Bummed :(

edited April 2014 in Trouble TTC
I was just so hopeful this cycle!  It was the first cycle after my Lap.  My RE is extremely hopeful.  He really thinks the Endo is what was causing us not to get pregnant.  So, I was really hopeful!  I actually had two days of positive OPKs.  In the few months I've done OPKs, I don't remember ever getting a clear positive, but I did this cycle.  So, of course, that increased my hopes.  But...just like in past cycles, 10 DPO (CD23), my temp dropped, so now I'm just waiting for AF to show up.  We're still doing a couple of cycles on our own before going back to the RE. 

On the positive side...I did ovulate though!  The nurse just called me and told me my progesterone last Thursday afternoon (CD 18) was 11.  She said anything above 10 means I ovulated.

DH: 34  
Aug 2013 - SA: Counts & Motility = great, Morph = 1%; RE didn't seem too concerned

Me: 26
Jan. 2014 - Blood work ordered by obgyn:  Prolactin = high & AMH = low (0.73)
Feb. 6, 2014 - Repeat blood work ordered by obgyn:  Prolactin = normal & AMH = low (0.9)
Feb.  20, 2014 - First appointment with RE
Feb. 24, 2014 - HSG scheduled;  DX:  one tube definitely open & one tube could be blocked
Mar. 7, 2014 - CD 21 Blood work for Progesterone; DX:  Progesterone level at 5.2; shows I ovulated but was low
Mar. 28, 2014 - Laparoscopy; DX:  Tubes open.  Found some endometriosis and had that removed.
 
History:
Started TTC:  June 2012
June 2012 - March 2013:  When it Happens/it happens method = BFN
March 2013:  Started using Fertility Friend
Cycles 1 - 15 with Fertility Friend = BFN
Cycle 16 - Benched due to Laparoscopy
Cycle 17 - Natural Cycle = BFN
Cycle 18 - Natural Cycle = BFN
Cycle 19 - Natural Cycle = BFN
 

Current Cycle:
Cycle 20 = Natural Cycle

    Congrats for ovulating!! I hope implantation rescues your temps...but if not, I've heard (on TB and elsewhere) that the HSG improves fertility for 3 cycles. So good luck!!

    I'm sorry!  I felt the same way after my lap - especially since my RE told me that she's seen patients never get their period after the surgery because they became pregnant - definitely not me!  Hang in there - you've got ovulation going for you!  :)
