CurlySu717 - how did I miss that you had an IUI yesterday? Sorry! Hope it went well!

DH and I sign consents on Friday. Our last ones expired. We also have our mandatory counseling session that day. Yipp.ee. The IVF nurse emailed me this afternoon to see if I had started my cycle yet - have to be on bcp's for awhile beforehand. Apparently if AF doesn't come soon I could miss out on an April transfer! WTF! So of course I'm stressing about that. I've never wanted AF to show up so bad in my life! I'm sure it will all work out but it sucks now knowing if AF is late it could push transfer out another month. I'm just not that patient!

Hey all,
I think DH is seriously considering ED in the Czech Republic. We've had 2 or 3 really good conversations about it lately. We're still doing IVF in June as a last chance but I think we're getting closer to having a back up plan which is making me feel better.

CurlySu717, FX for this IUI!
dream2be3, I hope AF comes soon so you can transfer next month!

[CurlySu717]

Thanks, dream2be3 and king26!! I was kinda quiet about it because I was so sure this cycle was going to be cancelled. I had one lonely follicle at my ultrasound on Friday (I was disappointed there weren't 2) so everything got scheduled on Friday for Monday.

king26, I can point you in the direction of 2 recent CZ grads who are on the boards if you're interested!!

[dream2be3]

king26, I hope your IVF cycle works but glad you have a potential backup plan! I kind of wish I would've looked into CZ if for no other reason then a great opportunity to travel.

CurlySu717, my fingers are crossed for you!

[dukegirlsc]

CurlySu717, FX for your IUI

king26, I've heard good things about CZ i.e.: the 2 grads, so it sounds like a great back up plan!

dream2be3, I hope AF shows up soon!!

AFM We are in paperwork land, due to work schedules DH and I can't get paperwork notarized until Thursday, not a big deal but every day without forward momentum drives me nuts. Plus our donor needs to have all the initial labs done, I'm anxious to see the results because if she doesn't "pass" it's back to the donor pool for us!

Thanks for the check-in CurlySu717 and everything crossed for your IUI! Are you going to be testing early or waiting for beta?

dream2be3, ugh, ugh, ugh. I hope your body plays nice and lets you have an April transfer.

king26, I love the idea of a CZ transfer for you but really hope you don't have to go that route!

dukegirlsc, I hope all of your donor's labs come back perfect.

AFM, I got the rough sketch of our plan - call the nurse on CD1 so they can schedule an endometrial biopsy on CD21 and order my meds. I would then go on lupron suppression after the biopsy and move into the transfer cycle. This is assuming I continue to have normal cycles . . . I figure the best way to cause me to no longer have normal cycles is for an IVF nurse to say "so, you ovulate on your own and have normal length cycles?" If for some bizarro reason my body goes renegade, then I would be looking at BCP after the biopsy before starting lupron.

Optimistically, if everything goes perfect, we would be looking at an April transfer. Possible hiccups:

My PCP officially diagnosed me with Raynaud's Syndrome today. The RE was already suspecting a circulation issue with me so not sure how this will play into what she had planned.

$$$ - Mr. Bug finds out if he gets a bonus tomorrow and I've got another 2 weeks until I find out if my student loan payment is going to go down, up, or stay the same. All this plays into if and when we can do our transfer.

[king26]

CurlySu717, I've actually spoken to both of them and their stories really helped my DH to actually think about it but thank you for offering!
dukegirlsc, I hope your donor passes all the screenings!
therealbug, I hope everything goes well!

[dream2be3]

dukegirlsc and therealbug, I hope things work out the way you want them to!

[CurlySu717]

therealbug, my RE wants me to wait *sixteen* days to do a HPT...um, yeah, no, that ain't happening...16 days would be the 23rd so I'm going to test the 20th, which is a day shy of 14 days. They wouldn't even schedule a beta; said I had to have a positive HPT first. I don't know why unless it's an insurance thing -- maybe insurance won't cover the beta without a positive HPT. But I don't have IF coverage so if it saves me money, fine.

Ugh. No way to 16 days!

I bet it's a doctor thing.I've seen other people post with their IUI they had to stay on progesterone until a beta was done regardless of what an HPT says.
