@LAZB: might ask for vaginal next month. π€·ββοΈ
Took another test today and nada again, so I think it's safe to call it.

@MamaBear87: @Kaohinani: I emailed my dr today and among many things asked if we're at the end of the road that he's involved. I haven't heard back yet, but I imagine some major decisions will have to be made in the next couple months.

@Sams Mom: I hope everything works for the best. Honestly, you getting your BFP would be phenomenal , but if you HAD to see a RE for further testing (and to discuss "possible options"), it couldn't hurt. I feel so vindicated in yesterday's visit to the RE ... I KNEW my lining must be a fraction thin (the light 2/3 AFs are a dead giveaway) and lower estrogen for an INDIVIDUAL, even if in the normal range for a POPULATION, can cause issues in generally fertile women. The RE was confirming my suspicions and affording DH and I a plan to move forward based on the results of further tests (which we are awaiting the results of.). I will admit, I'm pretty d#mn stoked! DH and I were so motivated we even brought in his "deposit" for examination FIRST THING this morning!
I suppose what I'm saying is not to look at this month or next month as an end to anything (* time with your OBGYN, a chapter in TTC, fertility meds, whatever), rather, a different chapter and a stepping stone to move on to the next place you need to go to get the baby you so dearly want.
* Sorry for the novella.

@Kaohinani: the reason I've fought moving on to an RE aside from cost is the closest one is 200+ miles away.

@Sams Mom: I get you. If we are cleared for IUI, it can be done at the clinic by me; however, if we have to move on to IVF, it has to be done 2 hours away where the embryos would be stored. I'm praying my AMH comes back the way it did 2 years ago (* spectacular), and DH and I are candidates for IUI simply because of the time DH and I would have to take off from work, time for travel, coordinating babysitting, and cost for IVF. We may ONLY be able to swing 2 tries of IVF ... IDK if it would be worth the cost of egg extraction at that point.
Just keep positive and remember, we are in the same boat.

@yellowbeach: I know it was only for "Sam's Mom's perusal" and all but the chart is up there so I'm looky-looing as well. FWIW, your temps look textbook for a traditional cycle and are VERY encouraging for a possible sticky BFP. It even looks as though you had a slight drop 6 dpo (which is normal) but a definitive dip from 6-7 which could be implantation. π€

@Kaohinani: oh lol - she had specifically requested an updated chart over on the ivf board, but I posted it here instead since I know how much we all like looking at stuff

@LAZB: tomorrow I will be 5dp5dt. I suppose I can test but just need to not expect much yet.

I somehow was able to have enough self control to not poas this morning! Tomorrowβs results canβt come soon enough

GREAT test results came back!!!
Keep in mind, my numbers were taken on the 1st day of AF, so both estradiol and progesterone will be far lower than during my "active" cycle:
CD 1 Results as follows: Normal
HCG- negative
Estro - 75
Prog - .04
AMH - 1.02 (* Great numbers for upper 30's/nearly 40)
FSH - 8.7
LH - 3.6
Prolactin - 5.15
TSH - 2.78
*** My cyst is just a corpus luteum cyst but I will still go in for a follow-up US ***
--- I have 3 follicles in my Right ovary this cycle.
DH's results: Normal
Concentration - 88 mil (* they look for 50 m)
Motility- 57% (* 40% is average)
Morphology- 11% Normal (7% is average)
We are APPROVED FOR IUI (* Happy dance πΊ
) and will begin discussing medication (injectable gonadotropins) options after this cycle!!!!
So flipping happy!

@Sams Mom: Thank you! I am soooooooo excited! A bit frustrated as well since the RE stated that with our numbers, technically, there SHOULD be no reason why we haven't conceived a 3rd child yet... but, that is what further testing is for. I'm going to think of this as an "adventure" and the path I'm meant to be on.

@yellowbeach: You know what will make @Kaohinani: , @LAZB: , and I even happier? If you pee on a stick tomorrow

@yellowbeach: I'm impressed by your willpower. I know our first IUI cycle, I'm going to be itching to test (feeding into Sam's Mom's stick gazing obsession. π€£) ... IDK how I may feel about testing if we need subsequent IUIs though. I may become test-shy again.
I can only imagine how you must feel each cycle knowing an embie is already there and just needs to implant. So stressful AND exciting at the same time! That would make me anxious and test-crazed.
Honestly, I secretly hope you POAS tomorrow and get a beautiful BFP; however, I know it may still be early and you may want to wait a couple more days. SO, no pressure from me.

BFN on the OSOM, but not FMU and only 4dp5dt. Will test again in the AM.
grapefruit / 4144 posts
@yellowbeach: I take back my previous post - You caved. I no longer am impressed by your willpower.
In all seriousness, you are UBER-early for testing. Your BFP is coming...
π€
nectarine / 2648 posts
@Kaohinani: I know no willpower AT ALL. At least is an early
and not a false
like last cycles, so Iβll take it for now.

Mannnnnnn, we're dragging butt over here.
I am counting the minutes down to the weekend. I was excited because we were supposed to get a pretty big snow storm, because then we could take our son sledding. Buttttt noooooo, the weatherman lied to us.
pomegranate / 3904 posts
@Kaohinani: your numbers look great! Iβm sure they will get you knocked up in no time over there
@yellowbeach: sorry about the bfn, but you are right, non fmu at 9 dpo was a long shot. Tomorrow will be more telling!

I tested this morning and got the faintest line - I have wondfos rn but I went out to buy FRER and will test again in the morning. I might be crazy - that line is blink-and-you'll-miss-it. AF is due Wednesday. I feel different than I have approaching AF lately, so fingers crossed -

@LAZB: Thank you, lazb! Knocked up is definitely the goal!
π€£ I'm hoping my lining isn't the problem though. π€ I've got to thicken her up a bit.
