I still can't believe the nurses at your office. Don't they want to help you get pregnant?! Because it seems they don't!! When your there just TELL them to write you a prescription and if they refuse. Tell them this is your life and your body. And having PCOS isn't the easiest thing to have and get pregnant. You want something to ensure you O this cycle.

I don't know, I don't understand them either. They've contradicted themselves, they've contradicted what came out of the doctor's own mouth to me! Like I said, the doctor is hearing the whole story and it WILL be different.

At this point I think the chart temperatures tell the true story - they are very zigzagged like the months I don't O. Last July was the only recorded ovulation, and it went steadily down until it spiked - I'm not seeing that this month.
So I'm sure I am out, but I'm the type that wants to know for sure, so am getting an ultrasound tomorrow anyway. At least my husband will be able to come this time. Maybe it'll reveal a miracle, but I'm not hopeful.

I have been surprisingly unstressed about it. But when the BT started as just nipple pain now they hurt pretty bad gives me hope. So now I can't wait to test. And I had an amazing dream last night. I dreamt DH and I had a beautiful baby girl. Only pregnancy/baby dream I have had in a while. Which makes it even harder to wait!

 

[misaacs117]

I think I am going to test tomorrow morning 12dpIUI.

 

[minuet]

Misaacs I'm hopeful for you hon!

Hi everyone - not much to report here. I don't really feel pregnant to be completely honest. I have some nausea here and there but never enough that I would want to throw up. I do have some stretchy pulling sensations in my lower abdomen that resembles mild dull AF-like cramping, but other than that still no real pregnancy symptoms.

Minuet - I hope the 150 Clomid will pull through for you. If not, you should seriously consider injectables.

Michelle - good luck on testing tomorrow!! I can't wait to see your BFP!

Beaglemom - only three days away from getting pregnant!!!

GL hun!!! I'll be waiting for you to post your BFP results

Florida-I am so happy for you and glad you are not having any sick feelings from your pregnancy. Hope your entire 9 months go just as smoothly.

AFM-Well I am officially 6dpiui. Nothing to update as it's been pretty uneventful. On progestorone since Friday. Getting anxious as the days go on as I really hope and pray we get our BFP this cycle. Trying to not symptom spot but so far nothing worth noting anyway. Before this IUI cycle I set up a consult with IVF specialist (as this will be our next step if this cycle is a no go) and that is Wednesday morning. I am pretty sure I know what she will say-IVF with ICSI is our best option given DH SA. Hopefully this consult will be for information purposes only as we hope for our BFP on Feb 6

 

[misaacs117]

Thanks everyone
I am really nervous about seeing a BFN staring back at me in the morning. I don't feel pregnant and don't really have any symptoms at all. I really think this one will be the last IUI attempt. Honestly I am so tired of making deposits to the RE office. I know I shouldn't feel like that but I do and so does DH. So it may be the end for a while so we can save for IVF.

BFN at 12dpIUI

 

[Prayingforno1]

Sorry to hear that misaacs117 but you're not out of the race!! Still keeping everything crossed for you. Do you go in to do a beta this week?

 

[misaacs117]

Thanks praying!
No beta unless I get a positive at home test. It wasn't an FRER it just the wandfo type they gave me at the RE office. I might test again on Thursday if my BT keeps up. It's like my body is playing tricks on me! I have never had this soreness before and for this long after O. But then again my temps aren't very good.

 

[floridasian]

So sorry about the BFN this morning, Michelle!

Hopefully there's still time for a BFP this cycle!

 

[beaglemom]

I think it is still early. Test again at 14 days.

Ultrasound showed several small follicles on each side, with the largest only an eight. Lining was only a six.
I've had ovary pain for a while now, and I never have that on non-medicated cycles. So it seems that clomid is affecting the ovaries but not enough to do any good.

At least this time my husband could come. I was so upset, its so cruelly disappointing that we don't even get a 20% shot at pregnancy - instead it is zero. We've been waiting for so long that every month canceled is a hard blow.

So, now I take progesterone and wait for the appointment on the 9th. At this point I'm thinking aggressive treatment. The office says only a 25% chance with femara and injectables and if we only have three months to work with... those odds aren't too great. So we'll see.

 

[Prayingforno1]

Minuet-So sorry you have to go through a cancelled cycle. As you'll see from my signature I had a few cancelled cycles and each time I cried my eyes out in the car leaving the doctor's office. But as all of us on the ttc journey, we somehow find the strength to pick oursleves back up and keep going. I know on my cancelled cycles doc told us to do OPK and timed intercourse on our own. Even the cycle with my low estrogen he still told us to do this becuase although my results weren't good enough to go on with an IUI cycle, there is still a possibilty that you can get that BFP. Has your doc given you a similar suggestion?

 

[misaacs117]

Minuet
I am sorry to hear about those undesirable resluts. But think of this as another step closer to your BFP! Now you know you do not respond to clomid. So when you have your appointment you can jump right to femara or femara/injectables. This wasn't a waste but another step in the BFP direction

Hi everyone bit bummed today. Had appt with IVF doc and she pretty much said given mine and DH conditions (endo and poor SA) she would have never recommended IUI as statistically it's a waste of time and money. She would love to be proven wrong and I hope I can prove her wrong but can't help feeling a bit bummed/discouraged. Cried my eyes out but if we do need to go forward with IVF she is definitely the one we will go with as the consult was really good and she was extremely understanding and knowledgeable. Still keeping hope alive that we get BFP this IUI cycle as I know who the creator of life is. Happy Hump Day to all!!

You have been through a lot of nonsense. Believe m, my last year has bee filled with excitement & then let down. Every negative you get...every dr visit..brings you closer to your baby. Even thugh your visit got you down, it was a POSITIVE visit. It means no more wasting time for you. The one thing I have learned is you can't dwell in someone else's pregnancy...you make your own journey. And it will all work out when it should. Don't think of the wasted money...just think of the positive steps going forward.

 

[floridasian]

Very well said, beaglemom! We all live and learn and every failed cycle tells us what works and what doesn't work and gives us another chance to learn from our mistakes so that we're one step closer to the BFP.

I too wish we had started more aggressive treatments earlier but really the mistakes and failed cycles are what brought us here today.

Good luck!!!
