Re: September 2019 FET
Things are all squared away for my surgery on Tuesday. I put off scheduling my mock transfer but was able to squeeze in an appointment tomorrow afternoon so that I can have that done before I start Lupron on the 8th. Idk why I didn't just schedule it after my saline sono. 🤷
My ER recovery was a breeze so I'm hoping this goes similarly!

Yes we'll know the sex. We'd like a boy first. Half because DH really wants his last name carried on and half because everybody seems to be having girls lately. Out of the 5 babies that will be or have been born this year, 4 are girls. 3 of those are on my mom's side of the family so it's like okay let's even this out lol.
I seem to be one of the lucky ones that isn't too affected by all the crap they put us on. Even with the progesterone when I was doing IUIs never gave me pregnancy-like symptoms. Maybe some slight bloat but that was it.

Oh @stella_700 the BC is awful! How long are you on it for? So thankful that this cycle I won’t be stabbing my self with needles but that could be a possibility if the letrozole doesn’t do its job.
@inthewoods23 exciting for you! This is my first FET also. Hopefully your surgery and mock transfer go perfectly!

I did ask the RE about the grades of our embryos as the embryologist who called to provide the results of the sexes and how many were normal from our PGT testing gave me a crap answer when I asked about their grading. His response was something like "they are all good quality, we don't freeze any of poor quality".
In order from best to worst the sexes rank FFMFM.
F1 was graded 5(B+)(B+)
F2, M1, and F3 are some combination of 5(B+)(B) and 5(B)(B+). I think F2 is the 5(B+)(B), F3 is the other, and M1 is either one - Ingot so thrown off when she was saying B+ because I didn't know that was a thing so I don't remember the order of the B and B+ for the male.
M2 was graded 5BB.
We're opting to transfer our best male embryo first 🙂. We're both very happy that all are good quality and that there's not too much variety (like if one was really great quality and the rest were just ok).
Can't wait for September to be here!

I just had my ER this past Thursday (8/2). Tomorrow morning I should find out my Day 3 stats but I started with 24 eggs retrieved, 20 were mature, and 12 fertilized normally. Edit: Got the call, all 12 are still going strong so we aren't going to freeze any at day 3 this time!
This will be my second FET (my first was March 2018). With my last ER we did a fresh transfer which failed then the FET was successful so we decided to go straight to a FET this time. We aren't doing testing (hubs and I are both 31) and my RE thought it was unnecessary so we aren't going to know the gender unfortunately!

@teriulbricht Ain’t that the truth! My June cycle was super short (AF came like 4 days earlier than I expected) so then when July’s took the normal time it felt like it took æons! I expect this cycle will be the normal length so I have like another week or so to wait!
I got my final embryo report today! We have 5 frozen! 2 are perfect, 2 are almost perfect, and 1 is fair. We’re planning on having 1 (maybe 2) more babies so we should be all good with this retrieval (barring any malfunction like last time)!

I'm still bleeding post-surgery. I'm a little worried I won't be able to tell the difference between post-surgery bleeding and a true AF. Right now I'm replacing pantiliners twice a day (so like around noon and then after I get home from work or right before bed). I'll be giving them a call next week Monday regardless of AF showing. CD1s over the weekend they say to call on Monday and my schedule actually says to call on the 19th if I don't get AF so it's all moot anyway.
And the Lupron might be giving me mood swings lately. Hard to tell, I'm normally a pretty emotional person to begin with 😆

Looks like I'l be having my FET potentially in the first week of Sept so jumping in here. Both DH and I are 31 and trying for our first. Had my ER on 08/01 and we froze 5 embryos, 4 of them are PGT normal and 1 is indeterminate. We requested repeat testing on that one, result pending. Planning to do a natural cycle with hysteroscopy and labs starting on 08/22. This will be my first FET cycle and am excited to have things finally moving along!
@inthewoods23 I hear you about mood swings on those things. During the IVF cycle I swear I was losing it emotionally. I'm glad that this cycle is a natural cycle and will have a break from all the hormones.

My baseline BW showed my estradiol is a little high. They wanted less than 80 and I came back at 84, but that's just fine for them so I got the go ahead to start estradiol valerate injections tomorrow. September is going to be here before we know it 😬 coming fast!
DH still wants to be the one to do the IM injections but he's gone for part of the weekend before the transfer so I'm going to have to learn to do them myself. Hope I don't do too bad with those. Any tips on doing the IM injections yourself?
I plan on taking off the day before through the day after the transfer. I was thinking about getting a massage during the weekend or day before the transfer as an extra boost of relaxation. And DH believes there shouldn't be a problem with him taking off on transfer day which is awesome 🙂 I told him I need his humor for good laughs!

My tip is to warm the vial before pulling it into the syringe. I tried doing it without warming and the stuff just would NOT come out....warming it thinned it out and helped it go into the syringe (it takes a few attempts of a little at a time and then pushing the air back in for me in order to get my full does in the syringe).
Then I just did it standing at the mirror in my bathroom leaning against the countertop on the other leg without putting pressure on my leg that I would be doing the injection in. I made sure the syringe was still warm and then I iced my butt for a minute and then just stuck the needle in. It honestly wasn't much different than going into my stomach area. The hard part was pushing the oil in...even warmed up, it took a lot of pressure to push it in.
Good luck!!

@inthewoods23 I had to hold the needle with whichever hand was on the same side as the injection site and I had to hold it so that my thumb was depressing the syringe. Does that make sense? That way the 90 degree angle was easy to maintain.

I’m hopping over here from the August group since we just got our transfer date for sept 4th. My estrogen was lagging behind my lining a bit but we finally got there and my doctor is happy with what he is seeing. Im so happy to be done with the early morning US and bloodwork. Im super nervous this time around as this is our last embryo and we will most likely not be able to do another cycle. Fingers crossed!
