Only Me

I'm pretty sure that my screwed up body does things that could be put in a medical book. So I did a 1/2 natural cycle with clomid and TI which was a BFN last week. I went in today for a baseline to start my FET and I had a 23mm cyst. No shock there just figured I would have to take BCP for a  couple weeks. Nope not at all. Its a follicle and I'm having a LH surge, I'm freaking ovulating. WTF?!?! I just finished AF like 2 days ago. My lining is craptastic at like a 4-5 but a follie at 24. So TI again till Thursday. I'm all about BDing but man it sucks when you have to. So here I am going to get my hopes all up again that maybe I can be a miracle and get pregnant on our own. Well I guess all I can do is hope, have sex and wait lol. I truly have a one of a kind body, nothing is normal about me. Has anyone heard of this before? Happy Monday ladies!!

    That's odd! I'm sorry, how frustrating to be dealing with.

    If you're wanting or needing to do that same protocol again, it might be helpful to get a trigger shot. A) you won't be BDing for 7 nights in a row and B) it would help you ovulate.

  • I did do a trigger last time. I think they were trying to see if I would ovulate on my own. When the follie got to maximum size they thought I was going to but had me take the trigger just in case. I would do it a month in a row if it worked lol.

  • The female body is capable of crazy things!  And, an infertile female body is insanely capable of endless surprises!  I think this is exciting news, but I can see why you would be apprehensive to get your hopes up, again.  Good luck!!
