Are you staying strong? Or have you tested yet? FX for you when you do test! I hope you make it over to PAIF (even though I would miss you around here)!

You're so sweet. I'm doing ok, but I'm way weak. I tested this morning and bfn. I'm holding out the smallest bit of hope since its only 12dpo, but not much. This may end up being our last cycle til next Jan's ivf. Our re never had any hope for us doing iuis and was just appeasing me. I really want to do one or two more inject cycles but it'll depend on my job.

What about you sweets? Starting the femara tomorrow? Whatcha doing with your re?

Hopefully it was just too early!  I am starting femara tomorrow (same dose). They said optional monitoring this cycle since we aren't making any changes. But, I'm going to go ahead with mid cycle u/s and at that point I will talk to the RE personally about adding the progesterone and/or trigger.  The nurse was who I talked to yesterday and she never told RE that my lp was short so I don't want to doubt RE yet until I talk to him personally about my concerns.  I do have progesterone supplements that my GYN gave me. So, I think if RE doesn't prescribe them and doesn't give me a good reason why I don't need them then I will probably take them anyways and have to think really hard about what to do next cycle (i.e...find another dr or what).  He was my 2nd opinion and I really like him and have trusted him so far, so I really hope we are on the same page about this issue.

Good luck with your side effects babe. I'm glad you're getting the monitoring and talking to him! I really hope he adds prog and a trigger, it just makes sense.

Thanks hun! I'm DREADING starting femara again. It just makes me so freaking miserable I can't even explain how miserable! If I'm gonna take something that makes me so miserable then it better at least work (AKA- make me O strong, lengthen LP you know make my body do what it is supposed to)!!!
