Ugh!! I am on CD32 and we are 2 1/2 weeks post IUI. No signs of dear old AF, but I keep getting BFNs!!! I talked to the RE office yesterday, if AF doesn't come tomorrow and I still get a BFN they are going to order some bloodwork.
I hate my body! It is so stupid-- it can't remember how to get pregnant and then it has this wickedly cruel warped sense of humor and has been taunting me.
Thanks for letting me vent!! :-)

I used clomid and triggered with an HCG shot the night of our U/S (9/5). They saw a very nice follicle. We did the IUI on 9/7. The RN did mention that I possibly did not ovulate, but my progesterone level was tested last month and it was 36.8-- so she thought that wasn't highly likely.

Oh yea it definitely sounds like you Oed, but why did she even say that you maybe didn't? So you're not on any progesterone supplements that could be delaying your period then? If you haven't started your period by tomorrow, I'd go in for a beta just to see what is going on.
Sorry that is so frustrating. Maybe it will be a late BFP?

TTC#1 May 2009- July 2010 on our own with no luck
Started with RE in August 2010, dx with unexplained IF and then finally our 3rd IUI cycle using Follistim and Trigger resulted in our wonderful little man. Born 12/2/11
TTC#2 Never really prevented, but were careful early on as Dr. reccomended
Surprise BFP 12/16/13, started progesterone immediately as first numbers came back low, but betas were good. Progesterone wasnt enough. Natural MC 12/24/13.
BFP #4 2/18/14. EDD 10/30/14... Ruptured ectopic with L tube removed & D&C 3/7/14.
BFP #5 7/27/14. EDD 4/9/15... m/c @ 5w4d.
IVF #1 Oct 2014 - antagonist protocol: 9R, 7M, 5F. 3dt of 3 Grade 2 embies. BFN.
IVF #2 Jan 2015 cancelled due to dominant follicle. Converted to IUI #1. BFFN
IVF #2.1 March 2015 cancelled due to dominant follicle.
BFP #6 (SUPRISE!) 3/19/15. EDD 11/30/15... CP at 4w2d.
IUI #2: Clomid + Follistim = 3 follies. BFN.
IVF #2.2 May 2015 - horrible response to micro lupron flare protocol: 3R, 3M, 3F. 3dt of 2 Grade 3 embies. BFFN.
BFP #7 (beyond surprised again!) 4/26/16. EDD 1/5/17. beautiful betas!!!! and then near-fatal hemorrhagic corpus luteum. turns out baby was ectopic after all; another lap 5/6 (@24dpo).

This happens to me pretty frequently. It blows . It's usually some sort of hormone imbalance with me, either progesterone or estrogen. Hope you get it figured out soon.
CD 34, ( I was off by a day yesterday) BFN again today, still no period though.
Talked to RN and they ordered bloodwork today-- Beta and Progesterone. Negative beta and progesterone was low.
Definitely NOT pregnant.
Since we hadn't tested progesterone earlier in the month, we do not know for sure if I O'd this month or not, but the thought is I didn't. I had a great number last month though, I guess we may start doing monthly progesterones.
I am bloated, but no other signs to indicate AF is coming. Ugh.
I hate my body. I had no problem with getting pregnant with my 5 year old DS or my DS that I miscarried 2 years ago. My body just decided to evict him February 2012 and not allow any other tenants.

How terribly frustrating. Are you going to take provera or something to jump start your next cycle since they don't think you o'ed? Or are they just going to have you wait it out? How frustrating!

Taking a break from herbs and just riding the healthy train.
Planning medicated cycle end of summer. FX I get KU before then!!!
If I don't start tomorrow, the RN mentioned prescribing something that could help me start my period-- no sure what it would be. I do have an appt set up already for next week, so we will be discussing next steps.
I am giving myself 9 more months-- then I throw in the towel. I'll turn 40 this year and if I don't manage to get pregnant before that... I will resign myself to the fact that I will not ever be pregnant again and that we will be a family of 3. I am so very thankful we were blessed with my sweet DS, but if I had known 5+ years ago that he was going to be my one and only pregnancy, I may have done some things differently.

I'm sorry, hon. Did they not check estrogen level or do an ultrasound? You could have ovulated and still ended up with an estrogen producing cyst which could be causing the delay in period. It is supposedly pretty common to get cysts with clomid. Because of my decrepit ovaries, I get cysts with BCPs and the prevent AF for me. If it is a cyst, then there are a few treatments (BCPs - doesn't work for me, triggering the cyst - has worked for me, and draining the cyst - has worked for me).
Also, if it is a cyst, then Provera (or other types of progesterone) may not bring on AF.
I'm sorry you are dealing with this!
