Cycle 5, FET1, CD16

The last few months I have tried to distance myself from the upcoming FET cycle. Somehow I did not have the compulsion to read about it, to track it or even write about it. The obsession has gone and I am not sure if it is good or bad. Today I received some not so good news and hence wanted to write a post to keep track of things incase I have another cycle coming up.

I was on birth control pills for about 5 weeks.
Aug1 - Started Lupron 10units

Aug7 - CD1 - Lining  - 4.5mm
                       Estradiol - 18
                       Lupron - 5units
                       Vivelle patches - 2

Aug8 - CD2 - Lupron - 5units

Aug9 - CD3 - Lupron - 5units
                      Vivelle patches - 4

Aug10 - CD4 - Lupron - 5 units

Aug11 - CD5 - Lupron - 5units
                        Vivelle patches - 4

Aug12 - CD6 - Lupron - 5units

Aug13 - CD7 - Estradiol - 80
                         Lupron - 5units
                         Vivelle patches - 4

Aug14 - CD8 - Estradiol - 170
                         Lupron - 5units
                         Vivelle patches - 5 (added one new)

Aug15 - CD9 -  Lupron - 5units
                          Vivelle patches - 5

Aug16 - CD10 - Lupron - 5units

Aug17 - CD11 - Lining - 15mm
                           Estradiol - 210
                           Lupron - 5units
                           Vivelle patches - 5

Aug18 - CD12 - Lupron - 5units

Aug19 - CD13 - Vivelle patches - 5
                           HCG trigger shot

Aug20 - CD14

Aug21 - CD15 - Doxycycline
                           Medrol
                           Estradiol - 118
                           Endometrin
                           Vivelle patches - 5

Aug22 - CD16 - Doxycycline
                           Medrol
                           HCG booster shot

Transfer is scheduled for Aug24. We are still debating on transferring one or two embryo's. We have really good quality embryo's (3- 4 AA's and 1 - 3AA). We absolutely do not want twins as we both work full time and have another child and also no family around. But with the low estrogen value and too thick lining we are both leaning towards transferring two. Will have to make a decision by tommorrow evening.

Hi CG,

Been wondering how you were doing. Thanks for letting us know where you are at.

Are your embryos day 3s or blasts? My clinic tends to transfer two embies if they're day 3s, but only one blast for FETs because the pregnancy rates are so much better with blasts.

Good luck!
