Still in Limbo Land April 29, 2005
I didn’t get the best news at my ultrasound today, but I didn’t get the worst either. I guess there’s something to be said for that. My lining has thickened some but not quite enough. It’s up to 7.5mm. The good news is that those follicles are completely gone, so I can safely stay on the Estrace for a little while longer to see if we can get my lining to thicken up some more. So, I’m upping my Estrace again and going back for another ultrasound on Wednesday. We should know then whether we’ll be able to schedule the transfer or have to cancel the cycle.
At first I was really disappointed with this news, but I guess I need to look on the bright side. I’m not cancelled…yet. And having my hypothetical transfer pushed back a few days will also push back my hypothetical beta. This is actually a good thing, because if I had gotten the go ahead to schedule transfer today and we actually ended up with embryos to transfer then my beta would have been on our anniversary. Not a good thing. Nothing says Happy Anniversary like a negative beta.
Let me not get ahead of myself, though. To worry about beta dates you actually have to have a transfer scheduled and actually have to have embryos survive the thaw. Who knows if either of those things will happen. Right now I’m just going to focus on getting my stubborn lining to thicken up a bit more. That’s enough to worry about.

Very glad your anniversary does not equal beta date. Not good at all.
Yeah pg results on important days suck. I should find out on Mother’s Day – not emotionally charged at all! Ugh.
Hoping you get more good news soon!
Yeah, my beta is the day after mother’s day. I still haven’t decided if thats good or bad. Glad you aren’t cancelled yet.
What do they need, nine? Ten? Surely a couple more days will produce the lush lining they seek. And I agree about the anniversary. You will be in LL at that time, but at least you will be able to enjoy the day. Keep us posted.
I am sure your lining just needs a few more days to thicken up. Sending you fluffy lining vibes!
Thinking of you Amanda and hoping that everything goes your way and your lining thickens. I have this same issue. I’m on estrogen now to see if that helps.
I hope your lining decides to grow some more! And that your embies survive the thaw. So maybe it is a good thing that your transfer has been pushed back, as a negative beta can ruin any day!
GO LINING, GO! GO LINING, GO!
Hang in there, sweetness.
I got your quilt square today–LOVE IT. Love you, too.
*Hoping you’ve got good news to share*
Good luck, Amanda. I’ll be thinking of you.
