Crap

I had my appointment this morning and I'm at risk for cancellation. My lining is still around 6.0 - so basically, it's exactly the same as Monday. I'm just not responding to the shots for some reason.

My RE said there's one more thing we can try - estradiol vaginal suppositories 2 x/day. I'll probably start those tomorrow and then go back on Monday. I'm not sure how long she's willing to wait on those. If they don't work, I'll get cancelled and we'll have to start over.

Obviously, I'm disappointed but with infertility, I also know that anything can happen. On the brightside, the embryos will wait for me as long as they need to.

If anything significant is reported this afternoon with my blood work, I'll post again.

I have one last shot. Oh! Look at that! I make jokes when I don't even mean to.

One of the nurses just called. My RE is prescribing the vaginal cream and I can start on that tonight. My estrogen did increase from 279 on Monday to 391 today, but it's certainly not superstar status.

If my lining isn't thick enough on Monday, I'll get cancelled. The nurse said my dr. would prescribe Provera and then we'd just jump right back in again. I think Provera is used to induce AF? Anyone know?

So, worst case, I guess that only puts us behind a few weeks. Still diappointing because I'm not holding out much hope for the "miracle" cream but I guess you never know.

I think I'm more surprised than anything that I'm having problems with this. I thought FET would be a piece of cake and never expected to get cancelled.

It just goes to show that anything can happen and infertility continues to uphold its reputation of putting us through pure hell.

Last update today, I promise!

I just picked up my prescription and was pleasantly surprised to find Estrace pills. It's the same dosage I had for the IVF cycle and my lining seemed OK for that so maybe, just maybe, they'll work.

I'm not quite sure why I have them because I know my RE specifically asked if I remembered the little blue Estrace pills, I said "Yes, I still have some leftover" and then she said "Well, it's not the pills this time, we're going to do vaginal suppositories instead".

Maybe she reviewed my records and decided the pills were OK?

I'm still a little skeptical because I only have 3 days to prove myself. Can 7 little pills really make that much of a difference?

But, I am happy that I won't have to deal with any of that yucky, disgusting, white, thick, oooey, gooey, mess that would have been coming out of my nether region.

Can I get an amen for pills?
