Hellobee Boards

@ladybee: My appointment is at 745. All I know is that I'm going in for a beta test. No idea if I will find out results right away or get called a bit later. I wish I knew more.

@spaniellove: I tested out my trigger, and it took 10 days for it to be completely gone, so at 8dpo the test was completely white. But mine was gradually getting lighter each day, not staying consistent. Although, I didn't start testing until 4 or 5 DPO, so if you're testing earlier that might be why it's not changing yet.

@marionberry: I think generally they call you later in the day? Wishing you lots of luck tomorrow!

@MrsCB: 2 days ago I had a line that hadn't faded in a few days, and today (9 days since trigger, 8dpo) it's faint but still there. I guess tomorrow it should be gone?

@ladybee: when they did my other blood tests they called me about an hour later with results..so that may be what they do this time as well. I hope it's not a really long time we have to wait.
@spaniellove: is it ever possible for you to be so pregnant that your trigger never fades out and your hpt always shows a positive? I mean you had great numbers and tons of follicles, so I'm just curious.

@marionberry: if you test out the trigger it typically either gets lighter and goes away, or gets lighter then darker. I suppose if you implant early it could stay dark/get darker.

I had my appointment this morning to check on how things are going with the Clomid. I had two follicles - one measured at 20 and the other at 27.5! That sounds really large. They told me I responded well to the Clomid. It might be why I've been feeling so bloated and heavy. I got the call about my bloodwork results and it turns out I'm ovulating today so I had to do the trigger shot this afternoon and tomorrow is my IUI!. This is all going so fast - but then I know I'll be in that dreaded TWW and it will creep by.

Wish me luck tomorrow - here goes my first IUI!

@bluestriped bee: Did you do more than one cycle on Clomid? I'm just curious why this cycle is with Femara. Sending you lots of positive thoughts for this cycle!

@MrsCB: Thank you for the info. Just curious since I didn't do it myself.

@spaniellove: @kentuckygirl: Give a symptom update!!!

@marionberry: I may have had some dull cramps the past few days or I could be imagining things but my boobs are less sore than the past cycles when I have been on progesterone so it's hard to say! Do you have any symptoms? I am going to start testing out my trigger tomorrow morning. I was out of town this weekend with my parents and testing out the trigger just wasn't worth the effort. I anticipate still having a faint line tomorrow, so hopefully I'll see it finish fading out...and then fade back in

@sweetooth: That is a huge follicle! Lots of luck with tomorrow's IUI!!

@bluestriped bee: I hope this is the cycle!

@marionberry: I was warned that the progesterone supplements would cause a lot of symptoms so I'm trying not to symptom spot...plus I felt absolutely nothing after the trigger! But my boobs are just insanely painful, which must be the Endometrin.

@marionberry: I'm going to try and do absolutely nothing. Not even symptom spot. This is my 18th cycle, I'm kind of over paying attention to any details during the TWW. I'll be thinking SUPER positive thoughts for you tomorrow!

@kentuckygirl: Thanks! Hope you had a nice weekend with your parents and that you get good news soon!

@spaniellove: Thank you!

@spaniellove: I am also "over" POAS but my first IUI is giving me some hope again! I actually posted on the POAS thread for the first time in several months.

I agree with @kentuckygirl. I was do over it until this first cycle with iui. It really gave me a new sense of hope. If it's negative tomorrow I'll probably go back to being cynical again.

@marionberry: counting down the hours til your news!! Fingers crossed for you!

@sweetooth: good luck today!

@spaniellove: @kentuckygirl: @marionberry: I think it's just guarded optimism for me now But I really am filled with hope for so many of us on this thread!

@derevival: thanks! It was pretty easy to fall asleep since I was up early for my bloodwork appointment yesterday. But now I can't focus at all! I just want to get in there and get to it!

@bluestriped bee: I definitely didn't know about Femara until I heard about it on this thread. I'll probably talk with my doctor about it too, just out of curiosity. Thanks for the good luck!

@Shutterbug: @Jennimac: Thank you guys! I'm so excited to get this show on the road.

@bluestripped bee: my doctor is switching m from Clomid to Fermara. Clomid worked but I've had bad cramps all cycle and I've been really hot. He said Fermara doesn't come with side effects. He did say it was more expensive than Clomid but with our insurance it was actually less ($5). I'm nervous to switch of Clomid since it's working but my cramps are horrible. It appears that if Clomid worked, Fermara will too!

@marionberry: AAAH! What time is your appt?!? ETA: I see 7:45am but I don't remember which time zone you're in - Pacific?

@marionberry: Thinking of you with my fingers crossed!!!

@marionberry: Thinking of you today!!

@sweetooth: Good luck with your IUI!!!!!

Fingers and toes are crossed for everyone this cycle

@marionberry: I'm just sitting here hitting 'refresh'. I was just hoping they'd at least let you POAS so you have news faster than with a blood draw?!
