@emmasemm ugh girl I’m so sorry you’re dealing with this right now. It’s crazy to think we started IVF a year ago next month. I’m sorry that you’re in this wait phase, you have the patience of a saint. Hope the endocrinologist is able to get everything figured out and back to normal!
@purplg8r@zamora_spin@Avrilmai it’s anazing! It’s mashed potatoes with a layer of sliced mozzarella more mashed potatoes another layer of mozzarella and then more mashed potatoes with breadcrumb and butter on the top. It’s amazing as a leftover as well and a super easy way to spice up mashed potatoes!
@suzycupcake how thick has your lining been on the delestrogen? My nurse mentioned it as a possibility to use, I haven’t known anyone who’s used it before
@crookshanks10 so what I’m thinking with the LP defect, if you were to do IVF they could have you do a medicated FET cycle which they would essential control your body with the meds by preventing you from ovulating and then adding progesterone. Since you wouldn’t ovulate as you normally would the LP defect wouldn’t be an issue. Something to consider if the LP defect has really been an issue.
@Avrilmai estrace is the worst for side effects. I’d get headaches, poor appetite and nausea. When I switched to taking it vaginally the side effects weren’t as bad. I was also taking 2mg 3x a day. When do you go for a scan?
@zamora_spin YES! Thank you for that correction. I needed that. Hope that you have a great time hosting Thanksgiving. And so excited for your FET.
@purplg8r Beta is Dec 4th. Not sure yet if I will test. Maybe the day before so I am prepared if it is bad news? Will see.
@crookshanks10 Really glad they finally changed up your protocol a little. Don't let the past cycles get you down, you are moving forward and that is all that matters.
@kobrien827 FX that your spotting goes away and that the rest of your cycle is smooth sailing.
@whatsbumpinpumpkin Whoop whoop! Here is to you ovulating on your own. Celebrate that victory for sure.
@Avrilmai Beta is dec 4th. FX that the "spot" is nothing to be concerned with and everything is still a go for your FET. Positive vibes!
AFM: We got some pretty devastating news yesterday and none of our other embabies made it to freeze. I am pretty gutted about it and just trying really hard to stay positive for the embabies that we did transfer and not get too caught up in thinking too far ahead of myself. One day at a time.
To all our American friends, Happy Thanksgiving! Hope you all have a wonderful day of festivities ahead.
@beachbunnyxo123 Thank you. Yes we did two. We had always wanted to do two and even on transfer day we waivered as we really wanted to have at least one frozen as back up. Of the three that were being watched, we felt confident that at least would pull through for us. Nothing is a given though. We just hope that at least one of these sticks for us.
@nitnat007 Oh friend, I am so sorry. You are PUPO now and I hope for some good news in a few days.
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.
