We finally made it to Indy and what a journey!!!! We got the call yesterday at 11am that our 2pm flight was cancelled. Waited while the operator rescheduled us to a 1pm flight out....cue panic and quick packing!!!! Get to the airport right on time and find out the flight is delayed 2 hours and we would miss our connections. Wait around while they reschedule our 4pm flight to 10:30 and make a bunch of plans to kill 6 hours in Chicago. Nope, stuck in Wisconsin for 9 hours. Flight finally leaves and we get to Chicago and to the gate 5 MINUTES to late and miss our connection. Cue anxiety and panic cause it is shot time (and not the alcoholic kind). So we found a family bathroom and I got my progesterone shot in an airport bathroom. Classy.
We got a hotel room because our re-rebooked flight didn't leave until this morning. Slept 5 hours, came back to the airport, and finally made it here. Going to pick up my Valium subscription and wonder around Indy killing time until bed.
T-minus 22 hours to transfer.
TL;dr-22 hours in an airport and a shot done in a bathroom and we made it to Indy!
Hey, can I ask, those of you who have used progesterone, have you ever missed a dose?
I missed mine this morning because we were rushing around like banchees and now I'm worried I'm screwing myself all up. I'm approx 8 dpo so....yea.
Like, do you think I'll start spotting early? I mean, obvs I hope I'm KU but I wouldn't know for the next few days anyways. Ugh.
Do you take it once a day or twice? I have missed a dose but took it twice daily so it didn't seem to affect anything. Could you take it now?
It's Crinone so just one tube in the am. I didn't remember that I had forgotten til I was at work :/
I guess I take it when I get home now...better late then never I spose.
ETA just to add that I could call our RE but I guess I really feel the progesterone is just a formality because nothing else was abnormal and my progesterone was really just the very low end of normal sooo.....yea.

Worst TCFer of the week award goes to me. It has just been so crazy at school this week!
Anyway, back for all the tags: ironbaby , Glad that the Femara is going better than the Clomid did. Is IVF off the table if this IUI doesn't work? butlerfan , WTF to your cousin. Seriously! butlerfan , Wow, you have done so much and are getting so close! I hope the Oct 11th meeting is the last one you need. @yaga , Hope your monitor appt went well and that Clomid is being nice to you thechickencoop , GL if you test this weekend. Also, WTF to your cousin's TMI post about the timing of conception!? Also, if I miss a dose of Crinone I usually start spotting/bleeding 36-48 hours after the missed dose. I also have super super low progesterone which I'm sure makes me even more susceptible. easilyunamused , Hope you had a great anniversary! @samrs22 , Glad you found out about the rubella immunity now! Hope your HSG went well today. snakefisherbub , So many hugs for you. Sending love! juliayadda , I've been thinking about you and wondering where you went. Congrats on the weight loss. Glad you're feeling ready to try again. lilsneezy , UGH to people talking about your IF. I hope you figure out what is going to be best for you as far as the baby shower. @cheeze , I hope your right ovary picks up the egg. I didn't even know that was possible by the way. Learn something new every day! akraus2015 , Hope your monitoring appt went well today. *hugs* for coming up on cycle 24. cjchio , OMG 9 vials! Hope you rest and are feeling better now. cateyes , You deserve a 3rd tag today for your transfer today
@cheeze , akraus2015, ironbaby : My FET is next week. I hope we all end up on J17!
Well, I just had a first - FF gave me a solid O day line... for tomorrow. Since I didn't temp when I was taking letrozole, I don't have enough temps, so I guess it's just based off CF and a positive OPK tonight. I apparently O early on letrozole (non-medicated cycles I usually O on CD16). Not getting an IUI but looks like I'll be on the same schedule as akraus2015, ironbaby, cheezee, and teachermomtobe. FX for us all!

No more meeting on October 11 but we have tbe final meeting and homestudy scheduled for October 27th. Our licenser is hoping to get as much of the paperwork typed up before that date because depending on what she has left to do by that date and her supervisor approving it it can take up to 60 days before officially licensed. She wants to condense that down as much as she can. So in 35 days from now these meetings will be over and we wait for it to be finalized. After it is finalized we meet and review it and make necessary changes and then we are licensed. So by end of the year at the latest.

We have done approximately 7 medicated cycles (including 4 with injections) this year. At this point we cannot afford to continue as everything is out of pocket.
The good news is I found a job in my field that pays 80%. Unfortunately it is a really crappy job where there is high caseloads and high turnover. I am so sad to leave my current job But I think I can manage the crap at the new one for a few years in order to have amazing benefits. Now I just have to apply!

Yay! So happy to see you have a pretty concrete timeline and a licenser interesting in expediting things.

Um, welcome?
I apologize! I post infrequently and mostly on wto or tww when I do post. I thought I had introduced myself on this board too at some point. I should have looked before I posted.
butlerfan , I'm happy you're finally getting towards the end goal. I've been seeing your updates over the months and you really deserve this process TO END and and get some children in your house!
thechickencoop what happened yesterday with your crione? did you spot or did you take it later and everything was OK ? I'm curious what it's like to be on that medicine. My RE said that when I do get pregnant I'm going to get put on it. But that was before any testing so I'm wondering what my progesterone levels are and if I still will be using that medicine I'm still waiting on many results
cjchio Can I ask a dumb question? why did you have to get blood drawn before CD1? what test is that for?
mp2007 , Good luck finding a job with better insurance coverage for IF.
It was fine ::shrug:: I took it when I got home from work aND had the smallest amount of spotting. Then just continued as normal the last two days with it, no more spotting. So...who knows.
Because I'm the worst with remembering things, why would your RE want to supplement progesterone if they don't know if yours is low? Is that standard at some practices? I forget what your diagnosis is.
I've been using Crinone for the last...4 or 5 cycles. It's been NBD. The cycle before that they prescribed me prometrium which was THE.WORST. Like, I had to leave work early because I felt like such shit.

Could they seriously draw this out any longer? Good grief.

@samrs22, my labs say Progesterone on them but my IVF paperwork calls it P4. My cd3 blood work didn't test progesterone. After O is when they usually want to test it to see if the levels are too low.
Did anyone have severe pelvic/ovary pain while taking clomid? I took my 4th dose of 50mg last night and I was having horrible pelvic pain. I only didn't go to the ER because a combo of Tylenol and advil made the pain bearable. It's still sort of there today, but not nearly as bad. I don't know if this is normal or not.
I had similar pain last cycle about a week after I did the trigger shot. It went away in a few hours, though.
I had pretty intense ovary pain with one of my IUIs on clomid. I learned at my monitoring appointment that I had 6-7 follicles growing on my left ovary which definitely explained the pain. Do you have a monitoring appointment coming up?
