So I feel like I am out this cycle. I started spotting this morning and it doesn't seem to be going away. I'm supposed to test on Friday but think I'll go ahead and test tomorrow too. Trying not to get bummed out but it's so hard not too. Boo.
@hopeful_mom I’m sorry about your hubby being sick. Did it affect your IVF plans?
@madasm0530 I’m really sorry about the BFN.It’s sucks so much.L
@kaityh1 How are the PIO going now that you’ve been on them
for awhile?
@JAH87 The meds triggered migraines for me…big time!Not as much anymore, but I definitely get
headaches.I have FMLA to cover me just
in case.
@meli123k Thank you for your kind words.I completely understand what you mean about
church.It can be really hard to keep
faith in hard times. But ultimately, I find the most peace when I pray.I’m really sorry about the BFN and that you’re
moving on to IVF.I wish you the best of
luck!
@Bai-by2016 PIO are still going fine. Every few nights the injections hurt pretty bad. Having to do them every night is starting to wear on me, though.
AFM.. took a test this morning and it was BFN. I'm still spotting and its getting heavier. DH wants me to take another test tomorrow (since that is when I was supposed to) and see what the RE has to say but I'm pretty sure its on to IVF for us.
@kristynelson13 yay!!!! CONGRATS, finally some good news!! I really needed to hear some, i'm so thrilled for you!! and it is proof this can work on so many levels. May each beta keep going up, can't wait for your follow up. How many follies did you go in with again?
@kaityh1 hoping it turns around and you still get good news, IVF is no fun!
@bai-by2016 unfortunately for me this cycle of IVF sucked, and my OH being sick did hurt us but his daughter still being sick actually cancelled everything in the end as I couldn't get a sample for my retrieval. So for me taking the stems and al the pain that went with it was for nothing. Yes i'm quite bitter and still angry! there was only 4/5 mature eggs anyway praying the next round will give me more, this is an extremely costly thing so I hope my body will cooperate. I know it only take one but it tough!
@ttcnumber2withhypo I’m so sorry your going through this, I understand how tough this is and wish you all the best, hope maybe when you relax it cn help. I hate hearing those words but I do hope it happens. I'm going through that myself, I didn't retrieve my eggs this cycle and I pray I made the right decision, I cant afford 12k just for that, I pray not doing it that I still get some eggs next cycle.
I know we're in September and wishing everyone success for a BFP!!
History of TTC in spoiler box
TTC since 2014 Unexplained Infertility - but I am 40...Low AMH .30 7 - IUI (50mg-150mg Clomid) Feb - August 2016 all BFN IVF#1 August 2016 (Antagonist protocol 4/5 eggs) Cancelled cycle RE thought I would get at least 10.

@Bai-by2016 thankfully I'm not past the migraines but I can't get FMLA, I'm a waitress and unfortunately don't have coverage for anything. Luckily DH has good insurance through his work and he holds all the policies. If I don't work it's just an unpaid day. Unless I earned vacation pay but they don't even just give us a free week anymore. It's based off of what you work and it takes a whole year to earn 1 week. I was interested in switching but since I can't really predict when these appointments will be it makes sense to stay bc they're very understanding and just let me off when I let them know I can't be there for this stuff.
@hopeful_mom thank you so much! we had 3 follicles at the time of trigger 13, 16 & 19. Our post wash was also 3.1m, so I really didnt think it would take.. but like they say it only takes 1!
Im really sorry this month didnt work out for you. Try to keep your head up. Im really pulling for you. Hopefully that BFP is right around the corner!
This was not my month. We go in next Thursday for our "WTF appt" and hopefully get some answers or a game plan for IVF. Wishing all of you ladies still in it this month good luck!! I'll still be lurking and watching for those BFPs!
Good luck on your 2nd beta today @kristynelson13! Keep us posted!!

@kaityh1 so sorry to hear that! thinking of you! @Isthisthereallife thank you! I had the beta about three hours ago, now Im just waiting for that call. Im going crazy over here!
Sorry I've been MIA, I was at the Beach and tried to be as phoneless as possible.
@ReesaAnne16 I got a BFN for August.... I tried so hard to not get my hopes but, but was still devastated when AF showed up. At least I got to drink my sadness away at the beach!
I'm taking September off, we had some car issues that we have to deal with. So i'll do IUI #2 in October.
@kristynelson13 Congrats on your BFP!!! I'm so happy for you! I was starting to get discouraged seeing all the BFN so it gives me hope that October will be my month!
I'm sorry for everyone that didn't get the BFP this month, Hopefully September will be the lucky month for everyone!
I haven't been posting much lately but have still been stalking. Just wanted to say congrats @kristynelson13. Such amazing news! Praying for a healthy 9 months!

I don't feel crampy at all like I normally do before I start, although it's been 2 weeks exactly since I triggered and 12 days since IUI. Nurse called this morning with my progesterone level from my blood draw last week and said it was a 12 so my RE wants me to up my Clomid dosage to 100mg next month, we shall see!!

Hey ladies. Thank you. I'm at 5 weeks 2 days right now. I've been having a lot of nausea the last few days and a few nasty headaches. Tmi alert, I've also noticed a tiny bit of spotting when I wipe the last few days and I was freaking out. The doctor said it was totally normal as your uterus is growing, so it made me feel better, but I can't help but worry a little bit. But the numbers are good so I'm hoping things continue to stay that way. Ultrasound is sept 14, next week!

@hopeful_mom I’m sorry about your hubby being sick. Did it affect your IVF plans?
@madasm0530 I’m really sorry about the BFN. It’s sucks so much. L
@kaityh1 How are the PIO going now that you’ve been on them for awhile?
@JAH87 The meds triggered migraines for me…big time! Not as much anymore, but I definitely get headaches. I have FMLA to cover me just in case.
@meli123k Thank you for your kind words. I completely understand what you mean about church. It can be really hard to keep faith in hard times. But ultimately, I find the most peace when I pray. I’m really sorry about the BFN and that you’re moving on to IVF. I wish you the best of luck!
@ttcnumber2withhypo I’m heartbroken for you. Hang in there. Sending hugs!
@kristynelson13 OMG! CONGRATS!!!!! That’s amazing news! NEVER feel bad posting a happy result; it gives the rest of us hope!
I'm gonna head over to the September IUI board now.
AFM.. took a test this morning and it was BFN. I'm still spotting and its getting heavier. DH wants me to take another test tomorrow (since that is when I was supposed to) and see what the RE has to say but I'm pretty sure its on to IVF for us.

@kristynelson13 yay!!!! CONGRATS, finally some good news!! I really needed to hear some, i'm so thrilled for you!! and it is proof this can work on so many levels. May each beta keep going up, can't wait for your follow up. How many follies did you go in with again?
@kaityh1 hoping it turns around and you still get good news, IVF is no fun!
@bai-by2016 unfortunately for me this cycle of IVF sucked, and my OH being sick did hurt us but his daughter still being sick actually cancelled everything in the end as I couldn't get a sample for my retrieval. So for me taking the stems and al the pain that went with it was for nothing. Yes i'm quite bitter and still angry! there was only 4/5 mature eggs anyway praying the next round will give me more, this is an extremely costly thing so I hope my body will cooperate. I know it only take one but it tough!
@ttcnumber2withhypo I’m so sorry your going through this, I understand how tough this is and wish you all the best, hope maybe when you relax it cn help. I hate hearing those words but I do hope it happens. I'm going through that myself, I didn't retrieve my eggs this cycle and I pray I made the right decision, I cant afford 12k just for that, I pray not doing it that I still get some eggs next cycle.
I know we're in September and wishing everyone success for a BFP!!

@ReesaAnne16 I got a BFN for August.... I tried so hard to not get my hopes but, but was still devastated when AF showed up. At least I got to drink my sadness away at the beach!
I'm taking September off, we had some car issues that we have to deal with. So i'll do IUI #2 in October.
@kristynelson13 Congrats on your BFP!!! I'm so happy for you! I was starting to get discouraged seeing all the BFN so it gives me hope that October will be my month!
I'm sorry for everyone that didn't get the BFP this month, Hopefully September will be the lucky month for everyone!

well I think I'm moving onto the September board. POAS this morning and it was negative, but AF has not shown up yet. I don't feel crampy at all like I normally do before I start, although it's been 2 weeks exactly since I triggered and 12 days since IUI. Nurse called this morning with my progesterone level from my blood draw last week and said it was a 12 so my RE wants me to up my Clomid dosage to 100mg next month, we shall see!!
August 2017 - baby boy
