Hadn't though about autoimmune. Yes, I'll look into that. Thank you! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/well-im-officially-out-this-month-now-what#post-1280564 Fri, 13 Dec 2013 16:04:12 +0000 CatchAFallingStar 1280564@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Happygal: so far, I've only seen my OBGYN. I have my first appointment with an RE next month. My current doctor has only checked my FSH and I had an HSG. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/well-im-officially-out-this-month-now-what#post-1280430 Fri, 13 Dec 2013 15:25:11 +0000 Snowdrop 1280430@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@LittleLashesToes: that seems like a good long lp. Which would suggest good ovulation and progesterone as far as I know. Maybe give the clomid another go and try and get tested for auto immune issues? </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/well-im-officially-out-this-month-now-what#post-1278165 Thu, 12 Dec 2013 19:30:59 +0000 Ash 1278165@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Kimberlybee: I swear by the chiro! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/well-im-officially-out-this-month-now-what#post-1278141 Thu, 12 Dec 2013 19:17:19 +0000 Happygal 1278141@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I'm sorry. 6 months isn't a long time in the TTC world to be trying, but I know it feels like a long time when you're really ready!</p> <p>Is your doctor checking your lining, progesterone levels, all that? I would sit down with your doctor and see what her advice is and decide from there--maybe complete the testing? </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/well-im-officially-out-this-month-now-what#post-1278139 Thu, 12 Dec 2013 19:16:24 +0000 PurplePumps 1278139@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I'm in the same predicament. I'm on my second round of Clomid with my OB, but I think I'm going to take a break from it next month and see an RE. I ovulated on my own without it also, and then first cycle it worked as expected and I O'd on CD18, this second cycle I didn't O until CD35, so I'm not even sure it did anything for me this time. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/well-im-officially-out-this-month-now-what#post-1278105 Thu, 12 Dec 2013 19:03:13 +0000 CatchAFallingStar 1278105@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Snowdrop: It was shorter than usual. It's usually 16-17 days. It was 14 this cycle. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/well-im-officially-out-this-month-now-what#post-1278100 Thu, 12 Dec 2013 19:02:46 +0000 CatchAFallingStar 1278100@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Kimberlybee: Interesting!! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/well-im-officially-out-this-month-now-what#post-1278099 Thu, 12 Dec 2013 19:02:33 +0000 CatchAFallingStar 1278099@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@BabyMats: So sweet! Thank you. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/well-im-officially-out-this-month-now-what#post-1277768 Thu, 12 Dec 2013 17:08:38 +0000 Snowdrop 1277768@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I heard that you should try things for 3 cycles before moving on to something else... How about combining the two? If you thought you had implantation bleeding was your lp short? </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/well-im-officially-out-this-month-now-what#post-1277679 Thu, 12 Dec 2013 16:43:40 +0000 Kimberlybee 1277679@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I conceived after years of trying while going to the chiropractor to get my back adjusted. I am positive it had something to do with it. Good luck! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/well-im-officially-out-this-month-now-what#post-1277655 Thu, 12 Dec 2013 16:38:34 +0000 BabyMats 1277655@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I don't have any advice just wanted to send a hug your way </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/well-im-officially-out-this-month-now-what#post-1277643 Thu, 12 Dec 2013 16:37:02 +0000 CatchAFallingStar 1277643@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@AmeliaBedilia: It actually doesn't dry it too badly for me. But, we do also use Preseed. That's too bad about your migraines! UGH! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/well-im-officially-out-this-month-now-what#post-1277536 Thu, 12 Dec 2013 16:09:02 +0000 AmeliaBedilia 1277536@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I send you a hug! :( I have heard acupuncture work well for many people. It did not work for me personally (triggered 2 migraines) but I think I am very odd on this. </p> <p>My other thought is that clomid can dry up CM. Is that a problem for you? If so, I would get some preseed. This is the first cycle I have tried it, and don't know yet if it worked. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/well-im-officially-out-this-month-now-what#post-1277511 Thu, 12 Dec 2013 16:04:07 +0000 CatchAFallingStar 1277511@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Well, some of you saw my posts about implantation bleeding, etc. It was just plain ol' AF. Onto the next cycle. I'm tying to decide if I want to do another round of Clomid (would be my third) or acupuncture... or both.</p> <p>I ovulate regularly on my own, but the Clomid is supposed to produce more/better quality eggs. </p> <p>Any thoughts, advice, etc.? Has acupuncture done it for anyone? Should I switch from Clomid to Femera? </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/if-did-femera-from-last-cycle-cause-early-o-this-cycle#post-760416 Fri, 03 May 2013 17:40:15 +0000 mrs. bird 760416@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@mrswin: I could be wrong, but I think femara is generally better at getting women to O a single good egg, hence the much lower twinning rate when compared to clomid which stimulates the ovaries to often have &gt;1. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/if-did-femera-from-last-cycle-cause-early-o-this-cycle#post-760357 Fri, 03 May 2013 16:42:37 +0000 mrswin 760357@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@spaniellove: Yes 12.9 but I am in Canada so maybe they use a different measurement like you suggested. I just know it was low but just boarder line from what my doc said. Your RE seems to think outside the box, where I feel like my RE just follows "typical" protocol for treatment.</p> <p>@mrs. bird: Thanks. If we decide to do another cycle then I will ask about adjusting the start date but I didn't respond well to Femera only getting 2 follicles the first cycle and one huge one the next. They were talking about me trying Clomid but I'm not sure because some RE's don't recommend Clomid for endo..... </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/if-did-femera-from-last-cycle-cause-early-o-this-cycle#post-760296 Fri, 03 May 2013 16:07:20 +0000 mrs. bird 760296@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>femara leaves your system quickly, unlike clomid. it's completely gone within 2 days i believe. it hasn't made me O that early, but i wasn't Oing prior to taking it. I've Oed around day 15 when doing a 5 days treatment starting on day 3, but i've heard of other people starting on day 5 to allow more time for the follicle to develop so maybe you'd do better on that schedule. def something to ask your dr about. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/if-did-femera-from-last-cycle-cause-early-o-this-cycle#post-760262 Fri, 03 May 2013 15:44:37 +0000 spaniellove 760262@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@mrswin: Your AMH was 12.9? And not 1.29 or .129? Oh wait...are you in a country that uses different units of measurement? I asked about all these things because I tend to ovulate early too (between CD11 and 14), and my new RE commented that the egg might not be maturing completely. Sure enough, the one cycle that I ovulated late was the cycle I had a BFP. I think he wanted to just do ultrasounds and minimal amounts of meds (like Ganirelix to hold off ovulation) to see if he could get the follicle to mature around the right time. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/if-did-femera-from-last-cycle-cause-early-o-this-cycle#post-760240 Fri, 03 May 2013 15:34:36 +0000 mrswin 760240@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@spaniellove: Based on my notes my AMH was 12.9 when it was tested. My first IUI my follicles were 18mm and 22mm at trigger and the second I only got one follicle that was 26mm at trigger. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/if-did-femera-from-last-cycle-cause-early-o-this-cycle#post-760213 Fri, 03 May 2013 15:12:11 +0000 spaniellove 760213@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@mrswin: I have a couple more questions for you in that case...do you remember how big your follicles were when you triggered for IUI? And do you know what your antral follicle count is? </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/if-did-femera-from-last-cycle-cause-early-o-this-cycle#post-760204 Fri, 03 May 2013 15:09:30 +0000 mrswin 760204@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Mrs.Someone: Oh I didn't even think about that possibility...</p> <p>@TheReelDeal: I thought I had read something similar online before but I couldn't find it.</p> <p>@spaniellove: I didn't notice an fertile CM which is why I didn't track any although I generally don't have much anyway. I have talked to the RE about my early O and he was pretty non-committal but given that my AMH was a bit low so it could be that too.... </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/if-did-femera-from-last-cycle-cause-early-o-this-cycle#post-760177 Fri, 03 May 2013 15:01:46 +0000 spaniellove 760177@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Your temps are definitely rising...did you have any fertile CM? Are you being monitored this cycle or are you using OPKs? CD7 sounds early but I noticed you do tend to O early so being a few days earlier could put you around there.</p> <p>ETA: Has your RE said anything about your tendency to O early? </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/if-did-femera-from-last-cycle-cause-early-o-this-cycle#post-760168 Fri, 03 May 2013 14:57:47 +0000 TheReelDeal 760168@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>It's very possible. Drugs like Femera and Clomid can stay in your system for up to 6 weeks and impact your unmedicated cycles. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/if-did-femera-from-last-cycle-cause-early-o-this-cycle#post-760163 Fri, 03 May 2013 14:54:55 +0000 Mrs.Someone 760163@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>No idea about Femera, but Progesterone does prolong AF from starting, even though the egg will start developing. It could be a reason why this happened? </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/if-did-femera-from-last-cycle-cause-early-o-this-cycle#post-760147 Fri, 03 May 2013 14:50:24 +0000 mrswin 760147@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Does anyone know if taking Femera the last two cycle would have cause me to ovulate really early this cycle?</p> <p><a href="http://www.fertilityfriend.com/home/mrswin" rel="nofollow">http://www.fertilityfriend.com/home/mrswin</a></p> <p>Based on my temps it looks like I may have ovulated on CD7 (WTF??!!) but I don't this FF can determine a coverline since I didn't temp through AF. I have always ovulated CD12-15 during un-medicated cycles so this is throwing me off big time. </p> <p>Any thoughts? </p>
