Femara Friends!

[Ms. Shortie]

Wow... I can't believe all the BFP that occurred in the last week while I was gone enjoying some sun on a cruise. Congratulations to all you ladies.... it gives me hope.

AFM on Femara 5 mg (round 2 of Femara but round 1 of the new dose since nothing happened at 2.5mg). I had an ultrasound before leaving for the cruise at CD9 and had 1 follie at 1.7 cm with a stripe of 4mm. Then did OPKs on the trip and got my crosshairs at CD13. We DTD that day, the day after and the day after... so hope that was enough. . Now TWW. Probably should wait to test until 3/14... but knowing me... won't make it past 10 days post O to try (plus I got a bunch of free ones from my friend who had a positive IUI on round 2). Just happy that I finally O'd since this is the first time in 3 months due to PCOS.

Another BFN this morning, thinking I will be out this cycle. It seems that my temps are taking a slow nosedive, 97.89, 97.88. I see my OBGYN on the 15th so maybe she will do an HSG and order a SA for DH.

my temps are going up, when they should be going down! I have been taking my temp so long, I have run out of charts and will have to print a new one after this cycle!

 

[Ms. Shortie]

Sorry Charisse. How many dpo are you? You're not out until AF shows. Baby dust to all!

 

[flybaby]

How was all your weekends?

Not too much here, tried to clean but nephew was here so it was a little difficult!
Can't wait for my 2nd Beta results hopefully they'll have them in the morning...I know it's not the most perfect to go off of but I needed something because my appointment isn't for 5 more weeks! Holy cow!! I'll be over 10 weeks by then and ready to hear the heartbeat.

Temp took a bigger dive this morning although still above coverline,97.72. Expect AF in a couple of days since last cycle my temps to a gradual dive before AF showed.

 

[flybaby]

lola yes, the dr is out on the 9th week so they couldn't get me in until the 10th week...

Wednesday pm my Beta was 345. Saturday am Beta was 960 so it's good that it's growing properly but I'm still skeptical just because it reached 3 thousand post bleed with my last M/C.

The only difference is my sore boobs! Like I said before the heartbeat is what is going to make all the difference to my husband and me. Although with my 1st M/C I heard the heartbeat...

It's a crap shoot, I hope we get to keep this baby!

Charisse - there's still hope! My temp took a dive this morning too..yesterday was 98.62 and this morning it was 98.2, so still above the cover line as well. I'm 16DPO (CD32) ...I hope this cycle doesn't drag out! ...unless of course I get that BFP!
Since you're 11DPO you've still got time!

 

[IwantMyTurn]

Ok ladies...so I just took a CBD test..BFN. UGH!!! I knew it was coming, but BLAH! I'm so down today...where in the heck is AF!?! I know everyone says "you're not out until AF shows" ..but for me, with PCOS, when do I decided to call my RE after not getting AF after a certain amount of time? How long do I let it go????
My apologies for being such a "Debbie Downer" today, but this is just driving me nuts more so the past couple days...I'm sick of everything having to be so hard for us!!! I'm so jealous and resentful of everything right now! blah! blah! blah!

 

[Cridge]

Iwantmyturn!! I would call your doc if you get to 18dpo. Never should a LP make it to 18dpo unless you're pregnant, so something would definitely be going on at that point. I'm so sorry about the bfn! You're not being a downer - that's what we're here for... support!! Vent all you want girl!

Thanks so much Cridge! I figured I should probably call around 18DPO...but the nurse just told me to call with a positive preggo test or on the onset of my next period...so I just wasn't sure.
My last cycle (my first medicated cycle) I was so surprised when I got AF on my own, (had a 30 day cycle) so now that I'm late with all the BFN's...I just don't know what to think.....sure it's the damn PCOS...but what else could it be? Do you think my RE will have me come in and do a check on me? And do you know if people with PCOS have issues with getting a correct result with HPT's? UGH! All of the unknowns are just really eating at me today. Been a cry baby since yesterday evening. BLAH! ...but maybe that's because AF is coming...who knows!

i better have good follies cause im getting crazy zits. didnt even have them in hs.

 

[Cridge]

iwantmyturn - I have pcos and there is no reason that a hpt should be any different. You know for sure when you ovulated, right? If you ovulated, you WILL either get a bfp or af. It's possible that the test you're using isn't detecting a low level of hcg - I'm not sure about CBD. I used a FRER the evening of 9dpo and got a barely there positive, and my hcg was 3 mIu that morning. So I trust that FRER's pick up VERY low hcg. I know this is so frustrating right now, but hopefully you'll have an answer very soon!

Cridge - I do know I ovulated...I had a P4 test on the 25th (CD23) and my level was 50.9. I did use a FRER the first time I tested, then I skipped a day, and used the Clear Blue Digital today, because that was the only one I had left..it came in my OPK pack. I don't think I will test again and just wait it out...and if AF doesn't show within the next 2 days, I'll call my RE and see what he says.

Thanks again for all of the information and support. It's truely helped me calm down.

 

[Cridge]

you're welcome! My only thought is that maybe you're off by a day or two?? Or do you have 16 high temps as of today? I think waiting it out until 18dpo is a good thought. Some women don't get a bfp until later for some reason - hopefully you're one of them, but hopefully you'll know either way in a couple of days!
