Make up your f*ing mind! (c/p mentioned)

in Trouble TTC
After a chemical pregnancy last cycle, I was looking forward to this cycle. Now, keep in mind that last cycle I didn't O until around cd28.

Fast forward to this cycle. I'm only on cd12 and it looks like I already O'd. The tech didn't see anything but a big ol' corpus luteum on my right ovary. No other potentially mature follicles. I only did 5 days of letrozole and two of Bravelle, compared to 5 days of letrozole, 5 days of estrogen, and 10 days of Bravelle last cycle. Oh, and there is essentially no chance I could be pregnant because DH *happened* to have hormone issues from his post-vasectomy reversal treatment. I'm not mad at him, of course, just mad at the whole situation. We could have been fine with either my problem or his, but both of them together completely kills this cycle.

WTF! Why can't my stupid ovaries decide what they're doing?

All I can do now is wait to hear from my RE's office and wait for AF. Consoling words from them will not help. The biggest comfort they could give me is set up the plan for next cycle so I can work towards something that has a chance of success.

    I finally chased down test results (I hate my local clinic) and talked to the nurse at my RE's clinic (very helpful). Ovulation is confirmed. Could have been 2-3 days ago even. She is flabbergasted that my cycles were so different from each other. I have a phone consult with the RE on Monday, which should help. It's also oddly comforting that she is as confused as I am.

    So sorry that this cycle didn't work out :(

    Trying to have baby #1 since April 2013

    DH SA March,May 2014 - Low motility and shape issues. On vitamins per RE to help

    Me testing April 3, 2014 - FSH and LH good, HSG showed blocked right tube

    April 29, 2014 - First RE appt., right tube needs to be removed and possibly left also if

    it's bad too. RE suggests going straight to IVF

    June 4, 2014 - LAP/HSC and unexpected endo. removed but tubes got to stay!

    June 13, 2014 - Post-Op appointment. We decide where to go next since main issue

    is MFI influenced. Trying naturally until decision... Repeat SA  in September. Aiming for IUI #1 November 2014.

    So sorry for your lost cycle. :( I hope they give you a good plan that includes some excellent monitoring! And perhaps adding OPKs to the mix just in case?
