::lurker:: @irish, I had to abandon ship on temping this round, the clomid / ovidrel had my temps all over the place, or a steady incline without a clear rise in temp. I attributed it to the clomid only - not temping or testing out my trigger this cycle in hopes I won't make myself as nutty

cateyes, Ahhhh so excited for you today! ironbaby, Yay for a good sized follicle. Boo for them telling you to get to the pharmacy far too early! I usually trigger around 18-20. ugaqueencity, CD17 does seem late. On Clomid I O'd on CD13, 16, and 19. I always start around CD10 or 11 for monitoring. I was also anovulatory and triggered on CD17 my first month. I would be nervous to wait until CD17 for my first check though. pinkcat, Yay for being able to move forward! My HSG was easy so hopefully yours is too! easilyunamused, Ugh sorry you had to deal with her and her insensitive comments yesterday. butlerfan, Hope you get the phone call soon! Rama, *hugs* for having a down day. Happens to the best of us. rooskie, shit's getting real! Yay! @yaga, Sorry for CD1 but glad you can move forward with testing kawaiikitsune, Hope they call you back soon to schedule your hysteroscopy
AFM, I don't know if this really requires a spoiler but I'll put it anyway:
I'm in beta hell right now. On Thursday @ 12dpo my betas were 7, Saturday @ 14dpo they were 18, today @ 16dpo they were 32. So they more than doubled from 12-14dpo and didn't quite double from 14-16dpo. And they are obviously low. So I go back for more blood work on Wednesday. It's pretty much just a waiting game right now. I feel like the writing is on the wall and if it's not going to be viable I just want to move on. Being trapped in this purgatory and trying not to get my hopes up gets harder each day that goes by.
cateyes - yay! How did the appointment go? I'm so excited for you!!!!!!!!!! wannabmama - hope your cycles cooperate so you can still go on your trip! ugaqueencity - CD17 would have definitely been too late to start monitoring on your first cycle, since your RE doesn't know how you will respond to Clomid. Glad you were able to get that sorted out and will be monitored earlier. (for my one Clomid cycle, I had my first monitoring appointment on CD11. I think my clinic always starts monitoring then since they didn't ask me when I usually O) pinkcat - glad that your first RE appointment went well! easilyunamused - I'm sorry things have been so confusing and frustrating for you lately. I hope your RE is able to help. butlerfan - so glad to hear things are moving along for you guys! I hope you hear from your licensing worker soon! Rama - I'm sorry you're having a down day. FX this cycle is successful for you. mustloveerica - it depends on the specific lab and test kit being used, but I think your AMH number should be fine. Mine was around 1.5 and my RE wasn't concerned at all. @irish - I agree with Rama and think that you probably O'd late Saturday night or early Sunday morning. Trigger tends to induce ovulation in ~36 hours, but it could be a few hours earlier or later. Your chart looks pretty clear that Saturday was O day, but it could have been very late in the day or after you were sleeping. I temped during my first (and only) IUI cycle and was able to see a clear temp shift. I triggered at 9:00 pm on a Sunday and O'd on Tuesday, ~36 hours later. teachermomtobe - I'm sorry you're still stuck in beta hell. FX for you and good luck at your next appointment on Wednesday.
Hi friends. Not much to report here. I'm 4 DPO in a natural cycle. Things with H have improved some lately and I think we're on track to do IUI #2 next cycle, assuming I'm not magically pregnant this cycle. We've almost met our deductible for the year (we did the high deductible plan and had to pay a ton for my HSG and first IUI cycle), so this next IUI will be a lot more affordable. Yay!
QOTW: I love flip flops. Unfortunately I have to wear close toed shoes in the lab at work, so I don't get to wear any type of sandals very often.
About 2:45pm. So it was fairly early. This is my first medicated cycle and I don't know what I'm doing lol. I'm mobile but here is a screen shot.
ETA now that I'm looking at it again I think when I put in a dummy temp the cover line was like 97.7 that is insanely high for me. My temps rarely go much past 98 post O
The temps can shift with treatment. Don't worry that it's not your normal range, you aren't doing a normal cycle!
I'm thinking you probably O'd early, early on Sunday morning. Probably around 3am, so it was long enough that you caught the shift in your chart.
Thank you! It was really throwing me for a loop but I think I'm just going to blow off temping the rest of this cycle so I don't make myself crazy. An early Sunday morning O would make me feel better than a Saturday O timing wise. RE told us trigger fri and sex sat and sun. Sat we had afternoon delight lol. H works on Sunday so we had to improvise, we had super early action before he left at like 330am and then late he came home at 1130pm lol.

ETA But Rama is wise
Rama is so wise!!
Thanks I'm going to quit temping I think. I am testing out the trigger because I have a tendency to be a POAS addict and if I test too early I won't know if it's real or trigger and then I will go crazy...

daisy818 Go lil' follie! ugaqueencity So glad your appointment went well and you got the monitoring situation worked out. caitost21 FX the time passes quckly! teachermomtobe So sorry you are in beta limbo. All the hugs. Crossing all the things for you! ceejay Glad to hear you & YH are in a better place. Yay for a much more affordable IUI!
We will have a 9/2 transfer date. The RE was totally trying to push us to do IVF as we are "such good candidates to not even try" (like totally missed the "do not have $20-30K to try and now we have these embies that are ours and we want!). Then when I said no we want the Embryo Adoption he was like "well you should really wait a year and lose some weight". He was like "due to your weight this has a 40% chance of success instead of 44%, I don't think you are making the right choice but will transfer as long as you know the risks". BUT had NO problem if we wanted to pay 20 grand for IVF and said we could get in next cycle for IVF. It seems all about money and not at all about my weight. I don't much like him but ultimately we get to cycle with our embies!!!
I am good with 9/2. There is so much happening in our life this summer between moving, starting to sell LuLaRoe to hopefully pay off some of our medical bills and student loans, and a new job that it isn't bad to wait a couple of extra weeks.
So yeah-9/2 transfer and a busy summer preparing ahead!!!!
I'm mobile so I will have to come back to tag but wanted to give a quick update. I believe I am 3 DPO, IUI was Friday and I am assuming that was O day. IUI didn't go great unfortunately... Sperm count was lower than last time but still good (20mill post wash) but all along when they were monitoring me they kept seeing a pocket of fluid near my lining. Well when they went in with the catheter it poked at the pocket and blood (the fluid) and probably the sperm came out as well. Ugh. I guess we still have a shot but just can't help but feel a bit defeated.
Update. Apparently I just had some intense spotting this morning. Now I'm just waiting for my period to arrive to schedule stuff. The cramping I had was probably just post surgical pain that was aggravated by some intense dancing this weekend. I'm quite annoyed.
cateyes – glad the appointment went great! Count down is on for 9/2!! wannabmama – good luck this cycle. The trip sounds like it will be a good experience too kayladawn91 – sorry your temps stink ironbaby & ugaqueencity – GL with the Clomid/IUI cycles this month! pinkcat – good luck Friday! It isn’t that bad – I think I say that every week?? easilyunamused – sorry for the OPP situation. butlerfan – YAY on getting everything set up!! Rama – good luck testing this weekend. onesweetworld – love you too!! @yaga – sorry for CD1. mustloveerica – GL with the IVF starting. I’ma stalk the crap out of you. kawaiikitsune – sorry your doctors don’t have their crap together. I’m jelly of your sandals all the time. daisy818 – come on little egg!! caitost21 –Welcome. Sorry you find yourself here. teachermomtobe – Sorry about the beta struggle. FX they start rising faster! ceejay – FX you don’t have to do IUI #2. snakefisherbub – yay for getting your appointment set up. jense927 – Sorry the IUI got messed up.
Today is definitely CD1, so it appears I probably did not ovulate (not temping but opk were all very negative and CM was all over the place). The surgery could have made things weird, too. I have to schedule an HSG today. I'll probably schedule my next RE appt to get started with treatments and get H's SA done by the end of the month.
QOTD. I love shoes. Flats, sandals, wedges (which is hilarious because I was such a wedge hater for years), heels, Sperry's. The only thing I don't care that much about are sneakers, but I do want a pair of simple vans or chucks. I'm lucky that my feet are small, otherwise I'd go broke buying shoes. (I'm a size 5.)
I'm size 4 in Converse. Otherwise, a size 6 or 6.5, so sales are awesome.
TTC since July 2014. CP March 2015. IVF #1 March 2016, 5R, 3M, 2F with ICSI. Transferred 2 on day 3. CP. Surprise BFP and then CP August 2016 (prep cycle for IVF). IVF #2: zero eggs retrieved IVF #3: 6R, 5M, 5F, 3 (2 8A and 1 11A) transferred, one "B" graded embryo frozen on day 5. BFP (at home 7dp3dt, confirmed 14dp3dt with 1552 beta) and U/S at 5w5d, 2 sacs and 2 yolks!

Up way too early to go to the REs. When I called about my situation yesterday, she said the dr wanted me to come in for a baseline. I guess to see what is going on? I don't know. The nurse told me I should have called when I had the heavy spotting. Lol I was like, I was always told when it was actual red flow. Communication is key here, and they seem to be lacking in that department.
easilyunamused, I am surprised they wanted you to call with spotting. My nurse always asks if this is real flow, not just spotting, when I call in.
Exactly. That's what I've always been told as well.
So the intital ultrasound shows I'm mid cycle. So the medication apparently didn't work, and I'm waiting on bloodwork to confirm. I'm guessing I'll wait this cycle out and start again on my real cd1.

I'd also be interested in some Lularoe if you start selling , hit me up! wannabmama I hope you can cycle in July and that your appointment yields good news! kayladawn91 sorry your temps are playing with you ironbaby sorry that the clinic is giving you the runaround with times! GL with this IUI! ugaqueencity I hope Clomid is kind to you! I think you were right to advocate for earlier monitoring. @irish welcome! hope your stay on here is short! pinkcat I'm glad that your appointment yielded normal bloodwork and that you can take some next steps! easilyunamused I'm sorry friend. It sucks feeling like time and sanity are wasted. And that's a hard OPP situation to sit through, ugh. butlerfan that sounds like so much work that you guys got done on the house, exciting that it's coming together! Rama hugs lady. I hope with my biggest hopes that you don't have to wait that long, and that this cycle is all you need! rooskie glad the ball is rolling for you!! FX that his SA gives them some little swimmers to save up! onesweetworld love you too!! @yaga I hope your HSG and your H's SA come back clear! Sorry for the whacky cycle you have right now. kawaiikitsune gosh, I hope this is the end of doctors & nurses not getting in touch with you and getting stuff done. Enjoy the natural cycle! daisy818 FX for you!! I hope this really was the little egg that could! caitost21 welcome! I hope your stay here is short! teachermomtobe I'm sorry about your betas I know it's hard to have hope, so I will send all of mine for you. ceejay yay for the next IUI being more affordable! snakefisherbub excited for you to get to take your next steps! jense927 I'm so sorry your IUI didn't go as planned. I hope just enough little guys made it in there to make it a success!
AFM: Hi y'all! We're in a natural cycle right now because we are out of town until July for work, so H will schedule an SA when we get back. I might not check in for the next few weeks unless something super crazy happens, but I am always around love-titting and rooting all of you on.
QOTW: My favorite shoes are a pair of Minnetonka moccasins I have -- they are comfy and match a lot of things. I love pretty much every kind of shoe but sneakers, they just aren't my style. I wear a lot of ballet flats, Toms, heels, sandals. My dream shoe is the Valentino Rockstud pump
