How are they frozen? My 4 were frozen in sets of two so we just told them to thaw a set and put back how ever many thawed. Both did and both stuck!

I think they were frozen individually. The first 2 survived the thaw - YAY! - so we still have 2 more. I hope we have the same results as you! :-)

Hello everyone...
I am joining again for the second round of IF treatments. As you can see my first round ended in a little girl being born, so now we decided to go for the second... I am currently taking Lupron and will probably be transferring 2 embryos on April 6th. Both me and DH wanted to transfer one back, but our embryos are frozen in straws of twos... so we'll go with 2 or any the survive the thaw.... Hopefully, this will work for us. Good luck to all the ladies that are due for transfers or betas soon...

update
Had my U/S today, my follicle measured 22x23 and my lining was 8.3, but it did not have the "tri-layer" pattern they look for, so waiting to hear back from the doc on if we should go ahead or not....

Well, the nurse called back and said that my lining WAS tri-layered on Friday, but not today and that the doctor said sometimes the pattern changes closer to ovulation and that the fact that is was tri-layered on Friday was a good thing. I told them I did not want to go ahead with transfer if conditions were not ideal, but he said it would be just fine to go ahead, which would mean trigger today and FET next Monday, but for some reason I am getting cold feet. What would you guys do?

It's understandable that you're nervous! I think, though, that if you wait for perfect conditions, you'll never get there. I would go ahead but that's just me!

Hey ladies...
Nothing really to update you on. I am going for bloodwork this Thursday and hopefully I'll start estrace this Friday. Tentative transfer day is the 9th of April. We'll know for sure on the 6th of April after the lining u/s. to all the ladies....

Thanks for the input, we did decide to go ahead, I think part of my reservation is just that our fresh cycle in Dec. didn't work, so I am so afraid this may be our "last chance" with the IVF thing. I know the doctors know what they are doing, so just going to trust them. I start crinone gel tomorrow, go in for a stitch in my cervix on Friday and have ET on Monday 3/23 yay!
