@beachbunnyxo123 I sure hope so! I’m working out a lot this week, drinking a ton of water, gonna hit up sauna and acupuncture this weekend. So basically everything I used to do to get thc out of my system haha my how times have changed 😂 I don’t have a set date, as soon as it hits zero I’ll come off BCP and start the estrace. So about 14 days after that for FET
@respcare I transferred 2 untested embryos in July and 1 attached. *TW* I made it to 10 weeks but sadly had to have a d&c. Just to give you my background, I turn 34 next month and this will be my 3rd FET coming up. I also had a fresh cycle last year but it didn't take at all. I only have 3 embryos left and I'm trying to decide if I want to transfer 1 or 2. Doc suggests 1 but my insurance is no longer paying for it and I don't think I can afford to do this another time after this, so I'm thinking about transferring 2 again. But to answer your question, I think it depends on your insurance. Some insurance companies will only allow 2 or more if you're over 35 and have had a number of failed attempts.
@wishinandhopin I feel ya on the feeling down part. I'm not even on my fet meds yet, just birth control, but I'm soooooo mooooooody! Our poor bodies! I hope you start to feel better soon
@cato99 Glad everything went well with the saline sono. I have one of those coming up soon.
@leilee101 I'm so sorry it's taking so long for your hcg to come down. When do you go back in for your next check?
@ndz2018 That's a good lining! Glad to hear your good news. I'm sorry for DH. I hope the scan comes back with good news and puts his mind at ease.
Oh... also... has anyone ever had a Rocephin injection on baseline day? I haven't googled it yet but it's on my fet calendar and I've never had it before.
Hi Everyone!! We did our ER in August and have been waiting to do our FET until after my travel died down, after the CCS testing came back and after 1 month off of all meds for me! CD1 for me was 10/19. Just had my E2 today and it was 100. Next appt is 10/31 where I get my lining check. Tentative Transfer Date is 11/6! Thanks, I added my info to the google docs. Fingers crossed, ladies! This is our first FET after our first retrieval. We didn't do a fresh transfer because i've had two miscarriages naturally and didn't want to risk another if PGS/CCS could help us. We have six healthy embabies. We are not finding out the genders. Transferring 1 4AA on 11/6 and am super nervous. Drinking my pomegranate juice and eating pineapple every day. I've been doing acupuncture 2x weekly to increase bloodflow!

@kimberlyshae Rocephin is a strong broad-spectrum antibiotic so maybe they are just covering all bases? I only recognize it because it's what we use for bad ear infections in kids. Pretty potent stuff.
@manders85-2 I was just thinking of you today too and wondering how you were doing! Excited to see that you are scheduled for your first transfer!! Fingers crossed for you! Glad to see you got 6 healthy embryos! November should be an exciting month

**lurking** @wishing-and-hoping I just had to pop in and say - Definitely definitely definitely(!) the estradriol can make you feel down. I'm not sure it affects everyone this way - but you really sounds like how I felt ~10 days ago - I felt literally on the brink of depression. I know circumstances can rightly bring us down too - but if you are feeling a sudden low after starting estrogen - please do bear in mind that it is likely from that. I found that acknowledging this was the first step to feeling better - this is not you! Also, for me once I started the progesterone it seemed to balance out a bit better - I didn't recognise it at first but just one day realised I wasn't feeling as low. So for the next few days just take care of yourself and do any and all things that might make you feel better (including crying/giving out/sitting & wallowing - if that's what you want to do!). This will pass

Hi ladies! I've been lurking here off and on, but mainly been on the Oct FET board since my FET was straddling October and November. I just went yesterday for my last blood and ultrasound and they called me and scheduled me for my FET November 1! This will be my first FET and my first ever transfer so I am excited but also nervous AF for the outcome! I'm hoping to see LOTS of BFP for us November gals
Yay @mkr_0128! I was with you in the August IVF board, right? I’m doing my first transfer too and I pray first time is the charm for both of us! Wouldn’t that just be too lucky?

Omg, I’ve been using the Vivelle estrogen patches. I am so so tired! I know many of you have been reporting moodiness as a result of the estrogen, me too! But I also feel exhausted. I’m on 3 patches today and up it to 4 patches on Tuesday, the day before my lining check. Anyone else on patches or feeling worn down from the estrogen?

@manders85-2 Oh yeah! FOR SURE!! Im on 3 estradiol 3 times a day and the first week I felt Exhausted!! I think my body is finally adjusting to it just the last two days.I’ve also been resting most of the weekend with some packing here and there ( we’re moving out of our shore house next month bc we finally found a buyer). After 11/6 I wont Be able to help with the heavy lifting but I can still micromanage MH Im sure he’ll love that lol. We’re actually hiring movers so it won’t be so bad. How long have you been on the patches for?
@ndz2018 it makes me feel more normal that other folks are tired too! My friend was saying that naturally, her estrogen gives her energy and I’m like, not these patches! I started the patches on 10/19 so it’s been a week and a few days.

Went for BW and US this morning... lining is at 9.3mm . Guess I’ll find out today when to start PIO!! It’s finally happening! Eeekkkk! Someone pinch me! I am trying to be cautiously optimistic here but I have good feeling about this November FET group and that we’ll be seeing lots of BFP’s!!!!!
@ndz2018 that's an amazing lining!! congrats girl. 3 estradriol 3 times a day?? So you take 3 pills at 3 points during the day? what mg? My lining for my last FET only got to 7.1 so I asked the dr to up my dose and he doesn't think it's necessary.. I take vaginally two times a day ( I think it's 2 mg). I was thinking about either pushing for an increase or just taking an extra by mouth twice a day on my own..
Wow @ndz2018 that lining is incredible!!! You go, girl! I haven't taken PIO yet, have you? Is your husband giving you the injections? So exciting, you're getting close!

Hii ladies - I'm late to the group but hoping I can join in last minute! Been a crazy past few weeks trying to get ready for my upcoming FET. Scheduled for 11/8 if my lining looks good at my upcoming appointment on Halloween.
I just had a lap where mild endometriosis was found and removed, and the scratch.
This will be our third transfer (first fresh ended in CP, first FET was BFN) We did four IUIs before this all BFN. I've never been more nervous for a transfer like this one. Putting our last two in, hoping for one or both to stick so badly!!
@ellemarie7 welcome to the party! Hoping everything looks good Wednesday and you can get your FET on next week
GUESS WHOSE HCG IS FINALLY NEGATIVE! Woot woot. Finallllly.. that took like 10 weeks! So excited to finally be moving forward, just need to submit everything for insurance but should be starting coming off BCP and starting up the estradiol by the end of the week for sure, which puts me at mid Nov for FET
Awesome for @ellemarie7 and @ndz2018 and @manders85-2 and @mkr_0128 with your FETs coming up so sooooooon!! Since I’m straddling this group bc my FET is scheduled for 12/3 I feel like I’m in such a holding pattern compared to y’all! Can’t wait to see what the final stretch brings for you!
@babydust2507 how are you!? Where are you lurking from?? What’s new with your journey?

Thank you @cato99!! I know exactly how you feel! I was supposed to have my transfer early September and then mine got canceled so I was so upset and discouraged when I found out id have to wait almost 2 more months. It's so frustrating but so worth it so hang in there!
@mkr_0128 I hope this is too! Would really love to go into the holidays with a sticky bean, and ending this 2018 roller coaster year of IVF. Here's hoping we all get amazing news this time around, and have babies on the way 2019.
@babydust2507 GL on your beta Friday...will be thinking of you xo
I'm also just curious...is everyone on PIO shots or suppositories? What's your dosage and when do you start? My first fresh transfer that took but ended in a chemical, they told me my progesterone was "a bit low" but I was on suppositories so sometimes it all doesn't show up in the blood work(?). I'm on PIO shots this time, did them for my first FET, but was wondering if you're on them what your dosage was...
@leilee101 OMG I just YAY'd really loud at work when I saw that you're finally down to ZERO!!!! I'm so happy for you! Let's break out the champagne girl!!! As for the estradriol I take 2mg pills orally 3 times a day right now. On 11/1, the day I start I start PIO, I will go back down to 2mg twice a days. Weird that your doc won't up your Estradriol . What does your clinic want your lining to be for transfer? Why doesn't your doc want to up it? That's strange and I would totally do the same thing and take an extra one lol. Or push your doc to up it! Say something like last time it only got to 7, why don't we increase it and see what happens?? If he says no ask him for an explanation why??? I would!
@ellemarie7 Welcome to the Nov FET party!!! Sorry to hear your other transfers didn't work but 3rd times the charm , right?As for PIO or suppositories I have both PIO and endometrium inserts. The PIO I'm on 1ml once a day except for the first day on 11/1 I have to do the PIO in the morning and night if want to do them at night time. I do have boxes of endometrin inserts that my nurse said to hang on to for when the discharge me Also here is the link to our Nov spreadsheet so we can keep track of everyone's appointment, protocols, etc its in my signature but if you're on mobile it wont show so here ya go https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1x_83Cj5xeatr-uYgbP02NrQsZYnewoEAJOyyb6lhNyo/edit#gid=0
@manders85-2 Nope not yet I start PIO on 11/1 I'll probably make MH do them but I can do them myself if i need to.
@cato99 UGh there's a whole lotta hurry up and wait in this journey but def stick around here
Ahhh @babydust2507 please let us know or I’ll just lurk on the October fet board! 11/2 is just around the corner!! I was supposed to be in the October group but my transfer got pushed a week when my cycle day 1 was a little later than expected.
I am doing PIO and endometrium suppositories. If my lining is good tmw I start on Thursday which is 6 days before my transfer on 11/6

@ndz2018 thank you!! I am hoping so hard that third time IS the charm. Cautiously optimistic!!
Okay so @ndz2018, @manders85-2 they only have me on 1mL every morning (so same as you @mkr_0128 ... should be starting 11/3). Are PIO and suppositories standard protocol or are you on extra for any reason? Slightly worried that what they have me on is not enough since they told me my levels were on the low side first time around, but don't know if I'm over thinking it...
@ndz2018 wow over a 9 that’s awesome!!! Don’t panic when you go back the day before transfer, the PIO thins the lining a bit so that is totally normal for it to be lower. What type was your lining at?
you guys I took my last bcp last night!!! Woohoo!!! I go in for baseline on Friday! So excited I can’t wait! Has anyone here taken baby aspirin and lovenox for a transfer before? I don’t have a clotting disorder but they’ve seen it help in unexplained so we are doing that this cycle
@beachbunnyxo123 hi! That’s so exciting!! So I’m also unexplained although with finding the endo my RE thinks it could have been that. We are doing a daily baby aspirin this cycle though as well as a low dose steroid! Maybe this will be the trick for us?? xx
@beachbunnyxo123 THANKS for the warning!! I think he said type 1, Idk what that means though?? I go back on Monday morning for BS and US hopefully it won't thin too much!! CONGRATS on no more BCP!!!! I've actually been thinking about adding baby aspirin in as well.... I have no known clotting disorder either. Is there anything bad that can come from it?
Re: Nov 2018 FET
@wishinandhopin I feel ya on the feeling down part. I'm not even on my fet meds yet, just birth control, but I'm soooooo mooooooody! Our poor bodies! I hope you start to feel better soon
@cato99 Glad everything went well with the saline sono. I have one of those coming up soon.
@leilee101 I'm so sorry it's taking so long for your hcg to come down. When do you go back in for your next check?
@ndz2018 That's a good lining! Glad to hear your good news. I'm sorry for DH. I hope the scan comes back with good news and puts his mind at ease.

CD1 for me was 10/19. Just had my E2 today and it was 100.
Next appt is 10/31 where I get my lining check.
Tentative Transfer Date is 11/6!
Thanks, I added my info to the google docs.
Fingers crossed, ladies! This is our first FET after our first retrieval. We didn't do a fresh transfer because i've had two miscarriages naturally and didn't want to risk another if PGS/CCS could help us.
We have six healthy embabies. We are not finding out the genders. Transferring 1 4AA on 11/6 and am super nervous.
Drinking my pomegranate juice and eating pineapple every day.
I've been doing acupuncture 2x weekly to increase bloodflow!

@beachbunnyxo123 Yup, my nurse called they’re upping my estradiol to 3 times a day and back on Monday for a recheck.
@kimberlyshae Never heard of it before... is it only on baseline day you take it?
@manders85-2 Welcome! My FET is for 11/6 too! Glad to have another TWW Buddy!
We had to run over to the clinic earlier today to sign consent forms! Here we go!
Rocephin is a strong broad-spectrum antibiotic so maybe they are just covering all bases? I only recognize it because it's what we use for bad ear infections in kids. Pretty potent stuff.
@manders85-2

@wishing-and-hoping I just had to pop in and say - Definitely definitely definitely(!) the estradriol can make you feel down. I'm not sure it affects everyone this way - but you really sounds like how I felt ~10 days ago - I felt literally on the brink of depression. I know circumstances can rightly bring us down too - but if you are feeling a sudden low after starting estrogen - please do bear in mind that it is likely from that. I found that acknowledging this was the first step to feeling better - this is not you! Also, for me once I started the progesterone it seemed to balance out a bit better - I didn't recognise it at first but just one day realised I wasn't feeling as low. So for the next few days just take care of yourself and do any and all things that might make you feel better (including crying/giving out/sitting & wallowing - if that's what you want to do!). This will pass

I just had a lap where mild endometriosis was found and removed, and the scratch.
This will be our third transfer (first fresh ended in CP, first FET was BFN) We did four IUIs before this all BFN. I've never been more nervous for a transfer like this one. Putting our last two in, hoping for one or both to stick so badly!!
GUESS WHOSE HCG IS FINALLY NEGATIVE! Woot woot. Finallllly.. that took like 10 weeks! So excited to finally be moving forward, just need to submit everything for insurance but should be starting coming off BCP and starting up the estradiol by the end of the week for sure, which puts me at mid Nov for FET
YESSSS woohoo @leilee101! So happy for you

@leilee101 yayyy for moving forward!!
@mkr_0128 I hope this is too! Would really love to go into the holidays with a sticky bean, and ending this 2018 roller coaster year of IVF. Here's hoping we all get amazing news this time around, and have babies on the way 2019.
@babydust2507 GL on your beta Friday...will be thinking of you xo
I'm also just curious...is everyone on PIO shots or suppositories? What's your dosage and when do you start? My first fresh transfer that took but ended in a chemical, they told me my progesterone was "a bit low" but I was on suppositories so sometimes it all doesn't show up in the blood work(?). I'm on PIO shots this time, did them for my first FET, but was wondering if you're on them what your dosage was...
@ellemarie7 Welcome to the Nov FET party!!! Sorry to hear your other transfers didn't work but 3rd times the charm , right?As for PIO or suppositories I have both PIO and endometrium inserts. The PIO I'm on 1ml once a day except for the first day on 11/1 I have to do the PIO in the morning and night if want to do them at night time. I do have boxes of endometrin inserts that my nurse said to hang on to for when the discharge me
Also here is the link to our Nov spreadsheet so we can keep track of everyone's appointment, protocols, etc its in my signature but if you're on mobile it wont show so here ya go
https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1x_83Cj5xeatr-uYgbP02NrQsZYnewoEAJOyyb6lhNyo/edit#gid=0
@manders85-2 Nope not yet I start PIO on 11/1 I'll probably make MH do them but I can do them myself if i need to.
@cato99 UGh there's a whole lotta hurry up and wait in this journey but def stick around here
I am doing PIO and endometrium suppositories. If my lining is good tmw I start on Thursday which is 6 days before my transfer on 11/6

Okay so @ndz2018, @manders85-2 they only have me on 1mL every morning (so same as you @mkr_0128 ... should be starting 11/3). Are PIO and suppositories standard protocol or are you on extra for any reason? Slightly worried that what they have me on is not enough since they told me my levels were on the low side first time around, but don't know if I'm over thinking it...
@mkr_0128 your transfer is SO CLOSE!!
@manders85-2 I'm happy ours are so close together!! How long do they make you wait before beta? Are you a POAS tester lol
@leilee101 great news! Yay! So what now?
you guys I took my last bcp last night!!! Woohoo!!! I go in for baseline on Friday! So excited I can’t wait! Has anyone here taken baby aspirin and lovenox for a transfer before? I don’t have a clotting disorder but they’ve seen it help in unexplained so we are doing that this cycle
