A Sigh of Relief...At Least, A Little One

I spoke with Nurse Blondie this morning over the phone about my FET dates. She reassured me of the following:

1. My lining is at 8mm, which is good for transfer.
2. The reason for the 8/30 transfer date is not because my uterus is a shitstorm or my ovary is playing Hide the Salami, but simply because they wanted to make sure that Dr. Pipsqueak was the one doing the transfer, instead of the RE on call for the week.
3. They don't need to see me this week, so I don't have to go in for monitoring until the 29th.

So I'm breathing a small sigh of relief. Plus, Blondie (I love her, btw!) assured me that, although my lining is good for transfer, another week on the meds will only make it better-she's predicting 10mm by transfer (I should have wagered a bet, but hell.....I'm piss poor right now).

As for school starting-eh. I'm feeling "eh" about everything. I still haven't gotten jack shit from my department head about my schedule or even if I'm posted in the same schools this year. Since we start soon, perhaps that would be nice, huh? It would be helpful to have some notice if I have to move crap from one school to another. But, I refuse to stress about it. I have to be as relaxed as possible those first two weeks of school, no matter what.

I have no choice not to. The alternative is just not acceptable to me.

The first few weeks of school are always hard but you have bigger fish to fry this year. Just focus on yourself - school will always be there. (I wish I remembered that more!)

Good luck with the FET!

I just wanted to wish you a good FET cycle. I hope your lining continues to thicken! Good luck with the new school year.

I reckon that our egg collection day will be 4 Sept, and transfer then around 6 sept, so we are closely synched again. Let's hope it's a good time for both of us - and that being busy with work will be a good distraction....

Good luck with the FET!

And regarding school: listen to that Pink Floyd's hit song a couple of times. :-)

S- I wanted to wish you good luck on your transfer and good luck with the start of the school year. I'm not a teacher, but my mother is, and I know all about the stress leading up to a new school year. Make sure to take some time for yourself if you can :)

Praying for things to go well with the FET transfer! I could imagine this time of year can be stressful, I hope you can find a way to relax through it.

Hope the FET goes well. I am starting back to teaching as well. I don't have a roster either. Frustrating. Good luck
