I had my blood drawn this morning, now I wait. I have been the crazy lady peeing on sticks daily and up until yesterday, the test line came up quicker and darker than the control line. Yesterday it came up a little quicker than the control, but not as dark. We'll see what happens.

[DrHooch]

westiemom, thanks for the check in!

mnj05, I am sorry for the stress, but I'm sure it's nothing. Everything crossed for you, can't wait to hear back about the blood test!

AFM, I am justing waiting to ovulate. Fun times.

[westiemom]

Thinking of you mnj05! Keep us posted!

DrHooch good luck this cycle!!

6-7dpo (FF and I disagree). Definitely not getting my hopes up. We go to Vegas in a week and a half so if my luteal phase actually straightens out, AF will be during Vegas. Since it's been super short the last 6 months, part of me thinks it will lengthen out this month because that's how life goes for me. 😂. We shall see!

[DrHooch]

westiemom, ugh, fingers crossed you won't have AF this month!

[mnj05]

Not good news. Beta went to 46 so I'm stopping all meds and waiting for that to come back down.

I'm so sorry mnj05

I had my first monitoring appointment this morning and I'll do my saline u/s next Monday. Assuming that goes well, I'll start my pill pack whenever I next get my period and go from there. I'm excited to get the FET underway but nervous too - we only have one embryo and I feel like it's our only hope for another baby.

[mnj05]

FX moto! Hope your saline u/s goes well!

[westiemom]

I'm sorry mnj05. Hugs girl.

[DrHooch]

Dammit, mnj05, I am so sorry to hear this.

FX for you, moto.

[crazycatlady6]

mnj05 - I'm so sorry.

I had the consult with the RE and have the initial ultrasound and blood work scheduled with a saline sono. If all looks good, we will do a FET in late October. I'm nervous but excited.

Yay!

My period is due to start Monday. Monday is also when I go back from maternity leave full time. (students don't start til Wednesday, but so not looking forward to dealing with a period that first week!)


Today a new friend (another March mom- we met in April), confided in me that she's accidentally knocked up already. Surprisingly, I'm not as upset as I expected I'd be with a pregnancy announcement/surprise pg announcement. Though I do hope I can get pregnant in next month or two so we can go through it together if they progress with the pg.

Not much going on here, waiting for follow up with RE after completing our pre-testing. After the follow up, we need to request a cost letter from the clinic to submit to my employer to see if I can take a loan from my retirement account for an IVF cycle. I figure the absolute earliest we could cycle would be late October/early November. In the meantime, I am trying to lose some weight because I have to lose at least ten pounds to get under the clinic's BMI limit. Ho hum ...

[DrHooch]

ugh, baymare, none of that sounds like fun. Sorry

[scrang]

mnj05, I'm so sorry, hugs

Had Cd 21 blood work done, progesterone good, lining at 11, and TSH at .7 - mock cycle is a go and last night was my first Lupron shot. It was so weird doing an injection again, I was sweating and started having Menopur flashbacks! So if everything stays on track and I don't ovulate thru the meds again, looking like an approximate first week of October transfer. Funny tidbit, I put in the transfer date to a due date predictor and it's the same date as my daughter's...crazy!
