Femara Friends!

I'm 4dpo it will be awhile before I can test because my cycles are so incredibly irregular! I'm going to try to make it between 18 & 22dpo before testing because by then if I haven't gotten my cycle on my own I can get provera at that time to start all over yet again...I can only hope for a + but hope only goes so far for me...Guess I'm a bit of a downer but I'm starting to get worn down.

Hey ladies. I haven't been on in while! Been working like crazy! Last month was a BFN. I'm currently on CD13 and I took 5mg femera on CD3-7. Started my OPK's yesterday. Fertility friend says I'm in my fertile window starting today, so we will see. I got a +opk last month on CD17-18, which fertility friend predicted...I've been temping this month, but don't really know what to think of my chart this far, since I don't really know what I'm looking for. LoL

Anyway, just a quick update on where I am in this cycle.
Baby dust to you all!

Ugh, I'm bloated feeling icky and if this isn't our turn this month hubby is working outta town so I'm going to be a wreck if that ruins our plans! Sorry I am kind of a debbie downer on here I don't really have any girlfriends that I can talk to about feelings and the ttc process. My three closest friends don't understand as two of them aren't in the position yet of being moms and the third is a mom twice and not trying for either.
*Lord hear our prayers!

yeah, I hear that. All my friends have had babies without even trying so they dont understand and if i hear "relax it will happen" one more time, Im gonna lose it ! Im starting to lose it anyways, im starting to feel like if we dont everyday, we are missing an opportunity. We tried every other day for months straight, then we tried every day during my fertile period. its not wooooooorking...
My ticker says 1 day to ovulation, but I think i O'd on CD 12 this month, which also happens to be when i got my first smiley. we that night and yesterday but im still feeling like because we didnt tonight, we missed another opportunity...wish i knew how to STOP feeling like this. Im having all kinds of weird feelings in my uterusal area the last 2 days. Not sure if its O pain or gas

I totally agree with this. I can't stand the "relax it will happen". I'm pretty sure relaxing isn't what's keeping me from ovulating. It's the stupid PCOS!

AFM RE called in the 5 mg Femara for next month. I will start Provera on Sunday if nothing looking good on Thursday's ultrasound (CD18). Hopefully that is what it will take. Since my BMI is normal she doesn't want to do metformin since there is not good data that it works on people with normal BMI. I guess if the 5mg doesn't work then she wants to try Clomid instead.

Looks like i am playing stump the fertility monitor again this month--my FAVORITE game-EVERRRRRR

the hubs has the sniffles, so you know what that means...hes on his deathbed, call in the priest for a last rights, start digging a grave...hope the 2 days of BD were enough because aint NUFFIN happenin tonight, again.

Ive also been feeling some more of that weird cramping again, feels like AF cramps but ive barely o'd so i know its not THAT

 

[LolaM]

ok.....im going to say that i O'd on CD 12 or 13 because my temps keep going up and up and we BD both days so finners crossed! Where IS everyone, did you all take a long vacation? I get a 3 day weekend but I have to work on a paper for my masters class-I just want this class to be over already.

 

[Charisse28]

Im around, not posting much because nothing new going on with me. I had dreams last night that I was finally able to get PG on Femara on my 3rd round (this one) of O'ing and had an u/s at 6w3d and got to see the baby's heartbeat and I was sooo happy! It's funny how you can wake up from a dream with the same emotional feelings that you felt while you were dreaming. Anyways, it was the first good dream in days, so even if it doesn't come true I enjoyed dreaming about it.

How is everyone doing today?

 

[jchic]

hey everyone! TGIF! How are you today?


Well I am 4dpo and went to the RE this AM for my lining check. He said my lining looks awesome BUT 2 things:

My cyst didnt go away! Its still there, LOL. He thought it was a follicle at first, but its a cyst. He says its rather small and wont interfere with anything so it should go away in about 2 months, if not, then he says we will have it removed. Right now he said hes just going to note it and monitor it.
Also, as he was doing my u/s, he noticed a mass in my uterus. Said it was very small and he thinks in may be a polyp or it may be nothing. He couldnt really tell by the image. Says if I get my period, he will schedule me for a saline test so he can get a better image, and then if thats what it is, he will have it removed. I freaked out and when I left I called back for the nurse to ask questions and the RE got on the phone and said "WHY are you crying? Jessica, I never said it was DEFINITELY a polyp. I said it could be a polyp and if it is, we will find out and remove it. They are extremely common anyway. I saw nothing today that I am in the slightest bit concerned with. If I am not concerned, you shouldnt be." I told him I really dont want to do more cycles of IUI and he told me he doesnt like to jump to IVF because he feels thats what alot of clinics do and its like a factory. He really likes to explore other options first. He did say that if I am adamant about it, we can discuss if I get my period and perhaps we will do an IUI with injectables and then IVF the following cycle, so April. I told him my insurance covers all meds and unlimited ivfs and iui's at 100% so I just want to get pregnant, however its going to happen! UGH, just discouraged today and I tend to whip myself into a frenzy thinking the worst of things. For example, when he saw that cyst a few weeks back he said it may be a chocolate cyst (endometriosis) or it may not be. I IMMEDIATELY lost my shit and told myself I had endo. Low and behold, its just a regular cyst. Now I am SWEARING I have a polyp! But all my other u/s showed nothing of the sort. I do this all the time! I get all worked up. From what I have researched this AM, if it is a polyp it is very normal and safe to remove.

Thanks for letting me vent

I am just leaving RE office with DH, and our cycle has been cancelled again!!!! no follies over 10mm and lining was 3.something. Less than 4. We are moving on to just Gonal F. Last cycle before we consider IVF. This road is growing weary. We can't continue this forever! Its too much on me, us,and our marriage. If next cycle fails we will do IVF in September-October, which we will be paying for! I just want to say thank you ladies for supporting me through this tough time, and even though our journey with femara is over I still will be stocking this post!!!!

I am still a little upset but I will get over it. May not be today, but eventually I will. I am in tears on my way home! I will talk to you ladies later! GoodLuck!!!!

 

[drsquid]

charisse- i know the feeling. it lingers for a few hours and is so confusing cause you keep feeling like it is real. not all dreams are like that, just some.

chiles- im so sorry *hugs* that sucks.. darn it ovaries.. get cranking

 

[jchic]

Chiles - I am sorry honey. This journey is long, winding and frustrating. I know how hopeless it feels at times. Please stay strong and KNOW that at the end, a BFP will be at the end!
