    @brooklyngirl18 that's amazing! How exciting!! Monday can't come soon enough!!!




  • @thucks thinking of you as you should be pupo very soon if not already!! Prayers they are sticky and healthy and STRONG like their parents!!
  • Congrats @brooklyngirl18 !!! FX for awesomeness on Monday! :) 
  • Hmmm, only part of my post showed up. Oh well!

    I had my lining check today, 15mm. Doctor didn't seem to mind and confirmed transfer for the 14th, but that number seems high to me. I checked my previous IVF notes and saw that I was 13mm last time so not huge difference, but still. 

    Anyone know what the cut of for lining thickness is, and if having this much tissue with impact implantation negatively? 
  • Thank you so much ladies!!

    @cowboycorgi I think my lining was 13 or 14 several days before my transfer and my dr was very pleased. not sure what the official cut off is but I'm pretty sure that's a great place to be.

  • So this brings up a good question: do some RE's check lining thickness right before the transfer? My check was on Monday, PIO started on Tuesday, transfer on Sunday (so I guess I was at 7mm 6 days before transfer...?) If it grows (on Estrace) about 1mm a day can I assume I will be around 12-13mm at transfer?I've looked around and see people who BFP with thicknesses all over the board.  Is there such a thing as an optimal thickness? All our RE's seem to have their own different benchmarks... 
  • Congrats on being pupo @thucks!!

    I'll be rooting for you all from the sidelines this month. I'm cancelled bc I'm having a very irregular cycle. I'm guessing it's due to my failed FET last month. So frustrating! My estrogen was 311 today and pro 0.8. I have a 19mm follicle, so who knows, seems I'll be ovulating any day! But I had heavy flow two days ago. Very weird! Maybe we'll give it a try the old fashioned way! lol!




  • congrats @thucks :) hoohah decisions LOL  :D
  • @thucks congrats on being PUPO!! FX this is your successful FET. When will you poas?

  • @Itlavac  im so sorry you got cancelled..i hope your cycle get situated fast and you'll be able to move forward next month.. 
  • @brooklyngirl18 YAY! that's sooo exciting :) turns out your doctor's confidence was right on. 
    @cmiller73 hooray for being transfer buddies :) They will call me tomorrow with a time, same thing that they do all the retrievals first. I understand the frustration of having to drive into Boston with the potential for horrible traffic. At least they should let you know the day before so you can plan.
    I've been feeling so emotional this month from the progesterone. No joke I cried when watching a commercial! I'm looking forward to the transfer, but not feeling optimistic after last months failure. I'm trying to shake it off. Almost Friday!

  • @kaseycoco I'm always emotional (yes, I cry at EVERYTHING... mainly because of the music or at least that is what I tell myself hahaha, I'm a 'sympathetic crier' That's a thing, right?) FX you get a convenient time for your transfer!  I just want anything in the afternoon. That makes it way easier (considering we have to go out of the way to have blood drawn before we head to the hospital)
  • @Hoping10 FX for a great beta and YAY for your stick results :)

  • Big congrats to @brooklyngirl18 and @Hoping10 on the BFPs! How exciting! Looking forward to hearing good beta news from you both.

    And @thucks, congrats on being PUPO. Did you do assisted hatching, or did one of them hatch on its own? Too funny that you were making decisions with the thing already in your hoo-ha, ha.

    AFM, my lining yesterday was 8 (and my doc said that was fine, though hearing 15 from some of you makes me wonder). My estrogen is up to 176 so we're sticking with three Estradiol pills a day, and I started the Crinone last night (will do twice a day). Transfer is next Monday (don't know time yet, they said early afternoon) and I scheduled acupuncture sessions for before and after. Never tried that before but it can only help... So nauseous today that I finally caved and took a Zofran. This doesn't bode well for pregnancy if I can't even tolerate the nausea that comes from an estrogen level of 176!

  • I'm currently scheduled for June 15th FET. Good luck to all the  ladies transferring this month!!
  • @ltlavac i'm so sorry you're cancelled. 
    @hoping10 good luck at your beta tomorrow, so excited for you.

    @Stairbear We have always done assisted hatching. I'm not sure if that one had hatched on it's own or not. The Doc was trying to catch us in the moment and transfer all three so was the embryologist. When I walked in the room and told the embryologist my name, birthday and how many she asked if we were really sure only 2. Surprisingly I'm the only one scared to do 3 DH was just sitting back like I don't care.

  • @thucks I'm so sorry to hear #3 didn't make it. FX for the two safely tucked away snuggling in for a healthy 9 months. 
  • Its getting closer for 2 of you!! @cmiller73 and @kaseycoco Sunday will be here before you know it!!
    @amanning2011 when do you go back to see if cyst went away?

    AFM one week away for my lining and bloodwork appointment cant come soon enough!!
  • @nim81 i know u plan on poas next week, but when is your beta appointment? How many did you transfer?
  • thucks - darn it. i'm sorry to hear about your third embryo. were they all frozen together? I asked about my 3 the other day and was told they were all frozen separately. GL in your 2WW, sending you lots of sticky baby dust sprinkles!

    Hi, my beta is June 16th and I only transferred 1!
  • @nim81 ok awesome!! Ill be thinking of u..
  • thucksthucks member
    @brooklyngirl18 If forgot to say that I will NOT be POAS. I have the biggest phobia of those things. TW even when I was prego with the twins i never poas'ed never I hate them they are evil in my eyes lol. To much anxiety. 
    @i-wanna-b-the-girl-w-most-cake All of my 5days were frozen together and then this last 3 were 6days and they were frozen together. I know this may sound bad but I am totally ok with that 3rd not making it. I've gone through 6 FET's I'm ready for my last fresh cycle if either of these 2 don't take. I told them yesterday to be strict about it because it's $900 to refreeze that one and then another $1200 to thaw so it better be strong enough but she said it defiantly wouldn't have made it.

  • thucks - sounds like it worked out for you then! very cool. I am really contemplating our embie #3 lately. We have one Good/Good, one Good/Fair, and one Fair/Fair (this is how my RE grades them) so I assume we will use the best 2 for transfer. So do we really want the expense (both emotionally and financially) for a fair quality embryo? should we just put in all 3 and just see what happens? Is this even my decision to make or does my RE ultimately decide since she is doing the procedure? Obviously, I have lots of questions! :smile:
