Re: Irishgirl0525
Hey Calibride,
Thanks for the post! I am doing ok, 2dp IUI...fortunately this week is going to pretty busy at work so it should go quickly on that front.
I go in tomorrow AM for a blood test for progesterone check, but my doc hasn't had me taking progesterone, I am going to ask about it tomorrow b/c it seems like others on here are doing this and my levels aren't really high. what I have done in the past 2 rounds is take the second shot of ovidrel if the level isn't very high. But that's it. Anyone else have this?
My RE does a blood test 3 days after the IUI to check the progesterone level. If it is low (which mine has been the last 2 times) I do a shot of Ovidrel on that day, and that is supposed to help. My nurse called me today to say that my progesterone reading is 7.8 today, which is higher than the last 2 times. She said that 8 is a normal number and that this one is good, but the doc is telling me to go ahead and do the ovidrel today and then I go back on May 7th for the Beta.
Ha, and I sound like I know what I'm talking about. I don't really, this is new to me too...
For my injections I do Follistim from day three, and then when I am ready to Ovulate I do an injection of Ovidrel which triggers ovulation. But apparently it also helps in boosting progesterone and whatever the conditions need to be to be prime for supporting a pregnancy. It also makes my boobs sore for the entire two weeks making my 2WW a total MF. I did the injection this afternoon so about tomorrow I will start thinking I have pregnancy signs, though it will be way, way too early.
I did that even without the meds though
Ugh, 11 more days.
Hey Calibride...just checking in to see how you are doing in the 2WW. I can't believe it's only almost halfway through. Getting a little nervous because I have been feeling the familiar sore breasts that like clockwork always happens a week before my FP comes. But I'm trying to be positive and also distract myself with work...
Hope you are doing well!
Eh, Im not feeling too hopeful this cycle
Im having the usual cramps and had a huge temp drop today at 7dpo..... I know what that means. Ugh! But I have one more week so we will see.
