[sally]

bonzo thanks for the check-in!

I'm just hanging out on estrace. Lining check on the 13th, and transfer tentatively scheduled for the 19th!

QOTW: hanging out with my dog makes me feel pretty good. Not that I'm biased, but she's kind of the cutest. Of only she were also the best behaved...

[adm11]

Thanks bonzo! Meds are all orders and mock transfer and scrape are Monday. Hope to start the week after. I’m ready to get going!

GL growing that lining sally!

Hi! I have my lining check on Monday morning. Transfer is scheduled on 2/12.

I just finished It All Starts with an Egg, and I feel a renewed sense of hope even though I just turned 42 today. Maybe it’s false hope, but I’m going to do all i can to renew my eggs: coq10, vitamin e and c, get rid of plastics, eat right, and exercise. Either way, I’ll be in optimum health hopefully. I feel young, but I know that is not what my eggs say. It is my way of coping if this transfer of my last two eggs doesn’t work out. I am going to run it by my ER if it doesn’t to try Femara and then maybe a TI or an IUI after I get these eggs their antioxidant. I figure if 70% of my eggs are supposedly abnormal, then wouldn’t lots of eggs give me better odds that one is normal to fertilize?

Hi, I’m here. Time is passing so slowly. I have some check in a week and then start a daily lupron injection. If everything goes as scheduled, we’re looking at the week of March 12 for transfer.

I did get the PGS report back and we have 12 normal embryos and they picked one out for attempt 1 already.

[hoosiermama76]

jacks that is awesome. Twelve normal embryos. That’s awesome.

[hoosiermama76]

Whomp. Lining is good. Transfer is Monday.

[jense927]

Yay for good lining hoosiermama76! Good luck!!

jacks that is awesome about 12 normal embryos! How many did you test?

AFM had hopefully my last beta on Friday. Still waiting to hear that it was negative. Then they are going to schedule me for a SHG to make sure there is no retained product. Then I think she might check to see if I am ovulating and put me on a estrogen patch to get me ready for the next cycle. I don't know I am sort of confused.

Either way we decided to transfer to embryos on day 3 for this round. No PGS testing. Antagonist protocol and not lupron this time since I responded better with the antagonist.

This has been my longest break between cycles in a while and its been nice. I've even started exercising again. I hope I can stick with it!
