Re: TTC Check In
Just got a call from clinic. I did a progesterone test on Monday, one week post IUI and the results came back at 41.4. The message said this is excellent but I don't know what this means. Why did they test my progesterone when I am taking suppositories? It's too early to POAS so I don't know what to think. I'm looking at my levels here to see if it means anything. Anyone know why they would test only one week after iUi? https://www.fertilityplus.com/faq/hormonelevels.html

We are good, as per our post below... Even though I know our iui was done too early for much short of a miracle and some super strong and super slow sperm to work I am finding myself super attuned to my cycle. I am someone who has bad PMS
Physical symptoms anyway ... The whole gamut from nausea to heartburn to sore everything .... So I am feeling those develop as the week goes on. Annoying! Oh well... We will test anyway in another week as we start the new cycle.
QOTD: In the new year my goal is to start proactive eating. Getting the dx of autoimmune antibodies and high sugar has given me a bit of a kick to consider stopping the foods I know I have sensitivity to... Like wheat. I am going to try to do the 80 percent good, and 20 percent treats plan I think in the new year.

A progesterone test at 7dpo -- which should also be 7 days post-IUI -- is used to confirm ovulation and measure strength of ovulation. You could have a weak ovulation and your progesterone would be lower. 41 indicates a strong ovulation which means your odds for pregnancy are higher than if it was weak -- so that's a good thing.
From what I have been told, the progesterone from suppositories does not show up in your blood, so that 41 is what your body is producing naturally -- and thus a fairly accurate indication of the strength of ovulation.
Good luck!

I do not have any resolution except to get KU! LOL. I will be going in for testing on the 31st to see if we're ready for the trigger then HOPEFULLY we'll do our 1st IUI on the 2nd. I bought us tickets to see the Van Gogh show in the afternoon so we don't sit at home staring at my uterus.
I am so excited and nervous. GUHHHHhhhhh make time go faster!
me:33 my wife:32 married in June '12
LONG road through IF ending in heartbreak and frustration.
Looks like exciting things are happening around here! Hoping that the new year brings us all beautiful BFP's!
Today was CD 12 for us. I went in for monitoring and there was 1 follicle 22mm same as it was yesterday. The nurse advised me to trigger tonight and IUI tomorrow or Sunday depending on what my bloodwork showed. Later today she called and said to trigger tonight after 8 and come in for iui on Sunday at 9:20 am. I'm really hoping that this is good timing. Last time I think I was surging on my own so I triggered on CD 14 and had the iui the next day. This cycle has been very different, the follicle is bigger and iui is happening 37.5 hrs after trigger. The nurse said that cycles can very and it's nothing to worry about. Hoping and praying that this eggie and timing brings us a BFP for my DW's bday in January.
Sending good luck vibes and baby dust to all!!!
