Femara Friends!

[Chiles]

Thanks ladies, we are carrying on with our journey, just another obstacle we have yet to overcome!

Wish you all well, with a soon!!!!

 

[Chook]

So sorry to hear that chiles. Hope you are ok. I'm sending lots of positive vibes your way. Xox

Sorry to hear that Chiles. That must be so disappointing.

jchic, it sounds like we're in a similar spot. I just told my RE that we don't want to do any more IUI's. DH and I decided if 3 medicated IUI's didn't work, we don't think a 4th will either. So, we're doing one last medicated cycle (femara, bravelle, and ovidrel) with just timed intercourse. Then on to IVF. I just met with the finance dept. at the clinic to discuss the expenses of it all today. So stressful! I am so jealous of all those who have insurance coverage for it. I guess we're waving goodbye to $15k and hoping and praying it all works. Good luck ladies!

So sorry to hear ladies. Hugs to you all...

It is a strain on us taking the meds and our marriages.
My husband will be out of town on work for a while so I'm pretty upset that they get to choose this. We'll be on a standstill if I'm not pg this month. And I'm feeling disheartened about being pg at the moment, not thinking that it worked.
This is so tough. Again and again...

Sorry, ladies. I dont hold out much hope for this month either

 

[Ms. Shortie]

So sorry ladies. At least it's nice to have people to share our frustrations with.

AFM AF unexpectedly showed up CD 19 without ovulation this month. RE says it's the probably hormonal effects from the first time femera. When I say unexpectedly I mean totally not prepared at the movies with dirty panties begging women under the stall for sanitary napkins or tampons . Reminded me of high school.

*sore bbs
*blue veins
*gassy
*vivid dreams
*watery cm when wipe
*8 dpo
I'm trying not to read too much into it...but as we know that's not easy!
I have another week til I can test although I would like to wait not sure if I'm going to be able to. Af isn't due until the 26th and that's only a guess. I have irregular cycles and O'd on cd18. Soo...At least another week of waiting. I need to find something to do this week so I don't lose my mind!

I always have vivid dreams. Last night, I dreamt that my husband let our house get repossesed and made us move into this tiny little apartment that was the same monthly payment as our house. The rooms were so so small and I was running around trying to find a room to put all the babies but no one would help me and then my teaching partner came over and told me that she lived in the house next door.

So sorry Chiles

 

[Mrs.Stinski]

Hey Ladies, sorry I have been MIA for a few days. Took my mom on a mini-vacation for her 50th birthday, I also needed a little break from TTC. Hope everyone is doing well. Im due for AF on Wednesday, but Im pretty sure she is on her way before then. Been having spotting for a week now (sometimes pink, sometimes brown) and cramps all week so Im pretty sure Im out this month. Just ready to start a brand new cycle and get on with it.

Thanks, me too!


I know I'm anxious and scared that it's not. Emotionally I'm ready to give up! But I know that I wouldn't because I want it so badly.
I hate obsessing over the twinges and headaches and everything else! And not really knowing when AF could show is kind of a pain too! For now I'll just try to stay in comfy pants. I wore dress pants yesterday and they squished me. That was a sign to me just because I know I could never wear anything constricting with DD but at the same time it could just be in my head. It's far too early to actually be having symptoms, right? I just don't want to get my hopes up.

Okay so I need some input here. This cycle is my first on femara I have pcos so I would have about 1 AF a year. I was on clomid and never ovulated. I got a +opk on cd17 which I know doesn't mean I actually ovulated. I would chart my BBT but my schedule is all over the place. Today is cd30 and I have been having some cramping. I know this is a stupid question but how likely is it to have AF without ovulating. If I'm out on a BFP this month I'd be okay just knowing I more than likely O'd. I feel like its a step in the right direction for me just to ovulate! Any help would be great.

I have had sore bbs, headache, some nausea, cramping, twinges.

 

[Cridge]

From what I have researched this AM, if it is a polyp it is very normal and safe to remove.

jchic - sorry for the late reply - I've been offline for a few days. I had ovarian drilling done in June of last year and my doc found "quite a few" polyps, which she removed. Try not to worry about it if it is a polyp - I do believe they are quite common and are removed very easily. The good news is that your doc is paying attention and willing to do whatever is needed to make sure you're healthy first. Good luck!

 

[Chiles]

Still hanging around so ladies dont forget about me!!!! lol!!!

 

[flybaby]

Wanted to go to the store to get a sensitive text...Good thing it's snowing to keep me home! I know I shouldn't do it. I really want to wait until 22dpo because if it's bfn I'd get provera and start the next cycle. Something a little more invasive I hope. But I didn't realize that at 10 dpo I'd be putting myself through so much! Not sure how I did this before. Really getting harder as it comes closer to a year... I know I'm stupid to think...but If I am pregnant now...I'd be due the same time when I had my 2nd M/C. I'm just hoping and praying for a sticky bean and some extra special baby dust. Come on, this tww wait has to be more torture than I ever thought...

If you did not ovulate you can still bleed when the endometrial lining sloughs off. I have pcos too & due to the intermittent LH surges I have had +opk when I know nothing was happening- multiple u/s every other day showing no follies growing. It can be quite frustrating. This month I didn't ovulate either & AF showed up Cd19. So she definitely has a mind of her own. Good luck! Did you take a hpt to make sure you're not pregnant?

 

[jchic]

Flybaby - I know what you mean! The 2ww is absolutely torture! I am 8dpo today and crawling OUT of my skin. Just try and hang in there and KNOW that you arent alone. My fingers are crossed for you

 

[MKHewson]

Hey Ladies, Just checking in, I hope you all had a wonderful weekend, for those not in Ont, we had a great long weekend. Monday was family day here. So I am about 8 weeks now...things seem to be moving along. I am off to Maui on the 3rd of March for a week, then back to Toronto, then off to Newfoundland from the 12-25th LOL. I am looking froward to 3 weeks off work, but not all the travel time....but its a friends wedding I am standing in, so what can you do..

 

[Mrs.Stinski]

CD 2 for me.
