A stressful week

[DC13]

I have started, stopped and deleted this message many times this week.

All I can say it has been a stressful week. I was supposed to be doing my FET next week but it has been postponed. I have never had a cancellation in all the 6 rounds with my own embryos , 1 fresh donor cycle (where we got pregnant but miscarried) and 2 donor FET.

So with the god dam weather last week where we were snowed in for days and not been able to make a scan appointment (stress 1)

To when I did get a scan to find out my lining was thin (stress 2).

To having to try and get some meds very very quickly and bend lots of arms to try and make that happen (stress 3)

To trying to discuss options with my clinic - In fact it ended up me presenting alternatives to try and save this cycle (stress 4)

To shoe horning another scan today hoping my lining had improved (stress 5)

To having my transfer postponed (stress 6).

Yes there were a number of stresses but we have a plan and have been moved to an open transfer where effectively I stay on all my medication until my lining is optimal before moving onto progesterone and flights out to the clinic. The important thing is to get an optimal lining.

I am hoping next week will be a better week. Another scanned on Wednesday to see what is happening.

As long as I have a plan I can cope it is the unknown and not having a plan that really causes me anguish. My hubby has also been away all week so kinda found it a bit hard on my own.

So ladies I would love to hear from anyone that has had to do something similar ie stayed on meds until an optimal thickness is obtained and if you went on to have a successful pregnancy.

Thanks for taking the time to read my post. I feel like I need a big hug at the mo. I am glad it is the weekend.

Aww poor you! What a hell of a time you're having. Well obviously you know my story and although we didn't achieve pregnancy my lining eventually played ball.....and more importantly the consultant was convinced he wouldn't be seeing me again for a while so it obviously doesnt concern them that it took longer.

What thickness are you at for now? We're so similar in the planning department....causes such a lot of stress not knowing where you are and I can imagine not having hubby around will do much to calm the nerves.😕

Sensing a massive hug cause I agree, sounds like you need one!!xxx

No advice but well done you for navigating all your setbacks on your own this week. I hope you’ll get better news at your next scan. Good luck xx

Sounds like you’ve had a tough week but have done so well to get through it by yourself.

Wishing you a restful weekend and hoping that things will be smoother for you from this point onward xx

Hey

Just wanted to say beetroot juice swear by it helps the lining. I drank it on my first DE transfer and had perfect lining and it worked didn’t on my 2 DE FET and they failed miserably and they were top grade blasts apparently. Maybe it was just conincidence or not but I have to believe in something... No harm in giving it a try.

Good luck x
