Hi guys, sorry again I didn't post this yesterday. We are prepping for Hurricane Irma that could potentially hit FL.
My endometrial biopsy is scheduled for Thursday. I plan on calling my RE tomorrow to see what the plan is if this hurricane hits FL. I'm obviously not going to travel 1.5 hours to my RE if we are projected to get a direct hit by this massive storm. And I damn sure don't want to have my biopsy if I'll have to repeat it next month. Nerp!
Just waiting and will hopefully know more by tomorrow afternoon.

babyhopes I'm so sorry you guys have the hurricane to worry about and that the timing is SO crappy. Fx your RE has a good plan for you! Reposting here from the previous check in..... Good thing I demanded extra monitoring this cycle. They didn't want to do it even though last cycle was cancelled but I pushed it. I freaking ovulated through Estrace. Another cancelled cycle. My nurse is waiting for my RE to get back to her to either wait for a period or start Lupron for two weeks. I honestly can't remember why I would start Lupron. I am so pissed right now.

Solidarity, babyhopes! Hang tight. I hope that Irma passes by. We might get some of her wrath over here, too. At the very least I hope you can still get your biopsy done! Planning for that and getting the date exactly right was such a pita. I have no news on this end. I could probably be taken off the roster since we have no idea when we'll get to transfer let alone if we'll ever get to do another banking cycle. Sending good thoughts to everyone who's prepping!

babyhopes I'm sorry about the Irma and the appointment. As if there is not enough about IF that is out of our control. Ugh. Stay safe birch113 sorry about the cancelled cycle. So unbelievably disappointing and frustrating about your doctors. I hope you can get on another cycle soon I am not gonna wait for betas but I am debating about when to test. Ugh I was calm up until today. Now it's all I can think about. I feel a little different this cycle than previous but it could be the PIO so I am trying not to get my hopes up too high. I wI'll try to wait to 12 DPO but my willpower is shit.

babyhopes, I'm praying Irma does a reroute ASAP and that your RE appt doesn't have to be rescheduled! birch113, I'm so sorry about you cancelled cycle. At least you won't have to explain why you need extra monitoring again. This is my fear for a FET as well. jense927 praying it works out for you this month! Stay strong! AFM, I do not like FET meds as much as stims. I detest the headaches after my estrogen IM injection, and Lupron makes me feel bloated, and I have gained five pounds! I can't wait to get this show on the road!

babyhopes, stay safe with Irma! Ugh to it possibly forcing you to reschedule with the RE. birch113, boo on having to cancel - I'm really glad you pushed for the extra monitoring though, and maybe next time they won't have an attitude about it lemonliz, stay safe if Irma makes it to your neck of the woods! jense927, FX so so hard for you!! When are your betas scheduled? hoosiermama76, sorry the FET prep is wreaking havoc on you - hope you can get moving on the transfer soon! AFM, the RE now thinks he'll have me start on Lupron around the 17th-20th (he's still working out the schedule for when he's starting all the patients cycling this round). So looks like retrieval will be the first or second week of October. Eeps! QOTW: DH and I met at a fundraiser gala on a Saturday night, and he asked me to go to dinner with him on Monday night - turned out that was his birthday, so our first date was dinner and then we went to his favorite dessert place for some birthday pie.

lemonliz I'm sorry you're in limbo right now. jense927 waiting is absolute torture. When is 12DPO for you? daisy818 yay! October will be here before you know it! My nurse finally called (was supposed to call yesterday afternoon). I start Luteal Lupron tonight.

@hoosiermama I always feel way better on stims than FET meds, too. Ugh.

babyhopes, stay safe! Hopefully Irma won't mess up your biopsy and everything will go as planned. birch113, I'm so sorry you're cancelled. It's a good thing you pushed for that extra monitoring! lemonliz, I hope you're able to figure out a good plan forward. And stay safe! jense927, sending you good thoughts for this cycle! FX! hoosiermama76, sorry to hear FET meds are rough. I hope you get to transfer soon! daisy818, yay! It's exciting to finally have that date! I'm on day 2 of estrace, day 1 of cetrotide. So far I'm feeling just fine, though yesterday was rough just from getting back into the swing of things after a long weekend away. And random shit kept happening too, like the trim randomly fell off our family room blinds yesterday morning. QOTW: Our first date is actually debatable. We met our freshman year of college and became friends. He had to go to this dance performance for a class, and invited the whole group to go with him. I was the only one who did. I had a crush on him at that point, and we started officially dating a few days after the performance. So was that a date? Sorta kinda?

babyhopes, I hope Irma doesn't cause any issues for you. IF is stressful enough without adding a hurricane to the mix. birch113, Boo for a cancelled cycle. I'm glad you pushed for monitoring though. jense927, FX for Monday for you! hoosiermama76, hope you feel better. Is your FET soon? daisy818, Only a few weeks! September will be gone before you know it. bonzo, glad meds are okay but hope your house keeps itself in one piece! Still just waiting anxiously for Friday. Between that and DH being gone for training for three weeks, I'm ready for a break. QOTW: Our first date was to dinner and a movie. It was right before I started college and I didn't know if I really wanted to date anyone at that time. My sister convinced me to go, saying that it wasn't like I was going to marry the guy or anything... About 5 years later, we got married.

My FET is scheduled for 9/22, which seems late to me. If we are transferring a 5 day embryo, is it formal to have a FET 23 days after you go off BCP?

bonzo ugh! I hate random things like that! They always seem to happen in clusters, too. bananas22 sending you all the good vibes for Friday! hoosiermama76 that seems normal to me. My FETs have all been schedule for almost 4 weeks from my last BCP.

Oy, just met with my (male) supervisor to explain that I'll be doing IVF and will be taking random unpredictable leave over the next month. So deeply awkward.

He was very nice about it and basically just said to keep him posted on whatever I need. He was also glad to hear that I have told enough attorneys in the office to cover anything that might come up - keeping it a secret would have been challenging.

Also, change of plans - RE called tonight and I'm starting Lupron on Monday(!) Stims starting 9/21. Cue mild panic.

Well today is 12dpo (7dp5dt). I caved yesterday and BFN. This morning I took a cheapie wondfo and there might be a very very faint line there. Not enough that I can get a pic. It also had a weird little spot where the test had a bubble / raised a little. I am not getting my hopes up. I bought a frer though and will probably test again tonight. Ugh I just want this to work :/

jense927, I hope it's a real line! FX! I had my follow up hysteroscopy and by some miracle, it was all clear so we can do a transfer in October! My nurse is supposed to call me on Monday with specifics!
