@suzycupcake hey! I'll be wishing AF upon you! My clinic said if it didn't come 5 days after stopping BCP to call them as it might delay my cycle dates (but that was for my FET protocol)
Thanks @mkr_0128 My RE doesn't do BC. Maybe I'll call them tomorrow and ask about this.
People think we become mothers when we give birth but the truth is we become mothers the moment we start calling our babies to us in our thoughts, dreams and prayers. Some paths are short and some are so long that you can easily forget where you were headed.

@mkr_0128 I absolutely know this is so much easier said than done but try not to worry! The timing could absolutely mean implantation. My clinic has said that bleeding is a lot more common with IVF pregnancies. How are you feeling today? Thinking of you! For my last two transfers I POAS and I am literally forcing myself not to and wait for my beta. If you can tough it out, I would. It almost makes it more nerve-wracking lol!
And good luck to all the ladies having transfers today! Fingers crossed for sticky beans across the board!!
@ndz2018@manders85-2 and @wishing-and-hoping HAPPY TRANSFER DAY!!!!!! Special shout out to @ndz2018 for waiting 234987570935 years for today to come. Praying for a smooth transfer and sticky beans for all of you
@suzycupcake welcome! Do you usually have long cycles? Have you been tracking temp or anything to give you an idea of where you are in the cycle? I have never had to induce AF but I think a week is a reasonable time frame to start harassing your doctor
AFM: My sono saline was today and it was fine. Doc said everything looked perfect. I have a whole month to wait for transfer, so I'm just hoping it will go by fast. In the meantime, I'm going to camp out on this board and continue rooting for you girls! Bring on the BFP's November!!!
Thank you everyone for your support and well wishes on transfer day for us!
Everything went great. Our day 5 3AA turned 4AA right after thaw and the doc said my lining and uterus looked perfect. We did acupuncture and that Valium really worked it’s magic. Here’s hoping our #7 embryo burrows his or her way in! Cant wait to hear from you @ndz2018 and @wishing-and-hoping

@manders85-2 your embaby is adorable!! Def jealous of the Valium my clinic doesn’t give you any @wishing-and-hoping Hoping everything went Perfect for you today too!
@leilee101 Seriously it felt like this day would never come but I’m so grateful it has. Now the dreaded wait!
@ellemarie7 aw thank you! That does make me feel better! I feel fine with the exception of the spotting. It has continued through the day, but it's definitely brown (still like my pre period spotting though). Sometimes there's barely anything there, other times its a bit more, though I wouldn't say alot (also like my pre period spotting).. Oh the joys of not knowing what it is! 😫 I did call my clinic and the nurse gave me kinda a general expected answer of "it could be normal.. Keep an eye on it" and I asked her if I maybe needed to up my progesterone and she said my dose was plenty. I also asked if it was possible to get your period while taking it (cause I've read people that do) and she said it should hold off but in rare cases you can get it... So everything I expected her to say, so I wouldn't say I felt any better after the call lol. When is your beta??
@kimberlyshae great to hear about your awesome sono!
so many transfers today! so exciting. we ended up having 2 blastocysts today and the RE and embryologist each recommended transferring them both so... we did! i was surprised they suggested two, but they were both early blastocysts so there was not a clear "winner" and also transferring one would mean a second round of freezing for the other, which isn't ideal. my transfers have always been a little tricky because of my tilted uterus but we got them in there after some time and effort (thank you valium). overall not what i expected from today but i am (super cautiously) hopeful.

@roisis Awww thank you that for reals brought tears to my eyes. The waiting has got to be worth it! You fight every day to get what you want sometimes and life always throws obstacles at you ( like car accident and canceled cycles) but you either Persevere or you give up! I am a Fighter and so are you!!! No one said this was gonna be an easy journey but deep down in my heart i know it’s worth every tear that I’ve shed.
Mad love for all you ladies and the freakin amazing suppprt you’ve all given me! No matter what happens in the next 8 days I know I have An amazing support system with all of you! Thank you!
@mkr_0128 hang in there! Less than a week left! Don't you love how vague the nurses can be lol...like thaaanks. My transfer is tomorrow so my beta is 11/21!
Also ladies, kind of a cool story...we got chickens over the summer and have been waiting, waiting, and waiting for them to lay eggs. They were supposed to in September/October based on their age and we honestly thought we got chickens that couldn't lay. We always kind of joked that them and I were struggling in that department, lol. I went out this morning to feed them and GUESS WHAT. EGGS! How about that for timing? What are the odds it happened this week!? I am taking this as an amazing sign for all of us. LOL!
Hope everyone that transferred is feeling amazing today, y'all have been on my mind, lots of sticky vibes sent your way!
I'm told my lining looked perfect this morning! I don't really know what the numbers are supposed to be but I think I saw 9.13. I got the go ahead to start PIO tonight.... I've never been so excited and scared shitless at the same time. My husband won't be up here until Friday so this injection should be interesting.
@hclausen85 Sounds like a good lining to me!! Mine was 9.3 the day before transfer. As for advice on giving yourself your own PIO ... DONT HESITATE! I watched A few YouTube videos in giving your own PIO too! GL!
@ndz2018 and @manders85-2 - Beautiful Embies!!! So glad everything went ok, hoping for an easy TWW for you ladies. @wishing-and-hoping what a fun surprise to have on transfer day to have two, it definitely sounds like that was the best move. Good luck during your TWW! Plan on testing at all ...? @kimberlyshae yay for a clear sono! Just one more step closer .. Why do you have to wait a whole month? @ellemarie7 that is most def a sign, those chickens know whatsup ... @hclausen85 congrats on the go ahead!! Agreed that the PIO solo is all about the hesitation, I can't look at the needle going in, which makes things interesting when I have to do it on my own lol
@ellemarie7 those chicken eggs are a great sign!! They look amazing!
@hclausen85, congrats on the 9.13 lining! And on your first injection... It's way more intimidating than it hurts in my experience. You'll do great!
@ndz2018, your emby is precious! It's crazy how different they can look. We didn't get a print out photo, it was wild, they brought in an "isolate" that had the embryo in it and projected a live shot of what little #7 looked like at that instant before drawing him or her up in the pipette. That blurry shot is my husband's photo of the screen. This machine looked like a nicu incubator. The embryologist's hands go through little holes. Do your clinics do this? This was our first Transfer so don't know if this is typical or not. We go to CCRM and I know they use a lot of new technology to keep the embryo in a 'perfect' environment up until the time of transfer.

@manders85-2 I go to a CCRM clinic as well it was crazy when the zoomed in on the embryo! I can’t believe how tiny it is. Our picture is blurry too since it’s a picture of the screen.
So cool you go to a CCRM too, @blackhottamales. Where are you in your process??
Congrats on your transfer, @Lauren3617. Welcome to the group! @ndz2018 has a google doc if you want to add your info there. Here’s to hoping for a lot of November successes here!

Congratulations to all the recent transfers! And to everyone transferring soon, good luck!
I’m out, probably for the next couple of months. It’s just a dumb scheduling problem where my case manager dropped the ball (travel conflicts with monitoring and she didn’t figure it out until the other day), and in the large scheme of things it’s not a huge deal after all the ups and downs of IF and IVF, but I had my hopes up for this time and as y’all know it still hurts! I’ll be rooting for you all, and maybe see you in PAIF in a few months 😉
Hi, everyone. Congratulations to everyone who is PUPO already. I'm going to jump back in after my Bump break, since my RE is putting me on antibiotics and we are trying for a late November transfer--as long as my lining cooperates!

@roisis Awww thank you that for reals brought tears to my eyes. The waiting has got to be worth it! You fight every day to get what you want sometimes and life always throws obstacles at you ( like car accident and canceled cycles) but you either Persevere or you give up! I am a Fighter and so are you!!! No one said this was gonna be an easy journey but deep down in my heart i know it’s worth every tear that I’ve shed.
Mad love for all you ladies and the freakin amazing suppprt you’ve all given me! No matter what happens in the next 8 days I know I have An amazing support system with all of you! Thank you!
@mkr_0128 hang in there! Less than a week left! Don't you love how vague the nurses can be lol...like thaaanks. My transfer is tomorrow so my beta is 11/21!
Also ladies, kind of a cool story...we got chickens over the summer and have been waiting, waiting, and waiting for them to lay eggs. They were supposed to in September/October based on their age and we honestly thought we got chickens that couldn't lay. We always kind of joked that them and I were struggling in that department, lol. I went out this morning to feed them and GUESS WHAT. EGGS! How about that for timing? What are the odds it happened this week!? I am taking this as an amazing sign for all of us. LOL!
Hope everyone that transferred is feeling amazing today, y'all have been on my mind, lots of sticky vibes sent your way!
I'm told my lining looked perfect this morning! I don't really know what the numbers are supposed to be but I think I saw 9.13. I got the go ahead to start PIO tonight.... I've never been so excited and scared shitless at the same time. My husband won't be up here until Friday so this injection should be interesting.
@hclausen85 Sounds like a good
lining to me!! Mine was 9.3 the day before transfer. As for advice on giving yourself your own PIO ... DONT HESITATE! I watched A few YouTube videos in giving your own PIO too! GL!
@wishing-and-hoping what a fun surprise to have on transfer day to have two, it definitely sounds like that was the best move. Good luck during your TWW! Plan on testing at all ...?
@kimberlyshae yay for a clear sono! Just one more step closer .. Why do you have to wait a whole month?
@ellemarie7 that is most def a sign, those chickens know whatsup ...
@hclausen85 congrats on the go ahead!! Agreed that the PIO solo is all about the hesitation, I can't look at the needle going in, which makes things interesting when I have to do it on my own lol
@hclausen85, congrats on the 9.13 lining! And on your first injection... It's way more intimidating than it hurts in my experience. You'll do great!
@ndz2018, your emby is precious! It's crazy how different they can look. We didn't get a print out photo, it was wild, they brought in an "isolate" that had the embryo in it and projected a live shot of what little #7 looked like at that instant before drawing him or her up in the pipette. That blurry shot is my husband's photo of the screen. This machine looked like a nicu incubator. The embryologist's hands go through little holes. Do your clinics do this? This was our first Transfer so don't know if this is typical or not. We go to CCRM and I know they use a lot of new technology to keep the embryo in a 'perfect' environment up until the time of transfer.

@manders85-2 I go to a CCRM clinic as well it was crazy when the zoomed in on the embryo! I can’t believe how tiny it is. Our picture is blurry too since it’s a picture of the screen.
I'm joining a little late, but I am in the FET process and had my transfer earlier this morning.
I look forward to getting to know you all!
Congrats on your transfer, @Lauren3617. Welcome to the group! @ndz2018 has a google doc if you want to add your info there. Here’s to hoping for a lot of November successes here!

I’m out, probably for the next couple of months. It’s just a dumb scheduling problem where my case manager dropped the ball (travel conflicts with monitoring and she didn’t figure it out until the other day), and in the large scheme of things it’s not a huge deal after all the ups and downs of IF and IVF, but I had my hopes up for this time and as y’all know it still hurts! I’ll be rooting for you all, and maybe see you in PAIF in a few months 😉
