Up Next

I called CCRM back yesterday to ask about scheduling and FET. My nurse told me to call them back on CD1. That should be next week sometime. I am pretty lost in my cycle right now, I know I ovulated but can't remember when that was. I think CD1 will be next Friday so that will be perfect, we have our re-group with Dr. G that day. I don't know anything about FET because I never thought I would get this far. I remember them talking to me about it when we were in CO but I told them we just want to take this one day at a time. Danielle (genetic counselor) even told me to schedule it when we were there in August. I did not do that of course. I have read over everyone's FET and I don't know whether I should do a medicated cycle or not. I guess that is something I will ask Dr. G next week. I am still over the moon that we have 2 normal embryos. With that new worries come up... the un-freeze, implantation and my work schedule. I am really busy during the fall/winter time in AZ. I work in recreation so it's the time of year we can actually enjoy the outdoors. I am going to start acupuncture again and listen to my positive audio books at work.

  2. Yay!!! It would be awesome if I could meet you there !! That would be so great! Now, if you want my 2 cents, I think you should do the medicated cycle, there's much more control with it and you would never wonder later on. I did the natural and even though I am convinced it had nothing to do with it not working, I will do a medicated one this time. Why take any risks?

  3. Amazing what a difference a few days can make - last week at this time you were in such a different head space and now you're planning your FET - amazing!!

  4. Their success rates are super with normal embryos so try not to worry too much. Can't wait to hear more about your FET.

  5. Hi - I am doing a medicated cycle because there is no risk that you will "ovulate through" the estrogen patches. Since I have to buy plane tickets, I just can't take that risk. The FET medicated cycle is looong because you are taking lupron for what seems like forever, but it is definitely not as stressful as the stim cycle. I chose to start lupron on day 21 of my cycle, but the lupron made me start late. If I were to do it over again, I think I might prefer having a period and then start the BCP's for 10 days before starting lupron. You only have 3 blood draws and only 1 ultrasound before the transfer, so that's nice. Good luck on deciding when to cycle!
