Happy Belated Birthday! I can relate to this... I thought I'd be a mom in my early 30's, but that wasn't to be. Then when I started trying when I was 35 I really thought my genes would kick in - both of my grandmothers and my mother all had NO problem getting pregnant right away - and this would be a sure thing for me! SOOO wrong! Here I am at 38, a year into ART and 2 years into TTC. Though I may not be the 'factory' my grannies were, I am very positive it will happen... for all of us. Patience is truly a virtue!!!! Apparently, my transfer is not going to be as early as I thought - we're waiting for AF to come again. My 2nd hysterosonogram was clean!! I did start Lupron injections again two days ago. And I'm due to stop BCP early next week. I just got all of my meds yesterday (2 Valium, not one? I'm guessing the doc REALLY wants me to relax - LOL!)Fur: Thank you for your thoughts! It was rough, but when AF showed up, I was renewed... and excited to try again. HRMS - Great news!

Hello ladies! My Lupron AF is here! It's about time! I waited all weekend b/c my calendar said to expect it Friday- Monday and I had some spotting Wed and Thurs but nothing Friday or Saturday. I felt like it could come at any moment. But is is here now and it is just spotting and my coordinator says that is fine since I bled so much after the m/c. I find it to be very annoying, actually. Not heavy enough to wear anything but feels a little gross not to. I don't know... that is probably TMI. Sorry laides!
I go for a E2 blood draw tomorrow AM and begin my E2 IM injections tomorrow night. Yay and Boo! I am not looking forward to the shots but ready to begin the process. Hope all is well with everyone else! Have a great week!

Good Morning Ladies!!
Went to the RE for bloodwork and u/s this moring, both ovaries are quiet and my lining is nice and thin. They will call me later today to tell me what to start next, which should be the vaginal estrace. But here we go I would say in about 2 weeks will be the transfer.

Yeah we are all getting going here, so exciting!! Yesterday was 2 years from the day our little miracle was transferred into my belly and I started meds for #2, I think this is a sign. Even though I have been through this process before I am so nervous that it will not work. I am trying to be positive!!

Well just talked to the nurse, I am to lower my Lupron to 5 units and start vaginal estrace twice a day. And I go back for a check on Friday the 2nd.
The ball is rolling oh my goodness the nerves are starting to get rolling as well. I hope everyone has a great day/evening.

May I join you ladies?
Hi Girls,
I was hoping I could join your group. This will be my third fet, but first medicated one. I started my lupron today and will finish my BCPs on Wednesday. Does anyone know how long it will be until AF arrives? My RE's office has been kinda vague but I guess that varies per individual. Also, do you still get an HCG trigger shot with a medicated cycle? Or do they just monitor you? Thanks all. Looking forward to getting to know everyone.

 Malone! I started AF 4 days after my last BCP. I am sure everyone is different though depending on how long it had been since your last AF and everything. My RE had given me a range of 2-5 days after the last BCP to start AF. Also, I will be doing an HCG injection. I'm not sure if everyone does it or not. I am only going in for monitoring once before I go in for the FET. I wish it was more so I could see how things were going. How often do you all go? Donna- Yay for next steps! We should be pretty similar still. My Tx is scheduled for the 14th if all goes as planned. That is only two weeks from tomorrow! I am so excited to be PUPO but so anxious also. Martie- I think that is a great sign! I know what you mean about being nervous it won't work. I have strong feelings that it won't and then the other half of the time I really think it will be twins. I don't know! Soon enough we will find out AFM- I did my first Delestrogen IM injection and it wasn't too bad. It didn't hurt but I think it is giving me hot flashes or causing me to be flushed. I feel cold but my face is on fire and bright red! Oh, the joys of doing IF treatments!

Malone - good to see you back at it with me! I was on the August FET thread with you. I too want to know the answer to your question...although I'm going to see my doctor on Thursday so I guess I could just ask her. On my last cycle I did't take BCP, only Lupron injections and AF arrived around the time she normally would. This time I took BCP for a week and a half - my last pill was Sunday night so I'm waiting too!
Right now, I'm calm and focused on other things in life... and I'm hoping I can stay this way. During my other attempts I was so jittery and excited and every minute I was focused on whether or not I was pregnant... and part of me thinks that's why it didn't work. I'm hoping I can carry this calm with me for this cycle and not focus on it and maybe, just maybe, I'll be surprised. We'll see.  to all!

I went to the RE this morning
Everything went well. My lining is a nice 6.2 now WHOO HOO. My doctor asked me what day I would preffer for a transfer and I told him a Friday would work best. He said ok. He told me to up my estrace to 3 times a day and come back on Tuesday for a check and that the transfer would be the following Friday so it looks like next Friday I will be PUPO.

OMG I trigger on Sunday and my transfer is Thursday the 8th. Which is the same day 2 years ago that I had my first Beta, I am hoping that is another sign!! I am nervous and excited at the same time. I cannot believe this is happening so fast. My lining was 10.4 and I had two eggs over 14. I am so freaking out.
