Week of August 13

[seeyalater52]

What’s new, crew?

[seeyalater52]

If my period doesn’t come this week I’m going to lose it. I’m on CD31 of my rest cycle and my app is projecting it on Saturday. I have instructions from the RE to call and come in for blood work if I don’t get it by the 20th. I’m so ready to move on from this limbo.

I did order my FET meds and they’re supposed to come tomorrow.

[scm1011]

Ugh, I hope it comes soon seeyalater52. That's frustrating,

I started my lupron injections this morning. My FET is scheduled for a month from tomorrow, which still seems so far away.

[icedcoffee]

That's the worst seeyalater52. Right before my IVF cycle last time my periods got super long and I wanted to punch all the walls.

I'm thinking of asking my boss if I can skip a trip in October so I can cycle and not have to push IVF to November when it will be harder to hide it from my parents since they'll likely come visit. Have I officially lost my mind? LOL I have no idea what excuse I'll use.

[seeyalater52]

Thanks you guys. I think the most annoying part is I can't get a transfer date until I know when CD1 is. The waiting itself would be less annoying if I could count down to a specific date!

icedcoffee, I totally ditched out of an important work travel trip so I could move forward with FET in September and it was honestly the best thing I've done for myself. My boss knows I am doing a transfer and is on board but everyone else just gets the standard "having a medical procedure that precludes travel" excuse and it seems to be working out well so far.

[Jalapeñomel]

My stupid labs expire on the 19th. Had I had the original FET appointments, I would have to get hem again, but alas, I’ll giving away blood by the liter this week.

I start cycling on the 24th.

[icedcoffee]

I think I am going to ditch the trip. I have 2 staff I can send instead and quite frankly they're more qualified than I am anyway. LOL. I'm bummed because I've never been to Vegas, but there will be other opportunities. I just need to figure out what I'll say to my boss. I'm thinking of just being super vague. Blah.

[megstoo]

I'm still waiting on the nurse to let me know when to come in for another ultrasound and blood work. I had the cyst aspirated last monday (the 6th) and was told they needed the pathology results before going forward. Those came in on Thursday afternoon and I emailed her saying I got a copy do you need it and when to come in. It's been silence since. This is unlike her and I don't want to keep pestering her.

I have a blood test appointment on Wednesday. I haven't been feeling great- I have a low grade fever off an on, which I've read could be a good sign, but the only sign I'm willing to believe in is a positive test, and then more positives. I'm definitely not sick.
I tested with a $ store test on Saturday (10dpiui, 12dp trigger - which should have been out by that point). Couldn't tell if I was imagining the very faint 2nd line or what. I didn't tell DH I tested, and wont test again until I get the blood test.
This is the first time taking medications, so I know I feel differently, and I think that plays so much into thinking I could be pregnant when it could also be in my head/ just the medication. I'm currently taking 1 gram of progesterone cream at night so I'm guessing that's where the hot flashes are coming from.

Hope you get the results soon megstoo, I'd agree also with going with the super vague doctors test or whatever to get out of the work trip.

I’ve had to do this twice this year, and each time I said that there were medical needs that would prevent me from being away. Boss had no concerns, although I was sad to miss the conferences.

i am 7dpIUI. So I am just waiting for next week. Already looking at next month to see how we can cycle bc of our vacation.

I went and visited my sister in Tulsa over the weekend ALONE. It was a lot of fun and got some quality time in. She just moved there for her residency program.

[FishChicks]

seeyalater52 FX that CD1 comes soon. It’s so frustrating when you want it to arrive and it won’t cooperate.

Jalapeñomel This isn’t the infectious disease labs is it? It makes me livid every six months when my DH has to repeat those, given that he literally never steps foot in the office. Having to do them myself is nearly as aggravating. Sorry you’re going to have another draw.

[compassrose]

seeyalater52, I hope you start ASAP!

Jalapeñomel, that sucks. I’m so sorry stupid disorganized office.

I have perfect the left handed PIO shot! My transfer is Weds at 11

[megstoo]

So my nurse called me yesterday and had me come in today for ultrasound. Cyst is completely gone so the aspiration worked (yay!). I also had 10 follicles today but the tech wouldn't tell me if that was a good number or not. Tonight we can finally start letrazole and get this IUI going.

Good luck with transfer today compassrose!

And fingers crossed for that blood test barney96.

Thank you! I woke up feeling good! Transfer is at 11:30.

[FishChicks]

Good luck compassrose!

megstoo So glad that cyst is gone! I have DOR, so my perspective is skewed, but 10 follicles for an IUI cycle seems like a great starting place. Good luck!

[scm1011]

good luck, compassrose!!

Back at you! At least they should be able to see the sac location very early to rule out ectopic

[seeyalater52]

I know we haven't been super consistent about it lately, but I'm wondering if there is still consensus from the group that we could try to keep the weekly threads free of BFP/beta results, etc.?

I'm finding this thread a little tough today. I want all our members navigating the very early stages of pregnancy to feel welcome here but it has seemed to work out better to have those things in separate threads just so people in active treatment aren't caught off guard.

I deleted. I apologize, didn't mean to make anyone feel bad. 

No, it's ok! It's not a hard and fast rule, I think just a board convention. We will all follow along in your BFP thread if you're willing to post your results and any updates there. I'm not feeling very emotionally strong this morning and I hope I didn't hurt your feelings or diminish your excitement. <3

I swear the cycles where you have to wait for something (CD1, ovulation, etc) always end up being wonky and taking longer than normal.

I’ve been waiting for my LH surge so they can time when I start taking Estrace. Usually it’s CD 16 or 17. I finally got it this morning, CD 24. Come on body!

Hope your wait goes by quickly!

I’m so sorry. It’s so incredibly hard every time.

I'm so sorry barney96.

I’m so sorry barney96

Had my sonohysterogram yesterday. Had a pretty large polyp. They’ll want to remove it, so that’ll likely be in early Sept. So FET pushed back to October at earliest. Not the best news, but not the worst. I’m surprisingly not upset.
