My meds were delivered! I won't be home until 5. They shipped yesterday around 9 am. They should be good until I get home, right? I think the cetrotide and lupron trigger need to go in the fridge. Follistim and menopur should be fine without.
My H did bring the box inside so the house is only about 70 degrees.......
I'm assuming they shipped with ice packs.
Tell me it will be ok.
IVF brings out my anxiety, obviously.
ETA: Maybe follistim does need to go in the fridge....
It will be ok! It does need to go in the fridge but my ice packs thawed with shipping in >100 deg heat and everything worked well.
They should be fine. They'll pack it with cold packs. The lupron and menopur are not refrigerated, but the follistim is. I can't remember with the cetrotide.
Thanks seeyalater52 and icedcoffee! I go in for my transfer at 10am. DH couldn't get out of work so doing it solo this time, but that's ok. I took the whole day off so I'm looking forward to spending the rest of the day reading and relaxing.
That Oprah gif made me legit lol. I hope that how it goes for everyone! seeyalater52, when is your beta? Are you going to test ahead of time?

I hope it goes just perfectly!
My beta is scheduled for 9/19. I am planning to test on Sunday at 6dp5dt. I'm so nervous.

Done! The RE and embryologist said both my lining and the embryo were perfect, so I’m cautiously hopeful. Beta is 9/26 but I’ll probably test at 5dp5dt (next Weds).

TW: other peoples' babies
My boss just let me know that our coworker is coming to the office with her newborn on Monday. It was nice of her to give me a heads up but now I'm both bitter that showing off babies at work is a thing (sorry if anyone here has done that) and annoyed that I have to come up with an excuse not to be there since there's no possible way that hormonal 7dpt me is going to be able to weather that without crying.
scm1011, your plan for testing is making me want to test tomorrow! Bad influence haha!
Bahaha, sorry! My only other BFP was at 5dpt, so I don’t think I’ll be able to hold out longer.. But I know that’s still early and I may set myself up for disappointment.
Ugh, I’m sorry seeyalater52. I’m glad you at least got a heads up.
In that vain, there was a woman with a young toddler in the waiting room of the RE this morning. OMG. Oh all my 8,000 visits I’ve never seen anyone bring a child, because, you know, it’s a terribly insensitive thing to do. WTF lady.

I hate that that’s a thing! At the NICU, I developed a strong dislike for a neonatologist who brought his own newborn in to visit. EFFFF YOUUUUU.
Love of my life baby boy born 11/11. One and done not by choice; 3 years of TTC yielded 4 MMC and 2 CPs, through 4 IUIs and 2 IVFs. Focusing on making the world a better place instead...and running.

So many good thoughts are coming your way!
To the NICU?! That is extra terrible, my goodness.

Eeesh. I brought my kid to work (I worked in the nursery at the time), but I was actually bringing him in for a visit with the LC. We avoided the NICU because hello, sick babies there!
Well, I have completed my transfer! Day 3 we had 5 and as of today we had 2 to transfer and the remaining 1, they are going to check if it can be frozen tomorrow, but not to expect anything. So we transferred 2. I am trying not to stress, but as we all know that’s near impossible! I am not supposed to test until September 28. We will see how long I can hold out! We are here until Saturday before beginning the trip home, so I am going to try just to relax the next few days.

Thanks to you both. I’m in a huge funk over it. I just feel so lost and unsure about what we are supposed to do next. Change something? Keep doing the same thing and hope the issue was just with the embryos? Do more expensive testing we can’t afford?
