February FET anyone?

Re: February FET anyone?

  • Ugh I had my CD12 ultrasound today. My largest follicle is already 16mm, but my lining is still under 7mm. I'm waiting to hear back about my blood work, but it looks like my cycle might be cancelled if my lining doesn't get to 8mm before ovulation. I asked if we could add any medication, but my estrogen is high enough on its own, so my doctor said it wouldn't help.

  • @SingleGeneMe praying for you!! 
  • @SingleGeneMe - ugh that stinks! When are you going to go back for another ultrasound? If you haven't already, do you think doing more natural things to build your lining (like pom juice and raspberries and beets) might help at all? FX for a thicker lining next US!! 
  • @caseyw8784 I have been drinking 8oz of pomegranate juice every day since the first day of my cycle. I've also been drinking red raspberry leaf tea twice a day and taking vitamin E and vitamin B complex in addition to my multivitamin. It doesn't seem that any of it helped!

  • I went in for another follicle/lining check and my lining was up to 7.5mm and I still haven't ovulated! I was told to do a trigger shot today and come back for another check in the morning. So, I won't know until then whether or not my transfer is happening.

  • Great news!!! I went in for my appointment this morning and I still hadn't ovulated (I will very soon) and my lining was up to 8.4mm!! My transfer is officially scheduled for 2/10. Thank you all for your support -- it's so stressful to be worried before the transfer has even happened!

  • @SingleGeneMe that is great news!!! I think this makes 3 or 4 of us that all have transfers on 2/10. I had a lining check on Thursday and everything looked good. I am staring to get really excited!!!! This is our first transfer and I am so optimistic! Cannot wait for the joy/comfort of knowing there is actually a viable embryo in my body for the first time ever!!! Hopefully it feels sticky!!!

    i just did a bunch of meal prep so I can hang out on the couch all next weekend. 

    Anyone doing accupuncture day day of transfer? 
  • @SingleGeneMe that is awesome news!!  So happy for you! 

    Afm, my baseline bwi and ultrasound was this morning.  They said I have a very very small cyst but all is a go and I start delestrogen tonight!

  • Good luck, @kjplaza and @Joslynj11! Keeping fingers crossed and sending all kinds of good thoughts for today!

    I'm still tentatively scheduled for 2/15. I have one more lining check on the 9th... but if all goes well, it's looking like the 15th is my day.

  • I'll be wearing this shirt today as my good luck charm. i of course woke up today with a head cold sinus issues and dry cough but I'm hoping it passes quickly.

  • Well I got a call from the Dr that the embryo they thawed didn't look good so they cancelled the transfer and moved it to tomorrow to try another embryo. Totally sucks, just one more thing to add to my list of things that have gone wrong.

  • @kjplaza Oh no! That totally sucks. Better to put a good, strong one in, though. Sorry about your cold. I also have come down with a cold. Whenever I get a cold, I get bronchitis afterwards and end up coughing for weeks. I am guessing that will happen at the end of this week, after they do the transfer and I can't take any cough medicine   :#

  • @kjplaza OH NO! I am so sorry that your transfer has been delayed :( I am praying hard that tomorrow's embaby thaws perfectly and that you have a strong sticky embaby! Your in my heart, I know how stressful the thaw can be! Please keep us updated.

    Afm: transfer went smoothly this morning. It was such a breath of relief to hear they made it the pin the thaw. DH and I brought cookies we made to our nurse too and I swear our special nurse almost cried. I've been laid up since I've been home trying to "couch rest" as well as I can. Off again tomorrow so hopefully the extra time from work helps. Thanks for all the support ladies!! It really means the world to me. I will try to post more and cheer for you all too when I get back to a computer and am not having to post from my phone! Baby dust everyone :)

  • Hey guys, I've been quiet for a while because I was waiting out a 42 day cycle!! Finally started my period and then saw my doctor today for the baseline. Was told to start estrogen patches today and I'll be having my transfer on Feb 24! Feels so good to finally have a date set, phew! Good luck to everyone who has already transferred!

  • That's great @FamousAmous! Thinking about you @kjplaza
  • Thank you everyone! The transfer went smoothly and I've pretty much been on the couch ever since. The RE wants me laying down 45 mins/hour for 3 days and then resume normal activity on Saturday. I'm already pretty stir crazy but hopefully I can find enough to entertain me from the couch.

     yes for some reason they do day 5 and day 10 after transfering a 5 day blast. its nice getting to know pretty quickly however my last transfer if i hadnt tested at day 5 and waited till day 10 i probably wouldnt have had as much of an emotional rollercoaster with my levels dropping pretty quickly. each clinic/ RE is so different it makes this journey so much harder trying to figure out whats best.
