Thanks @Aera11, @Whiggrrl65 and @lily55d ! I held out today and didn't test! I'm so proud of myself right now since this is the longest I've ever waited to test but so anxious for tomorrow morning! No spotting yet today, so fingers crossed it stays away. I'm trying not to read too much into anything, but it's so hard! I'll definitely update tomorrow morning!!
Married to DH 10/6/12
TTC since 5/14
Unexplained with (controlled) hypothyroidism and suspected ovulatory dysfunction (but, I do ovulate on my own)
Clomid 50 mg 3/15 (unmonitored) - BFN
Clomid 50 mg + metformin 4/15 (unmonitored) - BFN
First RE appt. 5/15; Natural cycle 5/15 monitored with 2 mature follicles and Pregnyl Trigger (full dose) + prometrium - BFN
6/15 HSG - clear tubes & normal uterus; great PCT test results
TI - 100 mg Clomid + prometrium (AM & PM) + vaginal estrace (AM & PM) 6-7/15 (monitored) --> no additional response and thinned lining - BFN
TI - Injectables (follistim + Gonal-F, Ganirelix, & 1/2 dose Pregnyl) + prometrium (AM & PM) 9/15 --> 3-7 mature follicles (3 definites and 4+ that could have matured due to trigger) @ O -->BFN + 5 large cysts
Ahhhhhh! I'm crossing my fingers so hard for you @riveridgional!!
Me too!! Good luck!! It is so hard to wait, but I'm starting to believe that waiting is better than seeing that BFN.
I'm on CD 6, day 4 of 50 mg clomid.... IUI likely end of next week since I tend to ovulate early, like CD 11/12. Follicle scan on Sunday- FX for a couple nice ones!!
BFN ( DH wants to try one more round of injects, but I'm not so sure. My gut tells me it's a problem that would only be fixed by IVF. I'll probably do another round but think it'll just be a waste of money. I hate this. I'm actually feeling more angry than sad and I don't know why. . . Thanks for rooting me on, ladies!

the anger is always harder for me to deal with than sadness - sad I know how to do - angry is more of a new thing all the trouble ttc has brought me and it feels harder to work through (for me any way)- be kind to yourself today and treat yourself to something.
Sorry so late- busy work week. I'm on day 21. Wasn't home when my cycle started so my OPK monitor wouldn't test me this month and I have repeatedly forgotten to take my temp so we're just winging it. I made a vision board a few weeks ago when I was having a really hard week & I did a feng shui layout so it has all areas of my life- not just babies. I feel like some of the areas have started showing up in my life...hoping it's a sign that our family will be following soon.
@riveridgional I'm sorry! The ups and downs are the absolute worst.
I am not a fan of the dresses that are shorter in the front and longer in the back. I feel like they look better when you have some curves & unfortunately I have the body of a 14 yr old boy.

@riveridgional I'm so sorry for your BFN ( you should definitely go do something relaxing today, whether that be go out for drinks, massage/pedi or nothing at all.
2 Laps and 1 Abdominal Myomectomy 6 rounds of clomid 5 rounds of iui Several HSG's sprinkled throughout the years to up my chances of a BFP Several dilation of cervix because they suspect the scar tissue is hindering it from fully opening (partially adds to the severe cramps all month) IVF #1 Gonal F, Menopur and Cetrotide ER 12/1/2016

@riveridgional I am so sad for you Talk to your Dr with DH. Maybe hearing what Dr says about another round vs ivf will help put everyone's mind at ease and you can make the best educated decision. See why he doesn't want to do ivf, is he scared of the money, stress, meds, etc. I always take my time to grieve, get mad, cry and then I dive right into research. I look for the next step. Focusing on the next step always makes me look towards the future and use each bad day as a learning experience. We are here to listen to you vent if you need to!

Just had my CD9 scan after 50 mg clomid on CD3-7 and I have two big follies on the right ovary: 16.8 and 17.8 mm. I tend to ovulate early, so this isn't a surprise! we're scheduled for a scan and trigger on CD11 and IUI #3 on CD12. Ahhhhh!!! Getting excited again!!
