Stillwaiting- I'm happiy you have a POA now and can move on with a fresh ivf cycle.... KUP on your timeline so we can cheer you along!

I am still waiting for my beta to drop... b/w today was still 8- this is so agonizing to me.....I am trying to just go with the flow cuz there is nothing I can do to make it go faster.

I am wishing us all successful pregnancies soon!

Hi Sept FET ladies! Can I join you? I don't know for sure if my FET will be in Sept or Oct. I go to my RE tomorrow for a check on the 'ol uterus (SIS I think).
I have 8 embies frozen from donor eggs which resulted in my now 9 mo old, dear Clara.
I wish you all the best!
Kay

Godiva – I hope your wait is over soon and you can move forward. Waiting is sooo hard (and it’s worse, like you said, when there’s nothing you can do about it) I that we all get good news this year!

Kay – 8 embabies!! That’s great!

Godiva -I am starting to feel like myself which is great, but it makes waiting until September all that much harder. I feel like I am ready to get started even though I know I am not. I should know more about my dates beginning of August.

Kay - Clara is adorable! I will be having an SIS in August. I can't wait to get started with this next cycle. Hoping our group has lots of BFPs.

Thanks for the welcome ladies. I am getting more and more excited about this now. I have to admit I have more anxiety about the FET than the donor egg fresh transfer. I would probably have waited more time in between babies if I wasn't sooooooo old .


What if anything are any of you doing right now to prepare for your upcoming FET?
Kay

Kay -I am trying to change my eating habits right now to eat a little more healthy and maybe drop a few pounds. I would like to do acupuncture as well, but really only have enough money to go a few times so I'm not sure if it would even be worth it.

I am attempting to exercise more, and try to get my house organized so I don't feel stressed so much with so much to always do.... I think acupuncture would be nice, but doubt I will try it due to time and costs.

I got PG last time w/out it, so I am figuring the same will happen this time! If only I could be "Bewitched" for a few days, everything would be done likety split!

I too am trying to lose a couple of lbs. I would love to get rid of 10 before the FET, but this is probably not realistic. I would be happy with 6 to 8. I am 5 lbs away from my healthy BMI.
I won't be doing acupuncture either, but I do plan on getting massages once to twice a month.

Went to the RE today and had a SIS done. RE said my uterus looks great and I had the prelim blood work done... if that all comes back normal then I have the green light to go for the FET. I should find out on Monday what my schedule is. I really do need to wean Clara though by the end of the month. I didn't anticipate it would be hard for me to do this.

Any appts coming up for you gals next week?
What are your feelings about your upcoming FET? I am more nervous about this one than any previous attempts.
Kay

Kay, Was the SIS painful? I think I had one in the past, but it's been so long. I need to have one beginning of next month. I don't have any appts until August so July is just another month of waiting for me.

This FET cycle I am very nervous as well. Since this is my first cycle since surgery I am on pins and needles. I'm also nervous because DH and I aren't getting any younger so if this cycle doesn't produce the results we want then we will look into adoption. We still have a lot of totsicles left though and want to use them.

How about everyone else? If anyone has any dates or anything let me know and I will add it to the calendar. I imagine this thread will get really busy within the next few weeks.

Hopefully this works....

it's a calendar that everyone updates themselves of doctor appts, meds, important tests, different stages we're all in... it's an easy way to keep track of everyone (if I did it right )

Hi Tonya. The SIS wasn't painful, just a little uncomfortable. You will feel a bit of pressure. It is very much like a vag u/s.
I too am in the waiting right now. I want to get on with things but I am not looking forward to the injections.
Tonya don't get too worried about your age... you are a young one in my book . I am telling you having a baby at this point in my life has been the best thing I have ever done! Really, it isn't all that uncommon anymore. Adoption is a wonderful option as well (I have 3 adopted blessings!). No matter what it is a process... just keep fighting for your dreams even through the frustrations!
Kay
