@PeaGreen421 so sorry for your bfn! Yes, on to the month of luck!
@pawcall well I'm 16DPO this morning and haven't spotted at all since 3 days ago. However, I feel cramps and dread AF which should show tomorrow or Monday. I'm still on my family visit out of state, my grand plan for distraction, and the only reasons I haven't opened my 3-pack of EPT's that sit in my suitcase next to a box of tsmpons and my bcp's for IVF is I don't want to waste the money on what is probably a bfn and I like holding out that hope at the same time. I know, crazy but that's what this whole thing does isn't it?
@pawcall thank you!! I'm more hopeful for this round, the doc is upping my Clomid, since last month I had to stair step on 100mg. Maybe my egg quality was lower because of the stair stepping? Not sure lol
@Momifbysea sorry for your bfn! Hopefully IVF will be it for you hun!

Sorry about your BFN @Momifbysea. Did AF come yet? I'm 16dpiui with a typical 13-15 day luteal, no AF and BFNs 11, 13 & 14. I'm wondering if IUI can delay AF?

That's so frustrating @SoonToBeMommaHowe did you call your RE to report the negative and tell them you have yet to get AF? I don't think you're on progesterone, right? Obviously that would prevent AF, but maybe your RE or a nurse would have some insight over the phone since you want to get going on your next cycle?

@Manders85 I called the REs office Friday to let them know about the BFN and they scheduled me a tentative baseline u/s for this morning. So I spoke with them this morning and they said because I surged on my own w/o a trigger (& I'm not on progesterone) I should definitely get AF soon. The nurse said she expected me to get it Saturday or Sunday, as did FF. I've tracked 7 cycles so far and in the previous six I had 2 twelve day LPs, 3 thirteen, 1 fourteen and 1 fifteen so I guess this is only a day longer than my longest but it's three days longer than my average. The nurse said to call if I don't see AF by Thursday and then I can come in to discuss Provera

@SoonToBeMommaHowe I think we are in the same boat. My luteal phase is usually 17 or 18 days, has never been longer than 18 and today marks 18DPO. I've had brown spotting but no AF. @junicek I didn't trigger, took letrozole CD3-7 and did IUI based on OPK. What a mind trip this is! If I don't start today maybe I'll call RE and get a blood test.
Ha just realized my numbers in that post don't match up, I've tracked for 7 full cycles and this is my 8th. Those numbers are from the 7 I've tracked.
@Momifbysea I thought my 14 & 15 day LPs were frustrating. You poor thing with 17-18. I haven't had any type of spotting yet. When's the last time you tested??

Talk about a post jinxing me! AF all of a sudden has arrived in full force! It's like a switch suddenly turned on, goodness! So with this, I will take my first BCP tonight and head into my uncharted territory that is IVF. Hope I'm brave enough!
Thanks @funkykey! I'm rooting for you too, I feel your time will come! This sure teaches patience doesn't it? I've always said I'm not a very patient person, so a life lesson for me!
So sorry @SoonToBeMommaHowe that just sucks! Take the time you need today to be upset. I always find trying to see the positive side just only goes so far and it pays just to feel your feelings.
Thinking of you

@SoonToBeMommaHowe so sorry I am going onto cycle 2, fingers crossed for us both! But speaking of cycle 2.... I was wondering if anyone had experience with a HCG above 1.0 at beta, but told negative? Or experience with Crinone (progesterone suppository) On 14dpiui my HCG was 1.2. The nurse said below 1 is negative, but they were going to treat it as a negative anyway and to stop progesterone. I stopped progesterone, but I am 18dpiui and still no AF, and no signs of it... Whats the deal??

Thank you for the support ladies. After a BFN at 14dpiui I pretty much knew I was out so I dealt with the tears then and now am just relieved that we can start cycle 2.
@PeaGreen421 I've never had a positive beta so I'm not sure exactly what to think of your situation. Sorry AF is being difficult.
