Hi Ladies,
I had my u/s yesterday and everything looks good. Estrogen level is 588 and progesterone is .901. I started progesterone and vibramycin yesterday. Feeling good and enjoying the Florida sun. My anticipated transfer will be April 9, Thursday.

CHODORIS ANGEL...How did your transfer go?

mkaz09...How are you feeling? Are you feeling any cramps?

KCFCLF...Did the RE suggest ways to increase the lining other than suppositories? I remember taking Clomid and my lining was becomming thinner and thinner.

hopeful...How is everything going? Monday is around the corner. Sending you baby dust via computer.

krissymexico...I've been thinking about you girl. I called about the shiatsu and it runs about $80. What do you think? My transfer is on Thursday.

Hi there

Glad to see your numbers look good! I am ok...gonna cancel acupunture tomorrow...at 100 buck a pop it's a little pricey and since we have to pay for the transfer on Monday, I am trying to save a few $$'..Bought the grape juice and pinapple...got some good books and ready for my emby to start getting used to it's new home LOL

Good luck to all my fellow FETs on Monday! sending tons of to everyone!

I will post on Monday how everything goes!

Happy Saturday!

Hello All!

I had the craziest ultrasound yesterday! Just to recap, my RE didn't suppress my cycle. He called me on March 21st and asked if he had talked with me about a cycle this month and when I told him no he started me right on Delestrogen.

I went to my ultrasound yesterday and we decided to thaw two day 3 embryos for transfer on Friday. We checked my uterus, everything looked good and then wa-la he found a follicle in my ovary! Seems I created my very own follicle and it's of good size, it should release on its own in a few days and he tells me to try and fertilize it the old fashioned way this coming week!

I was flabergasted to say the least! I asked if this would impact my transfer and he said that the natural cycle and created cycle were in sync so we'd still transfer on Friday. In fact, the fact that I created a follicle meant I was creating even more estrogen natrually and that was not a bad thing.

I used donor eggs, so if I do get pregnant I won't know if I got pregnant due to the "old fashioned way" with my own egg or through FET of a donated egg.

He told me it was possible that my fertilized egg would implant and the donated embryo(s) could implant. So, I could have twins -- one from my egg and one from the donor; or triplets - one from my egg and two from the donor!

My head has been spinning, but I think I've come to the conclusion that if my own body created a follicle that either results in a pregnancy or helps with the FET then I am going to accept it as a gift.

Hello ladies!!!
It's now day 4 post retreival, and I am feeling pretty darn good. I went to the Medieval Fair here in Norman, OK and had a great time. I' m sure that it was partially because my RE called that morning to say that all nine embies are now 8 celled, and are in excellent condition!!! I know that a lot can happen in 24 hours. So I'm praying that they continue to grow. I'm a little bummed because my DH won't be there for the transfer. Unfortunately he can't take the time off tomorrow. But my great aunt will driving two hours from Tulsa to be here with me. ^_^ My DH also made me a good luck bracelet with the two names that we picked out for our little one(s). I'm trying not to get my hopes up too high, but it's really hard because I want to stay positive.
So here's to a sucessful transfer tomorrow,and to anyone else who is on their way!!!!

Wow, there is a lot of activity here! Good luck to all that have transfered already and to those that are waiting to transfer...

I have been MIA for the past couple of weeks. We had gone on a cruise to try and take some of the stress away from this cycle. I went in today for blood work and I will be going again on Thursday. If everything goes well, it looks like we're going to be transferring on Sunday 4/12. Most probably than not, we'll be transferring two embries. I am so scared though that this cycle will be twins. I am sooo scared of multiples! I am just praying that it'll work this time around, and we'll deal with whatever we get our way!

Anyway, I'll try to go back to read that posts in order to get up to date with everybody! Have a great day...

I just had my bloodwork and ultrasound this morning. My transfer has been put off due to lack of lining. It is only 6.5 and has not gotten thicker. We are going to continue with the drugs and suppositories and take another ultrasound and bloodwork on Thursday, then decide if we will continue or not. This is just becoming frustrating. I guess the acupuncture did not work too much - if I am still having issues with my lining.

Good luck to all that made the transfer this morning! I am thinking of you!!!

kcfcl...You're not out yet...super close. Did RE say anything you can do to increase lining? Are you taking baby aspirin?

krissymexico...How is everything going? I am going to PM you this evening.

NorthEastGirl...Going on a cruise was a great idea before FET. DH and I have the summers off, so currently I'm planning some mini vacations for the summer...Key West, South Carolina, etc.

chodori's and hopeful and mommy...How did the transfer go? I'm excited to hear. Currently, I'm doing yoga and driving DH crazy...just kidding with driving DH crazy. He's a good sport.

marthac...How is everything going?

praying...That is exciting news. Things happen for a reason...that is a good sign.
