mustloveerica Sorry about CD2. Good luck at your class tonight! mrsjene Good luck with your IUI on Wednesday! kariann12 Sorry about your FIL and your BFN. Sending you hugs! Keeping my FX for you Rama, goldenlove3, wanderingheart, Andrea, kaliRN, kawaiikitsune @bloodyjack87 So exciting! I hope you can get in their schedule ASAP! longhornwino0907 So sorry you are going through this. I think taking some time to travel is an awesome idea. Best of luck to you on your next adventure! renbee MH does his sample at home. We live about 45 minutes from my RE and she said just to keep it body temperature (between your legs or in your shirt) and it should be fine for at least an hour. Good luck to you! Daikoku My chart was out of whack for my IUI as well. Try not to over think it (easier said than done, right?). Keeping my FX for you! nerdykitten FX for you!! babycowbell I have everything crossed for you! piccyami That is so frustrating! FX that the Clomid and injections do the trick! mugster Good luck testing tomorrow! Enjoy your last day/night in Hawaii!
AFM, I'm on CD12. Nothing exciting to report except that I got the bill from my RE for our IUI and it's about $1,000 cheaper than I thought it would be! I only had to pay for the actual IUI and my insurance covered everything else. I'm so happy and relieved that we can try a few more times without it breaking the bank.

Hello my lovelies! I shall return to tag.
I am cruising along on Lupron and Estrace. Heading in for my first lining check on Thursday. I am starting to get excited, the thought of six of my little frosted flakes getting thawed from the ice age is motivating me to power through the next couple weeks!
Traveling and on mobile, but fx to all and big hugs to those who need them!
Not much to report here. This cycle might be a bust as I am traveling during my FW but we'll try to get it in right before and after I go to and from the airport we are meeting with our RE in a couple weeks to work out a tentative plan for the rest of the year.
Has anyone had an issue where no one seems to understand what's going on? The pharmacy doesn't understand why we need multiple syringes for multiple shots, so I tried to explain. They decided that we needed 10ml ones even though I expressed concern that that was awfully big and would introduce extra error for a 1ml shot. The RE's office doesn't understand why we need more syringes at all because she called my cell instead of my work number. I don't understand why no one seems to be able to communicate.
Edit: I just need to vent to someone. H is already frustrated by it all, MIL just thinks I should be patient because these things happen all the time, and my mom has decided that we should just start without the extra syringes.

I'm not going to lie, it would concern me if my RE's office doesn't understand why you need more syringes. If they're expecting you to reuse syringes that is a BAD idea.

She thinks we got the 3ml syringes and questioned why we needed more 10ml ones. I'm guessing they wrote the prescription to include them all. The insurance company expected us to re-use the one syringe. Or something. Their motivations are completely unclear beyond the fact that no one calls back when they say they will and they can't seem to dispense things they say they will. We're still missing the sharps container (believe it or not, I had to explain what that was to the weekend person answering the phone at the specialty pharmacy) and the alcohol swabs as well.
Edit: and I just realized that my previous post was badly worded. She seems to think we got exactly what she explained we would get.

So, is your issue with the pharmacy or your RE office? Either way, I'd call tomorrow and speak to a manager or somebody to get this all straightened out. Whatever you do, don't reuse syringes.
I had a Beta at 13 dpiui and it came back at 7 and they called me basically to tell me that there was absolutely no way that it would be viable and that I should prepare for AF and that they would repeat the beta today just confirm that it was going back to zero. So I spent much of the weekend sulking and being super emotional. Fast forward to this morning and today's beta at 15dpiui came in at 36.9 which is definitely way better than just doubling but still super low. My RE's office called and asked me if I could come in to pick up some progesterone suppositories so I started those tonight. I'm not really feeling optimistic because I've experienced beta hell that's lead to loss before. I'm back in for Beta again on Wednesday. I'm trying to balance being a realist with being excited that it is a BFP even if it is super low.
Sorry about the PNR I'll try to come back later and tag because mobile sucks but I read everybody's posts....
Lots of hugs to everybody who needs them, keeping my fingers crossed for everybody who's in the wait or needs good mojo.

I've left a message with the RE's office and I'll get a call back in the morning. That will get the RE figured out. I spent most of my Saturday waiting on the insurance company's specialty pharmacy to take my call, call me back, or figure out what the prescription said.
And yes, my issue is definitely with the insurance company and their pharmacy. The one we started at (because "a specialty pharmacy" means "our specialty pharmacy") seemed so much better organized and was so much more pleasant to deal with. I have to start from scratch and explain how we got to this situation every time I call the current pharmacy.
Well I sent a PM over two weeks ago and never got a response, so I'm just going to start going here anyway.
How long have you been trying to conceive? 14 months Do you have a diagnosis? If so; what is it? Cysts on ovaries (non-PCOS) and LPD Are you currently doing any testing or treatment? Just started my first cycle taking Prometrium 200mg (progesterone) after ovulation. Any updates? Nope...just hanging out in the 2WW taking my progesterone

Well it was a BFN for the beta today. So now we're basically on hold and just NTNP until further notice, with IVF on the table for a later date. So I'm drinking wine tonight and booking a big vacation for the Fall. IF sucks

Hi ladies! Sorry I'm here but the days have kinda blurred into each other and I have a hard time remembering what day it is. Hugs all around. I'm sorry some of us are having a extra sucky time.
Afm well big surprise i didn't get pregnant last cycle. My period has been super light the last couple of cycles, like barely more than spotting. It's weird. I think I'm on CD10. I have thoughts all over the place apparently. Lol. Anyway I'm just keep on keeping on.

Had some adventures the last week. I went in for my mid-cycle u/s on Friday, CD 14 and lo and behold I had an 18.5 follie all ready to go. Problem was, my husband had to stand duty on Saturday which made him going in to give his IUI sample all but impossible. The clinic said we could bring it in, which didn't really help any. After explaining the situation (that my body wouldn't wait, they triggered me at the doctor and they don't do IUIs on Sunday) we decided the only shot we had was me meeting him on base. So, bright and early on Saturday morning I met him at the McDonalds across from his ship and he was able to meet me for a few minutes and give his sample in the McDonalds bathroom.
What a fucking trooper my husband is. Of course, when he went in, no one was in the restaurant and just after going in 4 guys came in and all made a direct line for the bathroom.
If this cycle works, it will be a hell of a conception story so for now we're holding out that hope.
Specifics, post wash wasn't that great again. Not sure why, but that's fucking irritating. 7.2 post wash and I'm 3 DPO today. Testing sometime next week.
IUI 1-3 BFN IVF #1 - Oct '15 - 10R, 3M, 0F IVF #2 - August 16 - 12R, 11M, 5F. 1 to transfer and 2 to freeze - BFP!! - MMC caught at 7w5d FET #1 - 1/26 - BFP, due 10/14
