What are you doing to get knocked up? BBT, PNV, CM, sex sometimes
RRCS: The OB/GYN called me back yesterday. She is mildly concerned with the lengths of my cycles. She said the spotting is most likely related to progesterone issues and not something more serious. She didn't think it was worth working up because I'm not AMA or overweight. Attributing most of it to my body just trying to figure itself back out after the IUD.
She was happy that I was charting and tracking everything though. She basically said if in 6 months (from IUD removal) they don't get more normal then to get back in touch with her.
She offered to give me Clomid my next cycle if I wanted. Which I felt is kind of extreme but I know nothing about it.
GTKY: What's your favorite shot ?? (Whiskey, Tequila, Specialty, etc.) Stop Light : melon liquor, amaretto, and grenadine layered in a shot glass.

What are you doing to get knocked up? BBT, OPKs
RRCS: I want to cry. My HSG was supposed to be scheduled for Friday morning and I got a message a little bit ago that the doc is booked and they can't schedule it until next Wednesday. But I'll be out of town (which I told them yesterday) so that means no HSG for me this month. So I missed my chance for a medicated cycle this month and if I get the HSG next cycle, that means no medicated cycle that one either. After that, I have one cycle before calling it quits and this journey ends. Yesterday, they made it sound like Friday wasn't a problem. If I had known, I would've opted at least for meds w/TI.
GTKY: What's your favorite shot ?? (Whiskey, Tequila, Specialty, etc.) It's very rare that I do shots but if I do, it's gotta be tequila.
sleepymonkey, sorry, that is really frustrating. Can you call them back and see if they can still squeeze you in?

What are you doing to get knocked up? Not much right now.
RRCS: I am determined to get back into shape.
GTKY: What's your favorite shot ?? (Whiskey, Tequila, Specialty, etc.) My last shot was probably back in college. I do sometimes enjoy soju, which is kind of similar to vodka but lower abv.

What are you doing to get knocked up? BBT, pnv, just started Opk, cm, and EOD sex
RRCS: blah.
GTKY: What's your favorite shot ?? (Whiskey, Tequila, Specialty, etc.) I'm old and can't handle straight shots of liquor anymore. So give me anything that's fruity and delicious.

PirateCat, I left a message for them and am waiting for them to call me back. I'm hoping it's just a misunderstanding on the part of the scheduler. The RE and his nurse said that they were going to try to schedule it for 10AM on Friday. He is usually only at the hospital on Wednesday and Friday afternoons but I think he was going to make an exception for me since I'm going on vacation next week. I'm hoping the scheduler just didn't know that and looked at his Friday afternoon schedule and said he wasn't available. Of course at this point, they've probably been scheduling patients at the office for Friday morning so I may be out of luck anyway. Unfortunately, his office is 20-30 minutes from the hospital so it's not like he can just pop over to do the HSG.
ourcrazynavylife - How long have your cycles been? It does seem a tad drastic for your OB to offer Clomid at this point. I'm not an expert by any means, but I know Clomid can be dangerous if you take it without being properly monitored. It always surprises me how some OB's are so willing to prescribe it.
sleepymonkey - I'm so sorry, that whole situation sounds so frustrating. Is there any way that you could call them and explain the situation and ask that they squeeze you in before you go OOT? ETA: FX that it was just a mistake and they call you back with good news.
ourcrazynavylife, Are you AMA? Don't get Clomid from your OB. There is an excellent article on the 3T Newbie blog about Clomid and OBs/REs. If you're not AMA, you shouldn't be pursuing any IF treatment until 1 year. The guidelines for long cycles are >60 days. It's annoying to go 40+ days, but still within the normal range.
sleepymonkey, I am so sorry. Keep calling until you get someone who will actually speak to the doctor and try to get it scheduled. I really hope you can get it taken care of.

What are you doing to get knocked up? BBT, CM, CP, Sex
RRCS: I just hate WTO. That is all.
GTKY: What's your favorite shot ?? (Whiskey, Tequila, Specialty, etc.) I used to be a tequila girl, but I pretty much avoid liquor now. I don't mind it, but it doesn't taste good so I don't seek it out. Margaritas, though....yum.
I agree with everything ironbaby said. I also have 40-ish day cycles with mid-cycle spotting and it's annoying AF, but my OB has never expressed any concern.
ETA: I hope in your case it's just due to regulating from having the IUD removed and your cycles become more "normal"!

I'm glad they resolved that for you sleepymonkey !!

What are you doing to get knocked up? BBT, OPKs next week
RRCS: I'm curious to see if this cycle's pre-O temps are similarly erratic. The line was so nice and smooth post-o, but the last 3 mornings are all over the place again. No real question, just something I was thinking about.
GTKY: What's your favorite shot?? (Whiskey, Tequila, Specialty, etc.) Lemondrops or tequila
I'll just echo what everyone else said ourcrazynavylife. Clomid can do crazy things to your body, plus there is a lifetime limit on the cycles you can take it. I hope you don't ever need it but I'd hate to see you burn through those cycles now, so early in the game and unmonitored. I am very sorry that your cycles have been so inconsistent though and I hope your body regulates soon.
I was happy to see your update sleepymonkey! I hope all goes well on Friday. I'll be thinking of you.
What are you doing to get knocked up? OPKs, CM, PNV, Vit D
RRCS: nothing new today.
GTKY: What's your favorite shot ?? (Whiskey, Tequila, Specialty, etc.) I haven't done shots in a long time! But I used to love chocolate cake shots - I think it was Absolut Citron, frangelico and sugar on the rim.
RRCS: Still waiting for a positive OPK. I thought for sure I would get one this morning but nope. Starting to freak out about timing again.
GTKY: What's your favorite shot ?? (Whiskey, Tequila, Specialty, etc.) oh man I haven't taken a shot in a long time! I used to love lemon drop shots. The sugar rim is key!

ourcrazynavylife, I know how hard it is to wait but if the IUD was hormonal, I'd give it at least the 6 months to a year to regulate. If you do end up with meds, insist on being monitored! sleepymonkey, ughhhhh that is so annoying! Glad you were able to get it scheduled though!

What are you doing to get knocked up? Baseline appt tomorrow to hopefully start Femara
RRCS: Just waiting...
GTKY: What's your favorite shot ?? (Whiskey, Tequila, Specialty, etc.) I haven't done a shot in a long time. Definitely not tequila or whiskey! I used to do vodka or rum shots in college. Now it would probably have to be some fancy flavored one.
