For the first time, I really want AF to arrive.

in TTC after 35

The sooner the better...

The nurse at my RE's office said that my collapsed cyst on my ovary-- whose corpus luteum gave me a false LH + on my OPK-- has "tricked" my body into thinking I ovulated. So they don't think I'm going to gear up again and ovulate this month. 

So now I'm wondering if my body is going to be sufficiently "tricked" into having AF arrive on schedule or if it will further eff with me and my mind by going another month before finally deciding to give me a CD1. 

The nurse mentioned something about if I wanted meds or to continue with the RE (I wasn't listening closely anymore at this point), there'd be a $400 fee or something.

Thank goodness I've been working so much the last 48 hours (and today) so that I don't obsess over this ALL the time.

This week, however, I'm going to talk to the HR people at my work to ask them why none of this stuff is covered. I'm angry. And frustrated. And very scared that I won't be able to get pregnant on my own, but COULD get pregnant-- and stay pregnant-- with IVF but won't be able to afford it... 

Anyhow... I hope everyone else is chugging along on this baby-making train. How y'all doing?

    ugh how frustrating.  

    looks like we'll be in limbo together waiting for ( but not knowing when/if) to expect AF

     Race ya!

    Go get those HR folks - make them see that sometimes something that sounds good on paper can really mess up someone's life.
    Me 39 & suspected PCOS, DH 42. Went off BCP when we got married in 11/11, seriously TTC since 3/12.  Six cycles of clomid = BFNs.  Suspected endometriosis & HSG showed both tubes blocked.  Sept 2013 IVF 5D transfer of two perfect embryos = BFN.  Started acupuncture and taking time off to drop some pounds & get healthier before FET in April 2014.

    I can understand why you would be frustrated.  I bet AF will arrive close to on time though. I will keep my fingers crossed that she does!


    11dpo here.  I typically have a 10-11 day LP, so I'm nervous and waiting to see if AF will arrive.  I don't like to test early so I will give her another day or two to show up before I try testing.  Temp was still up this morning though, ~98.0 at 6AM, so I'm guessing she won't be here today.  Who knows though as this is my first month temping.

    Yikes. We get so used to knowing when AF will appear, it must feel so uncertain when your body can't decide what it wants to do. Don't some women get an occasional very short cycle? Maybe what's happening with your body, happened then. I hope your wait isn't too long.

    Being OOP sucks the 400 sounds about right for the IVF consultation I've paid it once and getting ready to pay it a second time :

    Me 38 MH 41 - TTC since June 2010 - dx with Severe MFI. Straight to IVF with ICSI. IVF #1 - ER 06/13/12 - 9 Eggs Retrieved - 4 ICSI'd - only 2 fert. 06/15/12 - 2DT - 3 cell & 6 cell with fragmentation. Beta 06/29/12 - IVF #1 = BFN. 07/20/12 - WTF Appt -Told by our RE to quit IVF. Second Opinion from RE is good. IVF#2 - November 2012. Estradiol Pills Started 11/6. Stims start 11/16. ER 11/26 - 7 eggs retrieved - all mature. 4 fertilized with ICSI. ET 11/29 Transferred 3 embryos. Beta is 12/10. 1st Beta 81 2nd Beta 160 and 3rd beta 360!!! First U/S 12/21/12 - We saw one beautiful gest. sac. 2nd U/S is 01/04/2013 - H/B 183 02/05/13 - NT Scan - everything looks good and IT'S A BOY!  Aiden was born 08/20/2013.

    IVF #2 is in progress.  ER was 05/12/14 - 11 eggs retrieved, 8 fertilized with ICSI.  ET was 05/15/14 - we transferred 3 embryos as we did on the cycle my son was conceived.  We were able to freeze 3 embryos. Beta is scheduled for 05/26/14.  1st beta - 111.  2nd beta - 159 didn't double :( 3rd beta Friday 5/30) - not a lot of hope left. Beta # 3 is 247 - probably ectopic.  Beta # 4 is 813 - possibly vanishing multiple sydrome?  06/05/14 - 5w4days - first U/S - we see a gestational sac and yolk - still have hope!  06/17/14 - 7w1day - U/S and saw and heard the heartbeat - Finally!  06/27/14 - 8w4days - Baby and heartbeat look and sound great :)  EDD 02/01/14 and It's a boy!

    I know how hard being oop is.  Have they already gone over all your test results with you already? Or is that what the $400  is for?
