@misshelen86 Any word on if they can fit you in for an earlier US?
It's funny how it's the little things in life that mean the most...not where you live, or what you drive, or the price tag on your clothes... There's no dollar sign on a piece of mind, this I've come to know! *ZBB*
@NYTino24 My ultrasound was originally booked for the end of October. They moved me up to the end of August instead. Keeping FX the RE will still accept me without having had the U/S yet.. by the time I get in to see the RE, it will have been done!
Me: 35 DH: 35 TTC since 9/2018
Dx: MFI 10/19- First RE visit 2/20- DH had surgery for bilateral varicoceles 7/20- IUI with 5 mg letrozole- BFN 9/20- IVF. 9 eggs retrieved, 9 mature, 8 fertilized with ICSI, 7 blasts, 4 PGT-A normal 11/20- Mock transfer/ERA 12/20- FET #1- transferred one 4AB- BFN 3/21- FET #2- transferred one 3AB- BFP! Due Dec 2021 12/21- Baby girl born!
@misshelen86 glad most of your BW came back normal...hopefully the FSH number isn’t concerning. I hope they can get your referral in before you actually have your US!
@hanshotfirst77 So sorry your results aren’t exactly what you wanted. I’m glad to hear you’ll be able to move forward with the ER. I hope that you’re still able to do your October transfer.
@emeraldduchess So glad to hear your results came back normal!! What a relief!

Well, I just finished with my baseline US and my overaries are looking good - they mixed my Lupron and gave me a million instructions. We're a go to start stimming on Sunday!
Ladies who've been on progesterone post-O, how long did it take for AF to show after you stopped? After today's BFN I'm ready to hit the reset button. We were lucky to get a follow-up appointment with the RE on Thursday next week to go over the RPL results and decide our next steps. Right now DH and I are thinking another cycle of TI with progesterone before we go to IUI, but we'll see what our doc recommends.
@emeraldduchess been a while since I've been on the suppositories, but I wanna say it took maybe 2 days for AF to show for me. Maybe even 1 day??

Okay so much good news on here! I'm still trying to catch up but...
@misshelen86 yay for normal labs! I hope they can squeeze you in earlier too. My RE had a 6-7 week waiting list too so I get you on the waiting frustration 😬.
@emeraldduchess I'm sorry for the BFN friend (read your TWW update). It's amazing how the Progesterone impacted your LP! Lots of FX for next time, friend. 💜
@ruby696 excellent news!! Lots of positive vibes for good eggs.
@shoogapuff that sounds like an excellent plan! I hope the Clomid + IUI will do the trick 👌.
Thanks, ladies. AF actually showed within 36 hours(during which I let myself enjoy a little much needed wine!), so we're ready to move forward. I don't know if our RE appointment on Thursday will allow us to do anything different this cycle, but we'll see. Right now DH and I are researching TI+progesterone (what we just did) vs. IUI. I don't know if the RE will suggest anything to help with ovulation.
@ruby696 good luck starting your meds today! Do your job, ovaries!
@emeraldduchess IMO (not that you asked for it...) IUI was a waste of money. Especially since you pay for the IUI but they also tell you to have as much sex as you want because there's no such thing as too much semen. Okay, so then what am I paying for? I guess if you have CM issues, then it might be a good thing? Or if YH has issues with sperm maybe? I can see the advantage of the sperm wash and IUI in those cases.
@ruby696 I'm starting to come to the same conclusion looking at DH's and my test results. His SA was good and as far as I know, I don't have any CM issues. At this point, we're thinking that for us, the odds of IUI and TI are about the same. We'll see what the RE says, but my guess is she'll focus on my wonky LP/hormones because based on all the test so far, that's probably what's making it harder for me to get and stay KU.
