Hey there!

I am ttc#1 as well. I got pregnant last cycle in August but had a mc. I finally have a period that started yesterday (Nov 2). I take letrozole days 3-7 and I usually O on cd17. So we shall see. Ideally I should wait until the beginning of December to test but I do love to test early. I won't be testing until at least 7dpo after Ovulation has been confirmed by a progesterone test.

I am really hoping I get pregnant again right away. I would love to announce it on Christmas day. If I can keep it a secret that long. My family is very involved in the process as I have been open about my fertility issues. I have been doing my best to not talk about it but they do ask questions. lol I am tempted to lie to them to keep it a secret until christmas.

Cycle number 6 for me. Aayla, I'm so sorry to hear! You were so excited! Hopefully you'll get a sticky little bean this month!

Currently on Synthroid for Hypothyroidism, Black Cohosh, Prenatals, temping and using OPKs. CD11 for me. Just waiting for O now and then I'll start my TWW.

 

[Aayla]

Yeah. I had some ladies in the loss support area really help me out. It's been great having this site. I'm just glad to be finally on the ttc train again. Although I feel this is going to be the slowest month ever lol

 

[Hope16]

Thanks for joining ladies!

Aayla sorry to hear about the loss, it took 2 months for me to get a period after each miscarriage as well. They say you are more fertile when you try right away so I will cheer you on throughout this cycle!

abennion, have all of your cycles been medicated?? What is black cohosh??

I am starting my second IUI cycle this Friday. We are increasing my dosage of Gonal F from 50iu to 75iu. We saw 31 follicles between both ovaries yesterday. He is worried about overstimulating my follies so we have to take things slowly again.

 

[abennion]

This is my first month on Synthroid, second month on Black Cohosh. Its a herb that acts very similar to Clomid and helps with ovulation. I'm all for natural remedies!

 

[Hope16]

that's wonderful. i hope they get you to that bfp!

 

[abennion]

Well, officially 3 DPO today. 9 Days until testing.

 

[Hope16]

fingers crossed for you! I am on CD5. I start stimming tonight and over the next two weeks roughly. I'm a while away from ovulating. But I'll be here to cheer you on! How are you feeing?

 

[abennion]

To be honest? A little worried that we're going to have to go through another cycle next month. I've heard early ovulation means the egg hasn't fully matured, but its a waiting game at this point. DH is going for an SA in 12 days and I've got a doctor's appointment then to go over test results from my blood work and U/S. We'll just have to wait and see!

 

[abennion]

Well, another first for me... I had a huge temp dip this morning. Either I didn't O when FF suggests or something is up.... Anyone seen this before?

 

[Aayla]

Totally normal. It could be an implantation dip or just a temperature iregularity. I had 2 dips below cover in my Pg cycle and a dip on the day I got my blood test confirmation. I didn't temp beyond that though.

 

[Hope16]

I don't temp, so I couldn't really say what the reason is for that dip. It must mean something is going on!

 

[abennion]

Well, its dipped even farther today... I'm going to take a wild guess and say it was a misfire ovulation this cycle I'll know for sure in a couple of days though.

 

[Hope16]

So do you think you ovulated later than originally? Last month I had a surge around CD15 and then the doctors noticed my surge was continuing higher, so I had a second surge around CD 21.

 

[abennion]

I haven't had a second surge yet. I'm hoping it will happen, but as of right now its just heading back down to pre-O temps. Last month I didn't O until CD20 so I could very well still be in the run.

 

[abennion]

How is everyone doing? Currently at 9DPO with another beautiful surge in temp. Might test tomorrow and see what happens. Fully expecting a BFN, but you can never be sure.

 

[Hope16]

hi abennion, that's great! Wishing you that BFP!!!! Please keep us posted!!

As for me, I should be doing my IUI this monday! Few more days to stimm these follicles. So far my leading follicle is 12mm. Needs to grow to 18 over the next 3 days!

 

[abennion]

Well, BFN this morning, but its still early in the running, so we'll be testing again on Monday. My temp is still rising, so thats a plus

 

[Hope16]

It's Monday!! Let me know how you made out with your test!!

I just had another dr's appointment this morning. He said my follicles are ready for trigger. The HCG shot is enormous and I'm nervous! But I will just have to find the courage to get it over with.
