[Chiles]

Thank you for that information chiles! I will certaintly look into it xox

You are welcome! I am still taking the predisone as well. And I see I have 6 refills so idk how this is going to go. But I want to say that we will still be cheering you on. Take your time and we will see you when you return.

 

[Chiles]

so i'm scheduled for a blood preg test on monday....but i'm dying to test!! i had a trigger shot of 10,000 units on friday 13th and should have ovulated on sunday the 15th...so ladies, do you think a urine test would give an accurate result or should i just be patient?

The trigger should be gone by now. But I will try and wait it out if you can. Blood test are more accurate

Hey there drsquid

I just did my first cycle of fermara and now in my TWW. I actually started mine at a really awkward time (to me anyway)..on CD11...but he had me count it as CD3...so...I think it just depends on your individual situation. He checked me 3 days after I started AF from provera, and he wasn't happy with what he seen with u/s, so he had me wait to start the femera and had me do an HSG...so then later that same day, the RE office called and gave me the go ahead to start then.

Good luck!

 

[drsquid]

thanks. hrm ive also just read stuff saying that they ovulate early from it (id read this thread but.. 85 pages is just too much). last cycle was us cd12 trigger cd14 and iui on day 16 in the am

I'm cd2-6 too, from what I can gather, it's best to take it earlier than they normally recommend for clomid, can't remember the reason why though

Quick question, Chiles ... Did you release both eggs?

Quick question, Chiles ... Did you release both eggs?

I am guessing so. I did not have an u/s to confirm. I get my progesterone test monday. 8dpo, but I am relying on my dominant one.

 

[MKHewson]

Hey ladies, my HCG is now at 225, my Dr was really happy with the levels. I go back for the US on February 13th. I am excited...

 

[MrsCompass]

Thanks Chiles!

@MK: Yay!!! Let us know your beta number ....

@Courtney: I do think the trigger shot is now out of your system, too. lol! I'm excited for you! Then again, Monday is only a few days away .. like Chiles said, it is more accurate.

@drsquid: goodluck with femara! this is my third cycle on it. The first 2 were timed intercourse but this cycle we're adding IUI. I was advised to take them from CD3-7, but my doctor added 5 more pills, so I'm taking them CD3-12 at 2.5mg.

My update: I went in for follicle monitoring this morning and I have 3 dominant follicles on the right side, measuring 12, 11 and 11. The right side, I just have 1 measuring at 10. The Doctor said, the size is completely normal and because I still have 2 more pills left, this cycle may be longer. Anyway ... I just wonder if all of those follicles will be releasing?

 

[jchic]

If all those follicles release, you will be in for QUITE the surprise! Can you imagine?!

There is a chance that they all won't mature. Its still early in the game. And even if they all release, Its more and likely all won't fertilize. It does increase your chances of getting a

Hi ladies, just dropping in to see how everyone is doing!

AFM, I have my 12 day scan on Sunday, Im pretty excited. Ive noticed some extra CM the past couple of days...not sure if that means anything at all. Im REALLY hoping that Femara has worked for me and that Im gonna ov this month.

[Cridge]

I have not been feeling so great today. I woke up late, for one. I have been having cramping all day. Not sure if its Metformin, AF or GAS! either way, its just awful. I hope im not getting sick, there is a bug going around my school and i have had alot of sick kiddos in my room this week. I thought i was losing my mind, i kept smelling trash, turns out, its the trees in the quad...eeewwww. I am going to go to yoga tonight and try not to empty the room!

YAY! MK!

OOOOOOOOOOOOOMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMM

MK- Wow, thats fantastic beta for this early.

AFM: I am surprised AF found me earlier than i expected but glad it did. I have my cd3 u/s and b/w tomorrow then will start letrozole. I am looking forward to this cycle and praying this will be it.
