@kentuckygirl: hey! Today my estrogen was back up to 167, and my follicle grew from 17mm to 19.5mm (other was 15.5mm) so I'm doing the trigger tonight and IUI Monday
thanks for checking in!
-
@Mrs. Jacks: Yes, I agree, she has been great. Hopefully these are all the issues
-
@Shutterbug: Woo hoo! Glad to hear its still on
-
@LovelyPlum: I did yesterday BFN
so who knows I'm cycle day 32 .....I got to RE on Thursday if no period!
-
@Shutterbug: YAY, congrats! Good luck!!!! :))
-
@Shutterbug: yay!!! That is wonderful news!!! Best wishes!
-
@littleredhairedgrl: so sorry things are going rough for you
I hated my HSG, I can't imagine getting a needle "up there." @LovelyPlum: Omgeeeee! Crossing fingers and hoping for good news on Monday!
-
@Shutterbug: Awesome to hear everything is back on track!!!
@LovelyPlum: FX for you - good luck Monday!
-
@Mrs.Someone: @FaithFertility: @kentuckygirl: @spaniellove: thanks!! Although I totally chickened out with the trigger and my DH did it for me. I thought I could handle it but I just couldn't get over the mental block of jabbing myself!
-
@TheSwissWifeStyle: this cycle was my first using the pen for injections, and it really wasn't that bad. Once you get over the initial "omg I'm actually about to stab myself" thoughts, it's not that bad at all
@LovelyPlum: exciting news!! Keeping fingers crossed for you
@Shutterbug: awesome news that your E2 went back up and you were able to trigger. Good luck!
As for me ...
What cycle are you on/how long have you been TTC? 2 years in September
What are your plans for this cycle? AF decided to show up 1 week past my trigger - I have no idea what that means. We're taking a break for the month of August because the hubs is going to be out of town during prime BD time. I have an appointment to see the RE on August 6 (usually I just see a nurse practitioner)
How is your attitude/outlook? Kinda crappy. Such a disappointment for AF to show up so early after everything looked so good.
What have you struggled with most this week? AF, work being a major pain in my A--
What is your diagnosis? PCOS
What are your plans this weekend? Husband's aunt and uncle were over today for a BBQ - his aunt also has PCOS so we talked about that, and it was nice to talk to someone who gets it. Tomorrow is just a chill day. -
@just_ju: good to know, thanks for the info!
-
@Shutterbug: girl, don't feel bad, I don't even know how I will ever do it....lol GO YOU!
-
@Mrs.Someone: @Happygal: @Shutterbug: @raintreebee: @kentuckygirl: @TheSwissWifeStyle: @spaniellove: @just_ju: thank you all so much!
I was getting super nervous about the HCG draw tomorrow, that it would somehow come back negative. So I used my last FRER this morning, to get the crying out at home if it should come back poorly. But the line is dark! Darker than I've ever had a test be, actually. I was so excited. Tomorrow doesn't seem so scary anymore, though I am still a little nervous about the rate doubling. But I'm trying to only think good things!
@Shutterbug: good luck tomorrow!
@Mrs. Someone: good luck at your appointment this week.
@just_ju: I'm so sorry about AF. That has to be so frustrating. Hopefully your appointment can bring you some answers.
Is it OK if I keep hanging around here still??
-
@LovelyPlum: congratulations!!
-
@Leialou: Thank you!
When do you start your cycle??
-
@LovelyPlum: very good sign that your hcg is increasing beautifully! I'm 11 weeks and still hanging around here. I still need to cheer my ladies on and sometimes can answer questions. It's weird but I feel more comfortable here than anywhere else even now. Hopefully no one minds!
-
@LovelyPlum: @raintreebee: I love having you hang around here! Please do stay!!!
-
@LovelyPlum: Yay!! Congratulations!!!!
-
@LovelyPlum: good luck today! I'm sure you'll get a great result!!
-
Just got out of my IUI... She couldn't find my cervix so she dug around with the speculum for TEN minutes which hurt SO bad, but DH's #s looked good (52.8m post wash) so fingers crossed!
-
@Shutterbug: Fingers crossed for you! Describing the speculum "digging around" made me cringe. I hope you're feeling alright now. Great numbers! Just think lots of positive thoughts - and I'll help think positive too
-
@LovelyPlum: Congrats! Thinking good, doubling thoughts for you today! Also - I'm 22 weeks now and I still pop in on the IF group. It's a great group of women and I like to lend support when I can. I still relate better with those who have been through the same struggle I went through.
-
@LovelyPlum: Congrats!!
@Shutterbug: Glad the nurse finally found what she was looking for! LOL! Sending positive thoughts your way. -
@LovelyPlum: good luck w the beta testing!!!
-
Still waiting...I called the office about an hour ago, and they were not in yet. Waiting on betas is boring, and annoying.
Don't worry, my attempt to curb this nausea with constant snacking is keeping me distracted (ish)
-
@Shutterbug: Digging around and cervix are two things that should not go together! FX it was a good IUI otherwise!
-
@LovelyPlum: I'm thinking the nausea is a verrry good sign! You go ahead and distract yourself with cookies, and then come back and update us!
@spaniellove: haha thanks. I'm still crampy, ugh. I was seriously about to say 'can I try and find it?' Apparently I have a tilted uterus and my cervix was super high today.
-
@Shutterbug: Welcome to the Angry Cervix club, lol.
-
@LovelyPlum: So excited to hear your news!!!!! I say nausea is an awesome sign!!!!!!
-
@Shutterbug: yay, you did it!!!!!!!! FX for you!!!!!!!!
-
Well still no AF and BFN so I'm going to RE Thursday he will test to make sure I'm not PG but I doubt I am
I will most likely getbon progestrone to make AF show and then gonfrom there......ughhhhh sooo disapointed and I see 2 new pregos on my facebook feed.....super happy for themx but can't help the pit in your stomach feeling!!!
-
@FaithFertility: I'm sorry you have to resort to that! Hope the reset works as planned! And ugh to the announcements!
-
@spaniellove: Thank you!!!! I'm just really getting down on myslef........why can't my body work.......lol
-
When I called to cancel tomorrow's appointment I was able to snag a last-minute appointment for a consult tomorrow with the head RE - the one who suggested the questionable meds, but also felt we didn't need more than TI. Usually the wait to see him can be a couple months so when they told me he had an opening I took it. I want to see if he still feels that way and if he thinks I have polyps that should be removed (the other doctor was really dismissive of that idea).
-
@spaniellove: Good luck! Always good to get a second opinion!!!! What is TI?
-
@FaithFertility: TI= timed intercourse, so basically just plain old TTC.
-
@spaniellove: ahhh got ya
-
We decided to schedule a "second opinion" appointment with an RE on Thursday. And WOW, there sure is a lot of paperwork! I've already printed out my previous test results (a lot more paperwork). Poor trees... Looking forward to hearing her opinion though.
-
@Mrs.Someone: I'm excited to hear how it goes with the RE!
@LovelyPlum: any news?
-
@shutterbug: @spaniellove: I have a tilted uterus and hard to find cervix too! At my cervical ultrasound it took my ob a few mins to even find it on ultrasound. Crazy stuff!
@spaniellove: So glad you snagged an appointment with the head RE. Hoping all goes well!
@mrs.someone: Can't wait to hear about your second opinion.
@sweetooth: I agree that sometimes this group feels like one I can relate to more than others. IF is quite a bonding journey! Hope everyone doesn't mind me keeping tabs.
@lovelyplum: Any word?
@faithfertility: Seeing others get bfp's is the worst! Just try to think that one day you'll be getting yours and others will be taking your place, sitting in the same position you are now.
thanks for checking in!
so who knows I'm cycle day 32 .....I got to RE on Thursday if no period!
I hated my HSG, I can't imagine getting a needle "up there."
