Hope33, don't panic, I had some crapping too and also thought OH MY GOODNESS, I am going to miss the window. You have to remember that you are still producing egg(s), so that could be what is causing the cramping.
I started the estrace on 10/31 so this is my 14th day. I will start progesterone tonight.
Brenda, on my last fresh IVF, I too was late about 5 days and I am never late. Shameful that we now wish for the that dang thing to come and before all this we dreaded it every month, how things change, LMAO.
As soon as I get the blood work numbers, I will check back in.

Hey girls! Sorry - I was waiting for my cycle to start and it finally did this morning. So, I started my Vivelle patches and I go in on the 25th to check my levels and lining. If all is well, we'll transfer on the 1st. Yea!
Hope33: Regarding my natural pregnancy, I was waiting to start AF so that I could proceed with my frozen cycle. I was about 3 days late, so I took an HPT. I could not believe it was positive so I took another one (I had the mult-pack). It was positive too. I called my RE's office. They could not believe it. I had a blood test that day and it was a strong positive.

Hey Cocosmamma! Wooohooo!!!! what is your dosing on the patch? Wishing you all the best this cycle.
hackney- your numbers have gotten me so psyched for my visit. I can only pray that my lining is a 10 tommorrow too. My lining last visit was a 5 so our numbers seem to match so far. i will let you know what happens tomorrow after my visit. My appointment isn't until 4pm so expect to see me post later in the night. you are taking the antibiotic for how long? what is the dose and how often. Is the METHYLPRED the steriod?
Brenda- hope af comes soon!
DTN0809- you go in tomorrow too right? Good luck and keep us posted on your results.
wish me luck guys!!!!!!!

Hope33, your numbers will be FANTASTIC today, my first check on lining was only 5.5mm.
As for the antibiotics: TETRACYCLINE CAP 250MG 4x a day and METHYLPRED TAB 16MG 1x a day.
Here is what I found on the METHYLPRED:
METHYLPREDNISOLONE (Medrol)
This steroid hormone is taken when the Assisted-Hatch procedure is being done, in conjunction with the Embryo Transfer. It is taken to suppress any inflammatory reaction that might occur between the embryo(s) and the endometrial lining.
Let me know about those numbers, as I willbe thinking about you!!
Nice to be close to someone pretty much on the same protocol!!! You have been a doll!!
Started those wonderful BUTT shots as I like to call them (Progesterone), 1cc once a day, what a JOY those are!
cocosmomma, glad things are starting to move for you. You have finally jumped on the bus with me and Hope33.
Will check back in later ladies!
Wishing nothing but GREAT news for all today!!
Helen

hope33 - I am on one patch every other day for a few days and then I slowly go up to 2, then 3, then 4. I don't have the schedule right in front of me, so I can't tell you specifically just yet. I am really excited! I've done just about everything a person can do to prepare and my body is back in a healthy and healed state, so I am comfortable with doing it again now.
Helen - thanks. I am glad to be with you guys. Let's go 3 for 3, shall we? I'm in Tallahassee. Are you from South Florida originally?
