Hi,
Just wanted to see if anyone else is looking at an IVF cycle in November. I'm looking at a retrival date around November 10th for my 3rd try.
Hoping to find some cycle buddies for support and to help us getb through the wait.

Sorry I haven't checked in for a bit, things have been a bit hectic! Gearing up for my FET...lining check tomorrow and right now I'm expecting my FET to be around 9/5. Wow, that's eight days away. This is my first FET, so I'm hoping to have better results then my fresh.
I hope everyone is doing well, seems like things are moving along :-)
Hoping frosties are the magic ticket for me. How is your cycle going?
Orriginal - Congrats on starting Lupron....Thanksgiving will be here before you know it!
Laurie I really hope the FET gives you a different result !
Aboveda so glad things are still ok with the headacks.
Orriginsl glad you get to start.
My first day of stims is Friday. Can't wait to see how it goes. At this point I think I can handle anything.
Ktk hope your cycle goes well too.
Lets get a record number of BFPs.
Day 2 of stims down! The whole needle thing is SO not as bad as I thought . Did my first dose of Menopur tonight and you'd think as a professional chef I'd have the whole mixing things together thing down but those 3 tiny vials kinda stresssed me out LOL.
Hoping everyone is feeling and doing great.
xoxo
Aboveda - I hope the stims are going well.
Roxy - Yay! Glad you were able to start your cycle :-)
Had a lining check yesterdady....I'm at 12.5 and a happy girl. I don't usually have lining issues, but this is my best showing. I took Vitex (1000 mg a day) and B6 (100mg a day) to help and I really think they made a difference. Both are over the counter meds/vitamins if anyone needs a lining boost.
My FET is officially scheduled for a week from today, Wednesday, November 6th. Yay!
Laurie - great news on lining and on scheduling your FET!!!! I really hope this is it for you!!!
KTK - yay for day 5! You should have your first u/s soon!
Roxy - I am SO glad we get to cycle together again. You help keep me sane and you are the only other person here that I know in my same sibling situation.
As for me on day 7 of stims - first u/s tomorrow and more bloodwork. E2 started off really low this cycle (8) and after 3 stims day only made it to 16, but last cycle it was similar and I did get a BFP (though I MCd) so I'm thinking slowly but surely. My progesterone looked great though - best so far. Even better than when I got Hannah, so I'm hopeful.
Original - Thanksgiving is great!!!! You will be right after me!
Laurie my lining is always crap. I'll be sure to look into the Vitex and B6. I'm already on 6 types of pills for it what's a couple more. Glad things look good and hope this will be your cycle.
Ktk was happy to see you results. Grow follies grow.
Chef, glad you are getting used to the needles. Before IF I wss terrified and now after all the tests and shots and beta, I think I could donate blood.
Aboveda, glad we are in this together. I thought you weren't going to compare results from your previous IVFs.
Orriginal, hope it's going well.
I just have one more day of estrace than I start stims. So excited.
Random question ladies....Has anyone been told they have a "triple stripe" lining? My lining is always pretty good....minimum 10-11 and this time its already 12.5, but my RE has never mentioned "triple stripe". I'm going to ask the next time I'm in there, but I would hope with a 12.5 lining its there... so confusing.
Roxy - I am trying; at least I'm not going back to past journals to really compare :)
Well had my first u/s today and I have 7 follies:
RO: 10.4, 8.3, 7.4, 6.2
LO: 9.4, 7.4, 8.1
Grow follies grow!
LO: 11.5, 9.3, 10.3, 4.8
It looks like 4-5 in the running, and the LO is leading the charge! (its usually the RO). Will get clearer picture on Monday's u/s with standard nurse. But looks on target for my usual results (my best ER was at 40 with 5 mature eggs - 43 now).
@Laurie I didn't hear triple stripe, I think he said triple layer but its supposed to be good and how they want it. My lining is at 10.94.
