Re: ~~eponine~~
Thanks hun. I am starting to come back. I think the transitioning into my old job was rougher then expected. I am now a live-on staff member and I have been put on what has been dubbed the "fertle quad". One of the staff just had a baby last month and this girl who I will be fully taking over for when she leaves in a month or so is pregnant with twins. I just hope some of this luck rubs off on me!
Cycle is okay, but the s/e from this estrace are worse then any injects I did for my IVF cycle. My transfer will be this coming Wednesday. I hadn't really been excited about it, but am starting to be now. I am trying to stay emotionally detached from it though because there is no escaping the fertile myrtles that surround me right now. lol.
How is your cycle coming along? I had wanted to ask, when doing a natural FET, is that stictly no meds at all? Not even crinone and all that? I ask because if this one doesn't work I plan on cycling again with our remaining embryos in May but I don't think I can ever do this much estrace again so would be asking about a natural FET.
Hoping this is it for you...everything crossed!

I'm sorry work is rubbish. It sucks to be surrounded by bellies every day. And sorry the meds are kicking your butt! Fingers crossed for you!
As for me, the only meds I'll be using is progesterone. I'll start they day after my surge is detected (basically on Ovulation day). Other than that, I'm med free. I have a very regular cycle though, well at least I did until this cycle of course, so they know approximately when O will be and that my lining and everything will be good at that time also. I'm not sure if natural FET's are ideal for everyone but as long as you have a fairly "normal" cycle it will work and it is AWESOME! I have nothing to complain about except the waiting around doing nothing part.
Good Luck!

Yep! I have regular cycles with good lining so I actually asked my nurse if I could stop taking the estrace but she wouldn't let me, lol. Hopefully I won't have to worry about it, but next month I will be requesting a natural cycle. Thanks hun!
