Feeling pretty down today even though I'm not out until af comes which is Thursday. I have had serious cramping since last Thursday which was 9dpo and today I just feel like af is gunna come any minute. I usually don't get cramps until 1-2 days before. What a sucky thing to mess with your mind start cramps 8 days before af.
@Colleen0516- how are you doing? Are you holding up ok for IVF?
I hear you @islagirl1218, I felt the same way when I was getting AF. I went to the RE today, and he did a day 2 u/s (gross since I am on my period!!!) He said that everything looked ok down there, but my period would be light b/c of thin lining. He said that it doesn't look like endo or PCOS (which I am grateful for), and that he is starting me on femara 5mg (both capsules at night), estrace (1mg vaginally for 30 days) and then Ovidrel (which I found out IS covered by my insurance!) He said that I have to do 3 total IUI's before moving on to IVF (which I am hoping I don't have to do, but will do whatever to get a kiddo). I think the timeline is good though, it will be before the new year (Sept/Oct for IUI, and Nov/Dec for the 2 months for IVF needed), so at least I will hit my insurance when the deductible is met! Thank god!
I am bummed, he did say that DH's morphology was low at 9%- but the O/B said the results of the semen analysis was great, and the APN on the day of IUI said good too. My RE is a bit scattered sometimes. I kept having to remind him that I was on day 2 instead of 2ww!!! he is funny though, and after doing my own research (which I know they all Poo-Poo, but c'mon who is more in tune with cycle days, and lining etc, than us!) I love the plan! I wish it was estrogen patches though, 30 days of v, suppositories, ewie! hah, just trying to keep my eyes on the prize!
@islagirl1218 I am sorry but remember it's not over until AF shows her ugly face.
@roosh1982 I hope one of the IUIs work! Does your insurance cover IVF? I feel like insurances should be required to cover IUI and IVF. Infertility is a medical condition and should be treated as such! I understand why you don't want to do thirty days of extrace. I am on progesterone suppositories right now. Yuck. Lol

I had let you all know that my beta came back positive on Friday. They retested it today and the levels are rising as expected. Going in for US next week. This feels so surreal. I am cautiously excited.
I have been diagnosed with PCOS and have been trying for almost a year and a half. I had an IUI this time with Clomid. I have my told anyone else other than DH and bumpies. Thank you all for being the one place where I can share without judgement or embarrassment.
I hope the BFPs have a wonderful pregnancy.
I pray and hope for all of you to have your BFPs soon. Keeping FX for US next Tuesday!
@islagirl1218 cramping can mean a number of things! Don't count yourself out until AF shows up!
@roosh1982 I'm going okay! Thanks for asking! I got my IVF schedule today; I start OCPs tomorrow Injections on the 25th Possible egg retrieval on October 6th And possible transfer October 9th.
I like having a game plan, so getting the schedule calmed me. Plus I have a few weeks to prepare myself for the needles X_X
@nrpl I'm so happy for you that you finally got your BFP!
@Colleen0516 I. Glad you got a game plan and dates for when things will happen! I know I'd feel so much better having that too. I feel like I always need to be in control and not knowing when things are happening drives me nuts! I wish you the best of luck. Please keep us all updated!

I'm 4dpiui now. My hpts are coming in the mail Thursday so I will probably take my first test on Friday morning. Then going away for the whole weekend so probably won't test again until Tuesday.
Married: 8/29/2009 TTC- since we got married (off and on) TTC with focus: Since July 2015
Currently had 2 rounds of failed IUIs, failed TI monitored cycle December 2015: Starting 1st IVF cycle January 2016: Retrieval March 2016: Pending Transfer (I have 3 PGS tested embryos waiting for a womb) April 2016: BFP, the old fashioned way.
7dpiui here. Did BW for progesterone this am, came back 20.80. She said that's a perfect ovulatory number but I still am not knowledgable in progesterone. Did my IUI cd15 with 50mg clomid cd4-8, ovidrel trigger cd13. We froze and banked two samples as my husband's numbers are extremely low and ended up with 11 million motile (which was super disappointing to me as the samples were pretty decent but they said freezing, washing and thawing you lose some) praying this is our month because we can't really afford to do another cycle like this (our insurance doesn't cover any of the urologist stuff) FX and lots of baby dust to my fellow TWW-ers!
