There doesn't seem to be enough hours in the day lately and I haven't managed to keep up to date with BB. To catch up.... I had a BT & scan last Friday and endometrium was at 9mm. I also had a good size follie which they said was excellent and was predicting I would ovulate on Sunday. I had follow up BTs yesterday and today to confirm ovulation and a rising progesterone. Things are all on track and I am scheduled for FET on Friday.
Emerald - with your BT today. all your dreams come true.
SonjaLousie - I also saw the article on ACA. I don't think you have to stress to much about quads. I am pretty sure that lady did GIFT for the quads. GIFT isn't practiced a lot these days due to risks associated with high numbers of multiple births, plus IVF technology has improved in recent years. Fantastic news about your 5 frosties and all the best for your TWW. I hope you manage to remain nicely distracted.
Melttc - thanks for asking after me. FET is scheduled for Friday. Hopefully this one will be a keeper! 9 follies is a great start. All the best for your next scan tomorrow and your upcoming EPU.
Lise - DH and I had the opposite problem when we did our first ET... it was me who was scared to DTD. I am planning on being a bit more relaxed about things this time around. All the best for the remainder of your TWW.
Juniper - thanks for the link to the new Medicare caps. I calculated I will be an extra $1,200 OoP for a full stim. Will definitely be moving to another stim cycle if our little embie doesn't stick.
Meg - welcome from me also. BB does get addictive. It's great logging on and seeing where everyone is up to. GL with your treatment.
Jilly - I did 2 IUI's before moving to IVF. There is a part of me that wishes we hadn't wasted our time and moved straight to IVF, although I guess I would be feeling differently if it had worked. I had a friend that got pregnant via IUI and her husband had mobility issues. As I understand it IUI works best for couples with mobility issues but a high sperm count - the sperm don't have to swim as far and there is a greater chance of more little guys meeting the egg. If that is your only fertility issue it would seem reasonable to give it a go..... you never know it could be all you need to get you across the line. However, if you have other issues like endo or POCS - maybe IVF would be the way to go. GL with the decision, your FS should be able to shed more light on what might be best for you and DH.
Ailine, Tracy, MHIC and Coral - Wishing you all the best with your various stages of treatment. I am looking forward to some BFP action in this post.
I always set out to do a quick post and it ends up turning into an essay! Hello to anyone I have missed I hope your treatment or the waiting game is going well.
