It explains why shit hurts on my right side so much today.  The right side is the side with a questionable tube so there's that.

I'm just tired.  This is my third cycle of this nonsense.  If I get cysts again from Clomid, then I'm out for next cycle again.

I just want to cry.  I hate this holding pattern.  I hate all of this so fucking much right now.

[mustloveerica]

Has your RE mentioned maybe switching to Femara? They switched me because it has significantly less side effects than clomid. It sounds to me like clomid is not for you. You've had a crazy couple of cycles :-(

I can ask - yes.  I was going to wait until this cycle was done to see what happened with the IUI and if I got cysts again before asking to be switched.  At least I'd have 2/3 IUI cycles done with.  But, now I still only have one cycle done, no hope for this one, and could be pushed back by two months now.

I just want to hulksmash everything. 

I know it's no where near as bad as some things people are dealing with in this thread.  I'll have perspective in a little bit - promise.

You're allowed to be pissed. Hell im pissed for you. You hulksmash all you want, girl.

[requiressnacks]

oh joy. I am so sorry to hear that. You have every right to be pissed as hell right now.

[ceejay]

@wallflwr926 - yay for the longer LP! Hopefully you'll have longer LPs going forward. And GL with your resume!

kawaiikitsune - Sorry for your impending period. Hope things work out so that you can move on to the new RE.

getzystark - Ugh, that stinks. I'm sorry you have to wait until November. Hopefully the time passes quickly.

Daikoku - FX that you O this week!

emilie - Sorry for impending AF. Glad that your first acupuncture appointment went well!

joy - Ugh, I'm so sorry. You have every right to be frustrated and upset now.

************BFP Update************






Hey guys! My second iui was successful! I got my BFP last Saturday. I was sure it would be a bust with the lower dose in clomid and the timing of the iui. Guess I just needed to trust my Dr. I didn't update last week bc I wanted to make sure betas were OK. Betas were good! My EDD according to LMP is June 3rd...my parents anniversary. Thank you all for the support. I will be lurking often and praying for your BFPs!

[kawaiikitsune]

joy - Your ovaries are the worst rn.

[lilsneezy]

Congrats RaeLynn28!!

Not much going on here. My first medicated cycle was a bust so we're moving on to #19.

You are allowed to be angry. Don't ever think that your issues aren't as important as someone elses. None of this is fun for anyone. I want to hulksmash everything for you.

Congrats!!! RaeLynn28,

[twinkie0612]

I'm late to the party and this will be a PNR, sorry!

I triggered last week for my mock cycle to test out min stim protocol to build my lining for my next FET instead of a Lupron protocol. It went well, my lining got to 8.93 mm and I had 2 mature follicles and 2 more that were borderline. We went ahead and did TI, our odds are probably about 1-2% with TI, but hey you never know. I am 6 DPO today.

I also got my calendar last week. If this cycle doesn't work out, I'll go on BCPs for a few weeks, then base line on the 30th. If I stim the same number of days as I did for the mock, my transfer should be around November 18th.

[kawaiikitsune]

getzystark - Sorry for the sucky news. All the hugs.
Daikoku - FX for O.
emilie - FX for good news after your SHG.
snakefisherbub - *huge hugs* IF fucking sucks.
dke2010 - So sorry. *hugs*
joy - You are allowed to be upset. Feel how you feel and know that that is okay.
twinkie0612 - Crossing all the things.

[meerkatmillie]

youdontsay FX for you. Thats crazy that they had to flip you upside-down for the transfer
mrsjene Yay! Thats awesome. I hope the wait goes quickly and the PGS results come back ok. Keep us posted
mugster Good luck with the upcoming IVF
goldenlove3 3 mature follicles is great! I was just reading a study that reported that the pregnancy rate per cycle after IUI was 6.2%, 12.9% and 30% with one, two and three mature follicles developed respectively: www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/16398971
joy IF is overwhelming, sometimes nothing in the process goes smoothly ((hugs))
requiressnacks I’m sorry the medicated TI didn’t seem to work.
longhornwino0907 Ugh, those are some tough choices. I hope your AMH somehow goes back up so your choices are easier. I’ve always heard AMH doesn’t vary much, but to my surprise there have been some recent studies on whether there can be AMH variability: www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC3852815/
@diordra FX for your transfer! Best of luck
kaliRN I’m so so sorry about your last IVF cycle. A trip to the Czech Republic sounds like a great way to compensate for the situation you're in. I say go for it!
Cythe Good luck! Oct 15 will be here before you know it
ceejay Welcome! The first RE appointment is super informative when you have a good RE. Bring a notepad
@evelyn3 I’m sorry for the BFN on your IUI. FX for you
@wallieflowers I’m sorry for the BFN and pain you’re having. Thats no fun. I hope it goes away on its own.
getzystark That is a long wait, bummer. FX for a miracle.
@daikoku Good luck!
emilie I’m sorry for the BFN. Were you able to get the possible polyp thing figured out? I hope everything is well with you
RaeLynn28 Congrats!!! Thats awesome! H&H 9 to you

AFM We started our first IUI cycle this month. I took 5mg Femara (CD 3-7) and had my ultrasound appointment on Saturday (CD 12). I ended up with one 19mm follicle on the right, and a 12mm and 10mm on the left. Not great since we were going for a super-ovulation cycle with multiple follicles and only ended up with one dominant follicle, but we decided to go forward with the IUI anyway. I had a positive OPK Sat night/Sun morning, so the IUI was scheduled for this morning. All went well with the IUI itself. It was easier than I thought, but it was weird to have separate appointments and to be apart from DH while it was happening. Anyways, FX this one works. Trying to stay positive.

[housecarder]

youdontsay, I would have been so uncomfortable upside down! Everything crassed for you.
mrsjene, Fx for your embie!
joy, I am so sorry that this is all happening. You've fought so hard for this cycle!
longhornwino0907, I'm glad that you are feeling better about your choices.
@diordra, GL with your trasnfer!
kaliRN, I'm glad to hear that you have a plan, even if this all sucks.
ceejay, I am sorry you find yourself here but welcome!
RaeLynn28 Congrats!!
dke2010 I'm sorry that this cycle was a bust! Big hugs!

AFM I am on day 2 of stims. So I have some lovely bruises on my stomach. But we might not get to go through with this cycle.
We just found out that there was a mix up with the paper work for H's car that was totaled. For some reason there is a lien on the title (even though its paid off) and so they won't release the 9k check until we get it all cleared up. It was supposed to be released to us last week and we were going to use 3k of it to finish paying off the rest of our IVF cycle which is due Wednesday. We think that the BMV got the paper work mixed up with the car in my name and put the lien on both cars for some reason, but we absolutely did not use the old car as collateral or anything so I am really confused and upset. H is already freaking and thinking the worst. I'm hopeful that I can get everything cleared up tomorrow, but who knows.
I hate that this is such an emotional rollercoaster.

[Cythe]

joy, what the fuck. I have to agree with everyone else that you're allowed to be pissed, that's some bullshit right there.

[Cythe]

RaeLynn28 Congrats!!
