Either I'm blind, or a TTC check-in hasn't been started for this week...
I guess I'll start?
I'm on CD5 today, just took my 3rd dose of Femara, have my follicle tracking US on Monday. Still have to pick up my trigger shot. But I got the progesterone last week. It's not covered by our Blue Cross plan until we are pregnant, so it was about $115 for 3 weeks. Which I though wasn't too bad... Jo jokes that I'll be shoving pearl looking meds up my hoohaa, twice a day for 3 weeks... lol Not looking forward to it. But if it can help make the baby stick, I'll do it!

I am 7dpo, and just had a blood draw for a progesterone check, she only had to poke me once, thank goodness. Hopefully the numbers are good.
I am STILL crampy. I thought it was all in my head but yesterday at work during our busy morning rush, they stopped me in my tracks a few times, I never got cramps like this with AF before, the brat just always showed up and it was a surprise because I had NO symptoms beforehand, except irritability. Otherwise I've had a total break down today, including a session of sobbing in the bathroom, this is what I text DW in the bathroom, I feel the same as I "
I sure wish that if AF was going to show up she'd stop messing with my head. 1. Still cramping, so annoying. Never happened before IUIs but now suddenly it's a thing. 2. Irritable JUST like all other months before AF. 3. Skin looks like hell. I look like a teenager.
AF if you're going to show up, just cut to the chase already, bc I know you're right around the corner.
End rant. Sorry. But I'm pissy today."
I feel the same as last cycle and we all know how that ended.

I am SO late with my check in...things have been so busy. I got my bloodwork back and it showed low ovarian reserve...bummer. Not something that will kick me out of the game but not great news to hear. We did THREE ultrasounds this cycle and after a dose of letrozole (2.5 mg) on cycle days 5-9 I produced one follicle. The RE felt confident in moving forward. We did a trigger shot last night at 9pm and the IUI is scheduled for tomorrow morning at 9am. I'm nervous to be back in the game but ready to get moving.

DW has a DOR as well, it was a tough battle, but it's not impossible. I sometimes worry that we gave up too soon with her (5 medicated failed cycles) but even on the heavily medicated cycles she would get one follicle, maybe two once or twice. I hope your experience is better than ours. she is only interested in moving forward with IVF, we will see what happens. I wish you the best of luck DOR is hard, but not impossible.

Well AF has arrived, right on schedule. I am crushed. I can't explain it, after last months CP I just really thought we'd get lucky again, but we didn't. It was the last vile of our number one donor, and he's no longer donating. I'm so blue this morning, hopefully I can shake it off, but I don't see that happening. I better call the REs office for another dose of Femera, which makes me crazy.
We have a great donor from the KDR picked out for this months try, I just need the comfort of trying in my home, and knowing that I'm spending less money each cycle than what we were. I'd like to save that fertiltiy treatment insurance for more aggressive treatments if necessary.
I do have a question though, it is firmly believed that first 3 IUIs are the most likely to be successful, if i take a few months off for at home AI, will this mess up the 3 IUIs, do they have to be back2back, or can they be spaced out? I mean is it just 3 total, or is it 3 in a row?
