I just wanted to post on what happened at my appointment. Wednesday night I had some bleeding, so I emailed the clinic so that they would get it first thing in the morning. I wanted to know if this should count as Day 1. They wrote back and said yes and they told me that they wanted me to come in on Friday morning at 9am. Only problem was we had to go pick up a new couple at the airport 2 hours away this morning and the clinic closes at 1pm. So, they asked if we could come sometime before 5pm yesterday. I called Barry at work and they needed to decide which day they wanted to give up, him leaving a little early or not going to pick up the new guy. So they let him go.
So we get to the appointment (45 minute drive to like 1.5 hours) and then the doctor calls us in and we talk about the next cycle. I tell him that I had some bleeding, but not much since then. He gives me the plan of doing the estrogen patches and then right before and after FET I have to do progesterone suppository thingies (look like little gumballs, lol). And he shocked us with the idea that he plans on putting 3 back this time! AHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!!!!! And it looks like we will do the assisted hatching too. It worried me, not only about the number, but also how low the % chance is of it working for a FET as opposed to a fresh cycle. They did say that if one did not make it through the thaw, they will defrost another and then the first 2 would be a 3 day transfer and the one would be a 2 day. So I guess we will have to wait and see.
SO, then i go in for my u/s and the doc has this strange look on his face. I am freaking out because I think it is something really bad, especially when he calls in the other lady to tell her something in German. I look at her and said, What? The doc said that the bleeding was not my period. I asked the lady what that meant. She gave me a sheepish look and said that I might still be pregnant. WHAT?!?!?!?!? They said my lining was still too thick for this to be my period and that they would need to do some b/w to find out. So they drew blood and told me to call at 130 today.
So, we decided that we would just go on as we were and if they said positive then wonderful, but we were not counting on it at all. Today we went and picked up the new people and showed them around and help them with stuff. Late in the afternoon, Barry turns to me and asks me if I called the clinic at 130. Of course, he knows I forgot seeing that it was 230 at the time. So I tried calling the clinic just in case, but they were gone. I called our machine and they had left a message. She never actually said anything about a beta or anything, but she said that if I had starting bleeding more, I could start the patches tomorrow like he had planned and come in for an appointment on the 24th of June. They said if I had not started, then I would need to wait and let them know when I did. So, we believe it was still negative and that is what we are going with. It would have been an interesting story to tell, but oh well.
