  Hope they figure everything out for you!  What are you on for estrogen?  For my 2nd & 3rd FET, I started on pills 3x per day, and after my first monitoring appointment, they had to add the patches - 2 every 3 days.

  My TTC Journey:
  Dx: Hypothalamic amenorrhea / mild PCOS (Pretty much a hormone/ovulatory disorder)
  Progesterone to induce period w/ the goal of Clomid - never got period (September 2011). Referred to RE.
  Femera - never responded to the meds (December 2011)
  Clomid with TI - BFN (February 2012)
  Injectables (Menopur) - hyperstimulated/canceled (March 2012)
  Injectables #2 (Menopur) with TI- BFN (May 2012)
  IVF - OHSS (transfer canceled), but 11 frozen! (June 1012)
  FET - 1 transferred on 8/09/12. Beta#1 (11dp5dt): 350.3; Beta#2: 365; Beta#3: 157. Biochemical pregnancy.
  FET # 2 - 1 transferred on 11/01/12. Beta#1 (11dp5dt): 337; Beta#2: 769. BFP!!! 1st ultrasound 11/28/12 showed heartbeat, but measuring 5 days behind. 2nd ultrasound 12/05/12 - miscarriage.
  FET # 3 - 1 transferred on 1/24/13. Beta#1 (11dp5dt): BFN.
  FET # 4 - 2 transferred on 3/21/13.  Bet #1 (11dp5dt): 660; Beta#2: 1,300.  Miscarried at home @ 6 weeks.

  FET # 5 - 2 transferred on 7/12/13.  Beta #1 (10dp6dt): BFN.
  Attempted an IUI in late August 2013, but didn't respond well.
  IVF #2 with PGS - Stims started 10/28 with retrieval on 11/11.  Of 14 mature eggs, 10 fertilized, 4 made it to Day 5 & 1 made it to Day 6. We did PGS on the Day 5 embryos, and 3 of 4 were normal. Had ET on 11/17. Beta #1 (8dp6dt): 203. Beta #2 (10dp6dt): 618. We since had two ultrasounds & on 12/19, our RE released us to the OB.  On 1/02/14, we had our first ultrasound with the OB where we heard the heartbeat.  We are so thankful for the blessing & crossing every finger & toe for a healthy & successful pregnancy.

  Thanks everybody!  I have had lining issues in the past.  For my fresh cycle when my estrogen went sky high, my lining only went up to 7mm.  I just talked to the nurse who wants me to continue on IM estrogen (0.4 cc).  My e2 level was 878.  RE wants to give it another week.  He thinks that maybe my lining won't get thick.  He may still do a transfer a week from Monday (2/11) even if the lining doesn't get to 8.  FX I don't get cancelled.  The only good news she could tell me was that it is triple layer.   I asked if there was anything we could add to help the lining and she said no and brought up that even when I was in OHSS my lining only made it to 7.

  Sorry you're going through all this stuff now...glad your dad is doing better.  I hope your lining catches up...don't know what they have you on for estrogen, but I've read some stuff that vaginal estrogen *creams* might work better than the patches or anything oral.  Someone here (sorry I forgot who) is using vaginal viagra and it seems to be working...any chance they can throw that on board?  Good luck!

  Married 2007
  3 Clomid IUIs -- BFNs
  IVF #1 never made it to transfer
  On "egg health" cocktail DHEA/CoQ10/FRC/Pregnitude/Melatonin
  Starting IVF #2 for Feb 2013
  Follistim/Menopur/Ganirelix
  Cancelled mid-cycle due to high P4 levels early on.
  OCPs again for IVF 2.5 mid-March. IVF 2.5 transferred two "gorgeous" 5-day blasts and BFFN. Even REI is baffled
  On indefinite hold until a huge stroke of serendipity led me to IVF 3 May 2014
  Testing found positive cardiolipins/APS, now on lovenox and intralipid infusions
  Transfer of 2 5-day blasts and (FINALLY) BFFP!! 1st ultrasound shows two sacs and two HB, but one is sluggish, almost expecting vanishing twin Subsequent ultrasound confirmed vanishing twin, but my other Little critter looks fantastic!

  I'm sorry your lining isn't thickening up like it's supposed to. FX you hear from your nurse soon and it just means you're delayed and not cancelled. 

  And I'm glad to hear your dad is doing better after his bypass. That must have been very scary for you and your family.

  I want you to get some good news here too! *HUG*
