This will be an informal check in, since I won't get a chance to hop on the computer today and tag everyone properly. But I wanted to get something up!
How is everyone doing? Update us!

Thanks for the check in bonzo! I forget who it was that said FETs are boring, but they totally are. Still plugging away on Estrace and Baby Aspirin. My clinic used to do BW mid-cycle but did away with it since they increase your Estrace at that time anyway. It was nice to have that check in, just to have a little confirmation that things are moving in the right direction, though, and I'm feeling a little lost without it. Other than that, in still doing my Circle + Bloom guided meditations. I am looking at complimentary treatments, too. I did laser acupuncture last time. I'm hesitant to spend the cash since the transfer failed, but the data is good, so I'll probably go for it again. |

Just got word that my insurance approval went through for this upcoming FET cycle. Wednesday will be 2 weeks on birth control and I will stop taking. Just curious...how long after taking your last BCP do you typically get your period?

I just got the word that they froze 3. I had one, so we have four. I hoped for six, but I'll take it.

Just curious...how long after taking your last BCP do you typically get your period? Usually 36 hours, almost on the dot. This last cycle was 4 days, but I had some lining issues. |

AFM, news is not great.
Beta is 34, they want above 100 and think this is a non viable pregnancy. Repeat beta is Monday.
All the TW
This is less than a quarter of my beta with my daughter and even significantly lower than my beta at the same time with my miscarriage so things don't look good.

nikiswims, I'm so sorry! Keep hope! I had a 25. Now my situation ended in a loss, but when I got that 25, it did go to 60 in two days, and my RE said he sees viable pregnancies start that low. Maybe it is a slow implanter.

Ladies, how bad is Lupron? Anyone do injectable estrogen?

Yesterday I got the official word that 2 of my classes were cancelled, so I contacted my nurse to get IVF #2 started sooner! I'm pretty sure I O'd yesterday, and they want to do an O-start for the estrace priming, so it would be about a month from now that I'd get to start priming. Yay!

hoosiermama76, I had Lupron as part of my trigger last time, and I didn't think it was too bad. No idea how it changes if you're doing it every day though! I hope it isn't too bad for you!

Ladies, how bad is Lupron? Anyone do injectable estrogen? My only experience with Lupron so far has been MDLF. +1 for super easy to inject. I don't think I felt any worse on it than I did with an antagonist protocol. |

Just curious...how long after taking your last BCP do you typically get your period? Yay for insurance approval! I usually start about 36-48 hours after my last pill. |

bonzo, Yay for getting to start early! Did you decide on a protocol? birch113, glad it's going well. hoosiermama76, congrats on your 4 frosties! I don't have any advice on Lupron other than using it for my trigger. I'm pretty sure I'll be using for my FET also, though. nikiswims, I'm sorry it was low. I hope you have a good outcome.

Sorry I've been a little absent lately. I think I've been home about 1 day in the last two weeks. Trying to enjoy every bit of summer before I go back to work next Thursday 🙁
I'm still on estrogen for about 3 more weeks. But, I did get confirmation that I'll start FET prep (aka birth control pills) once I'm done with estrogen which should put us for an early October transfer, hopefully.
