FET#1 has begun!

I've been so busy with it being the summer holidays that I keep forgetting to update the blog, sorry!

A couple of weeks ago we had our booking in for FET#1, we're delighted to have changed Dr, as the new guy 100% supports my choice to continue breastfeeding, what a relief!

I'm CD2, and we're planning on doing the 3 day (911) embryo first, so if it doesn't thaw then we can try the 5 day blasto (4AB).  If the day 3 falls on a Sunday then we'll have to do the day 5 instead.
We're hoping to avoid a Friday for transfer as that's when the miserable cow Dr who gave me a bollocking (whilst coming round from GA of IVF7) for breastfeeding during IVF is on duty....!
Our new Dr had a bit of a twinkle in his eye when we explained how she spoke to me, he says he totally understands, so we presume her bedside manner may have gotten her a few complaints!  He's even given me his email address (at the hosp, not personal lol) so I can send him the most recent info on IVF whilst BF, yay!
So I'll be doing a very lightly medicated cycle, just 50 of menopur instead of 450, then ovitrelle to trigger once my lining looks good and the usual progesterone in the 2ww - and beyond we hope....
First scan and bloods is on Monday, then I think they're going to let me know if I'll need any down regs to stop the possibility of early ovulation.
