we took on Saturday but it hasn't gone away so I'm guessing its the vivelle. I have a call into my nurse so we'll see.

    I love PV - we stopped there on a cruise a couple of years ago and loved it.  What did you do?

    I'm feeling ok.  BLOATED!  the shots are fine.

    I have b/w tomorrow and they will most likely up my dosage :)

    sorry about the dizzyness cutie

    Honestly we just lounged on the beach and by the pool a lot. We stayed at the Grand Mayan and it had a lazy river which was very fun. We went with friends and spent a lot of evening going out to dinner and then sitting on our amazing balcony listening to the ocean, drinking margs and playing cards. 

    We did one evening booze cruise to an island with a candle/torchlit dinner and then a show. We also did one day trip to a different beach where we ate lunch, hung out and did some kayaking.
