FET Question

  The answer to this probably depends on what protocol you are on.  I started BCP June 25, Lupron July 23.  Had my withdrawn bleed on July 30.  My FET was August 21.
  

  
  

  
  

  TTC #1 since February 2011
  Me: 29 (3/5/13- high NK cells)  DH: 28 (5/8/12- MFI low morph and motility)
  Cycle #21 (IUI#1), Cycle #22 (HSG 9/21/12) and Cycle #23 (IUI#2)= 
  Cycle #24- December Snow Bunny IVF #1
  ER 12/6/12 (14R, 11M, 9F), ET 12/9/12 transferred 2 day 3 embies
  Bleeding and low betas=very cautious  C/P 5W3D
  Cycle #26 March Lucky Duck- FET #1
  scheduled 3/20/13- CANCELLED- lining issues
  Cycle #27 May Emerald- FET #1.2
  delayed- Starting Trental for 3 months + natural cycles Cycle #28-30= 
  Cycle #31 August Shooting Star- FET #1.3 
  transferred 1 hatching blast 8/21/13= Betas 8/30 (108) and 9/3 (565)

  U/S 9/19/13- HR is 128!  U/S #2 10/4/13- HR is 174!
  It's a BOY!

  Also, I got my ET date when I got my protocol.  It's far easier to plan than a fresh cycle and if anything could get pushed back if your lining isn't ready, but won't be before that date.

  hmm.. I know nothing. My nurse said she expects it the 2nd week in Sept, which according to her is CD 18-22. Guess that's about right?? She told me my period would come a week early so I just feel so out of whack with dates. I should know something by the end of the weekend I hope.

  Ok. I read my study again. Now I know something: FET cycle medications will need to be purchased: GnRH agonist (Lupron), Estrace, doxycyline, Medrol and progesterone in oil.

  Hmm.. My period is maybe coming tomorrow or Saturday. I may shoot the nurse an e-mail to find out if she ordered meds for me yet. She did say I could delay it if it's easier until the end of Sept/ beginning of Oct. but I don't know. My principal won't even confirm what grade or subject I'm teaching yet, so I don't know which is easier. Having 2 things up in the air is a little too much for me right now.

  Thanks for all your replies

  I am in the middle of my FET cycle. With IVF, I don't even pay attention to cycle days.

  I started bcps around 7/13, Lupron started 7/22, bloodwork 7/31, stop BCP's 8/1, AF showed 8/4, started estrogen, doxycycline, 8/15 lining check, 8/17 started lovenox, medrol and progesterone. Txfer 8/22 (today!) at cd19 technically for me...it may depend when you get your period after stopping bcps....
  
  Best of luck to you!

  My clinic counts the day I started Estrace (8/3) as CD1 (although it was really CD3 based on when I got AF). With that, my FET on 8/21 was on the equivalent of CD 19. I was on BCP beginning 7/6, Lupron began 7/24, stopped BCP 7/27.

  Thanks again ladies! My nurse just told me my rough plan
  
  > Plan is to start estrace on day 3. You will take 1mg of estrace by mouth twice a day. Estrace start is pending blood work and ultrasound results so wait for call with results/instructions before starting.
  >
  > Once estrace is started, we will ask you to come in every 4 days for blood work and ultrasound to check the lining. Usually takes about 3 visits before ready to set up for transfer. Once lining is thick enough, will set a transfer date. Transfer will be about 1 week from the time the lining is ready. Progesterone in oil, Medrol, and Zpak will start 5 days prior to transfer. Just need 1 applicatorful of metrogel for night before transfer.

  I guess I'm considered cd22.....I went off the bcp on July 27th and when I didn't have AF they brought me in on August 2nd and called that cd1 (I think).  FET is today but it was pushed back last week from Tuesday to today because of lining issues.
