Next? …On Thursday, October 27th of 2022, I reached out to the nurse regarding the subsequent course of action.
Appointment to discuss next cycle On Wednesday 9/28 I had an appointment at the clinic to discuss my next
After cycle #2 was canceled in July, the following events took place:
On 7/31, I got my period. On 8/2, I started taking birth control. On 8/4, I contacted the financial counselor for clearance and the nurse to discuss my FET calendar. On 8/7, I stopped taking birth control. On 8/9, I had a baseline ultrasound and blood work.
From cycle day 3 to 7, I took Letrozole 5mg daily. On 8/16, my ultrasound showed a 3.1mm lining and 3 follicles. On 8/19, my lining was 5.0mm with 2 follicles. On 8/22, my estrogen was 257.3, lining 4.9mm, and I took my trigger shot. On 8/24, I started progesterone in oil (1ml) nightly.
On 8/28, an ultrasound showed no fluid. On 8/29, the embryo transfer took place. On 9/8, the HCG test was negative.
After my ectopic pregnancy on May 24th, 2022, my period arrived on the 28th, marking the start of a new cycle. Following my doctor’s advice, I began taking birth control the next day. On June 13th, I had a post-op appointment, and everything was healing well. The nurse provided me with a calendar for my next FET (Frozen Embryo Transfer) procedure.
On June 14th, I started taking a Vitamin E supplement and Pentoxifylline to help thicken my uterine lining. On June 22nd, I stopped taking birth control pills and had a baseline ultrasound and blood work, which showed a uterine lining of 3.3mm. The doctor instructed me to start taking estrace the next day.
Cycle #2 was canceled on July 22nd due to a thin uterine lining and uterine fluid. I stopped taking Lupron and estrace and started doxycycline and medroxyprogesterone as prescribed. I kept the nurse informed of my period start date to adjust my treatment plan accordingly.

In January 2022, following our discussion with the doctor, we opted to go for a mini stim IVF cycle after not having any viable embryos from the previous egg retrieval. As recommended, I started taking CoQ10 and DHEA supplements. When my period began on January 19, I reported it to the clinic and began taking birth control pills the next day to control it.
Embarking on our journey in April 2021, little did we know that it would ultimately lead us to the realm of IVF. Filled with a renewed sense of well-being, both physically and emotionally, my husband and I joyfully committed to the pursuit of parenthood once again. In the quest for the perfect fertility clinic, we encountered challenges, yet the clinic that had previously supported us in IUI procedures stepped up once more. As we navigated through consultations and procedures, unforeseen hurdles arose, eventually guiding us towards the path of in vitro fertilization (IVF). The decision to take this route brought both uncertainties and hope, marking a significant juncture in our ongoing journey.

Embarking on our fertility journey in early 2020, my spouse and I decided to give it another go. Our plan included several rounds of Intrauterine Insemination (IUI) alongside the use of Clomid. Despite experiencing three unsuccessful IUI cycles in January, February, and March, and taking a break in April and May, our hope remains steadfast. Clomid, a medication addressing ovulatory issues, played a role in our strategy, as it enhances the chances of successful conception when combined with IUI. As our journey unfolds, we invite you to stay connected through our YouTube Channel, The Infertility Compass, and join our private Facebook group for further engagement.
