bonzo Great news! What are your next steps? Now we wait for PGS results to come back, and I have a repeat Doppler ultrasound to see if my uterine blood flow has improved after months of acupuncture, baby aspirin and zero caffeine. Then we can get started on FET prep, so hopefully transfering in August or early September!

♪♫choppinbroccoli♫♪, I'm so sorry there wasn't better news. How many do you need to do testing? I actually don't know. I'm assuming they would accept just one. It's more about how much money you want to lose out on because you're gonna get charged a LOT whether it's one or six. Some charge more after a certain number, too.

I'm pretty drained about this subject because it has been so trying. Sorry I didn't update right away.
They were able to biopsy two. The quality of one was worse than the other, but we got two samples to send off. I should find out in a week or so if either can be transferred. 🤞🤞

Trail transfer went well! She got in without too much of an issue and for the first time in 4 years, I cried some happy tears through this journey! My sister was crying and even my doctor started tearing up. FET is scheduled for 9/13! Because I am on IM lupron, I don't have to do OCP prep or lupron down regulation. So 8/21 I go in for my baseline scan and start estradiol vallerate on 8/25!! Woot Woot! Now to keep a positive outlook and accept whatever happens from here on out. But for at least 10 days, I will get to be blissfully PUPO!

skidevil87 , what wonderful news!!! So happy for you! Side note - you are the first person that I know that has taken/will take estradiol valerate. I took it for my last transfer. 😊 Our fertility clinics' normal protocol is IM estradiol vallerate- titrated based on the patient's E2 level.

Thanks for all the love guys! Question for those doing FETs... When do you start "cleaning" your body before the FET? I'm already gluten free/dairy free/soy free due to the endometriosis, but lets be honest... when should I stop drinking?! I feel like maybe the day of my baseline ultrasound?! but I sort of want to do it ahead of time to keep my family off guard- if I just all of the sudden stop drinking, they will know. I almost want to just pick an arbitrary date.

Just got off the phone with my IVF nurse, and my baseline sono will be the 13th, retrieval probably between the 22nd-26th. 😬😬😬

Just got back from meeting with my IVF coordinator, retrieval is tentatively set for Sept 5.
I was a mess after the meeting, cried on the way home. I am so angry, and nervous, and angry. H leaves on Monday and won't be back until a few days before my retrieval and it sucks balls. Ugh.

skidevil87 baseline seems like a good time. I kind of think that if you're going to stress about not drinking around people too much you might be better off just sipping a drink then stressing about fooling people, but I've also pretty much quit drinking altogether since we've been at this for a while so no one really expects me to drink anymore anyway 😜 You probably already know this, but if you drink coffee/have caffeine you might want to taper before so you don't go through withdrawal during FET prep. Good luck!!!
