@Mrs Reeder I started cramping about 5dpo in my uterus and ovaries. I'm now 8dpo and the cramping is still there and getting a bit more intense. However, I am really not reading into it because with how low my progesterone is and the nurse (not my usual, compassionate nurse) telling me we would need to increase letrozole next cycle I'm not incredibly hopeful. I'm going to do an hpt on Wednesday and I have my beta on Friday.

Started cramping and spotting Thursday. POAS this morning and BFN. If it's negative today I'm sure it will be the same tomorrow guess I'm out. If af doesn't show in a few days I'll test again. On to the 3rd and final IUI. If that one doesn't work I've come to the end of my TTC journey. Fx for the rest of you ladies who test this coming week and r the ones on to their next cycle
@takethelongway prayers for you. It's so hard to know what's going on bc every woman is so different. I think I'm gonna start testing Wednesday as well. Prayers for both of us!
@agriffin92013 I'm sorry for your experience. I had cramping Friday and again today and I'm so scared I'll see blood. I'm going for beta tomorrow and just keeping my hopes up. My FX for you and hope you get a bfp tomorrow. xoxo
@kaitielynnrichardson YEA GOOD FOR YOU!!! That's so exciting!! Keep us posted on your beta, fingers crossed this is it! How many days where you when you started testing? How do you feel? What a great start to your week! ;;)
thanks! I took my first test yesterday at 11dpo.. the line was so faint that I was really thinking it was an evap line.. but it showed up again this morning and then I did a digitial test with my SMU and it came up quickly with a "Pregnant 1-2". I am expecting to hear back from my doctor around 2pm with the beta results. I am hoping my numbers are pretty strong.. I have a second beta scheduled for Wednesday morning as well.
as far as symptoms.. I have been feeling nauseous on and off since Friday - the smell of chicken wings is not good at all!! I was cramping from 9dpo until 11dpo, but none today. My temperature has been rising steadily since O day -- this morning I was at 98.60 (previous cycles my temp. would drop a lot on 11dpo). Very sore / tender breasts and feeling a little bloated.
I will keep you posted on my beta results this afternoon!
Still just spotting. called the nurse and she said to go ahead and test again in the morning if negative give it a couple more days to see if af shows her ugly face
@lilmisslp You got this, girl! I think my new strategy will be to pretend I am waiting to O during my TWW. We'll see if it'll actually work, though! Feel free to try it and tell me how it works

TI - 100 mg Clomid + prometrium (AM & PM) + vaginal estrace (AM & PM) 6-7/15 (monitored) --> no additional response and thinned lining - BFN
TI - Injectables (follistim + Gonal-F, Ganirelix, & 1/2 dose Pregnyl) + prometrium (AM & PM) 9/15 --> 3-7 mature follicles (3 definites and 4+ that could have matured due to trigger) @ O -->BFN + 5 large cysts
My labs came back and beta was 16. I'm trying not to worry about such a low number since it was such an early blood draw, but it's definitely tough. I go back for a second beta tomorrow and they want to see the number increase by at least 60%. I am still having some cramping and a sharp pain in my right side that only lasts for a split second.. Trying to just stay busy. (Although it blows my mind that it takes 25miu to turn a hpt positive... I'm surprised to have a blood beta at 16). Sigh. How is everyone else doing?
@kaitielynnrichardson I'm so sorry you're having to deal with the unknown re: your beta now. Hopefully it is just low because it is early. Have you POAS recently, and it's still positive? You're in my thoughts!!

@kaitielynnrichardson I was wondering about you... Try to stay positive- I know WAY easier said than done! I'll keep my fingers crossed! I will probably take a test Thursday or so but who knows... I feel like I have symptoms but who knows... I've thought that before and only to get a stark white test staring me in the eyes! Have a great evening everyone! I'll be thinking of you @kaitielynnrichardson
Thank you @Msbender129 and @riveridgional. Yes, I POAS this evening and the line is darker so I'm hoping all is going to be well. I have my blood draw at 7:45am tomorrow.. I will update as soon as I have results.
@kaitielynnrichardson That really is intriguing about the positive test and low beta. I have my fingers crossed for you!

I also tested this morning, but I must have had a defective test as no lines showed up! I guess that's karma telling me I should have just waited for Friday
