Waiting on IF, and now Waiting on DS!? (plus FET news)
Ugh, WTF is going on with DS!? It's soooo slow the last few days. Guess DS decided since us IFers are all used to waiting and things to move slowly, it would just add more annoyance to our already annoying IF lives. Thanks, DS. I had my monitoring appt yesterday, bloodwork came back good and my lining is already measuring 6.5 (I'm told you need at least 7 to do a transfer) so I think that is good news. My other numbers are: E2 77, FSH 6, LH 5, P4 0.3. I really have no clue what these numbers mean and how they affect the transfer, but the RE said so far, I do not need to take any estrogen or progesterone supplements so I'm happy about that. I met with my liver doctor on Tuesday and he said if I do have to take supplements, I should opt for vaginal suppositories since that would be best for my liver (oral would have to be metabolized by the liver which is risky for someone like me who has estrogen sensitivity and a history of tumors developing from estrogen). I go back on Sunday, which will be day 14 so it looks like the FET will be sometime mid-week next week. Getting nervous and excited, but mostly nervous. Sadly, I'm trying to prepare myself to have low expectations because I'm terrified of it not working or a m/c and we only have 3 FETs covered by insurance, not to mention the fact that because of my age I'm running out of time here.
Hope you are all doing well no matter where you are in your cycles. Seems there has been a lot of good news on DS lately, let's hope the trend continues! Sending tons of baby dust for however and whatever way you are blessed with a child. Also, hoping you made it to the end of this journal (or even the beginning!) without DS crapping out or taking forever to load this page!!! xoxoxo

How exciting, next week you\'ll be PUPO! Fantastic. It\'s normal to be nervous. I\'ll be crossing my fingers for you and hoping you won\'t need any meds.
Excited for you! Yes, it seems whenever I try to log in to see how people are doing, it takes forever! Sorry to have been away. Your numbers sound really positive and I\'m keeping my fingers crossed that you can, at most, just do suppositories (or not need them at all), and that you get a perfect take on the first try! Best of luck!
Yay for your levels being good and not having to supliment yet! But glad to hear suppositories and your liver will get along! I will be sending you lots of good vibes for this transfer!
Yay! So glad to hear the good news! Keeping my fingers crossed for you!
Great news! I will be keeping my fingers crossed that you continue to have good numbers. Good luck with your transfer!!!
So glad things are moving along and the time is here for transfer!! LOL about DS making us wait around just like the rest of our IF lives. I hope things go smoothly for you. I feel like I have been waiting for you to have your transfer forever and I am super excited for you!!
