Next is the Viagra and a pill for blood circulation that I can't remember the name of, that will start soon. If it doesn't work, I will push for something different for the next mock. Especially if they are only giving me two cycles before saying I have to use a GC. I'm going to ask about the Gonal-f. I think it's awesome that your lining responded so well with that. I had thick lining once in the last 2 years (at least that I know about from being monitored) and it was 9mm. That was in November, 2012. I've never known anything more frustrating that exactly what you said, having embryos but now where to put them. It was my greatest fear before we even started our DE cycle, it blows my mind that it's come true. Thank you so much for your encouraging words and I'm so grateful for your success story. xoxoSuzanne https://www.blogger.com/profile/17076109137436674891noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2737962049720052548.post-73547514521156888992014-02-24T18:04:32.045-05:002014-02-24T18:04:32.045-05:00Thin lining girl here again...I just wanted to apo...Thin lining girl here again...I just wanted to apologize for even speaking up with suggestions and solutions. Obviously you didn't ask for them and frankly I'm guilty of trying to 'help' people when help hasn't been asked for. But instead, I'd like to just reflect on your post and say how beautiful it was that you got to spend a day on the slopes enjoying your day in Colorado that didn't have a thing to do with CCRM. And I know you must be someone special to have so many great IF friends surprise you over the years with special and thoughtful gifts. You and your IF friends are so lucky to have each other. For as much as I think I can relate to your current situation I think the kinder and right thing to do is say that I'm thinking of you and am hoping that you'll have a level of success with things in the future.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2737962049720052548.post-64292609166710029582014-02-24T13:16:11.082-05:002014-02-24T13:16:11.082-05:00Adorable socks!

You are not allowing IF to determine your emotions. I know it's difficult when things don't seem to go the way you expect them to. But if things always went our way we wouldn't know the true value of things. It's difficult to see something uve been wanting be far from reach but u are closer than u think.

I am not exactly sure how it's used for that purpose, and I know Neupogen is used more by RI's, but it may be worth looking into. It's expensive, but I'd be happy to donate you some (if you do end up going that route), as I have a lot left over that insurance covered. <br /><br />I'm glad you got some good news even if it wasn't ALL good news, and I'll be praying that the bad news is resolved.

You were hoping your lining would be all nice and thick, and it wasn't. And I can see why that would feel like a punch in the gut. I'm really sorry it wasn't what you had hoped for. Like Conceptionally Challenged, I can't help but think that there is no way it could have been thick after bleeding the previous week, but I'm no RE. <br /><br />I'm really glad that your doctor was able to still do the HSC at the scheduled time, instead of waiting again. And so great that you two could enjoy a day of skiing. That pure joy of swishing down the slopes: there is nothing like it. Glad you could let your spirits be lifted by that experience. <br /><br />I keep you in my thoughts, dear woman, and continue to believe in the day your luck will change.

It's those forced moments of lifting yourself up by your bootstraps and saying "F U infertility, you will not steal all of our joy!" that will help you survive this journey.<br /><br />Side memo to your uterus: Listen up uterus of Suzanne! We know you have been uncooperative as of late and drumming to your own beat, regardless of what your friends, the ovaries are doing. While we understand your frustrations with all of the procedures and mixed signals, we have now given you the very best care and the very best chance to put your best uterine lining forward. It's high time you step up and show us what you're truly capable of during this mock cycle. She has set the stage now, so NO excuses! It's showtime!Emilyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07415140299306373048noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2737962049720052548.post-74892407436733814692014-02-22T12:36:01.757-05:002014-02-22T12:36:01.757-05:00Finally caught up....and all I can say is, ugh!

You have great frosties in the freezer without a home to place them in. You are patient and try and do the right thing in the right steps and it still slaps you in the face. In our case I told our RE that I was willing to do on last 'Hail Mary' FET cycle, but not the same protocol and a million pills (estrogen, Viagra, terbutaline, etc.) because they didn't work then and wouldn't work now. After our final attempt we were moving on to gestational carriers. We did a low dose of Gonal F stim and my lining was the best it ever had been at an 8.3 (from the 4 mm range). I know it's worked for other girls. I'm hoping perhaps if the usual meds don't work your RE is willing to think outside the box too. That Hail Mary cycle last September gave us our much needed success.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2737962049720052548.post-48106811563519837202014-02-21T10:55:03.360-05:002014-02-21T10:55:03.360-05:00Good for you!

And that you went skiing and had a wonderful time!<br />A few scattered thoughts: if you ovulated on CD9, maybe that is too short a time for really thick lining? And if you feel that your ovaries and uterus/lining are out of sync, have you considered something between Lupron and acupuncture to "reset" this? (Sorry, I've been reading too much about acupuncture lately... feel free to ignore).<br /><br />Thinking of you and sending many positive thoughts!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2737962049720052548.post-57956153408921636852014-02-20T23:52:53.909-05:002014-02-20T23:52:53.909-05:00Love the socks!

Everyone can tell me over and over again that day 3 embryos succeed all the time and that grading is subjective, but I still can't knock this feeling that our take home baby doesn't lie with those six embryos. And it sucks to feel that way! The good news is that your feelings (and mine) can easily be proven wrong! I'm sooo hoping that you're about to get a big old surprise in the form of an 8mm lining! <br /><br />So glad you got to spend some fun time in Colorado and the snow! We should all retire there, or at least go for a big, long, relaxing vacation. <br /><br />Much love and big hugs!Amandahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11657607481465480125noreply@blogger.com
