TTC Check-in 10/5

[dannigirl]

How are things??

[dannigirl]

I thought I would start this weeks because I have to post how silly I am....

11dpiui... Should have waited, but I took another hpt and it's still a BFN... I'm feeling pretty discouraged here.

I am so sorry! There is still hope, 11dpiui is still pretty early. FX

We are just anxiously waiting in our TWW. DW is now 4dpiui. But she's been very dizzy the last two days, like SUPER dizzy. My guess is that it's the progesterone.

She's also started temping this cycle, and they are rather sporadic, so I'm not sure what to think of that. But she does it at the EXACT same time everyday.

[dannigirl]

There is still time, I just hoped we would get some good news before Jo left. Will just have to wait and see.
Why can't I be patient and wait?! haha

The TTW sucks.
I hope you two get your BFP!

[dannigirl]

Might be out this cycle...
Have AF style cramps going on... Waiting to see what happens from here.
Hope everyone else is having a good Monday.

[kekaellypula]

Today is CD15. Estrogen is over 400. I have a single little follicle hanging out that is 16.4mm. Tonight and tomorrow is follistim and ganirelix. Wednesday I go in for more poking and prodding. Hoping that on Friday I can do the IUI. DS leaves tomorrow morning. I won't see her again for 7.5 weeks. I might get a few sporadic phone calls though.

[JustJudy]

How long are your LPs usually dannigirl? Hopefully you're just too early!
Sending good thoughts to you in the TWW rikkiandjulie!

I'm 7DPIUI, had my blood test for progesterone this morning and I'm waiting for those results. I'm hoping the numbers are good since we added the Femara this cycle.

[rikkiandjulie]

I'm crossing my fingers for all of you. Danni, DW got put on progesterone to make her LP longer to give a longer window for implantation, they thought maybe AF was coming too soon. Idk if that's the case for you, but it never hurts to ask

[dannigirl]

When I did ovulation tests my LP was 14 - 15 days. At least I think that's it. It's from the day of ovulation till AF started again right?

I had asked my Dr about Progesteone and she said because I don't spot before AF and it's usually very regular, that she doesn't believe I need it and that all my hormone levels have always looks good. So I hope she is right.

Yep! You're right!

Sidenote- I am really coming to terms the past six months that TTC is a total crap shoot. Everything in the world could be 100% perfect and it's still a slim chance, just like winning a craps game. It sucks, and it is hard for me to swallow. But it's getting easier.

Also- DW had some bad cramping tonight and dizziness again., I am totally symptom spotting, and it's probably the progesterone, but a smudge of hope never hurt.

[rikkiandjulie]

DW has had minor minor spotting today, just a few drops. It's 6dpo, it just happened today at dinner. It MIGHT be because her progesterone suppository is a little late, she takes it about 6p and it's currently 7:32p surely she wouldn't start spitting that soon. but who know what's going on. Implantation bleeding!

[esquette]

Sigh. Last month I never got a positive OPK, which was a real bummer. I (thankfully!) got one this cycle (today, CD13), but I have a sinus infection and I'm on antibiotics. The doctor gently recommended sitting this one out.

So... Another cycle gone. Its frustrating that these past two cycles we haven't even gotten to try. :-(

Good luck everybody!!!

[dannigirl]

Blah, got another BFN this morning... Plus I'm at the terminal to drop Jo off for her tour. Sucky day for sure..

[JustJudy]

dannigirl and esquette, Sorry. Sending you both hugs.

[dannigirl]

Thank you. I'm trying to not get too down. But it's very much a blah day with Jo leaving and not having good news for her.
I emailed my RE and asked for our next Femara Rx to be sent to my pharmacy. If the beta comes back tomorrow with a BFN, I want to be able to try again one more time this month. The Nurse I deal with said the Rx should be sent out soon, but hopefully I won't need it... It's nice to hear that the clinic still has a little hope with this cycle.

[kekaellypula]

got the call. trigger tonight. IUI on Friday. #1 follicle is at 22.7 and a have a surprise #2 follicle at 11. My E2 is at 493. I just wish Kass was here. Dropped her off yesterday morning and won't see her for 7.5 weeks. I hate my hormones too. They make me cry. I hate crying.

[dannigirl]

And it looks like we are out another month.
There is a small amount of fresh blood and it looks like AF is for sure on her way.

Today really sucks.

I really wish I could talk with Jo right.l now. But I would be sending her an email, and she won't get it for a few days until she gets all settled in.... I really could use my best friend right now.

[rikkiandjulie]

Danni. I am so sorry that today hasn't been going well for you. This BFN must really suck, and I am incredibly sorry. I will be sending you all the best.

[kona]

kekaellypula good luck tomorrow!

dannigirl I'm sorry this is a rough time right now. Thinking of you.

Our potential known donor is in town (a guy M and I went to college with) and the plan is for him to bank for us this weekend. M and I still seem to go around in circles about all of the TTC #2. It's almost worse given that we both could carry because that just increases the number of different options we have. Sometimes it's amazing to me that we have made it this far in building our family, we can both be very indecisive. We definitely have some decisions to make as soon given that one of the options is that we could try ICI with me since I am ovulating this weekend.

[dannigirl]

Thank you all.

I had a complete melt down last night andI'm so happy I was able to get ahold of my Mom and talk everything out.

I will be going for my beta today since I can't start the next cycle before I make sure I'm not pregnant. But then again, I don't know if I will do another cycle without Jo here. I always said I would keep trying without her here, but I don't know at this point. Something we are going to have to try and talk about. Hopefully we can talk today or tomorrow. Sucks that she's now across the world.

[rikkiandjulie]

Feeling less hopeful this month, yesterday DWs temp dropped below the coverline, (we were hoping it was a mythical implantation dip), but today her temp only raised 1/10th of a degree. So it looks as though her temping may be falling, and the progesterone is hiding her AF. Totally speculating though as I know very little about temping. She's 7dpiui today.

[dannigirl]

I know nothing about temping, but I would think 7dpiui is too early to count this IUI as a no go?

[rikkiandjulie]

Yea who knows, I wish the Dr didn't suggest temping it's just another thing to obsess over.

[rikkiandjulie]

Also, just found out that our neighbors from Kansas who we LOVE are three months pregnant. I am soooo happy for them, But I am sooo jealous too.

7DPIUI is way too early to know anything - even with temps - unless her LP is usually really short, like under 8 days. If temping makes the TWW worse then just temp until you get O confirmation and stop.

[rikkiandjulie]

I'm just going to stop reading the chart. ?

[kekaellypula]

so..... did the IUI this morning. I go back on the 26th for preg test if i don't get my period.

I got the sperm washing report. 14M motility. 42% motile. ROP of 2. The nurse said that the motile and ROP are lower than they like but it may speed up once they warm up from my body heat. Found out as well that they only use 1 vial per IUI/cycle. So if it doesn't work this time I only have to buy 1 more vial for next. They like to have 2 on hand in case one doesn't meet the requirements.

I start taking progesterone on Sunday. For the next 2 weeks I just get to ignore my bodies weirdness. So fingers crossed!

[dannigirl]

Good luck!!!!!
It's so hard to ignore all the little things, but I heard that taking progesterone can make it worse because it makes you feel pregnant no matter the outcome.


We are out another month. AF arrived as scheduled with a couple days of spotting before. Yeehaw... Ugh.
