@Sprite: I'm so sorry. I hope your RE is able to find the right dosage for you the next time around. Did you do a CD3 baseline?

@Sprite: ((hugs)) I'm sorry...

Thanks so much for the support ladies. I can't say I'm feeling much better this evening, but what can you do. IF sucks.

@Happygal: yes, it was my first monitoring appointment, other than my baseline ultrasound. I was on what I gather is a less standard protocol of femara days 3-7 and not starting gonal-f until day 7, so they schedule the monitoring after 3 days on injects. My lining was pretty much nothing, apparently. AF has always been really light, never more than 3 days, so maybe this is an ongoing issue. After discussing it with my husband, I think we're just going to wait and go again next cycle with different dosing.

@mrswin: thanks, I hope so too! Yes, I did a baseline on CD3, but was just told all was well, no cysts, and sent on my merry way.

@TheReelDeal: @LindsayInNY: thanks ladies

@SweetiePie: I like the way your RE thinks, with the frequent monitoring. This was only my second ultrasound of the cycle, after 5 days on femara and 3 days of gonal-f. I am really going to push for more monitoring next cycle though, especially now that this new problem with my lining has cropped up. My RE keeps trying to be mindful that our insurance doesn't really cover much of anything, and I keep telling her we don't care, but I'm guessing that's why they only had me come in on CD3 and CD10.

@Sprite: @SweetiePie: my RE did that close of monitoring for my first injectable cycle. I went in early and they did blood work as well. They saw I wasn't responding the way they wanted, so they bumped my meds. Definitely push for closer monitoring as you're working through figuring out what works for you!

@Sprite: my periods have been really light in the last few years or so as well. My lining has only thickened up through injectables, but it does get there! I'm sorry again this cycle was a wash for you.
