I saw chatting at the end of the May thread so I took the liberty to start a new thread for JUNE. Holy moly, where is this year going??
I've been on estradiol for 10 days so far, and after my blood work and ultrasound this morning, my E2 is 130 and my lining is 10mm. They want it E2 to be around 200 and lining to be 9-14mm.
Sooooo I have to up my estradiol 2mg (now doing 5mg) and come back Monday.
This is shaping up to be similar to my fresh cycle; my E2 was lower than expected the whole time, but it worked out just fine. Here's hoping this will be a repeat of that.

Thanks for starting @lastnamewitheld! I hope your lining improves and the cycle is successful for you.
AFM, DH and I are finally on the same page of trying one more IUI with donor sperm. We should do it starting with my next cycle. In the meantime it’s been a while so I need to make sure everything is set.

All of meds for FET have been ordered. I should receive the bulk of my meds today. I had this weird situation happen where I got burned with the heating pad during my hysteroscopy. It started of like a little burn, but two weeks later it hasn’t healed and is very painful. I went to urgent care yesterday the doctor cleaned it (cue the curse words) and prescribed me some antibiotics because it was infected. I emailed my RE and nurse coordinator they were very apologetic. I just didn’t think you could get like seriously burned my a heating pad. 🤷🏽♀️

lastnamewithheld, thanks for getting june going! fx for a successful appointment monday <3 champagne, good to hear you and DH are on the same page about next steps! i just did my first IUI cycle two weeks ago and am preeeeetty sure my period's coming any moment now, based on those oh-so-fun cramps and my mood, grr... you said it had been awhile, how long has it been since you last tried? ttcbabyj, a heating pad burn?! what a crappy situation. i can't believe it still wasn't healing two weeks later. i'm sorry to hear that :/ AFM, still figuring out what june will look like for us. my job is a travel job, which makes the timing of multiple monitoring appointments tough. i'm in town most of the month of june (requested a break), so we tried IUI near the end of may but methinks my period is on the horizon. every month when it comes i'm thankful for a regular-ish cycle and enraged / sad that it's here again. i'm traveling most of july, so we may just take a break from dr. assistance for a couple months and figure out how we want to proceed in august. is anyone TTC also trying to lose weight? i think i remember someone in the may thread mentioning WW. i started taking levothyroxine in december 2018 and have gained about 35 pounds and am desperate to lose it but i've been having a hard time. curious if anyone else is in the TTC + trying to lose weight boat. happy weekend all! L

Wow ttcbabyj I had no idea either! I hope you are feeling better now. Thank you! After the second day of antibiotics the wound is finally not so tender. I guess being sedated and not being able to say ‘hey that’s kind of hot’ was the issue.

ttcbabyj, I’m good, just waiting. And waiting. And waiting. Ha! Not sure if I will test or not. Betas are 6/14 so I may test the night before. And that’s crazy you got burned with the heating pad. Ouch!

lastnamewithheld, thanks for starting the thread! I hope this cycle is a success for you! Wow ttcbabyj! That's crazy! I hope you're feeling much better now! champagne, glad to hear you and DH are on the same page. Good luck with the IUI! And thanks for your follow up in the May thread...we're doing CoQ10 w/ the conception XR so I'll let you know in a few months how it turns out if you're still lurking around here teachermomtobe, good luck with the betas! FX! AFM not much to report at the moment. Still working on the pre-hysteroscopy weight loss. I've got about 35 pounds to go. I did have a few diet setbacks w/ DS's birthday...and mine is coming up next week. I had a laugh the other day though, I realized that once I get to the right BMI to have the hysteroscopy I'll be the smallest DH has ever seen me!

Betas are tomorrow. I tested tonight. I got a definite line on 3 cheap tests. They are faint so at 9dp5dt I’m feeling guarded but hopeful. We’ll see what tomorrow’s blood test shows.

TWs Betas on Friday were 170, Sunday were 460 so I'm definitely pregnant! I go back for one beta on Tuesday. Then they will schedule an ultrasound for next week. I am in complete shock. It took a year and a half of trying (4 IUIs, 1 IVF cycle, 1 fresh transfer, finally a successful FET) to get pregnant with V that I can't believe this was just one FET and it worked. I feel bad that I wasn't here very long. I wish all of you the best and hope your BFP are right around the corner!

we're taking this month off from trying so i can have my polypectomy this friday. i was told all along it was a "minor procedure" (and i think it still is) but i was just told recovery is 4-6 weeks?? i'm not great at "resting" so this will be a test of patience. sending good thoughts to all others this month! <3

ttcbabyj, that burn sounds awful, glad you're on the mend teachermomtobe, do not apologize for not spending much time here - congrats!! larraine, is it for a uterine polyp? lastnamewithheld, was your transfer today? Mine too! Sending sticky vibes! Hey y'all! I haven't been around much because I feel like I've been boring on the TTC front, and life is a little crazy. Glad to see people graduating from here though! AFM, Did a mock cycle last month for the ERA biopsy, got that back and it wasn't much new info. It showed I was most receptive at 125 hours after the first PIO. My clinic normally schedules transfers at 120 hours give or take so it's not much of a difference. The funny part is that my FET was today, BUT I got violently ill minutes before we were supposed to head to the clinic...ended up having to move my appointment (to 126.5 hrs) and somehow survived after drinking a ton of imodium, lol. The good news is that our embryo was perfect, grade 1 and hatching! I'm also feeling much better after this morning so now we wait.

I asked because I had a uterine polyp removed in April and it was super easy. About the same recovery as an egg retrieval for me. I cannot believe they told you 4-6 weeks? Did they mean days? Anyway, I suspect you'll be feeling back to normal very quickly
