MrsReady2bMama- It is still raining in Georgia! I can't believe it. Yes, I never been so focused on looking for that AF. Thanks for keeping up with everyone's schedule.
Wannabemommy- You mentioned progesterone oil shot. This is part of my protocol for the FET. Also, I did it during my first IVF. It's not too bad. DH took his time giving me the shot because it's a little thick.
zmomma- Congratulations with your US and E2 level. What is estrogen priming? I never heard of this.
RubysMom- Welcome to the group. Hope your next cycle will be successful.

Good to luck eveyone in your protocols and upcoming FET. I'm sending lots baby vibes and dust.

Here's mine:
Lupron injection ( will decrease tomorrow)
Estrace Oral Tabs
Prenatals ( I have been on for two months)
Asprin ( I'll start taking tomorrow)
Estrace (I start tomorrow)
Progesterone Oil injections
Medrol
Doxcycline
My Sono is scheduled June 5th, to check my lining

estrogen priming

well it's the name of calendar and protocol i guess,
"no lupron-frozen embryo transfer calendar- estrogen priming". and i am assuming this because it's on the calendar as the title remeber i had no bcp's or lupron.

z_momma & midum -wow..we have 2 tranfers coming up next week. how exciting, june month officially begins on the thread.

Leigh - so exciting to have ur transfer date and protocol. I will also be doing delestrogen, which is also oil. I guess I will be okay after one shot.

MsSquishy - Its strange how we wait for AF to come and its only late when we want to move on to something. I am always 28 days cycle girl But just before I wanted to start on FET, my AF was about 10 days late.

Rubysmom - sorry to hear about ur BFN. I had failed fresh cycle in march, MY RE wanted to have one natural cycle before I start FET. and Then one with BCP so around 2 month gap.

MsFitzy - I am so glade to hear that ur meeting with RE went well and doing all tests before you proceed.

Good Luck and baby dust to All.

Hello Ladies,

So my shots have start (tonight will be shot 4 of 28) I can tell they are in my system already, I was a really mean person yesterday at work, I feel bad for the poor poeple i work with. But they understand for a part of this.

I have a question, I out an email in to my doctor but wondering if any of you may know the answer, is there any restirctions while taking the lupron shots? See I am a vol. firefighter, and love to ride horses, and not sure if I can do any of it at this time. I know at the transfer Im done with everything (which I am ok with) Just wondering,

Looks like my transfer will be June 24th or 26th. Hope everyone is having a good cycle. Talked to the hubby we decided we are going to put 2 back, I would love for both to take, but really will be happy if just one takes, and stays with us! Take care all.. best of luck!!

LVF - I would say you are ok while on Lupron. It's basically just to suppress the ovaries even more than BC does. But definately not once you have ET.

And I would so totally be a volunteer firefighter if I was allowed to ride horses. I've never seen a firefighter on a horse!

AFM - I had the vampire suck out 8 vials of blood this morning. It wasn't too bad. They gave me my prescriptions for bc and doxy. I needed them because I'm going to be on vacation when AF is due. So onward and upward we go!!

MrsReady2bMama: My periods are extremely irregular and sometimes anovulatory. I gave up trying to chart. I tried using the ovulation sticks but that was frustrating too. So now I'm just waiting......

wannabemama: Yeah, it sucks waiting for AF. I keep thinking I'm feeling the PMS cramps or munchies that I get but nothing. I'm just trying to relax and prepare myself for round 2.

Looking forward to hearing about everyone's success!

Moving right along

Hey ladies,
Just wanted to check in. Started my Estrace, taking 1mg twice a day. It makes me dizzy a bit and sometimes fluffy.

Looking forward to this transfer. I didnt do Lupron this time so my transfer should be sometime in about 10-12 days. Dont know the date yet. I will visit Dracula and get next ultrasound on Monday.

In answer to your question, Lupron just suppresses you, so you do basically anything while taking it.

Stay well everyone...looking forward to our BFPs in June.
Lynn

Hi everybody! And baby dust to all!!

Mind if I join in? I had a biochemical from my first IVF in February and I'm moving forward with transfer of my three frosties on 6/22.

I just took my last BCP last night, thank goodness. They make me SO sick for the entire time I take them. It's just not right. I've also been on Lupron shots for about a week. I have my baseline U/S on 6/3 and then start Estrace. Worried about what side effects to expect there. Later, I go back on PIO shots, too.

I'm doing acupuncture twice a week and taking a number of vitamin/mineral supplements.

As for the question about increasing blood flow to the uterus, I can only say what I've heard. Acupuncture, baby aspirin, and light excercise are the most common recommendations. They don't want you to excerise exhaustively because I guess regular excerise pushes blood flow to the muscles and extremities, rather than to your uterus. So excercise just enough to get the circulation going.

Good luck everybody!!

I see the first transfer is coming up on 6/2 !

Julianne and Solange!

I'm also doing acupuncture twice per week. Are you planning to do acupuncture on the day of transfer? My acupuncturist wants me to come in both right before and after right transfer, but I'm not sure it's worth the trouble of going in twice that day??

I had my u/s today and we are set for transfer on 6/5. My bloodwork also came back negative for NK cells and antithyroid antibodies. We are planning to transfer 3 blasts

Good luck everyone and baby dust to all of us!!

Julianne that is a good tip on the light exercise. I'll have to figure in daily walks starting a day or two after transfer.

I'm not planning on acupuncture but I've heard wonderful things about it! I'll be interested to hear how you ladies make out with it.

Midum I'm glad everything went well today!! Only a week 'til your transfer - you are so brave to transfer 3 blasts!!!

wanna :lol I don't mind keeping the list. If I'm slacking for a bit though feel free to take it back anytime!!

Happy weekend all!
