39 and trying to conceive:-(

[PositiveUs]

Ok. The follicles they saw this morning are actually cycts that are 20mm and the cycle will most likely be cancelled because of this.
I am going to another radiologist in the morning to confirm.
Trying not to cry.

Big Hugs PositiveUS. Just try to keep an open mind until you hear from the other radiologist. I know this whole TTC thing is so difficult sometimes.

 

[Bonnie1990]

hugs PositiveUS. At least if that is what they are they were found before you went full blown into the cycle. have you had them before or is this something new?

 

[PositiveUs]

Ok. The old radiologist and tech and equipment are bad. I went to an actual hospital radiology department which is well known and they found no fibroid or cysts, just follicles, some of them are bigger than they expected but they said those may dissappear and new ones may grow so they put me on the injectible stims tonight.
Trying not to be excited. I can see there is a delicate balance during these cycles with providers and scans and readings. This is nuts. I can't believe any of us go through all this! But it is worth it.
Thanks for the support.
Another scan tomorrow.
This is a rollercoaster.

 

[Bonnie1990]

I have got to ask-where in the us do you live?
Holy cow that is a messed up practice! I work in healthcare and find this just awful!
I am so glad you got a second opinion before they canceled the cycle!

 

[AltaMom]

FX'd for you PositiveUS. At least it was figured out quickly, and you didn't miss out on anything other than some sleep!

As for me, finally got a +ve OPK yesterday afternoon. Was stark white negative mid morning, and then mid afternoon the test line was darker than the control line! Not sure what's with the little blip in my cycle, but just so relieved that we didn't miss my Ov! The OPK was still +ve today, so I actually feel I might have a good chance this month. This is Cycle 2 after my HSG and I took Clommid. Yay!

 

[Bonnie1990]

Great news! Afternoons are supposed to be better for OPK!

 

[PositiveUs]

Glad everyone seems well on here.
I am to stay on stims through the weekend.
I am cautiously excited.
I realize this could be cancelled at any time so I don't take anything for granted.
Monday's scan and bloodwork will really tell the story.
I am not assuming anything, just one day at a time.
Baby dust to all!

 

[Bonnie1990]

Fx'd for you!

 

[AltaMom]

Really hoping for you PositiveUs. I'm starting my 2ww. Really hoping to get a BFP!

Found out in October that I have AMH of .3, everything else looked fine. My husband has low mobility and low count. Went to fertility specialist and their diagnosis was only hope was IVF, well that isn't an option right now, money wise. My current insurance plan covers nothing infertility related. So we put what we could together and opted to try IUI's with Clomid. Now I feel that the fertility specialist was just humoring us and didn't really give it 100%, they didn't test me for everything (FSH, progesterone...) So we did 3 IUI's unsuccessfully. My second IUI they did test progesterone and found it drops too early so with 3rd and final IUI we did HCG injections .They falied to tell me that those injections can delay your period so I thought I was pregnant for 3 days, of course was devastated. Now we are into our 3rd cycle trying natural approaches, herbs, exercise, trying to limit stress. Last cycle I started using progesterone cream. Through charting I believe I have leutal phase defect. My temp stays elevated for short time, not long enough for implantation to be successful. This last cycle, I ovulated 4 days earlier and then on day 21 and 22 my temp dropped and had little spotting. Thought might be implantantion dip. Then yesterday, day 23 my temp went way up but I started bleeding. Almost like normal period but it is 4 days way too early. In all the months I have charted, I have started my cycle around days 26-28. Researched online and thought maybe it might be decidual bleeding, so have continued with progesterone cream. Today, temp was high again but am in day 2 of bleeding. Not sure if I should continue with progesterone cream and hope that maybe I am pg but then take a risk that if I'm not can delay or suppress ovulation for next cycle. Ahhhh, sucks that I can't see a doctor or any professional due to money. Sooo, if any of you have had similar situation, please share. I am hoping to change health plans in May. Found the other plan my work has does cover some infertility diagnostic tests, treatment and IUI's. We have applied for one grant to help with IVF but if we get it, won't be until next year. Sooo frustrating. I so know about feeling like the whole world is pregnant. I am a preschool teacher and tons of parents are pregnant as well as 5 staff members.

Hi Lteach.
Im sorry for the confusing time you are going through. I wish i had some advice but i dont know much about progesterone creme. I have never tired it. Where do you live? in US is sounds as far as you having insurance? It seems that the testing is diagnostic related and that should at least be covered. Hopefully you will have a better option at open enrollment and at least it is fairly soon. most are not until nov/dec for a january start.

LTeach04, I would say it is likely AF. If you ovulated 4 days early then AF should come about 4 days early.

Cycle cancelled.
I had follicles that were too big and ones that were too small.
They are not calling me a poor responder yet.
They said its just not an optimal cycle.
Better to wait until next time and not waste anymore time.
Now I can't wait to get my period.
It could be in one week or two weeks, no one knows.
I don't even know if there is any benefit to trying naturally but I guess I will take the OPKs until they are positive and try for the hell of it.
I have one blocked tube and my lining is too thin so chances are really slim.
They say I will take same meds and same dose next time but add estrogen to get a thicker lining.
I guess I'm ok.

 

[Bonnie1990]

Sorry that the cycle was canceled. We're the follies on your unblocked side? I would say go for a natural while your waiting. Have some fun! And you never know....otherwise looks like a better combination of meds next cycle is headed your way and that sounds like a good thing to me

I'm so sorry that your cycle got cancelled this month. I am confused about follicles being too big. I thought big was a good thing. How big is too big and why is it not a good thing?
