So we're on the road to our FET (frozen embryo transfer)!!! I started Lupron Friday, Oct 14th. So far I'm not really feeling any side effects from the therapy. I have been a bit moody lately, but I'm HOPING that is a PMS sign!!! I do not have an exact date yet for my FET. I have to start AF first, and THEN I will have a definite FET date. So, for maybe the second time in my life, I am SOOOO ready for AF to start! I am guessing FET will be sometime mid-November based on my ETA for AF.
But, I'm starting to think that my period will be late. I never ovulated this month and my estrogen levels are elevated. I "know" this because my CBEFM (fertility monitor) has been reading "HIGH" for 11 days straight now. Usually it reads "High" for 2-3 days before I ovulate and that is it. Not 11 days straight! I'm worried that I might have an estrogen-producing cyst on one of my ovaries. Maybe I am a hypochondriac, but I asked my nurse to send me an order for an Estrogen blood check (she already is sending me an order to check my TSH, why not add one simple test to the mix?). I am waiting for her response, but I really hope she agrees!!! I have always lived by the motto, "It's better to be safe than sorry". So what could it hurt to just draw a blood level and check? If it is low, then my monitor is bonky, and I will just turn it off and stop POAS! lol. IF it is high, maybe they'll take me seriously and order an ultrasound of my ovaries to check for any cysts.
Don't get me wrong... I don't WANT them to find anything! I want more than anything to be able to get my pinky popsicle put inside my uterus next month on time!!! I would think that catching something early enough would mean I can still go through with my FET.
Anyway, I always tend to ramble on during blogs. So in a nutshell: I have started my Lupron and once AF starts I will know when my FET will be!!! YAY!!!
