    11 dpo, BFN. I'm going out of town for business the next couple of days, so I won't get to test again until Saturday AM. I'm sure AF will show before then, though.

    I had a false positive that tripped me up yesterday but a negative today -- I'm pretty sure I'm out for this month!

    @MrsDragon: false positive? Like an Evap line?

    @doxielove: fx for you!!!

    @Ajsmommy: Good luck! Symptom spotting is so hard, even when we try hard not to!

    Im at 11DPO. BFN yesterday, I'm trying to keep my hopes up.

    @Crystal: a line that was pink and in the right spot but retrospectively too thin -- and nothing today. Super weird, and nothing I have experienced before, but I googled the batch # and apparently it's a thing.

    @MrsDragon: ugh!!! That's awful!!!! Any signs AF is coming? Can you test again tomorrow?

    @Crystal: I can't really tell -- I've had some cramps and sore boobs which is probably an AF thing? I'll take a test Sunday if it isn't here but I'm 99% sure I'm not pregnant.

    @AmeliaBedilia: praying for you!!! Lots of good, healthy, mature eggs!!!

    @mrsdragon: I'm sorry! That's just the worst!! Praying your not out and your get your BFP!

    @crystal: @doxielove: Praying for you girls!! How are you feeling?

    Trigger tonight and IUI Fri!!

    Well, I wish I had a more positive update. I'm spotting. Looks like IUI #2 was a bust. DH is adamant about NOT doing a 3rd IUI. I have to respect his wishes. I know I wouldn't want to be forced into doing fertility treatments I didn't want to participate in! After much discussion, our "compromise" is going to be doing one last cycle of letrozole + TI + P beginning 3 dpo. Feeling blah. This is it.

    @Winnie13: So exciting! If I don't sign on before Friday, BEST OF LUCK!!

    @AmeliaBedilia: Prayers headed your way!!

    @MrsDragon: Damn, I've never personally experienced an evap, but I can't imagine how frustrating that must be! Hopefully you get an answer either way over the next few days!

    @MrsDragon: I hate that pms and early pregnancy symptoms are so close. Fx for you!

    @AmeliaBedilia: all my fingers and toes are crossed for you! I miss chatting with you.

    @Winnie13: fx for you IUI! Doing anything special after like acupuncture? I'm doing ok, trying to figure out what's going on with my body. I had lots of pink spotting yesterday at 10DPO. Now I'm having the tiniest bit of brown cm. I'm really hoping that it's not AF arriving early and that my LP is getting even more worse. I did take a test yesterday and it was a bfn. I'll test again tomorrow.

    @doxielove: I am so sorry, friend. I really hope this is it for you. Do you think he might just need a few month break? Have you spoken to your re about your husbands concerns with continuing treatment?

    @Crystal: Praying!!! Keep us updated!! Hoping it was implantation spotting!! I will actually be going back to work!! Work is my happy place (I'm a kindergarten teacher) and calms me down. The kicker is we have Spring Break all next week, so a week to think about it all!!!

    @doxielove: 2 IUI's back to back is a lot. Emotionally and physically. Are you being monitored aside from OPK?? Have you thought about maybe being a little more aggressive? I cab understand DH not wanting to see you go through it again. It's just too much sometimes. Have a safe trip! Hoping for your BFP!

    Trigger was a breeze! Didn't even feel it! DH did great!! Just trying to get through the day nice and calm! So far, it's not working!! 😂😂

    @MrsDragon: ugh my heart aches for you. I had this happen last March with a frer. I posted and everyone congratulated me and the next day it was a BFN. So cruel. My fingers are still crossed for you though.
    @AmeliaBedilia: I miss you too. I hope your retrieval goes amazing. Can't wait to hear the stats. Are you planning on a fresh transfer or do you have to wait and see?
    @doxielove: oh no I hope this isn't it. It sounds like a good compromise but maybe DH just needs a break from the medical field for a few months.
    @Winnie13: bed wishes for your IUI Friday. I hope this is your month!!
    @Crystal: that spotting sound promising to me. Good luck on your next POAS. I am always rooting for you!

    Good luck ladies. I'm just twiddling my thumbs trying not to think too much about things and go for my first scan on the 18th.

    @MrsDragon: ughh how frustrating!
    @AmeliaBedilia: good luck!! I am an IVF thread lurker and I am truly praying for you!
    @Winnie13: yay for an easy trigger. And hoping for an easy IUI tomorrow
    @doxielove: so sorry to hear... hugs!! I totally understand where your dh is. We are on our third TI and if I get BFN tomorrow I'm not sure if we'll move on. We have an apt already set for next Tuesday if I do get bfn to go over what our RE would suggest to be our next step if we do move on... thinking of you! And really hoping maybe this last go will get you a BFP!
    @Crystal: still pulling for you!!

    AFM, today is cd12 and I was so close to testing but I held off bc I am sooo afraid to see that negative again. I was planning to test tomorrow but now I am thinking I'll hold off til Saturday b/c if its BFN I won't be able to work or function tomorrow so..... IDK.. just feeling discouraged and I haven't even tested!!!!! Honestly, I don't have any symptoms either so that doesn't help. Although I didn't really have any symptoms w DD. Just feeling

    Only 5 eggs. RE had estimated 8-10 mature. He is baffled at how the quality of the follicles that looked really good on the scan turned out so badly. I'm devastated.

    @AmeliaBedilia: I'm so sorry. Lots of love to you.

    @AmeliaBedilia: praying your golden egg is one of those five!! It only takes one!!

    @Winnie13: @delight: @Ajsmommy: temp dropped drastically today. I tested again (because why not) and it was a BFN. I'm 99.9% sure I'm out.

    Now I need to find a new dr.

    I'm throwing a pity party for myself today. I'm so tired of this. It's made even harder by the fact that I just passed my EDD.

    @AmeliaBedilia: I'm so sorry it's not what they expected. I really hope the magical egg is in there! Are they doing a fresh transfer this cycle or freezing them first?

    @Ajsmommy: Saturday testing sounds like a good plan. FX for you!

    @FaithFertility: thanks.

    @delight: good luck with the scan.

    @Winnie13: I'm so glad the trigger was easy! Good luck!

    @AmeliaBedilia: I'm so sorry!! Praying you get a strong, healthy, fertilized egg! It only takes one!

    @ajsmommy: Excited for you!!! Keep us posted!! Maybe no symptoms is a good thing!!

    @crystal: I'm sorry! It's beyond disappointing. I think you are allowed those days, just don't stay there. Your body just may need a little more then just the medicine. Praying you find a new doctor who is a little more aggressive. Have you considered doing injectables and TI like ajsmommy. It's not as aggressive as IUI, but it's a step up for sure!!

    Hi ladies... well my temp spiked this morning so I decided to test since today was my original plan anyway (and it's a significant day to me)... and I got this...

    a few things:
    FMU
    this is almost immediately after
    I don't know what brand test it is

    I'm not sure ..... is there a line or not?? DH said he saw a line. I am 13 dpo so if there is a line is it too light?? You tell me your thoughts bc I trust you guys!!!

    @Ajsmommy: wow! I see something! My fingers are crossed so hard for you. Can you go get a FREr?

    @Crystal: how are you doing? Hoping your temp went back up.

    @AmeliaBedilia: sorry about your egg count. I really hope you get a good report today.

  27. Ajsmommy

    pomegranate / 3355 posts

    @delight: yes, I should have added that I have wondfo's i'll be peeing on later and I plan to go buy FRER to use tomorrow.

    I'm just really hoping this is it! Praying and crossing all my fingers and toes! I wish it was a really dark line.....

  28. delight

    pomelo / 5326 posts

    @Ajsmommy: well it looks like a dollar store or something and they don't have dark lines until after AF is missed for me. Good luck!!!

  29. mrsmacandcheese

    blogger / clementine / 985 posts

    @Ajsmommy: I see something!

    My period arrived yesterday -- super early -- so I'm out for this month, and not understanding my body at all.

    grapefruit / 4028 posts

    @Winnie13: we'll get there, but aren't ready to do it yet. We want to let Clomid run its course. In June, were planning to move to IUIs. I'll definitely get in a better mental headspace (I'm already feeling better today).

    @Ajsmommy: I see it! Get a frer!

    @delight: I gave up on temping. It never goes back up after it falls. I give up this month.

    @MrsDragon: I'm sorry. What dpo did it start? Take some time to be nice to yourself.

    pomelo / 5326 posts

    @Crystal: sorry. I keep hoping for you. I'm sorry for the disappointment.
    @MrsDragon: ugh what a crappy end to this cycle for you. Better luck this time.
    @Ajsmommy: dude I'm on the edge of my seat!!

  33. Ajsmommy

    pomegranate / 3355 posts

    Idk... Stark white on a wondfo I took mid morning

    I'm picking up a frer on my lunch break to take tomorrow morning

    Pray for me friends!!!!

  34. Crystal

    grapefruit / 4028 posts

    @delight: thank you. I'm trying so hard to be hopeful, but truth be told I'm just tired of all of this. I know that attitude won't help me (us) finally be successful.... I just really want happy news for once.

  35. mrsmacandcheese

    blogger / clementine / 985 posts

    @Crystal: 10dpo. So on the shorter end of things -- we'll see how the next cycle plays out I guess! It's just weird to me because I have been SO regular until the last few months, but it's not wildly fluctuating.

    @Ajsmommy: I hope it's just a urine dilution thing!

  36. delight

    pomelo / 5326 posts

    @Crystal: I get it. I have cried many tears over the past year and a half and I know you've been trying for longer and also suffered losses. I hope you get your happy news soon.

  37. Winnie13

    kiwi / 501 posts

    @Crystal: I completely understand that. Praying for you!! Hopefully you never have to try an IUI. Hoping you find a good doctor soon! It's hard to find the positive when you feel like your in a sea of negatives. Keep swimming girl!

    Ajsmommy: So exciting!! Praying!!! Hoping for a super dark line in the morning!!

    Thanks for all the well wishes! IUI went well. Super fast! I'll start progesterone on Sunday! Officially in the TWW!! ☺

  38. Ajsmommy

    pomegranate / 3355 posts

    Well, there's no line on the frer this morning with fmu. So I'm gonna say I'm out..... Again.

    Sorry for the false hope! Ugh
