Transfer Is Set

All 5 embies still dividing and looking good!!!

5 Day transfer is set for Monday at 11:45. I'll be having 2 acupuncture sessions that day - One 30 minutes before the transfer and one 30 minutes after. It's supposed to really cut down on uterine tremors (which are involuntary and the result of the cathetar and awkward positioning) which Chinese medicine believes will encourage implantation.

Anyone out there ever use the progesterone cream in Crin.one? It's inserted via a tampon like apparatus and it's in lieu of PIO shots. It's downright nasty! That's all I'm saying.

Yay!!!! Day 5 here I come. :)

  4. It's amazing that you will be able to transfer blastocysts. That will really increase your chances of success! Do you know how many you might put back? Good luck!!!!!!

  5. I'm so excited for you...and I actually have used Crin.one so if you have specifics I'd be happy to talk via email (just let me know on my blog). I may have some insight to several of the Progesterones, actually.

    Can't wait to hear the good news at transfer!

  9. Love me some before and after ET accupuncture! Hate the crinone. This next cycle will be my first time doing the shots. I also get all itching from the cream. Sorry. Good luck. I am sure I will cheer you on again on Monday. How many are you putting back?

  12. I am so glad they are all doing great!

    Crinone sucks. I used it with my last IVF cycle. Don't much like it.

    Good luck with transfer!!

  13. Great news! So glad that all embies are doing well! Good luck for your transfer.

    I've never used progesterone cream (and it may be the ONLY thing in the IF world that I've never used!!) Although I'd say even the suppositories are yucky, because of all the discharge etc. YUCK!!!

  14. Such exciting news. Fingers crossed!
    Yes I used the tampon creme progesterone inserts but I also was on the butt shots as well. It was all so LOVELY! but hey if its what kept my little guy alive those first 12 weeks than more power to it. Even when that shit did leak out ever couple minutes all over the place YUCK!

  17. AWESOME!!! I would kill to use progesterone suppositories. I have to use progesterone in oil shots instead. The needle is 2 inches long and goes in my butt cheek. :(
