@MJDsquared You have way more willpower than I do. I'm currently waiting to see my second BFN of the day.

ETA: Good luck this weekend.

@gusgus14 I may have missed it in another post, but which doctor is monitoring you on Clomid? Just asking because of your comment about being referred to a specialist after 3 months on it - I don't personally have experience with the drug, but I believe the general consensus is that you should only be on it under supervision of an RE, since there is a life-time maximum use of six cycles, and it can have some pretty serious long term effects.

@kissthesky32 glad to see I'm not the only POASaholic lol Cheapies just enable me.

Definitely, @Karrotelle! 50 hpts for $10? I'll pee on 2 a day starting way too early.

@kissthesky32 I don't know when I O'd this month so I POAS yesterday (negative) and will start again tomorrow lol Because I have a drawer full of cheapies.

@Avrilmai don't count yourself out just yet. I had a temp rise this morning too. I'm not going to even pretend that I know what it means, but a raise isn't a drop. FX for you all the way!

I hate being mobile because I can't see signatures and charts. I love stalking all the charts!!!

@Rejufsovelem Random thought - you may want to put your tickers in your signature in a spoiler box. Since this is a board where there are a lot of people struggling to get pregnant, it can be hard on them to see baby tickers. Per the guidelines, you don't HAVE to and it doesn't need a **TW**, but I think it would be a respectful thing to do while you're on the TTC board.

@kissthesky32 I didn't realize it bothered people, as I've been here before about 3 years ago and things have definitely changed.  I'm glad to remove them as I don't want to offend anyone.  I have noticed others though so I would love if I'm not the only one this is pointed out to.

I definitely will point it out to any that I see. I haven't noticed anyone else's - though I have to admit that I haven't been searching them out. Yours were just large and colorful and caught my attention.

Lurking from the IF thread...

@gusgus14 Are you being monitored by ultrasound on Clomid? If you are seeing an obgyn and they are only monitoring your blood I would ask to be referred to a Reproductive Endocrinologist (fertility specialist) for your next cycle. Not being able to see follicle growth or the possible production of cysts is a problem on clomid. Clomid can also effect your uterine lining which needs to be monitored by ultrasound. 

To answer your question on progesterone levels, on a natural cycle my progesterone was 8. The highest it was on a medicated cycle was 42.

@vintageandrea90 i see you did 5mg letrozole + ovidrel + ti this cycle - how were your follicles (size)?

gusgus14

@Sailing_Mama @tamalahoops  Right now I'm being monitored by my gyno. No ultrasound, just CD21 blood tests right now but I've known my doctor a long time and I trust her so I'm not going to push for a referral yet. I will keep that in mind, although from what I've read on it I'm not really concerned about monitoring with US at this point.

My progesterone level before starting clomid was 13 and this cycle it's 14.8. I'm on CD25 now which is usually my last cycle day so we'll see what happens.

@gusgus14 girl this sounds a little concerning. I get that you trust your doctor but you just got a test done that you don't know how to interpret the results and she's out for a week. So not only are you not under the supervision of an RE or getting ultrasounds, but your doctor isn't even available to monitor the blood test results. I know you said you've "read on it" and aren't concerned but I think it's important that you should be. This is something that absolutely needs to be monitored.

@fresh76 I had a good one that ended up being a cyst, last time I was checked it was 35mm and just sitting in there! I ended up having another one that was 21mm when I triggered.
