Lining check, as of yesterday-7mm. Estrace dose upped from 2 pills twice daily to two pills three times daily. I go back in on Sunday morning for another date with the Wand.
They're tentatively telling me that the transfer will be sometime next week, but I'll have more info on Sunday as to an exact date.
As for side effects, they're not too bad. Sometimes I feel a little queasy or dizzy-more so in the past day or so, since the dose is upped-and I'm bloated and tired. No wacky mood swings though, which is a treat. Oh, yeah, and I'm breaking out like a fifteen-year old, which is always a joy. Remind me to take out my leg-warmers and stirrup stretch-pants so I can truly look the part.
It's one of the reasons that I'm looking forward to the progesterone. It makes my skin and hair look FAB. Sounds sick, doesn't it? Looking forward to getting my ass jabbed with a two inch needle so I can have nice skin and hair. I call it a fringe benefit, thankyouverymuch.
So, Dr. G seems pleased with the progress. I've never done a medicated FET before, and my last FET they didn't really go into detail about lining-they were more preoccupied with whether or not I ovulated, so I'm not sure that if the lining is good for being on Estrace for nine days (now ten). We'll find out soon enough.

I've got two weeks reprieve until the prepping for school starts. I'll have to go back and set everything up, get class listings, open supplies, blah blah blah. Although, this year will be interesting, since I'll be doing this post-transfer, and can't lift anything heavy. So, it will be a little limiting-depending on my schedule (which I still don't have yet), I'll have to set up one school more than the other, since I travel and am never in the same place. Yuck.
I was hoping, when we started this FET, that I'd be already post-beta by the time school began, but it is quickly becoming a pipe dream-in fact, beta day looks to be around the first week of school. I didn't want to have to be traveling back and forth to the clinic those first few weeks, since it will be hectic (especially because I'll have a new principal-again-in one of my postings), but since I can't control it, I won't worry too much about it. There's nothing I can do to change it.
I am sort-of ready to go back. Not ready for the stress, the nasty kids, the teachers that treat me like crap or the lack of administrative support-I'm never ready for that. But, I've made an educational resolution to really try and not let those things fill my brain and make me mental. Teaching can be stressful enough, and, should this FET work, I want to be as zen as possible.
Also, the odd thought of "perhaps I won't be there for the entire year" helps with that resolution. Which I push out of my head as soon as it flies in there. Don't want to hope, just yet-it's too early for that.

I hope you get your transfer date soon so you have something somewhat-concrete to look forward to!! I know it always helps me when I have an actual date to count down to.
PIO also made my skin clear up and look glowing and lovely. Now I get to deal with a miscarriage AND bad skin from the crazy hormone changes. I'm so lucky...
Everything sounds to be going well. I hear what your saying about hoping not to be at work for much longer. I have been so disappointed to be back full time this year, especially because many of my close friends who are teachers are home with their babies. I hope you wont be teaching for too much longer x.
I totally hear you on all of the teaching stuff. I too have the thought "maybe I won't be here the whole year" that is helping me get through these first days and all of our "unsupportive administration" (why are they all like that??).
I did the heavy lifting part of my school setup before my transfer and then took it easy for the 5 days before school actually started. My beta is next week, during the second week of school. I have found that my brain just is not in teaching at all this year -- I am too focus on infertility! But I don't know what to do to fix it!
Oh, I am wishing you a ton of luck with this cycle! I really hope this works for you. Everything is crossed...
I wonder which clinic you go to. I went to a big one in Morristown, so I'm just curious...
BTW, I HATED Lupron. Made me insane for two of my cycles. The other times, just mildly irritaible. WTF?
Sorry my comments are all over the place. My brain is just a mess today. You can have my leg warmers if you want, though... ; ) Enjoy your weekend and keep us posted!
Nope, Anna-I go to a big one that's in Livingston, but I know which one you went to!! :)
Good luck this month! I'm keeping my fingers crossed for you.
And I promise to be very supportive to my daughter's kindergarten teacher when I meet him/her next week!
Heather, you ROCK!! I've missed you!
S - Good luck with the transfer.. You're right about starting back at school... it's always going to be yuck; we just have to learn to let all that slide right off. x
I've never been able to match up my cycles with my school holidays. Retrieval and transfer always seems to happen right in the busiest part of the term. And I have been so unfocussed on my career this year ... somehow, so many other things get to seem important instead.
I hope it's not too stressful returning before you actually have an answer yet.
Good luck with the transfer, I will be praying for you as always. Kind of sucky that you have to do this right before school starting. I hope this is the last time you will have to worry about it though.
