Femara Friends!

Woohoo!!!!

J_Lynn - Most of the time I agree with you. It is so much easier on your heart (and wallet) to wait for AF to arrive. But other times, especially when I start a new treatment, it is torture to wait! Of course, those are the times it hurts the most to see a BFN too.

ES - That is good news! Keeping my fingers crossed for you!

I have no idea what my phone did but I don't think my whole reply went through

Dang phone.

I have to test when I'm done with the progesterone, so Monday morning I have to test - my Dr said IF it is positive that I have to continue the progesterone and I cannot miss any time because my progesterone is so low naturally.

So I guess my grand plan of just waiting until Thursday when the tests I ordered come in if AF wasn't here is a bust

I just don't want to see that dang BFN It is so much easier for me to have AF start....ugh

AF showed when I woke up this AM. I just had a 24 day cycle on progesterone suppositories. Is that even possible? Oh well.....

I did get a new job offer yesterday! I'm thinking it might be best to get settled in my new job for a few months, then resume fertility treatments. I feel it might be too stressful to do both at the same time.

Good luck, JLynn! I was planning to test Monday but I never got there. Hoping you get a BFP!

ESwemba84, what day did you O? Is a 24 day cycle reasonably possible for this cycle? Congrats on your job offer btw, that's fantastic news

 

[ESwemba84]

Well, I went in on day 14 to have a follicle check, I took the trigger that night, so I would have ovulated on day 16ish, giving me an 8 day LP. I was just under the impression that the progesterone was supposed to help lengthen the LP.

 

[LolaM]

Ive had a 25 day cycle but i ovulated on day 12 , leaving me a 13 day LP, which is typical for me now! Mention that to your dr, because that is a LPD that needs to be looked at!

That is so weird that happened on progesterone!! I'm sorry AF came
Congrats on the new job though - that is awesome. Good luck!!

if you're taking the progesterone vaginally, you shouldn't have breakthrough bleeding.

if you're taking them orally, you can totally bleed through.

 

[ESwemba84]

They were vaginally. I might need to take it more often. I was taking it once at bedtime.

 

[J_Lynn]

That's when I take mine also - just once at bedtime. I have 300mg capsules. It's so nasty because its like freakin paste the next morning and the whole following day

 

[lilyV]

lol.

hon, that is odd that you bleed through... maybe it's implantation or something??? what's your temp?

 

[ESwemba84]

I didn't temp this cycle.....unfortunately! But I do know its too heavy to be implantation. It is definitely AF. I've heard of weirder things happening, but I don't think I'm that lucky.

 

[lilyV]

so sorry, hon

 

[J_Lynn]

TTC just sucks ... Sorry Hun. I'm sure here in a few days ill be able to complain about the witch showing up too. *hugs*

 

[ESwemba84]

It's ok. I really hope you get your BFP, JLynn! Someone needs to!

 

[Prayerful]

J_Lynn - Ugh, sorry you can't just wait it out. Hopefully you'll be surprised with a lovely dark BFP!

ES - What a tease your body gave you! Sorry AF showed... Congrats on the new job though!

 

[J_Lynn]

It's ok. I really hope you get your BFP, JLynn! Someone needs to!

Thanks - I'm going to stop at Dollar General on the way to my 2nd job this morning and get one. Ill be extra classy and take it in the bathroom at work lol

 

[ESwemba84]

Hahahaha, good luck! Let us know!

AF is treating me horribly. I have never felt this bad at the beginning of a cycle. Must have been the meds. The cramping is worse than normal, and I was just worn down and basically bipolar yesterday. I'm taking that as a positive sign that something worked, and maybe my hormones got close to the normal range last cycle.

 

[J_Lynn]

Try a heating pad and some naproxen Aleve is what has naproxen in it I do believe. I have a prescription for straight naproxen, but I'm pretty sure Aleve has it also. I have cramps that make me do nothing but lay in bed and throw up from the pain sometimes (haven't in the last 6 months since the Endo was removed so maybe that had something to do with it lol) but the heating pad and naproxen were the only things that took the pain completely away
