@roosh1982 : seems like you may have gotten a bad batch or something. The one on the left (first pic) isn't valid, and the one on the right looks like it needs to sit some more for the 'pink' to settle in a line or go away. I had one like that this morning too. The test line is still light, but not as faint as it was yesterday. It's also relatively close to the control line. Your beta is on the 28, right? If so, you still have plenty of time. I got my first hopefully real positive on Friday (faint) and my beta is on Monday. It's hard to stop testing once you've started... I have my fingers and toes crossed for you!
I had my monitoring this morning. My lining is all the way down to 4.33mm. Really upsetting. It's almost back down to what it was when I started on the meds. I need to figure out a way to try to increase lining without prescribed meds! I had two measurable follicles on the right and two on the left. The two on the right were just over 10mm. One on the left was just over 10 and the other was 12.5. So at least those are growing, but my lining needs to get to work! I am frustrated.

@AdorkablePixie boo! I hope your lining gets better! Glad to hear the follies are going in the right direction. Are you trying the red raspberry leaf tea for increasing lining? I know that's helped us. Really hoping your cycle starts moving forward for you!!! FX!
I had my IUI this morning. It went great and DH provided an awesome sample with over 72 million sperm.
Now into my 2ww..my beta is scheduled for Tuesday Sept 8 because of Labor Day. I won't test at home until at least the Sunday of labor day but will probably hold out until Monday.
@adorkablepixie why can't you take any prescribed meds? My lining wasn't as thick as they wanted this past week (last cycle as well) so both cycles I took estrogen tablets vaginally that really help thicken it up. Is there a reason you can't do something like that? I am glad your follicles are growing and that you have a bunch but I really hope you can get your lining thick so that you can get your BFP..did the dr give you any ideas as to why it's thinning and what you can do to increase it?
@kidshrink good luck with your beta..can't wait to hear. How many IUI cycles have you done?
@Drove2u that would be a huge bummer if they canceled your cycle. I had mine canceled last month because I didn't respond to Clomid so we'll see how I respond this cycle. Hope we both get good news!!
@AdorkablePixie have you tried raw Brazil nuts? I had a handful everyday last cycle while I was on Clomid because I was afraid it would thin my lining. At my ultrasound I didn't have good follies (lots of them but too small to work with) but my lining looked really good. I guess I don't know if it was the nuts or if the Clomid just didn't do anything... But it's worth a shot!

@babyexpress I go on Wednesday. It should be the day they tell me to trigger but I'm nervous about the cyst. I hope it went down and we can continue this cycle. I finished clomid so now just waiting for Wednesday.
Thanks ladies! Will keep you posted! @rachlee2010 : this was my first IUI. However, there were a lot of things different with this cycle, starting with the surgery I had just a little over a month ago. It really helped to finally get my lining above the 8mm bar, but I am nervous as to whether it's in good enough shape now to sustain a pregnancy. Time will tell I guess! I was also on injectibles, and started acupuncture. I had also started exercising again and lost about 8lbs between my last medicated cycle and now (I'm not particularly overweight but my goal was to lose 15). So who knows what did the magic.
@Drove2u my next appt is Wednesday also and I pray everything looks good as well, for the both of us

@KidShrink and @babyexpress they noticed it during cd4 when I still had my period. The doc wasn't too concerned then and said it was "medium sized" and that I can start clomid which I did. But if it hasn't shrunk I'm afraid they will tell me I can't trigger. I haven't gotten it monitored since cd 4. FX to you guys too that we all get good news too.
@Drove2u : if it's not producing estrogen (which it wasn't), there should be no reason no worry. Mine was 24mm at CD3 and went down to 10mm at CD6. By CD9, it was gone. And unless all the HPTs I took are wrong, I got my BFP I'm sure you'll be fine
@Krista537 : I got the regular and digital FRER duo (one with the lines, one with the yes/no- the 'YES +' this morning actually sort of managed to convince DH, he was having a hard time with the faint/not so faint lines).. FRER is the most sensitive and can detect pregnancy up to 5 days before you're expected period. FX for you!!!
@AdorkablePixie sorry I was away for weekend. Not supposed to go for beta until Wednesday but got what appears to be my period today (too heavy I think for implantation) and took a HPT and negative going to call RE tomorrow.
@HBamama2B Dh and I went to a natural/organic food store yesterday and picked up some red raspberry tea leaf capsules for me to take. I started them yesterday afternoon. They had the tea too, but they don't me that the capsules were more concentrated, so I bought those instead. I will get to see tomorrow if they are actually doing anything for me!
@rachlee2010 FX for you this time around!! I hope you get your BFP. They haven't prescribed me anything and I really don't want them to. I don't want to take those tablets. lol Of course, I will if I have to. I found red raspberry tea leaf capsules yesterday so I started taking them yesterday afternoon. Hopefully they help. They don't seem too concerned about my lining at this point, maybe because the follicles aren't big yet.
@Mando15 I have not tried raw brazil nuts, but thank you for the tip! I think I will try those, I love nuts so it's worth a shot!
@laur2444 Aww. I am so sorry!! I hope the next round is successful for you. What a bummer. Keep your head up!
@KidShrink I hope the surgery and working out helps you get your BFP. FX!
The nurse called me yesterday. She said my estrogen was at 106, so that's good. She said they're going to keep me at 112 IU of Menopur as I am progressing nicely. I guess at this point they aren't really worried about the lining because my follicles are still small. I go back in tomorrow morning for more monitoring.

It's official! HCG is at 81! I have to go for my second beta on Wednesday to make sure all is increasing as we hope I'm super happy, and truly thought this day would never come! FX for lots more BFPs in this group! I'll be thinking of you! If I have one piece of advice for the 'unexplained' ladies (like me until a month and a half ago), make sure you have an RE who's really trying to find the cause of your infertility. I had a thin lining and I strongly believe that the hysteroscopy is what fixed it and made this possible, with the laparoscopy removing all that endo my right ovary was stuck in, making ovulation on that side completely useless. Just meds didn't help, and there were two really good reasons for that.

This 2ww is taking forever. Ive been so nauseous lately that I though maybe I am pregnant, so I caved,and I tested, and I got a BFN. As expected. Now, I'm depressed.
It's so stupid, I know it's early, I know I shouldn't test, I know I will be upset, I know I will be depressed--- but the optimist in me wanted to test because WHAT IF it is a positive.
But my optimistic side is never right, the dark cloud continues to follow me. Ugh! Why? It's so annoying! Beta Friday. Probably will test before then bc I already broke my willpower.

@Colleen0516 : you still have plenty of time! I got my first 'real' but faint positive only on Friday. Your today was my last Thursday in terms of days to beta. I totally have my fingers crossed for you.
I wasn't great...but I felt so nauseous still and just different that I was pretty confident. It's not normal to feel nauseous once you have no hCG in your body, and I had never reacted that way to Ovidrel before. And has weird as it sounds (because really the blast is the size of a poppyseed now), my uterus feels full/stretched/weird...that one is in for one hell of a shock, cuz that's apparently just starting. DH was worse (and pissed!)...I really give the poor guy a bad rep! He's now finally over the moon!
@kidshrink, you don't give him a bad rep, you give him a REAL rep, SOOOO many husbands are the same way (including mine). He was NOT Thrilled that I tested, but he was Understanding.
I melted down bc I don't want to move to IVF; there's a lot of pressure on this positive/negative.
But as always- I'm back up and running again. Ready for what tomorrow brings. I WILL be like you and test every day til my beta-- (can't help it) Sadly, it makes me feel more in control and as a result, I feel better.
