[Miracle79]

@Miracle79, my doctor has talked to me about doing an IUI. We will have to see how my HSG turns out next week. I hope #2 IUI gets you your sticky bean!! I'll let you know if we end up doing it.

I was doing some research and I am hopeful about next IUI.

 

[ClandestineTX]

IUI seems to have a high success rate, I'll keep my FX for you!

AFM... witch watch is over, the bitch has landed! Cycle 10 proceeding as planned, except waiting to start temping until I see some fertile CM.

Yeah success rate gets higher every time you do an IUI is what I read I just don't want to have to go through too many IUI cycles but we will do whatever we have to at his point

Sorry Clandestine for next cycle =)

Aloha Ladies

I am so late today! Just now getting over here.

Cland, I see AF got you, I'm sorry to hear that....I was SO sure those were good test

 

[ClandestineTX]

Actually not terribly bothered by she-who-should-not-be-named. Will be seeing old doctor as a new patient (she left the practice I went to in 2010, then the doctor I was seeing until last year left... old doctor has new practice, we feel is a good fit for us)... I'm hoping she will consider raising my dose of thyroid meds, because I think there's more than enough wiggle room and that may be part of the problem here... we'll see!

 

[MIZZYD]

GL on your Doc's visit today Clandestine.

 

[Miracle79]

Has anyone been on clomid and your cycle produce extreme pain and heavy flow? I'm having unbearable pains and heavier flow than ever.... Doctor said its normal with clomid. The witch is here with a vengeance

 

[R22]

Sounds awful Miracle. I've never been on Clomid, sorry I can't be helpful.

 

[ClandestineTX]

So... docs visit in short... she doesn't want me to worry about a lack of a BFP. She reiterated what I found in the medical journals that the only use of a chart is whether or not it's biphasic and other than that, it doesn't tell you anything about when ovulation happens or whether or not you're pregnant. Also, checking a few things with my thyroid, experimenting on a different type of drug for my hypothyroidism and went ahead and did hormone labs on me and hubster, because she felt like it. Did caveat that even though my last Depo shot was 24 months ago that it could still be a factor!

 

[R22]

What? I thought the only reason to chart was to confirm that you did ovulate??

Good luck with your new thyroid medicine. Hope the test come back all good!!

 

[ClandestineTX]

A biphasic chart does indicate ovulation happened during that cycle. But it does not confirm when you ovulated.

In my case, it also doesn't confirm the quality of the ovulation and one of the thyroid tests she's doing is for something that's been associated with disrupting the GnRH that controls maturation of the egg... so I might be ovulating, but it might be less than ideally mature eggs! Fortunately it would just be adding an additional pill to my thyroid replacement regimen - easy fix - if that's an issue.

 

[R22]

That makes sense.

Wishing you strong eggs!

 

[ClandestineTX]

Needless to say, there will be a more detailed update in my journal in a bit - still getting the specifics (for my own understanding) from the medical literature.

i'm so sorry miracle

i had a friend who was ttc a year and a half who had unexplained infertility too. But she went to a special fertility dr and did ivf and was pregnant first cycle

are you guys looking to do iui or ivf or any of that?

My July tww was actually a result of my first IUI. I had the IUI done on the 26th of June which took me into July to test. I am now about to start my second cycle of clomid and will do another IUI.

hun i hope that it all goes quickly and you have that bfp and then a lovely happy and healthy 9 months and i'm sorry af is here and so rough this time, hopefully it's the last one for 9 months xx

iui has a great success rate

IUI seems to have a high success rate, I'll keep my FX for you!

AFM... witch watch is over, the bitch has landed! Cycle 10 proceeding as planned, except waiting to start temping until I see some fertile CM.

so sorry about af hun



afm: so at some point i've o'd, ff can't be sure about when, and it's rough not doing it with opks this time too. had some good symptoms but really not having much hope for this cycle. If FF says i o'd around cd 22 that would push my test to the 22nd. if af hasn't shown by then, i will test then.

 

[ClandestineTX]

Good luck, mommyxofxone! I know how frustrating FF can be, which is why I'm focusing on CM and OPKs this cycle. I can't deal with the ??? ovulation date from temps anymore!

I'm really OK with a new cycle starting. Had a great visit with our family doc yesterday, think there might be a small problem connected to my hypothyroidism - so switched my brand of drugs and testing one of the associated hormones - if there's a problem it should be easy to fix, just more waiting! Will be 2 weeks before I know if she needs to make any other changes to my meds... but progress (I think).

 

[mommyxofxone]

@clande- i definitely want af to just get here if i missed this cycle. i want to start over feeling better and really making a good effort this time. opks sound very good, i got pregnant with dd with those, i'm thinking i may go ahead and get some for next cycle

 

[Whyte82]

I see AF got you too Clande !!! Mine still here so looks like we will
Be cycle buddies for next month!!
That's great about docs visit hopefully
Helps you this month!!!
I'm going to try and be optimistic now for aug being the month I get my

 

[bornthiswayxo]

Hiiiii! I'm a July tester! I got a positive OPK on 12th July, so I'm going to test 28th July, a day after I get back from my holiday. Lots of good luck to my fellow testers

 

[ClandestineTX]

@mommyxofxone: I felt the same way, if it's not a BFP - just give me a new cycle already, so I don't have to wait to try again! Plus I ovulation during the third week of a cycle (usually between day 16 and 21), so the waiting to ovulate is actually more painful than the TWW!

@Whyte82: cycle buddies we are! I am definitely trying this cycle, but from the thing my doctor is looking at - I might need to switch type of thyroid drug (not just brand) and let that kick in before getting a BFP. I have to keep reminding myself that there is still hope for this cycle and even if it turns out to be a bust, we are likely on the verge of knowing what's wrong and fixing it - and I have to say, I was pretty sure by now there was a problem somewhere. I just didn't expect it to stem from a problem I thought had been resolved already!
