  • 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!!

  • 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!!
  • @riveridgional I will be checking in the morning tomorrow for your results!! :) I am proud of you for waiting, we all know how hard it is.

  • 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!

    @riveridgional I hate this so much for you.

    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.

    *giant hugs*

    riveridgional .   :-(    I'm sorry about your BFN! I really hate that we have to go through this heartache cycle after cycle.


    Married for 7 years, TTC for 4 years
    dx:  Diminished Ovarian Reserve
    2 Clomid IUI's + 4 injectable IUI's= 5 BFNs and 1 mc




  • Hi ladies,

    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.
    TTC since May 2013
    Mild PCOS, Compound Heterozygous MTHFR
    No Folic acid/pharmaceuticals/supplements (too many to list- private message me if interested), IVIL infusion
  • @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.
    TTC #1: March 2011 (slightly before)
    Fur-children: 3 dogs + 2 cats (all rescued)
    dx: Endometriosis and Fibroids 
    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
    ER-Retrieved 22 eggs 10 fertilized
    4/4 day 5 embryos were normal for PGS!!! 2 boys/2 girls
    FET 1/10/2017  
    Gallbladder surgery 1/10/2017
    FET estimated end of Feb, beginning of March

  • @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!
