Good luck green archer :) I got mine back at 60 this month so I’m really pleased. This 2ww is killing me though! Xx

Sarah that all sounds like things are moving in the right direction? I don’t know much about those cysts but I’ve seen other people on here get pregnant with them.
 
This thread has kind of died, but I'll update anyway.

CD 17 today and ~2 days since my last US. My follie grew by ~4.5mm, making it ~16.5mm today. I'll do one more dose of Gonal-F tonight and pull the trigger tomorrow, which is great because DH gets back from his business trip tomorrow!

I also will take progesterone this cycle, since that 11 day LP was too short for my comfort.
 
That’s good news, Sara! Will you be doing pio shots or suppositories?

2.5 weeks until my transfer - started estrogen yesterday. Eeek! :)
 
Ask - I'll be doing suppositories. Yay! Your transfer is so close!
 
Hey ladies,

I'm suddenly very nervous about the plan for progesterone suppositories. My RE said to take the for 15 days (starting yesterday, 2dpt) and to come in for an HCG blood test two days after stopping.

I'm definitely not an expert, but isn't it a bad idea to stop progesterone cold-turkey if you are pregnant? Should I call and ask the doctor about it? Does anyone have more knowledge about this and might be able to share some insight?
 
Are you sure they said two days after stopping? Yes I agree that is odd. I wouldn’t stop until after a negative beta. It can cause miscarriage if you have a sudden drop.

Not looking forward to a clomid Thanksgiving lol

Side note - I joined a few clomid facebook groups and oh boy.

Regret city. I am too hormonal to be nice to some of those ladies I couldn't believe some of the things they came up with, mostly women who were buying drugs online and self medicating and were listening to their "cousins" on what works.
 
We're calling the clinic today to check. We've already decided though that even if she did say to stop two days before the blood test, I'm not going to. I'm not risking a miscarriage when all it could do is delay AF by a day or two. No harm in that.

Pinkee - I hear you about FB groups. I joined a ton of TTC groups (focused on various things like Clomid or PCOS, etc.) and I honestly got tired of repeating myself telling people what was dangerous, what wasn't a good idea (such as self-medicating), etc. I'm not trying to sound judgmental, but most people that I encountered where very uneducated about it and weren't interested in hearing anything contrary to what they wanted to hear. Being uneducated is fine: we all were at one point. But proceeding with dangerous things and refusing to learn is just stupid. It got infuriating, so I left all of them. Now I'm just on here, on a PCOS related site, and on Instagram (which has an awesome TTC community, btw).
 
We called the clinic today and I did hear her correctly. She said to take the progesterone for 15 days, stop for one day and then come in for the blood test (which effectively means 2 days without progesterone). DH then said that I had concerns about that and they said it's fine to keep taking them until a negative test, if I want to so that's what I'm going to do.
 
That’s good Sara. I usually took it until 16dpo and if my FRER was totally negative at 16dpo I stopped.
 
So that would make you 6dpt today. is that the same as 6dpo or 5dpo?
Either way I really hope this is it for you!

Where's greenarcher?

Ask4 have you got a date for your IMPIs?



I just started 150mg Clomid tonight. An increase from last month.:wacko:
 
Pinkee - I hope the 150 does it for you!

Everything is on track for our Dec. 4th transfer as far as I know! I’ve been on estrogen pills for over a week now and have 4 more days of Lupron injections before starting progesterone injections. Next ultrasound is Nov. 28th to check blood levels and lining. Hopefully it’s nice and thick!
 
Pinkee - I'm not sure exactly what dpo I am. Last month I'm pretty sure I O'd 2 dpt because I got O cramps. This month I didn't have any cramps though, so I'm 5-6dpo, not sure.

Ask - Getting close to transfer. That's so exciting. Hopefully you get great news on the 28th.
 
Transfer will be exciting!

I'm here. Another month without a second line
 
Hey so DH and I have decided to stop ttc. I can't take anymore of this, and I've felt so good about getting back to living my life.

That said I am happy to follow along you ladies on your journey and offer support where I can. I can say overall that I am in a much better headspace than what I was a month ago.

Green sorry about another BFN. I expect AF will show tomorrow for me which will mark the end of ttc for us.

Ask good luck with transfer!

Sara I hope the tww flies by for you!

Pinkee, I hope the extra clomid will do the trick for you!

ugh I took climid 2 years ago when we started our ttc baby #3 and nothing came from it except weight gain. now i am on it again for the second month along with iui i HATE clomid! I will do only one more iui and do famara with that one cuz i did it in the past and no side effects at all.
 
I hated clomid too, Liz. Turned me into a psycho and the weight gain sucked! I lost it with a strict diet but then gained it back with IVF ugh! At least my IVF meds didn’t make me a raging lunatic like clomid.

Just an update - FET was yesterday! Planning on testing next Monday.
