4/1/2015- My first lining check was March 4th as it took 5.5 weeks to start my period.
TO MY SUPRISE.....My lining was NORMAL! Well it was 7mm but I had not even ovulated yet (ovulated3 days later) so it was still growing!!! Apparently ONE PERCENT of women do not absorb forms of estrogen other than their own!!! So.....I don't have a lining issue after all!
The only downside to me is that our clinic is out of the county and we now have to do a "natural" frozen embryo transfer cycle and you can't book anything in advance because there's no way to plan on when you start a period and ovulate so when we book our next trip we won't book it until day 1 of my cycle and then we would leave about 16 ish days later.
BUT I AM SO HAPPY MY LINING IS NOT DAMAGED!!! YIPEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE!!!!

2/6/2015- Welp, sorry its been a while since I have updated...just coming out of shock I guess.
Sooo after my last scan I was upped to 10mg estrace. 5 days later my lining was only 5.72mm and there was a tiny bit of fluid in my uterus. YOU GOTTA BE KIDDING ME.
My clinic is out of the country which makes things a tad more difficult and they told me to start Viagra (yes, I know...no boners occurred) and then get another scan on Monday the 12th. We were due to leave to go out of country on Wednesday the14th FML ...NO STRESS, SHEESH.... and was supposed to have my transfer on the 16th which got delayed until the 20th luckily we had extra day booked in our trip to accommodate that 4 day move!
On the 12th I had my final ultrasound & my lining did increase but not enough for my clinic to proceed. One measurement was 6.68mm and the other was 7.65mm. The fluid also started to go away but was in the lower part of my uterus instead of upper section where the embies would go. There was also a bunch of free fluid outside my uterus so there is a possibility that I ovulated..... Starting antibiotics that day just in case there was an infection.
After my clinic reevaluated my situation and reviewed pictures from my hysteroscopy in Oct they determined that they saw a white opaque region in my uterus which unfortunately means I was scraped too thin after losing my son. FTW. They said they do see redness though which indicates blood supply so they feel confident that my lining will grow back but that it could take a full year!!! They are requiring me to have 2-3 normal flow periods before scheduling.
So it's going to be a long road for me! I will be doing scans between day 14-16 every month to watch lining growth. Once at 9mm & I have 2-3 normal flow periods I can book another cycle. Since we have to book 3 months in advance (cheap rooms book fast in Barbados) I'm realistically at least 6 months away from a cycle....unless my lining damage is permanent.
HAPPY 2015....NOT!

1/8/2015- Had my second ultrasound on Monday and my lining was only at 5mm so they upped my estrace, next ultrasound is tomorrow! Pretty fucking nervous about it! I am doing every little thing I can think of to increase blood flow vaginal region! Estrace does make my bewbies bigger which is fucking incredible and also makes me have more love juice LOL :-D
Went to acupuncture last night and I am pretty sure he thinks I am a fucking loon lol. Actually I am sure anyone who encounters me right after I leave work thinks that because I am still wound up running around at 1,000mph not making any damn sense!
I absolutely LOVE my acupuncturist though! He is SO gay and it is incredible. He is so sweet and funny! <3
As far as the Heparin....I FUCKING HATE this time. I really cant figure it out but it hates me this go 'round. My last cycle was nearly painless, bruise and track mark free! This time is so painful! FML

12/29/2014- Had my baseline ultrasound today which was good! Wohoooooo! Started more meds & next scan is January 5th!
Besides that.... Tonight was a disaster! So I started my Heparin injections tonight which are 2x a day and the timing is very strict! I am to draw with a 25g 5/8 needle and the change to a 30g 1/2 for injection. Any who I drew the med and then went to grab the 30g needle and knew instantly it would NOT work! The damn pharmacy gave me the wrong syringes! So I had NO choice than to inject my tummy with the 25g 5/8 and it was terrible! Not only that I guess I didn't screw the tip back on straight so the med started dripping out so I had to pull out and then re stick myself again! DH & I went immediately to walgreens and got the right syringes but it was crappy!
To top it off this evil lupron makes me dead tired during the day! I mean non - functioning tired but then at like 10pm I get a blast of energy & can't sleep! I made flipping brownies at 11pm! Took out the trash, did the dishes etc....I feel like I could run a marathon & earlier I thought I was going to have to leave work bc I couldn't keep my eyes open! WTF
