ttcbabyj That’s great they let you schedule like that. Mine didn’t at all, but it would have been nice for planning purposes. radiantfate I’m sorry about the blocked tube. I hope the doctor helps you figure out next steps. The planning part is the small conciliation, to all this IVF stuff.

teachermomtobe yeah my body is definitely not cooperating. I was having pretty regular cycles as long as I was taking my metformin. But for some reason this cycle is up to day 64 with no AF. I think they’ll put me on BCPs so I can have my hysteroscopy soon. My progesterone was like 7.4 so I definitely have not ovulated. I know I’m not pregnant, DH had a vasectomy so I’m just waiting to see what they say. My RE is too much of a control freak to let someone else do his transfers. And my transfers are under general anesthesia so he wouldn’t ever let someone else do it. My clinic is a chain and I remember when I just wanted to do monitoring at another clinic he made sure he was on speaker phone with the other RE. 🤦🏽♀️🤦🏽♀️ Wow! I kinda like that he really wants to be hands on and make sure everything is ok. Sounds like you have a good doc.

champagne he really is very hands on. He reminds me of myself a bit a control freak. He tells all the nurses to make sure to give me exact test results, which I really like. I hate the whole your numbers look good thing, I need exact numbers.

AF is finally here. I scheduled my hysteroscopy and mock transfer for next Thursday. So glad I didn’t need to start BCP early.

Happy Anniversary, radiantfate! and congrats to YH on his new job! AFM: I have to go back for another u/s and b/w tomorrow since last week when I went my labs showed that I hadn't ovulated yet. (LOL, of course!)

radiantfate and lastnamewithheld thank you! I am nervous. I just remember when a polyp derailed my whole IUI a couple of years ago. I’m just hoping and praying everything looks fine. My RE was gracious enough to waive his fees for the procedure. We are completely OOP. So we only have to pay for the cultures and the anesthesiologist’s fee.

That’s incredible that he waived his fees for you. I’m 100% OOP too and my clinic would never do that. I’m so happy for you. Infertility is expensive.

Woohoo great news teachermomtobe and @lastnamewitheld!!! AFM- I met with my RE yesterday to talk about the plan for the next FET since last transfer was a bust. I went in wanting to pursue a completely natural cycle, but agreed to compromise a little bit by trying estrogen patches vs oral estrace. And if, after a couple days, the insomnia and anxiety are at the same levels as they were with oral estrace, we will stop and do “plan b” for the next cycle. So I feel okay trying this. Now just to wait for a period to come late this month!

I scheduled my follow-up with the RE on 5/29 to go over my results and come up with a treatment plan. No big news, but at least we're moving forward in the journey.

This makes me sad just typing out the length of time I have left. I’m just a ball of emotions, one minute I feel like fighting and then the next minute I’m crying...ugh.

hi everyone, brand new here! i was having dinner with a friend who found these boards to be helpful several years ago when she was TTC, and reading through the last couple months of posts has me really encouraged about this community and the support you all provide each other. <3 my husband and i have been TTC for about 18 months. i've been doing monitoring for the past three months and decided to try IUI this cycle. when i went in for monitoring last week, they recommended a saline ultrasound this past monday and found a polyp. i can't get in for a polypectomy until a couple weeks from now, so dr. recommended try anyway and if i get my period to then schedule the polypectomy. ttcbabyj, i saw you reference a polyp from last year in one of your posts earlier -- may i ask what your process was if you're okay sharing? excited to be here and i'm sending warm, healing, baby-making energy to you all! L

larraine of course I will share. After an ultrasound my RE found a polyp. I had a polypectomy. It wasn’t too bad. My RE used a local anesthetic to numb the cervix. I remember being numb, I just kind of felt some pressure. I was even able to watch the monitor when he removed the polyp. He cut the polyp and I was done. The uterine lining kind of looked like cotton candy. I was on bed rest for the rest of the day and I was fine the next day.

Hysteroscopy and mock transfer done! I was in a little bit of pain this morning and I took some Aleve. My new nurse coordinator (who is vey disorganized) called in a prescription for Tylenol with Codeine, even though I’m allergic to codeine. 🤦🏽♀️ Hopefully I will get my FET calendar today.
ETA: fix typo where I sounded like a pirate.

Me too! I’m trying to get up the nerve to email my PCP to see if he will submit a prescription for my FET meds. Just trying to save some money.

Do the estrogen pills for FET prevent ovulation? I feel like a n00b for not knowing. Haha
