@lablover78 sorry you are out this cycle . Do you use a natural progesterone cream or a prescribed one? What brand and where did you get it?
I am counting on being out this cycle. I started spotting last night (10dpo), my temp was still elevated this morning at 11dpo but still spotting. I just feel like I am about to start my period. I get a heavy/dull feeling in my lower abdomen and lady parts when I am about to start, the tenderness in my breasts is almost gone indicating a drop in progesterone....also 3 BFNs this morn on a CB early, IC early and wondfo. I am trying to look at the positives right now. I successfully increased my LP from 9 to 11 days and I ovulated a day earlier. I am going to ask my doc about taking my Clomid days 4-8 instead to see if that moved up my O date and ask about starting a natural progesterone cream.
TTC since May 2015 with domestic partner of 13 years. Me 33 OH 33. No ovulation or natural menstruation. Normal SA.
Diagnosed PCOS February 2016
First cycle 50mg Clomid 5/3/16, O'd CD 19 BFN
Second cycle 50mg Clomid 6/1/16 O'd CD 18 BFN Third cycle Clomid 6/29/16 O'd CD 16 BFP @11dpo! EDD April 3 and praying things work out!
Hey ladies!! My last update left us at me having a random ovulation with no previous period since December. After that my RE prescribed Femara and a trigger shot for my next cycle, which started on 6/10. Had 2 monitoring appointments, at my last one my largest follicles were 18,16,15,&14mm. Did my trigger shot 2 days later on 6/24. We also got my husband's results back and he passed with flying colors, thankfully! I haven't gotten an absolute positive OPK yet, but they're the darkest ones I've ever seen, but still a shade lighter than the control line...but I do have egg white/stretchy CM for the first time ever, which I hear is a positive sign! Other than that, my bobs don't hurt, but I've been having pelvic pain I assume I can attribute to the trigger shot. We have been BD'ing as directed, so we are now on the 2 week wait! Scheduled Beta 2 days before my birthday on 7/11/16!! What an awesome birthday present that would be!!!

@JDW0325 - Congratulations! Posts like that always give me more hope! @zigzag8412 - Sorry you are feeling that way right now...this journey is such an emotional roller coaster. Hopefully it is a good sign? GL in this cycle! @sarah0985 - Welcome, and good luck in your journey! @lablover78 - So sorry to hear about your OPK, hoping it starts to look up! I certainly know how that is right now. Also, I would totally be struggling sitting in a room full of bellies. Our future babies will totally be worth all of the $$$...and they will be all the more special because of the journey we have gone through! @ReesaAnne16 - Sorry about the BFN ...I am totally awful for symptom spotting too. It makes me crazy! It is so nice to find friends (outside of this wonderful group of course) who have had the same experience...I am glad that you have, and I completely agree with everything that you said about this group. It is so wonderful. @harleyquinn0621 - My last IUI I remember feeling bloated after and had some cramping. I think it is pretty normal. GL with your IUI and in the TWW! @MandyBeeSLP - Welcome! GL meeting with your doctor and on your journey! @JRB3 - Welcome and GL with your Clomid cycles! @Starlight811 - Oh those progesterone suppositories! GL on Friday! I will be POAS with you that day! Hopefully it will be good news for both of us! @meli123k - GL with your IUI cycle. I will be POAS on Friday as well...so also waiting....we can do it! @Worldtravler0522 - GL on your appt on Friday! I hope you shed enough lining! Fx you can start those stims on Friday! @SoonToBeMommaHowe - I am also trying diet and exercise and hoping that it helps! @Ducks&Cats - Sorry about your BFN ...I also get into baby planning mode like crazy when it gets really hard! Fx that it is just still early for testing! @Samanthaarielxo - So sorry that you didn't ovulate...I am currently in the same boat. It really sucks....hoping this cycle works for you. I feel like I literally could have typed out everything you said about what I am currently going through. It is so disheartening, and it feels so unfair. All I tell you is that I am sorry you are going through it too...hoping things turn around for us really soon! @clt2pwm11 - Hoping those follies are big enough! I am currently feeling the same way as 2 of my cycles have been cancelled due to lack of follie growth. Hoping they can figure it out for you! I am also slightly worried that I will never O. @jmr1515 - Welcome! GL with your Clomid cycle!
Update: As mentioned before, this cycle was cancelled due to lack of follie growth in time. However, we decided to continue to track my cycle on Ovia and TTC ourselves without treatment this month (even though chances that I Oed are quite slim), I tend to have a longer cycle, so I figured we would try it. I'm POAS on Friday with very low expectations and then we have an appt with our FS on July 5th to hopefully figure out what our next steps are (he is consulting with a team of doctors). I'm hoping he increases my Gonal-F dose, as the highest he has ever put me on is 125iu. Still have that small part of me that is just hoping for a BFP on Friday....but I'm trying to make her pipe down haha.
I went to my niece's child dedication this past weekend and we were literally the only ones there without kids, and I found it very very difficult. However, I've been trying to stay connected to a lot of my friends who do not have kids too, because I find that so helpful in trying to stay grateful for the positive things in the stage at my life I am at right now, even though all of these bumps in our IF journey have made it quite difficult to do so.
Again, I just want to say that I am so thankful for everyone here....no matter where you are in your journey....you're struggling and you get it...and I am just so incredibly grateful to have the opportunity to connect with all of you wonderful people .

My GYN started me on Chlomid this month, this morning was my last pill. It's been a rough five days. Not looking forward to doing it again; crazy depression SE.
Tomorrow is my HSG. Really hoping they find something fixable. I'll update tomorrow after the procedure.

I had my CD4 bloodwork and ultrasound yesterday. The RE said the ovaries are borderline polycystic. He said it changes nothing with this current testing cycle with 100mg Clomid. So I started my first dose of Clomid this morning. I have my HSG on Friday. I'm hoping that goes smoothly!

@Megzb510 good luck! im also mobile and can't tag easily but I have been reading everyone's posts and find them helpful and comforting to know others are in a similar boat as me. Not that I wish anyone to be in this boat but it's a safe haven to post here. I am 13 dpo today after first clomid cycle and BFN this morning. im sad. I have to call my OBGYN to start my next clomid round and I'm also going to request an RE appoinment. I'm tired of always waiting. Waiting to ovulate, waiting to test, waiting for my damn long cycles. Waiting when I did my fertility test results. Always waiting.
I kinda checked out of the boards since middle of April when I went on vacation (and had to cancel IUI #2 because I didn't have mature enough follies before we departed).
Then in May my period didn't come back..just spotted...so after some serious run around from my nurse (a new one) 2 weeks later they finally prescribed me to take estrogen for 21 days and progesterone for the 5 days to get my period...I am now on CD 1 (roughly 81 days since my last cycle) and hope to get a chance to go for IUI #2 in July.
None of my medical tests and treatments have been covered by my insurance...those that have some coverage are lucky.

HSG came back normal today. Tubes were completely open and I got to hear one of my least favorite sentences from the radiologist "there seems to be no reason you should not be able to have a baby."
It is strange how being told I'm healthy made me feel more broken...
So I'm hoping the Chlomid is the game changer this cycle.

I didn't get notification that I had been tagged! I was wondering where my check in was!
I'm taking provera right now to start a new cycle. I will start 200mg Clomid CD 5-9. If this doesn't work I'm going to get a referral to an RE. So fingers crossed I ovulate this time! I have a feeling that my kids is going to be difficult my whole life XD
What is the most expensive thing you've ever bought just for yourself? Uh. That's a hard one. I would have to guess maybe my Nintendo 3ds. It was 175$. I can't think of anything else I bought for just me. And the 3ds was supposed to be shared with my husband but I hog it. XD

Re: TTTC Checkin 06/22/2016
I am counting on being out this cycle. I started spotting last night (10dpo), my temp was still elevated this morning at 11dpo but still spotting. I just feel like I am about to start my period. I get a heavy/dull feeling in my lower abdomen and lady parts when I am about to start, the tenderness in my breasts is almost gone indicating a drop in progesterone....also 3 BFNs this morn on a CB early, IC early and wondfo. I am trying to look at the positives right now. I successfully increased my LP from 9 to 11 days and I ovulated a day earlier. I am going to ask my doc about taking my Clomid days 4-8 instead to see if that moved up my O date and ask about starting a natural progesterone cream.
Third cycle Clomid 6/29/16 O'd CD 16 BFP @11dpo!

@zigzag8412 - Sorry you are feeling that way right now...this journey is such an emotional roller coaster. Hopefully it is a good sign? GL in this cycle!
@sarah0985 - Welcome, and good luck in your journey!
@lablover78 - So sorry to hear about your OPK, hoping it starts to look up! I certainly know how that is right now. Also, I would totally be struggling sitting in a room full of bellies. Our future babies will totally be worth all of the $$$...and they will be all the more special because of the journey we have gone through!
@ReesaAnne16 - Sorry about the BFN
@harleyquinn0621 - My last IUI I remember feeling bloated after and had some cramping. I think it is pretty normal. GL with your IUI and in the TWW!
@MandyBeeSLP - Welcome! GL meeting with your doctor and on your journey!
@JRB3 - Welcome and GL with your Clomid cycles!
@Starlight811 - Oh those progesterone suppositories! GL on Friday! I will be POAS with you that day! Hopefully it will be good news for both of us!
@meli123k - GL with your IUI cycle. I will be POAS on Friday as well...so also waiting....we can do it!
@Worldtravler0522 - GL on your appt on Friday! I hope you shed enough lining! Fx you can start those stims on Friday!
@SoonToBeMommaHowe - I am also trying diet and exercise and hoping that it helps!
@Ducks&Cats - Sorry about your BFN
@Samanthaarielxo - So sorry that you didn't ovulate...I am currently in the same boat. It really sucks....hoping this cycle works for you. I feel like I literally could have typed out everything you said about what I am currently going through. It is so disheartening, and it feels so unfair. All I tell you is that I am sorry you are going through it too...hoping things turn around for us really soon!
@clt2pwm11 - Hoping those follies are big enough! I am currently feeling the same way as 2 of my cycles have been cancelled due to lack of follie growth. Hoping they can figure it out for you! I am also slightly worried that I will never O.
@jmr1515 - Welcome! GL with your Clomid cycle!
Update: As mentioned before, this cycle was cancelled due to lack of follie growth in time. However, we decided to continue to track my cycle on Ovia and TTC ourselves without treatment this month (even though chances that I Oed are quite slim), I tend to have a longer cycle, so I figured we would try it. I'm POAS on Friday with very low expectations and then we have an appt with our FS on July 5th to hopefully figure out what our next steps are (he is consulting with a team of doctors). I'm hoping he increases my Gonal-F dose, as the highest he has ever put me on is 125iu. Still have that small part of me that is just hoping for a BFP on Friday....but I'm trying to make her pipe down haha.
I went to my niece's child dedication this past weekend and we were literally the only ones there without kids, and I found it very very difficult. However, I've been trying to stay connected to a lot of my friends who do not have kids too, because I find that so helpful in trying to stay grateful for the positive things in the stage at my life I am at right now, even though all of these bumps in our IF journey have made it quite difficult to do so.
Again, I just want to say that I am so thankful for everyone here....no matter where you are in your journey....you're struggling and you get it...and I am just so incredibly grateful to have the opportunity to connect with all of you wonderful people
QOTW: Probably my Bachelor and Master degrees....unless you are talking about something tangible...then maybe my DSLR camera!

My GYN started me on Chlomid this month, this morning was my last pill. It's been a rough five days. Not looking forward to doing it again; crazy depression SE.
Tomorrow is my HSG. Really hoping they find something fixable. I'll update tomorrow after the procedure.
QOTW: Would have to be my car, followed by a trip to Berlin with my BFF when we were in college.

im also mobile and can't tag easily but I have been reading everyone's posts and find them helpful and comforting to know others are in a similar boat as me. Not that I wish anyone to be in this boat but it's a safe haven to post here.
I am 13 dpo today after first clomid cycle and BFN this morning.
im sad. I have to call my OBGYN to start my next clomid round and I'm also going to request an RE appoinment. I'm tired of always waiting. Waiting to ovulate, waiting to test, waiting for my damn long cycles. Waiting when I did my fertility test results. Always waiting.
Then in May my period didn't come back..just spotted...so after some serious run around from my nurse (a new one) 2 weeks later they finally prescribed me to take estrogen for 21 days and progesterone for the 5 days to get my period...I am now on CD 1 (roughly 81 days since my last cycle) and hope to get a chance to go for IUI #2 in July.
None of my medical tests and treatments have been covered by my insurance...those that have some coverage are lucky.
