Excellent! Best of luck with your E/T on Sunday! How many are you going to transfer? Are you doing assisted hatching?

Hi Irena and Carrbear....

That's great to get the calendar! It'll be another month or so for me. Hope you post on the new IVF thread for April bunnies - it's only about me at the moment which is horribly boring!

I need to keep positive even when I am stressed and feeling nervous.

Good luck to all of you gals starting FET soon. I am happy to be on the boards with you!



hey carrbear, i send you a PM did you not get it? well i got my calender today and it looks that FET will be done around the 3rd/4th of june depending on the lining!!

Niki- Ok well that makes sense with the lining. Good luck with your transfer can't wait to hear the results!!!

Sunshinestate-I know what you mean about the support from your office. I think even if it's a great place they are just soooo busy (unfortunatley). My RE's office is located in Beverly Hills and is ranked 9th best clinic in the nation, but I have to keep on my nurse like white on rice or things will get messed up. I have used two other nurses their, and they were perfect!!! This one seems to be a bit dingy. I will deal with it cause I want to get all my blood work and u/s done in Santa Barbara instead of driving 2 hours for every little thing.

I go for my first b/w and u/s tomorrow. Not really sure what they are looking for. Just going cause the calendar says it's time.

I've read that you need a minimum of 6mm lining and also read that you need a minimum of 7mm lining and also read that you need a minimum of 8mm... I know that's not too terribly helpful, but at least it says that there's no consensus. You might want to put on the IVF board about the same question.

Oh, just found this -- 100 Questions & Answers about Infertility: Fun in the Sun...Dominion style which says that lining that thin can be an issue but isn't necessarily one (from an RE).

I did not use a trigger for my FET

Question Confusion

Well I had my b/w and u/s today. My nurse called to tell me my b/w was perfect, but my u/s wasn't matching up with what my blood was showing. According to my b/w my lining should be thin. Well it's not. It's still thick and on top of that they think they may see a polyp . They said it could be a blood clot that I havn't passed yet (sorry about the TMI). is still visiting me so I'm hoping my lining with thin out properly. I go in for a hysteroscopy (I think thats what you call it) tomorrow at 11:30. I hope it can shed some light on my situation. I don't want to delay too long. I was suppost to drop down on lupron, start estrace, and baby asprin tomorrow, but they just said to keep 20 units of lupron flowin. Anyway wish me luck this is all new to me

The hysteroscopy should give them a good view (pun intended ) into what's going on with your lining and that it's just a delay of a day. Hope that everything looks good!

Hi guys,
Wondering if I can join in? My first IVF was cancelled the day of ET for overstimulation (last Sat), so all my embryos are chillin' and started yesterday. I started Estrace today and am looking looking at an ET around 6/9. Sounds like that is pretty close to a couple of you...

Rana - All I have to say is that you must feel really good to be going to a doc that can make a 56 YO pregnant with twins! She's older than my mom!

Niki - Good luck on your ET tomorow, you'll do great and will be PUPO! Yay!

Ryan - I'm so sorry you're dealing with this setback. It can't be cool to see that clot/polyp on the u/s at this point. Keep your chin up!

Irena - So sorry to hear about your MC. You're a strong woman and will be soon. Best of luck!
