Update

  8dpt...POAS and got a BFP
10dpt...POAS again just to make sure
11dpt...Beta #1 463
13dpt...Beta #2 ???

It's been a rollercoaster of a week for me.  First I had a little spotting at 6dpt that only lasted a few minutes.  It was a little too early to be my period, but I thought for sure it was the beginning of the end.  I gave in at 8dpt and POAS.  Then I saw a few drops (literally, a few) on 9dpt, so I got nervous again.  I was shocked at my beta on 11dpt, and I am anxious (to say the least) about tomorrow's beta...  

6dpt and spotting

Well, it's 6 days since my FET, and this afternoon I had some pink spotting.  Not a lot...but I'm very familiar with this pattern.  It was actually time for my estrace and progesterone at that time, and I haven't had any spotting since then (about 8 hours ago).  I do have some bad cramping though.  The one time I actually got a BFP, I had absolutely no bleeding.  And with all of my BFNs, I always start to bleed around this time (though this is a day or so earlier than usual).  So, I'm pretty sure this is coming to an end.  I'm not too surprised, and I never got my hopes up this cycle.  I'm ready to call Denver to schedule my 1 day workup, but I thought I should probably wait for a full flow before I make the call.  For now, I'll just continue my meds...and cramping...and q20 minute checks for bleeding.  ;)

3dp6dt FET

Well, I'm 3dp my FET and feeling pretty unremarkable with the exception of bloating and some serious growth of the girls...but that's all progesterone effect so I'm not even thinking about it.  I used to analyze every symptom, but now I don't let myself pay too much attention (ok, ok...I had a few twinges on the left today- but that's all).  The one thing I've finally been able to link to progesterone is the terrible back and hip pain I've had.  It never dawned on me that I had it with each cycle, but this time it started exactly one day after starting progesterone.  I'm not much of a complainer, but I've been quite uncomfortable.  Oh well.  My left hip was really hurting the worst, but today my right is worse.  I'm actually happy to have some relief on the left!! 
I had a really good and fairly relaxing (well, for me) weekend my DH.  We did lots of cooking (I like to cook ahead for busy weeks), did some shopping, had the best breakfasts, and watched some TV.  Now I'm looking forward to a busy week at work.  It's really the best thing for me because it totally takes my mind off of things, and it makes the time fly by. 

11/11 FET

11/11- Veteran's Day, FET day.  I keep hoping that 11/11 is somehow lucky.  Oddly enough, when they took me back to the OR, the time on the ultrasound screen was 11:11.  I know, a little superstitious but hey...
The transfer went well.  Both of our blasts thawed well, and it was an easy transfer.  I say it was an easy transfer because I have a tipped uterus, so there have been times when it required a little extra work (and even a stiff catheter) to do the transfer.  Well, this time, I went with an extra-full bladder (and I mean extra-full), and the transfer was a straight shot.  No one could believe it.
I was anxious leading up to today with fear that the embryos wouldn't survive the thaw.  So, I felt very relieved once they told me that the embryos looked great and were starting to hatch.  I actually felt very calm during the transfer, and it's always just a little exciting to watch the transfer on the ultrasound screen.  After laying around for 30 minutes, we were on our way.  The rest of the day was pretty unremarkable.  I did get in a nice 1.5hr nap.  For some reason, I was sooooo tired.  Now I'm just watching Oprah.  :) 
My little embies should implant within 12-24 hours of the transfer, and I am praying that they find a comfy home for the next 9 month.  For now, I remain PUPO! 

3 days away!

Our FET is finally within sight and just 3 days away.  I'm excited and nervous, but I know that we have a plan in place no matter what happens.  Luckily, I've had work to keep me busy and keep my mind off of infertility.  And, hence, my blog was quite neglected for several weeks.  I had my ultrasound last Friday, and my lining looks great.  It's always looked great, but I was still a little apprehensive going to the visit.  So, for now, it's all positive thoughts.  I've been incredibly tired (and bloated, of course) since starting progesterone on Saturday.  I always forget just how exhausted it can make me feel.  
On the Facebook front, there's another friend who announced she was pregnant with twins.  And another one of my friends just delivered.  And, another baby blanket was ordered...
