IVF/FET #1 CD 14 Small Victories

I love sharing my small victories with this group….infertility related or not! Today, I got my end of the year evaluation at work and scored the highest points possible….EXCEPTIONAL PERFORMER! I can never tell if I am doing a good job, so I was beyond elated to get this score. My boss also told me that I don’t have to take any time off for my transfer on Thursday. She said I've already been through so much and this was her gift to me...yay! 

To me, it’s the little things like this that make me so happy. I’ve been crying because these things just make me feel so good…or maybe I’m just REALLY hormonal!!!!

Question: Has anyone else had cramping from the endometrin (progesterone) suppositories? I've been having AF-like cramping (though very mild,) since I started the endometrin. I think this is normal...but was interested to see if anyone else has experienced this. Thanks!

CONGRATS! :) That is awesome!!!

Yes, I took endometrin and I, too, had those pesky cramps. I was also going to mention my switch from endometrin to the PIO injections a couple posts below, but I'll just do it here. I used endometrin during my 2ww. Then, right when I found out I was pregnant, I had some mild spotting (looking back, I think the applicator or pill was scratching my cervix a and that caused the bleeding). As a precaution, they moved me over to PIO injections. They, of course, had downsides too (Hello??? Huge needle in your butt! Painful knots, some bruising, etc etc), but I did like knowing that ALL the medicine was making it into my system. Also, they were WAY cheaper. So that may be an option if your doc goes that route.

It is all so completely and totally worth it (but you know that already). ;)

Krista... my RE had me do 48 hours of STRICT bed rest post transfer. It was really hard bc I had to miss christmas dinner with my family! Obviously the outcome was well worth it :-) After that, I took it easy but just continued with my daily activities. Just remember, we really have little control of what happens, do the best you can, don't stress, have faith that God will bring you the babies your meant to have in His time, and remember you have so many people praying for you! Once the 48 hours are up, go on a date with your hubby and try to relax :) Thinking good thoughts for you!!
