    @ChocolateIsLife Thank you! Today is actually the day of my ultrasound, but I'm getting a beta done, too. I hope your dentist gives you some relief. Toothaches are no fun. 

    @Joslynj11 I hope you have a great transfer and relaxing day!

  • Thanks @Worldtravler0522! It's tender but doesn't hurt anymore! Still going to the dentist this week to get it cleared up. I have a strong feeling that Friday will be great news for you. Your emby is one tough cookie!

    The embabies kind of do look like cookies too, don't they? I could be delusional from lack of sleep though.  :D

  • Hoooooly moly. Had my baseline and scratching done today. Everything looked good with the u/s, but good lord that endometrial scratch was one of the most painful things I have ever experienced. Even the dr warned me ahead of time and was apologetic- said he hates doing this procedure but it's worth it. Better be...

  • @LeFemmeViolette did they do it in the same office as your usual US or the transfer room? I really think I should try this (but now scared cause of the pain) but my RE's office for transfers and retrievals is 2hrs away. I wondering if they would do it in the off site office here closer to home. What cycle day are you on?

  • @thucks They did it in one of the usual exam rooms. First did the baseline u/s and then went right into the scratch. I do wish i had been placed in the same room as when they do retrievals and transfers because those have stirrups that hold your legs under your knees and you don't have to worry about holding your legs up. It was hard maintaining my position with just the foot stirrups.

    I was told to take Advil prior to the scratch- which I did- and maybe it helped with the pain after (basically none), but did nothing for the actual pain during the 30 seconds of scratching. If you have the option, I highly recommend taking some sort of sedative prior to the scratch.

    I believe today marks cycle day 18, if AF started on Jan 21.

    Also, yes, it is painful. But it's only 30 seconds. Dude if you can handle childbirth you can do this! ; )

  • @LeFemmeViolette I can handle child birth it was a c-section but I did almost punch the nurse once when I came awake cause they were pushing on my tummy. I really want to jump in and have a March transfer I can't stand that I wont know anything till the 14th. Happy Vday to me lol. I will be on CD19 at that apt. I'm currently on BCP.

  • @thucks We'll hold a place for ya! I'd assume that if that will be CD19 (and they have availability) they should be able to do an early/mid-march transfer. : )

  • @LeFemmeViolette I'm assuming it would be like usual. I'll stop BCP at the end of the month and start meds right away for a mid-end month transfer. I don't know if he will change up my meds or leave them. We had changed from pills to patched for Estrace this last round. My concern has been that I usually don't have an actual AF between BCP and Estrace a little bit of spotting but they have always said thats fine because my lining has always been where they want it at base line. I've been stocking the March FET board waiting for an official day so I can jump in.

  • LeFemmeViolette Ouch! Is it anything like the cancer scratch they do? Seriously sorry for the extra pain but hopefully its worth it! :) Getting closer and closer to the double transfer! 


    EmilyE13 Looking forward to hearing your Beta # and about your US!! I asked if they drew for a beta number for me at the US but they didn't. Oh well. :) Exciting to see your beans on a screen! 

    @ChocolateIsLife Glad your getting into the dentist. Tooth pain sucks! 

    @Joslynj11 Happy Transfer day! I hope it all is going well! 

    SwtAnana So glad the US went well!! Sounds like you and I are both going back for 7 week 2 US. :) 

    APM_SLP Glad to check in! Looking forward to hearing more about your next US. So what are your steps for graduating from your RE? Will you see them 1 last time before you get the thumbs up for transition. Are they doing anything to get your progesterone level higher? I am a bit nervous for my levels too. Have you started weening meds? I have heard a lot about researching birth-age 5 more than focusing on the birth lol. Who knows. 

    emgem819 glad to keep touching base! You guys are my crew! :) I want to make sure we are supporting each other as much as we can. :) 

    @cherrybea How did your Beta draw go? 

    So....I just saw a post from some other IVF/FET ladies about how when they were weened off the estrogen, progesterone in oil, etc...that they got super sick feeling...like nausea hit hard core along with headaches and more. This makes me super nervous.

    I have been feeling pretty good other than some headaches/heartburn and a little nausea here and there. After reading the posts from the other ladies...I got to thinking maybe the constant stream of estrogen and progesterone is keeping me feeling better than I will around the 10 week marker when they ween me off the meds.

    Any of you guys heard anything about how the weening feels?

  • Thank you guys so much. I have never had a CP before and I just feel so terrible. Has anyone had a CP before with PGS embryos? My beta was 181 on day 10 and that just seems high for CP, anyone have similar experiences to this so I can have some insight? Your thoughts are appreciated 
  • @daniella144 I'm so sorry to hear the news about your beta.  Hugs ❤.

    @EmilyE13 wishing you luck at your u/s tomorrow!  Hoping you are able to see good things developing in there!

  • @daniella144 the miscarriage and loss board was an incredible support system and resource with my losses. I would check in there when you feel up to it, there might be someone who's been in your shoes before with the PGS testing and can give you some info that might bring closure. Again I'm so incredibly sorry you're going through this.

  • @daniella144 Sorry about your loss. My FET in January was a CP with a PGS tested embryo, although my beta numbers were much lower than yours, so I knew right away. My doctor just said that PGS testing can't account for everything and it happens sometimes. I am doing natural transfers, so I was able to jump into another FET cycle and I'm trying again on Friday with another PGS tested embryo. 
    Me: 33, DH: 33

    Married: 2015

    Straight to IVF for autosomal dominant genetic disorder (50% of all embryos)
    ER#1 : Sept 2016 - 46 eggs retrieved - 17 blastocysts for PGD & PGS testing - only 1 normal
    ER#2 : Nov 2016 - 61 eggs retrieved - 16 blastocysts for PGD & PGS testing - 5 normal!
    FET#1: Jan 2017 - c/p
    FET#2: Feb 2017 - c/p
    Natural Pregnancy: July 2017 - TFMR Nov 2017
