hahaha I know I google everything!

I liked the soft cups! I did like feeling cleaner ... I only kept mine in for like two hours then took it out before I went to bed. Perhaps next time I'll keep it in longer.

Just got home from doctor's appointment ... I have four follies, two on each side. Right side has a 22 and 24 mm folly, and left side has a 26 and 20 mm folly. I'm bummed the biggest one is on my left because that's my bad side with the damaged tube. Although my doctor assured me that your body makes up for it and the right tube can sweep over and scoop up the egg. Pretty crazy. Will be interesting to see what happens. I go back Monday for another ultrasound to make sure the ovulation took place, and if not, they give me a shot of hCG which basically gives the egg the extra boost to shoot it out. So we will be bd'ing through weekend! Has your doctor ever offered the extra ultrasound to make sure you did actually ovulate, and given the shot of hCG?

Side note ... same with us for FRG. We had a bad experience at our first duty station. Hopefully things are different here. So far, so good.

So you're a few days ahead of me, right? What cd? The dreaded 2ww :/

Good luck!!!

Yay! Those are great numbers. Fxd for you I am about to divorce my dr. He blew me off and gave me a bullshit answer thru his nurse today. And last month I was concerned ovulation didn't occur bc af was so short and light and he just said "its safe to assume it did"??? GRRRR. I am on cd 15 right now

Yeah you deserve better treatment. That's horrible. I hated my first doctor that I was dealing with during my ectopic so I had my PCM refer me to another one in the TRICARE network. Maybe you can do the same.

You're one day ahead of me, so we're in this together. fxd for both of us.

I'm sure you did O!! I had a +OPK on Saturday and Sunday morning, and it was negative today. We bd'ed both days, so hopefully something took.

I had my follow-up appointment today to make sure I o'd and if I needed the hCG trigger to push them out. Did not need the trigger, but I also didn't get clarity as to if I really did O or not. They think I did on my right side because there was some fluid, but my left side had a big cyst which is indicative of ovulation. My normal doctor was out because he had to tend to an emergency situation with a patient, so the nurse practitioner who filled in for him was NOT as helpful and clear in answering my questions. I've been googling like a maniac, but all I can really do is wait two weeks :/

I hate the 2ww!!!

That's really cool that they do a scan to ensure you ovulated. My dr. just assumes. Yes, the 2ww is horrible ugh hope it goes swiftly and productively for you. If i don't conceive this month I am going to insist upon a second scan (if i dont conceive, next month is my last cycle) So, heres to hoping. Do you have any symptoms?

I would definitely insist on getting the extra scan so you can really know if the clomid is doing its job. If you're getting follies and it's not doing its doing its job, you need to request the hCG Trigger to actually push the eggs out of the ovary. I do know that this shot is not covered under TRICARE and can run at about $185. But it will at least be good to know if you are ovulating properly. Didn't you say this is the first month you've gotten a +OPK?? That's such a great sign and I'm sure you are right on track. Did you get any O pains? Some women don't so don't stress if you didn't, but I had such bad cramping and bloating Saturday and Sunday when I was apparently ovulating. I am considering myself only 1dpo since I still have a +OPK yesterday, so I'm still a bit bloated. No symptoms here other than those O pains. I'm assuming since I O'd on CD 16 and CD 17, my period will come a bit later as well? Did your cycle get longer on clomid? Do you have any symptoms yet being on CD19?

So this is your second round doing clomid and next cycle would be (hopefully no next time!!) your third? What will your doctor do next? Mine said three tries before more tests but I don't know what that entails. I know he'd check the hubby.

This is my second monitored cycle. I had two unmonitored. So if nothing this month I would be going thru round five. And i use the term "monitored" loosely right now. UGH. As for symptoms, if you consider agitated one, then that's about it lol. And the last round i was on my dr said he didnt see the point of opks so i didnt use them. I didnt really notice O pains.. at least not how my neighbor and other I have known who used this medicine described pain. My cycle was a few days longer then it ever is last month. I had a lot of bloating yesterday come to think of it, but that's not unusual for me on clomid.

I understand your frustration :/ I dealt with dud doctors last year and it gets so irritating. I've heard people discourage OPKs before, only because some doctors believe that by the time they say there's an LH surge and read positive, it could be too late. That's why it may be beneficial for some to bd every other day during your cycle if you really want to hit it right. It's exhausting though.
