Feeling Low

I decided to test this morning...BFN at 12dpiui. I have been having some symptoms so I decided to test. I figured if I was pregnant enough to have symptoms I would be pregnant enough to show on a test, right?

I think it is cruel that early pregnancy symptoms and AF symptoms are similar...but I digress.

This was my 3rd IUI (but my 4th inject cycle because I O'd early last month). The RE said she would consider one more IUI before moving onto IVF.

We haven't decided if we are going through with IVF for financial and other reasons.

I plan on talking with the RE about tweaking the protocol. I generally only get one dominate follicle each cycle. I know having 2 or 3 would give us a better chance.

Anyway, I just wanted to know what y'all though and if you have any suggestions.

So sorry about your BFN

I would suggest changing the meds or the protocol to get more follies before moving on. This would increase your chances. I am surprised with injects you are only getting one dominate one. Hope your RE gives you some options you are comfortable with. Hang in there! *hugs*

I am sorry that you got a BFN. I know what you mean that symptoms of AF and pregnancy are similar and can play mind games with you. It is a evil game that mother nature plays with our heads! I hope you get your BFP soon though, good luck! Smile

I'm so sorry

I agree with you and the others that if there is anyway to get more follies that would be a good thing to try! {{{hugs}}}

I'm sorry about the BFN Allie. They never get any easier to see. I would definitely talk to your RE and make sure they really listen to your concerns. Maybe it's time for a new combination of meds to give you the result you want.

Best of luck!

I'm sorry about your BFN. I agree that the early PG symptoms, and AF symptoms are way too alike. Its just another way to screw with your mind. The mind is a dangerous thing!

I agree that you should change things up. Obviously its not working, and time to try something a little different. How much Menopur do they have you on? Usually if they have you on Femara + Menopur, its a lower dosage of Menopur. Good luck, and I hope you feel better. Never give up hope!

I am so sorry about the BFN ((((HUGS)))) I agree with you, it is so cruel how pregnancy and AF symptoms are exactly the same. I definitely think you should talk to your RE about increasing or changing your dosage in order to produce more follicles for better chances. My RE likes to see 3 or 4 follicles for an injects cycle. Good luck hun and I hope it was just too early to test.

I take 7.5 mg Femara and 75iu of Menopur. I'm wondering if I need to bump that up to 150iu. ETA: And I didn't produce any follicles with Femara alone.

Thanks ladies for the support. I will definately address this with my RE.
