Janet left a message on my patient voicemail. My progesterone was .3 which is good and low (exactly what they want). They took multiple measurements of my endometrium (uterine lining) this morning, and are counting the higher of measurements at .7cm. This is better than .58cm, but still thinner than they want for an embryo transfer.
For now, they are adding to my medicine protocol. I will continue to take Estrace 2mg twice daily, but also begin taking the same medicine twice daily vaginally. My next appointment is scheduled for August 31 for another lining check. My endometrium should be nice and thick by this time. If all looks good next Friday, my Embryo Transfer will be scheduled for Thursday, September 6.
Thank you for all of the kind words. Today's been a rough day, but we're lucky to be surrounded by so many people who love us.
FET protocol
Hi. I am glad that it turned out better than you were thinking to begin with! I am glad there is still time to change the protocol! I am praying!
ReplyDeleteEverytime I read your updates it reminds me of me :) Our bodies seem to work in the same way somehow, although I do hope it works much better than mine in terms of getting pregnant! You are right, you still have time for that lining to keep growing, Sept, 6th sounds like a great day to me!
ReplyDeleteSo it's only a week or two longer... And in terms of a pregnancy, that's really negligible :) you might go into labor early and meet your baby (BABIES) at the same time you had originally planned! And as we say every night before Bugga goes to sleep: "God Bless Court Court and B!"
ReplyDeleteSounds like good news overall. (And praise God for the bonus check that He provided at the right time.)
ReplyDeleteI wouldn't worry about the lining yet. I had lining issues but with medication adjustments and a slight delay, everything worked out... Praying the same for you!
Hope all continues to go well! That day will be here before you know it!
ReplyDeletePrayers and good wishes for the rest of this cycle! Hoping that everything turns out beautifully!

Praying for you. My lining was just under .6 cm when we transferred our little miracle. God can do anything no matter how perfect or imperfect we are!
ReplyDeleteHow exciting for you! Wishing you much luck on your upcomingET- looks like it'll be here before you know it! My egg donor and I are currently syncing and we're hoping to ER on 9/22. Thinking lots of beautiful lining thoughts for you :)
