  • Thanks ladies.  I will get a call later today but I think I'm good. Lining was 9.5 and trilaminar.

     Now I just need a donor... There is no one that is listed as "available" in the pool that I am interested in.  I've been pouring through profiles and the only ones I want are already taken. I need someone to fall out of the sky into the pool.... I was hoping today was going to be happy but I just feel deflated since the donor I wanted was taken.

    On another note, once I stop taking the estrace pills, I am supposed to get a withdrawal bleed.  I am leaving tomorrow for a week at the Cape. Just want I want-- blood, the beach and my in-laws...  Would you be tempted to keep taking the estrogen to ward off AF?

  • Glad it went well, and hope you can find a donor that is acceptable to you. I know I'm horribly jaded and bitter about the whole DE process, but I honestly think you're always going to feel like you're settling, no matter the donor you choose, simply because doing DE is essentially "settling."

    I would definitely be tempted to keep taking the estrace, but likely would up the alcohol treatments instead. Enjoy your vacation!

  • Great news...hope someone comes along and sweeps you off your feet!  It typically takes me 3-4 days to start bleeding anyway...so maybe you won't start and you can just drink ALOT of cocktails.

    Great news about your lining....yay!! I'm hoping that the perfect donor is just around the corner.

    Do you think your doing a day trip to Nantucket? Stop at The Cru near the dock for a drink. Beautiful looking out at the boats on the water. Have fun at the Cape!

    ME:46 MH:44 DE IVF 2014
    Met with RE 4/11. 2 IUI's BFN. DE best option. Switched clinics to do "shared" program. Had to retake all tests and a mamm that put me behind and then on a DE waiting list for 12 months. Picked a donor!! (10/13/13) Got matched. Estimated transfer in December. After 2.5 years of patiently waiting I will finally cycle....can hardly believe it. DE cycle got cancelled. One of her tests came back positive.  Waiting for another donor. Donor picked!! (1/18/14)

    DE IVF #1 (4/26) BFN  DE FET #1 (6/4) BFP! Beta 1=339 Beta 2=852 Beta 3=9957 EDD 2/22/15!!
