@BridgetLy I transfer next Wednesday, the 16th. I hope my lining doesn't get too thick??? To much to think and worry about!!! I am also moving this Wednesday so I'm hoping that will keep my mind off of things!! How many did you transfer? I only have on PGS to transfer so I'm praying it sticks!! Not looking forward to bed rest!!!
@alexiskiriluk They sometimes let them go to day 6 if they are a little slow to grow, so I think you are just fine.

Estradiol level at baseline was 22, now it's 120 after 12 days of Lupron (10u to 5u) & 3 days of Follistim (300u). Idk how to interpret that exactly, but the nurse says the level suggests that the meds are doing their job lol. I will decrease Follistim to 150u & add 2 vials Menopur tonight & tomorrow, repeat u/s & labs on Wednesday.

Today I finally feel better! Now just keeping my fingers crossed that the lab calls to give us the 5 day update on our embabies today. I'm trying so hard to be patient. To distract myself today I have: ironed, cleaned the whole 1st floor including kitchen, went through my hand bags (going to purge some), dry cleaner, voted, played out side with the dogs... And it's 230 and I'm staring at my phone.

We have 13 frozen embabies!! The nurse that I talked to today was not clear as to whether or not they had been pgd tested yet. I go in on Monday to get "the Lupron administered". I was very clear and understood everything leading Up to the retrieval - I feel clueless in regards to what is involved with the transfer. Help!

@vssbrm Yay, 13!!!!!!!!!!!! That is awesome!!! They should have taken cells for PGD before they froze. I'm assuming you're doing a frozen transfer? If so you'll most likely be put on bcps, then start estrogen, then progesterone once you're ready for it, then do the transfer. It is like a very uncomfortable, long pap, and you have to pee the ENTIRE time. Then you wait 10-14 days and go in for a beta. Easy peasy!

Congrats @vssbrm 13, that's amazing!! I did a fresh transfer so I'm not sure what the FET is like but the transfer itself wasn't too bad. They actually had DH come in with me which was really great. He really enjoyed being a part of it and our nurse in the room was amazing and talked is through the whole process and pointed out on the US screen when our little embie was going in. Im less than a week away from my beta and really need to stop goggle searching the different symptoms I'm having (cramps, bloating etc). Just trying to stay distracted til Wed. Good luck!

Update on me (for those not on March FET Buddies): Still a go for 3/15 FET. Found out I have Adenomyosis, so if I'm not successful, I'll be on 3 months of Lupron to help control the situation before doing another fresh cycle (I only have one frozen embryo). Fingers crossed for success this cycle. I start PIO shots tonight - boooo!
@stranzm Best of luck for your FET! FX and prayers!

Question for those who have had their ET done. My DH does not drive, and our fertility clinic is approximately an hour and half away (without traffic). I have my ET planned for tomorrow at 11:45, need to be there an hour earlier. My mom was originally going to come up with us, she wanted to be there and I was glad since she offered to drive. I was relieved, but now plans have changed and she is unable to go due to her boss denying her, her vacation request. Just wondering how I might feel after the ET, should I have someone else drive us back after the ET. The only other person available is my DH's mother and she is not overly supportive, and stresses me out. For example when I did call her to ask she said "well I guess I can, but can you call me tomorrow to make sure I'm feeling up to it"... really this is kind of important, and I need to know. Am I overreacting? or being extra cautious? So I'm thinking not a good idea, but I just wanna make sure I'll be able to drive alright myself before I call to cancel with her. Or should I suck it up, and put up with her for the 3-4 hours or so. Even though I know it will be a disaster. Opinions or experiences please.

@MrsM00re87 Did your clinic give you a valium (diazepam) to take? If so you may NOT drive!!!!! Valium is a sedative and I always have to have someone to drive me after I take one. I could not imagine having to drive with how it affects me.I don't think I could drive.

@MrsM00re87 I feel like if it was mandatory to have someone with you to drive you home, they would've specified. They made it clear to me when calling with my ER instructions that I couldn't drive.

@MrsM00re87 I have a handout for it. All it says is that the transfer will take 15 minutes, expect to stay there for an additional 30. Doesn't say someone has to drive me home. If they can do a mock transfer without any drugs, I doubt they'll give you anything for the real deal.

I wouldn't stress @mrsmoore87. My ET was quick and painless. The procedure itself takes 15 mins, they didn't really give me any restrictions and no meds at all. Honestly if it'll be less stressful for you to drive yourself, I'd do that.
@MrsM00re87 I agree with everyone. Your dr would have told you if you couldn't. I am assuming your cervical trail went okay? I was a potential for anesthesia bc my ct did not go well. I ended up not needing it but both et I have had I definitely could have driven! They want you to go back to your normal activities anyway not sit on the couch with your legs up! So I'd call to check but you should be fine!

I'm bored. Almost done with my 24 hours of bed rest after transfer. I've found myself adding all sorts of unnecessary things to my cart on Amazon. I think I mentioned on this thread we are hosting a party in 1.5 weeks...so I've added things like a new table runner that goes with the theme color, etc. I'm also anxious to get outside and check for damage as we had a nasty storm last night due to the unusually nice weather. I figure my neighbors haven't posted anything so I should be good. Okay, I'm rambling...
@MrsM00re87 Great! Glad it went well! How are you feeling? @stranzm I fortunately have not had to do any bed rest with this process yet, but I imagine it's quite boring after a while. But hey, shopping!!

AFM we got our beta results back today... 55. A little worried about the low # (I had it in my head it needed to be >100). The clinic wants me to come back Friday to make sure it's going up but DH and I had planned two nights away so won't be back til Saturday for the next lab draw. I figured it's not great news but we're not out of the game yet so I wanna enjoy my days away and not rush back. Here's hoping!

Good luck!

My DH does not drive, and our fertility clinic is approximately an hour and half away (without traffic). I have my ET planned for tomorrow at 11:45, need to be there an hour earlier. My mom was originally going to come up with us, she wanted to be there and I was glad since she offered to drive. I was relieved, but now plans have changed and she is unable to go due to her boss denying her, her vacation request. Just wondering how I might feel after the ET, should I have someone else drive us back after the ET. The only other person available is my DH's mother and she is not overly supportive, and stresses me out. For example when I did call her to ask she said "well I guess I can, but can you call me tomorrow to make sure I'm feeling up to it"... really this is kind of important, and I need to know. Am I overreacting? or being extra cautious? So I'm thinking not a good idea, but I just wanna make sure I'll be able to drive alright myself before I call to cancel with her. Or should I suck it up, and put up with her for the 3-4 hours or so. Even though I know it will be a disaster. Opinions or experiences please.

@MrsM00re87 I agree with everyone. Your dr would have told you if you couldn't. I am assuming your cervical trail went okay? I was a potential for anesthesia bc my ct did not go well. I ended up not needing it but both et I have had I definitely could have driven! They want you to go back to your normal activities anyway not sit on the couch with your legs up! So I'd call to check but you should be fine!

@stranzm I fortunately have not had to do any bed rest with this process yet, but I imagine it's quite boring after a while. But hey, shopping!!

AFM we got our beta results back today... 55. A little worried about the low # (I had it in my head it needed to be >100). The clinic wants me to come back Friday to make sure it's going up but DH and I had planned two nights away so won't be back til Saturday for the next lab draw. I figured it's not great news but we're not out of the game yet so I wanna enjoy my days away and not rush back. Here's hoping!
