FET cycle – CD1

CD 1 – Frozen embryo transfer (FET) cycle has begun!

The details:

• This is our 1st (and hopefully last) FET following a fresh IVF cycle that resulted in an ectopic rupture
• We are transferring our 2 embryos. I’m super excited to see them! 
• It’s a natural FET
• Tomorrow,  I start 400 mg of Estrace 2x daily + 1 Asprin
• First monitoring appointment is Jan 19th – blood work + ultrasound. Welcome back Dildocam! It’s been a while… 
• When I get the go ahead, I start Prometrium + Doxycyline and BOOK OUR TRIP back to the clinic
• Transfer is tentatively scheduled for January 27. My guess is it will be a few days later as I typically ovulate later on a natural cycle

This afternoon when I heard back from the clinic, I felt a bit anxious. I reviewed my medication schedule. I counted my pills (yes, I’ve got some left from when I was pregnant). I went on Expedia and looked at travel options…

Then, I took a deep breath and reminded myself that:

My goal for this cycle is to remain calm, go with the flow and feel at peace with the process.

The only thing that mattered tonight was whether or not I had enough Estrace and Asprin for tomorrow. Answer = Yes.

There’s nothing to worry about.

One day at a time, one step at a time…

We are coming back for you babies! Your Daddy and I are so excited to see you. We love you and can’t wait to bring you home. XO
