Luck of the Irish????
So, I have never been so excited today that AF finally arrived - it signals moving forward with our FET #1. It feels like forever ago when we actually did our IVF#1 cycle. I am doing estrogen patches, baby aspirin, and prenatals up until ET , then adding PIO and progesterone cream after ET. I only have 3 appointments including ET if all goes well until beta. My ET is scheduled for March 7th, and our beta will be on March 17th (st.Patricks day). Will we have the luck of the Irish with us? I hope to God so!!!

Countdown to FET#1
Well, I am officially trying to get this blog going!
I am on the countdown to starting my FET#1 when AF arrives in @7-9 days. I feel excited and optimistic about the cycle due to the following: 1) Much less medication than the fresh IVF#1.2) I know what to expect this time.3) Easier to coordinate with my and DHs work schedule.4) IVF#1 was ideal and it worked for us - unfortunately ending up in tube, rupturing and loosing baby and tube.5) Spring time is hopeful - all things are awakening from a dormant winter and ready to show signs of life - which I hope is a good premonition!
We have snow-twins so we are praying that both survive the thaw and show signs of life, prior to transfer. RE feels good about FET and our chances - wow I just wish I had more to give us better chances at thaw, but all in all they are perfect grade blastocysts so we just have to have faith and trust God, my body, and the clinic.
My only negative is I will have to once again give up (or alter) my Starbucks addiction (just one caffeine a day! If that is the worst I have to give up for this (these) baby (babies) then I will take it
