Ok so here are my tests for the last 3 days. I can definitely see more of a line on the 3rd day. But then I just took another one tonight and the line is extremely faint. So maybe this means the trigger is almost gone? Or morning urine is better?

oh I wish you used FRERs lol

for me it was the 2nd morning urine that was better... for some reason

Glad you had a great appointment Sarah


Hockey- Your trigger must soon be gone?? You had a 5 day transfer

Still a faint line this morning so it has to be close. I may have to go out and buy the FRER that LLBean is talking about instead of using the Dollar Store cheapies I have. Come Sunday - when I'm 6DP5DT - if its still a positive, I'm going to take that as a good sign!!

Sarah - can't hardly believe that its almost time for your 12 weeks scan! I can't even imagine how exciting that day will be for you and your DH!

Yay Sarah! That is great news! Wonderful!

Hockey, hoping that line stays put and gets darker for you!

AFM - I had a freakout this morning. I temp, and my temp did not go up, one day after the IUI. !! So naturally, I assumed I had not yet ovulated, and I called my doctor's office first thing, to discuss doing a second IUI today. The nurse told me that the ovidrel shot is 99% effective at making you ovulate at 36 hours, but I still wanted to come in to make sure. So I did - they did blood work (still waiting for results) and an ultrasound, and I did indeed ovulate - the doc said the follicles were gone and there was fluid on the cul de sac or something like that (I didn't understand). So phew. Relieved that the IUI was reasonably well timed. And now I feel like a crazy person (and my doctor sure thinks so). I've been operating under the assumption for the past 5 months that BBT charting is an accurate way to pinpoint ovulation date, but I guess not always. I did find this site https://www.inciid.org/faq.php?cat=infertility101&id=1#6 that says that it can sometimes take 2 days after ovulation to get a temp rise. Crazy huh?

Anyway... so it's official. In the 2WW now.

Holy cow DaisyQ - that sounds like a nervewracking morning!! But glad that you did ovulate when you were supposed to and the timing was right. I certainly understand that its hard to put faith in the process sometimes when our body tries to confuse us!

Hope the TWW goes by quickly for you and ends with a :bpf:!

 

[DaisyQ]

Thanks Hockey! Me too! to us all!

 

[sarahincanada]

daisy I used to question the whole trigger thing to, but look that just proves how temps and ov pains/twinges are not a good indication of anything! when I did my fresh cycle I had 20 follies and did the trigger, and kept thinking what if they popped before the 36 hours, but they were all there.

hockey
go get some frer
I had light lines on the cheapies until beta day when it was about half the strength of the control. by then my frer was way dark!


to you both, hope you are the next success stories on this thread.

 

[DaisyQ]

Thanks Sarah - yeah, I need to stop questioning it, and over thinking everything! Tough to do, but I'll try! I'm going to stop charting I think...

 

[LLbean]

to all you ladies!

 

[crystal443]

Good Luck Ladies!!!!!!!!!

 

[DaisyQ]

Sigh. I feel so annoyed, upset and defeated right now.

Just got a call from the nurse (the same one that assured me I didn't need to come in today, etc.), and she said my progesterone today is 1.2, which indicates I'm probably ovulating now (today). And she also said it would be too late to come in tomorrow to do a second IUI. So basically, I AM ovulating a little later then they thought (more like when I thought). This is so frustrating.

Next cycle, I am going to insist on either one IUI at 36 hours or 2 back to back. This is ridiculous. I am SO freaking annoyed.

 

[LLbean]

well you best get busy at home !!!!!!!

Too true...

but the doc said the follies were gone yesterday? otherwise you could have done a iui yesterday or this morning. I would be complaining

 

[hockey24]

Yeah, I'm confused. Your follicles were empty right?
