cateyes I can understand wanting to hold off until you know you will have the benefits you want in place when baby comes, I also know it stinks. Hugs for you lady!

Hi all! I am hanging out on Estrace 4mg per day and estradiol patches. I have my lining check on Friday and then will start PIO and crinone on 7/10. 10 more days to go to FET. I am so so ready!

[eroticantibiotic]

dukegirlsc, 10 days is nothing! It's all ready almost 9, really. How many will you transfer?

My mood is so up and down, but my energy level remains down. Beta is a week from tomorrow because my clinic loves to torture hormonal ladies.

I'm 5dp5dt today and testing daily because it would be nice to know if I can achieve implantation at all. Waiting until 13dp5dt feels like it might mean we'll miss a chemical.

[dukegirlsc]

eroticantibiotic, we are planning to transfer 2. I'm sorry you are feeling so tired, progesterone does that to me too, it is rough!
13 days is way too long! My clinic does 10 and I know I will be losing my mind until then, but I'm pretty sure I'll be testing 7dp5dt. I have everything crossed for you!

[hero7]

Hey dukegirlsc, you are SO close, that is awesome.

eroticantibiotic, I am always amazed when women have willpower to wait to test...I will likely be testing daily too when it's my turn. Keep us posted!!!

I'm doing fine so far on the lupron, but it's only day 2. We just got home from 5 days out of town, and are leaving again on Monday for 4 days. All the travel is helping distract me from totally obsessing over this whole process. Monday is my first US & bloodwork to make sure everything is quiet/lupron is working. Luckily I was able to get the 1st appt of the day so I can still make my flight!

Have a great week ladies!!!

hero7 , have a great trip! Distractions make the time fly by. FX that Lupron continues to be easy peasy on your body.
dukegirlsc , do you get to select for gender?!

SPOILER: Click to show

I just peed on a stick and there is a SECOND PINK LINE!!!!
I have literally never seen one in person before, I kind of thought they only existed on the internet?!

We do get to select for gender. We will transfer 1 male and 1 female!

dukegirlsc, FX the next 9 days go by super quick!

eroticantibiotic, That's awesome--congratulations!

hero7, You were very wise to plan travel as a means of distraction. I am on summer break and it is driving me a bit crazy. The plus side is that today I am exhausted (started Lupron last Friday) and don't HAVE to do anything until I go to class at 5.

ASM-Mock transfer went smoothly. They let me know my bladder did not have to be quite as full for the actual transfer which was good news.

I took my last BCP last night and will continue on the Lurpon. No major side effects until today and I am just exhausted. Don't know if the Lupron is to blame, but it's the only reason I can think of. Hopefully AF will show up quickly and we can get the next phase started!

[lemonliz]

dukegirlsc, yay 9 more days! Bring it. So exiting.

eroticantibiotic, yay!!!!! That's amazing!

hero7, good luck with monitoring on Monday!

trytobearunner34, blame Lupron for everything ;) I did! It has so many s/e.

I don't have any updates as far as DEms go. I will talk to the RE again when I go in a few weeks.
