sally and lemondrop I hope both of your procedures go ahead as scheduled. The doctor who did my D&C is referring us to the local (2.5 hours away) fertility clinic, so we will have a consult and see what they would do differently from our current clinic. Being local after all the issues I have had might not be the worst thing, but their reputation isn’t good. Never hurts though to look into it. She said we might hear by January, so we will wait and see on that.

lemondrop Welcome! I’m so sorry you find yourself here. sally yay for getting it scheduled! Fingers crossed COVID doesn’t mess it up. Carmichael Sorry the local clinic doesn’t have great reviews but I hope you find the second opinion helpful. Let us know how it goes. Also it’s crazy that your closest clinic is 2.5 hours away!

Hi everyone. I'm in the middle of a FET cycle. I forgot how much injections suck.
We have a transfer date of 1/6.
Is anyone else doing lovenox injections? I don't remember it burning this much. Not fun.

Not fun. I did the lovenox injections each time. It didn’t burn, but I still have bruises and my last injections were at the beginning of October. Good luck with your FET!

Wanted to update. Transfer is still set for 1/6. My insurance changed their fertility coverage completely on 1/1. I knew it was going to happen but I was reaaaaally hoping for a transfer before the end of the year. It was originally set for 12/30 but of course my body didn't want to cooperate. Looks like we'll be paying oop for the transfer and meds refills. Ugh.

Carmichael lemondrop miawallace Thanks guys! Transfer went well. Now we wait.... I ordered some cheap tests but who knows when those will get delivered. First blood test is on 1/11 to make sure levels are ok and then the hcg test is on 1/15. It seems so far away. How is everyone doing??

I'm over here in shruggy guy land. Waiting for my HSG, which will hopefully be my next cycle. I should be getting my period today, and haven't yet, which is neat. Every other month I have a 30-31 day cycle, and then it's 29 days the even months, so I basically hate my body.

Do you guys use goodrx for prescriptions? I almost paid 1k for 3 things - lovenox, estrace, and endometrin. I looked them up on goodrx and all of it was under $200. crazy.

codex320 that is such a big difference! lemondrop I hope your period arrives soon. I had an ultrasound last week to check follicle count, but they also noted they were questioning if I had a uterine separation. My GP was excited that maybe that would explain my miscarriages and sent it to my OB, but I thought it was unlikely because I have had multiple HSGs in the past. My OB agreed, there was never anything seen previously. She said we could do another HsG but there isn’t really much point. So I asked about Letrozole while we are waiting to decided if we are going to IVF #3, and she said she would prescribe it in March if I wasn’t pregnant. So I go back in 2 months, likely not pregnant, to try that. We are still waiting to hear back to the closest fertility clinic as well, but so far there is no word. Today is a rough day for me emotionally. No hair pats needed, I apparently wasn’t prepared emotionally to talk about everything again.

Carmichael, as requested, no hairpats. BUT - I hope you have a better day today. Bad days are just part of the gig, aren't they?

I’m sorry codex320 I’m 5 days late, peeing on all the things, and everything is negative. So I don’t know what’s going on. I’m rarely late.

Carmichael I’m sorry for the rough day and that it took you by surprise, making it worse. I hate that. I hope the clinic contacts you soon. I also hope you don’t need the letrozole and the clinic contacting you is moot but I understand how unlikely that can feel.

AFM, I’m still here 🤷♀️. I took a break from this place for a while and I’m catching up. I had my surgery for my polyp removal last week and it went well, so that’s a relief. Our numbers are getting worse and hospitals are getting full so I was afraid it would get cancelled with other nonessential procedures but we sneaked it in. I think we should be able to do a transfer next cycle, which should start in 2 weeks or so.
I’m going to start a new thread because it isn’t fall anymore!
