As some of you know, I am active in a message board with a small group of about six girls who are cycling at the same clinic as me. These girls have been amazing and I feel lucky to have connected with them. Right now, everyone of them is pregnant and I can't begin to tell you how thrilled I am...the road has been long and difficult for each and every one of them. The last girl had her FET earlier this week, and I have no doubt whatsoever that she will be showing a baby bump in no time flat!
As for me, I am, as they say, "bringing up the rear." My cycle was canceled today...
Apparently, at 17 mm, my lining was too thick and the doctor feels that if this is really the last time I am going to go through this, he wants everything to be perfect (which makes me wonder what he would have said to a woman in my same position if she hadn't told him this was her last time cycling).
Am I disappointed? I would be lying if I said I wasn't - but we've waited so long, what's another month. Also, having submitted our adoption paperwork really has me excited.
What makes me the most nervous is the future plans...
It's going to take about 2 weeks to force me to have a period. On CD 5, they are going to do blood work and perform an U/S. If my lining is >7mm at this time, I may have to undergo another D&C.
So, if you can put any good vibes into the universe, please wish that my lining cooperates next month.
On a more positive note, a good friend's mother who is an excellent photographer, has agreed to take pictures for us tomorrow for our adoption book. It's been a long time since we've had our picture taken, so I am actually looking forward to it! Even made an appointment to have my make-up done (which I never, ever do).

I just started to read your blog a couple of weeks ago and you can bring up the rear with me. I am doing a FET in March. I have been following a couple of your friends as well as 2 of them were pregnant at the same time as me.
Oh geez flygirl!!! That truly sucks...and a DNC...wow...that would suck sooo bad. I don't wish nasty AF's on anyone but I hope your next one is GOOD and HEAVY to get it all out. But I know you know its for the best just the delay SUCKS!! But I'm not going anywhere...I'll be here cheering you on when it is good and ready.
Thinking of you lots. So frustrated for you that your cycle is cancelled. I hope so much your next cycle is perfect with no d&c needed. So exciting about the progress with your adoption paperwork. Have a great photo shoot!!
I am so sorry and am thinking of you. I felt like the caboose on our thread late last summer when everyone was cycling and I was canceled, so I can def relate. I hope that silly lining cooperates by your next cycle so a D&C isn't necessary. As you've already said, though, it's important to have everything be perfect for this last attempt. We are all supporting you as you wait for your turn. I know it is coming!!!!
Oh, flygirl, I'm sorry to read this. I was just checking in and saw this news....ugghhh! I feel like the caboose, too, because it seems like I'm the only one who hasn't had success. I've had the opposite problem to you...too thin a lining. I really hope this month of waiting goes by fast for you. That's exciting about getting your adoption book done. I look forward to reading your updates!
Thanks for all your warm wishes! They mean lots to me.
Honestly, this is a really small blip...
