Transfer is tomorrow!

My transfer for FET #3 is tomorrow! I am looking forward to being PUPO, but nervous and anxious to find out whether number 11 and 13 survive the thaw. This is the names of my embabies this time round. We are leaving 12 frozen for a very last go if we ever need it. Long story as to why we are using 11 and 13 and not 12, but essentially 12 is v good quality and will hopefully cope on his/her own for final thaw. I feel positive at the mo as we are trying so many new things this time e.g. Steriods and prontogest. It's giving us the best chance. I can also feel the prontogest PIO working as I had sore b00bs this morn. The injections in my ass are. It too bad, sore afterwards and bruise a lot, but anything for a baby, right?!?

Scan and intralipids

I had another scan today and my intralipids infusion. The scan was fine, my lining is thick and ready for transfer. This means I start my progesterone in oil injections tomorrow night(Saturday) and my transfer is scheduled for Thursday 10th may at 12 noon (ish!). I'm am pleased everything is going well, but nervous about the PIO injections. I have been taking 10mg prednisolone everyday for the last week and I'm feeling fine. I was expecting horrible side effects with the steriods, but so far all is great except I'm drinking more water and therefore peeing more. I am looking forward to being PUPO again, but not looking forward to being closer to the end of this journey if it does not work.

My lining has thinned!

My second baseline was fine today thankfully. My lining was less than 3mm and so I can start today! I am on 10mg prednisolone, progynova 3 times a day, aspirin, frolic acid, 0.3ml suprecur, intralipids and will be on Prontogest (progesterone in oil). I'm a bit nervous about the progesterone injections and not sure what side effects I will get with the steriods, but I am excited to start this FET#3

FET #3 about to start!

Hi all, sorry I have been MIA, not much been going on except work!

I have just had my telephone consult with my RE and he is happy for me to start my FET cycle! I stop the pill tomorrow, have baseline scan 24th april, next scan and intralipids on 4th May and then transfer 10th May. I will be on progynova 3 times a day, asprin, 10mg prednisolone, intralipids and suprecur. He also decided to put me on progesterone injections instead of cyclogest. Have any of you been on Prontogest? How painful is it honestly? Will I be able to do this injection myself? DH can not even watch me inject myself and so def will not do it! My RE said that I would be able to turn around and do it myself, I am not sure how brave I am!! I really want to be able to do it. We have 3 in the freezer and this is it for us. We will not do another fresh cycle. I have done 3 fresh cycles and this will be my third FET, 6th time lucky?!?! I really want to feel that I have done everything possible to get my baby. Any thoughts, advice etc are very welcome, especially on the progesterone injections!!

Love to all my followers, I really appreciate all the support. x

I am cycling thsi month!

I can not believe it is April already! I also can not believe we will be doing FET #3 this month!! I have beeing injecting myself dailing with 0.5ml of Suprecure for the last 42 days! Side effects have pretty much calmed down, except I feel tired all the time!

The last couple of months has just been work, crochet, injections and repeat. I have not had much keeping me going, I have not been functioning that well. I have just been going through the motions, forcing myself to get up every morning and go to work, forcing a smile on my face. Now however, I am pleased it is April, pleased that we ae going to be cycling again. I am not pleased though that we are another step closer to ending this process one way or another.
