GKU informal IF check-in 5/2

[kawaiikitsune]

GL today, Evelyn3.

[Evelyn3]

So I seem to have a 16mm follicle/cyst hanging around.
Did b/w to see if it's excreting progesterone and will find out later today if we are cancelled for this month or not...

[kawaiikitsune]

So sorry Evelyn3, hopefully you will not have to cancel.

[wannabmama]

Fx you don't have to cancel Evelyn3 !!!

[JustJudy]

Not pregnant. Moving on to IVF but the doctor I want to use is booked out until Aug 5th for an initial consult. Obviously, that makes me feel like she's going to be awesome but fuck, that's forever away.

[ohinvrtedworld]

Evelyn3 FX that it won't be cancelled!
JustJudy I'm so sorry

[Evelyn3]

I'm so sorry JustJudy. The wait does suck, but hopefully it's worth it and she's really awesome

[snakefisherbub]

Hi ladies! Lots of love and hugs for all of you. Extra squishy one for you though JustJudy,

AFM: I think I found a clinic I might want to try out and it's close to work/home! I was impressed with their website. I haven't pulled the trigger just yet but most likely will in the next couple of days. Getting back in the game yo.

JustJudy I'm sorry you have found yourself moving onto IVF. FX the time passes quickly and August is here before you know it.
snakefisherbub Yay, how exciting!

[wannabmama]

I'm so sorry JustJudy time passing while we wait is so agonizing!

[teachermomtobe]

JustJudy *hugs* Sorry for the BFN and I hope the RE is worth the wait!

[thechickencoop]

JustJudy {{hugs}} I'm so sorry about your BFN and the wait for the RE.

Rama Good luck this upcoming cycle!!!

wannabmama Good luck at the RE tomorrow.

jense927 I'm so sorry you had a shitty weekend but thank goodness you had those ultrasounds! That's a lot of freaking follicles. 

easilyunamused Crossing everything for you this cycle!!

hydrangea1019 Congrats on the new job! Do you know if you will have better insurance IVF coverage there?

ohinvrtedworld {{hugs}} hon. I'm glad you and your H are on the same page with moving forward; support means sooo much.

siouxsieq family gossip is the.WORST. 

teachermomtobe eek! Keep us posted tomorrow!

lilsneezy I hope your acupuncture helps!

cateyes So happy for you guys!

kawaiikitsune I am SO.HAPPY that your records were sent. SHEESH. And I would absolutely see if the procedure can be done through your gyn or pcp and coded from their office vs an RE. Ugh.

Oh I hope you don't have to push your FET a cycle Evelyn3; fingers crossed.

I hope you have an amazing time in Italy ceejay!!

Hey ladies, I think i'm back too. I think...
It appears I lost my sex drive somewhere between Upstate NY and my MIL's house. We're still having sex a couple times a month, but i'm just in rut about it.
So we'll see what happens.

[thelittleredm]

I'm sorry you have to wait so long @feedyouhead.
@wallflwr926, I'm in the same stupid rut, too.

[Evelyn3]

@wallflwr926 sorry about the rut

[ohinvrtedworld]

@wallflwr926 ugh sorry about the rut. I know how that feels a little bit.

[ohinvrtedworld]

I officially sent an appointment request with the office I think I want to go to! We will see what they say! I'm nervous because we are blessed with many offices to choose from in our metro area, and it's so hard to pick which way I want to go.

This one is in a convenient place for me and gets really good patient feedback on the staff and doctors being very caring and helpful, and good statistics. So I think we will go with them for now as soon as I hear back! Eep!

Quoting myself... it's in two weeks! Omg that was fast. So the receptionist who called me gave me the procedure & diagnosis code they will be billing my first appointment with to our insurance but said that we likely have to meet our deductible before coverage starts for any of the testing or treatment.

Did she give me the code info just to have on hand in case I ask my insurance about anything? Since I guess we will have to pay for the fee anyway, I just wasn't sure why I got all that info if it wasn't going to be covered by our insurance yet. Or something. 

[cateyes]

We officially got word the attorney is working on our docs! And they also took out the lawyers fees. Takes forever to save for shit and 2 seconds to take it! Now just eagerly awaiting the paperwork to be done!

32 days til June 6th!

[teachermomtobe]

ohinvrtedworld, yay for getting an appt quickly! I wouldn't listen to the receptionist about coverage since every plan is so different. Call your insurance company with the code and see what they say just so you know what kinds of costs you'll be facing.

[teachermomtobe]

Negative betas today. A little expected but still very sad. We have an IVF consult at the end of the month and we'll do one more IUI cycle while we wait for that. They said to stop the progesterone (obviously) but that would mean I get my period while out of town this weekend. FU infertility, I'm taking my Crinone tomorrow morning to delay my period one damn day. It's my present to myself.

[ohinvrtedworld]

I'm sorry teachermomtobe FU infertility indeed. I am punching it in the c-u-next-tuesday for you.

So I had a follow up prolactin because it was elevated perviously, which was now normal, and a 7 DPO progesterone which was 11.9. The nurse was acting like that was elevated and abnormal, but from everything I can find it is perfectly normal and shows that I ovulated. I have to call back in around noon to speak with the RE once she's reviewed the bloodwork to discuss our next steps, either scheduling an endo biopsy for tomorrow or Monday,or...I don't know.

So...what's your guys experience with 7 DPO progesterone?

[easilyunamused]

Huge hugs teachermomtobe. IF really sucks.

That seems normal to me. Are you doing a medicated cycle? I *think* most REs want to see 10+ for unmedicated cycles and 15+ for medicated cycles. Supposedly anything over 3 indicates ovulation.

That is pretty much what I read also. No, not medicated. This is the first cycle of actual testing.

Then I think you're in the normal range. I never had a 7DPO progesterone test done during an unmedicated cycle. I had it done during medicated cycles and it came back at 50 something both times and my RE wasn't concerned.

Well they just called back, it's actually on the low end of what they like at 7 DPO so I'm starting on suppositories today in case were KU.

Endo biopsy is postponed til next cycle because we hit 5 dpo and that's too close to call for them. I guess that makes sense but I reeeally doubt I'm KU this cycle. ::shrug::
