Had U/S and bloodwork done today...

[Levana]

a week after starting the estrofem. My lining is only 5.7 is which is a little disappointing to me but the nurse didn't seem too concerned. She did say that they are raising me from 3 pills to 4 a day -- hopefully that will do the trick. My estradiol was 1003 and progesterone was 3.3. The nurse didn't mention either so I guess they are okay. I have to go back for monitoring again in one week.

Were you supposed to be ready for trigger today? You are on a different protocol, so I'm not sure how that should work for you. Sorry you are disappointed...but hopefully everything else will go extremely smoothly!

[Levana]

No, I figured I would have a few more days before starting the progesterone but I just thought my lining would be thicker at this point. Hopefully it will look good next Wednesday. You must be getting close to starting as well!

I'm sorry that you were disappointed, but glad that things are progressing...even if it is slower than you would like. When are you tenatively scheduled for transfer? Keep making that lining thick and cushy!

I had to stay home today and wait for meds to show up. I start Lupron tomorrow for 2 weeks before the other fun starts. I'm just ready to go. Our testing showed interesting results, so I think we're even more ready than normal. 6 of our embryos were normal and one of those 6 was on the edge. One thing that I found interesting was that one of the embryos graded as an A was the one that they didn't think was as good as others...just interesting.

Good luck Levana and Patti, I'm thinking of you both!!
