Today will be the most sticks/shots I will have in one day during this FET cycle.....4!!
- Lupron shot
- Blood work - This morning I had my estradiol level taken again. My level is now 670 and I will continue on 4mg of E2V.
- Intralipid infusion today. Intralipids are something my RE uses for people who have immune/implantation issues. Since our 1st IVF cycle failed with no explanation why...this could be something that could help. I've never been tested for immune issues (specifically NK cells) because it costs $400 for the test and only $180 for the treatment...so we went ahead and decided to do the treatment. I was very nervous about this because its new to me and I didn't know how my body would react. Thankfully my IRL & blog friend T went with me and we had our infusion at the same time. It was so comforting to have her by my side chatting the time away. It was easy and it only took an hour.
4. E2V shot
Pretty eventful huh!! I have an ultrasound tomorrow morning and will update when I come home.

I'm glad you made it through all the needles okay, and that T was able to go with you. That's so great! Good luck at tomorrow's u/s.
Ooooo, my potential new RE tests for immunology and NK cells before you're allowed to cycle - good to know I'll have someone to check in with about it.
Good luck tomorrow!
I'm glad you made it through the needles. Yikes! Good luck tomorrow and keep us posted!
JESS!!!!!!!!! I had my intralipid infustion today too!! Are we twins? Maybe we will have twins? Did you get your transfer date? Mine is this next Thursday. I hope we transfer on the same day :)
The intralipids weren't so bad, I slept through the IV infusion...but I was darn cold when it was all done.
Best of luck fellow Jess!
Glad to hear things are going well:)Will you do anymore Intralipids or just one shot? I do mine every 4 wks for 24wks but I have both NK and DQ Alpha match.....Our medication comes from the hospital and I pay 26.50 for it but it then paid for by insurance...and the infusion is covered 100% since I have met my deductible....so we are lucky:)
Awww! That's so awesome that you and T were able to have it at the same time!!! I'm sooooo happy you two are going thru all this together as I know how much easier it makes the process! So excited for you both!!!
Hey! Thanks for the shout out! I am glad you were there to help pass the time too!! This experience is much easier going through it with you!!
