Suppression Scan FET No. 2

I'm still waiting on the blood results of the E2 (estrogen) and thyroid levels.  Most likely those will be back later this afternoon.  However, I did go to the RE clinic at Madigan.

Dr. Chow denied that he saw me last month.  Maureen pulls open my chart and says that it states that he did see me.  So that is how the appointment started off.  Ugh!

Insert wand.  Lining is now 3.7 mm.  Okay that is a good thing which means I'm almost done bleeding.

Right ovary.  Ah crap 15 mm cyst.

Left ovary.  Mega crap.  I have a 4+ CM fluid filled cyst sitting behind the ovary.  Great!

Last month it was 5 cm so the good part is that it shrank a bit.

Howver, Dr. Chow still thinks that the E2 levels will come back to show that I'm suppressed.  He thinks that they'll still be able to proceed with the FET as planned.

I really hope Dr. Chow is right.


I did ask him about doing a drop of HCG at the time of transfer.  I know that he isn't doing the transfer but that PNW is doing that part.  He said that there is no evidence to show that it works.  Yes, I did tell him that it worked for a friend of mine.  I said what clinic in CA and he gave a sneer at that little mention.  Looked like he wanted to make a comment, not a nice one, about that clinic.

This morning I did email my nurse at PNW to beg ask if we could do the HCG drop.  I'm not a betting person but I can almost bet that they will again say "no".  I'll be shocked if they decide to do that little bit for my piece of mind.

Second Suppression Scan

I passed!

Lining was down to 5.7 mm from 11mm on Tuesday.  I think I mentioned how heavy I was bleeding in my blog.

Dr. B. is going to fax over the results to PNW today letting them know the ovaries and uterus are good to go.  YAY!

Now I just have to wait for PNW to call me back, I called them too when I got the news this morning, to start the Alora patches.

I'm right on track again!!!!

Suppression Scan

Well I failed.

My lining, even though I've been spotting for a whole bcp pack and lightly bleeding since Friday, was 11mm.

I have 6 residual follicles from ovulating on the pill about two weeks ago.  Yeah, I remember quite well how much fricken pain I was in two week ago.  I hurt so bad I couldn't eat and lost 4 pounds.  Yes, I ovulated while on the pill.

Biggest follicle was measuring in at 11mm.  Must be I like the number 11 today.

Had my blood work at 0700 hrs.  Waiting on the results now.  Then waiting on the result to get sent to PNW. 

Meanwhile I picked up more needles for the Lupron as I didn't have enough for this cycle on hand.  If I have to go yet another week on the Lupron I'll need an additional vial, especially if I'm kept at 10 units.

Just got the lab results.  E2 was 20 which means I am suppressed.  However, I just called Nicole at PNW and being that my lining is so thick she'll have to consult with the doctor to see if they want to keep my Lupron at the higher dose for another week.  Dr. B, who is just back from Afghanistan, said just as much to me today during my visit.

So I sit here and wait.

On the weight thingy.  I lost the pound I gained over the weekend plus 0.4 more overnight.  So just as I figured it was bloat.
