Infertility

FET tomorrow! Nervous but excited.

Tomorrow is our FET. I'm nervous but super duper excited! My doctor called me today to talk me through some of my anxiety about my thyroid being out of wack. I love the fact that he called my cell phone and made himself available so I could ask him the million questions I had. I feel so much better. I'm just hoping that our little frosties thaw out well and that everything goes according to plan. I can't believe it's here already, it came so fast! The progesterone has been making me feel flat out EXHAUSTED. I've been so tired. Anyone else? Good luck to all of my fellow snow bunnies <3 Keep me in your thoughts and prayers!

Re: FET tomorrow! Nervous but excited.

  • Good luck tomorrow!  I have thyroid issues too.  When mine gets out of whack, I feel awful.  On top of the meds and stress of IVF, I can imagine you are very exhausted!!

    Omg I'm glad you can relate! It's the worst..especially when my thryoid is acting crazy. I literally fall asleep all the time. When my husband is driving me somewhere, I'm out cold. When I try to read, I'm out like a lamp. Even now, I'm getting ready for a Christmas party but all I want to do is curl into a ball and sleep. Can't wait for tomorrow though! Thanks for your well wishes!

  • I'm super jellie, good luck tomorrow! That's awesome your dr calls you personally instead of always the nurse. Mine has done that for me a time or two and it sure does help you feel like a person instead of a paycheck. Progesterone on too of making me tired makes me dizzy. My last IVF I was taking it 3x day. So basically once it started wearing off I had to take another. Two solid weeks of a spinning world and wanting to puke. It was so awesome lol. Best of luck to you tomorrow!

  • Thanks everyone so much! I'm pumped but I just want to make sure that both of my embies are okay, you know? I won't breathe easy until it's over ! lol. My doctor even told me just to relax and not worry. Yeah, Progesterone has been making me ridiculously exhausted but thankfully I have not experienced any dizziness yet [knock on wood!] Trying to keep track of the meds is a little crazy...there's so much. lol. I will keep all of you posted! <3
