January testing thread / Starting 2019 with BFPs

[thencomesbebe]

My first cycle with half the trigger it was out of my system around 9dpo, and my tests were positive the next day but it was a chemical. With my second trigger it wasn't out of my system until 10dpo, and that was a BFN.

How long does it normally take to leave your system? Do you test the trigger out?

This is our first time using a trigger! I have decided not to test the trigger because I don't think I can handle seeing amazing positives followed by negatives...that would be so hard. I have read that with a 10,000 HCG trigger shot it should take appx. 10 days for it to leave your system. We triggered on the 17 (and IUI on the 19th), so it should be out of my system by the 27th, which is why I'm completely comfortable testing on the 31st!

I'm so sorry that your ultrasound looks annovulatory. Did she order a pf (progesterone)? You can ovulate and have a thin lining. It happened to me last cycle. As a matter of fact I had a chemical and my lining was just 0.5mm, which is super thin. But my p4 indicated ovulation. It would help you with the overall picture to see your p4 levels. Especially if you've been charting and your charts show ovulation. If your lining is thin but you are ovulating that's something that can be corrected with estrogen supplementation in the beginning of your cycle, or even letrozole to make sure that your ovulation is stronger and have that estrogen priming in the follicular phase.

Do you have any of your charts we can look at? And I'm sorry if I'm over-stepping, I just never take gynecologists words as final. They are great but when it comes to fertility their scope is limited and they usually make a diagnosis based off one or two things when you need bloodwork to confirm ultrasounds. They should always go hand in hand. A thin lining doesn't necessarily equal no ovulation. It could just mean your lining isn't building right, and that's a whole other battle to fight.

You are not over-stepping at all and thank you so much for the experienced opinion and optimistic support! You made me feel like I am not alone. I just added my FF Chart in my signature, hope it works. This is only a partial chart though since my Ava broke just in time to miss ovulation. Last month looked like this though (inserted image). I will do bloodwork in about 3-4 days and hopefully by day 14 I will be able to discuss the results with her again before the follicle-US.
What do you do to make your lining thicker? I really hope you catch the egg this month and have time to build your lining until implantation is due. Really rooting for you for a new year's BFP!

I've been thinking all week, how do people even fall pregnant?! It's so hard!

DH said this exact thing after we had the chemical earlier this month. He’s never really paid attention to the actual odds of getting pregnant - he was like how do people have accidental babies?!

Apperently I’m out for December, so next AF is due on January 17th.

So sorry to everyone joining us because of AF for December but welcome! Fingers crossed we can all share exciting BFPs for the new year!

Hey there! Could you please add me for January 12th!! Excited to see what the new year brings!

 

[Bevziibubble]

Good luck

You are a rock star and a ninja! The 31st isn't too long away for normal, sane people. Fingers crossed! How are you feeling?

OMG Nima....that chart still looks ovulatory even though it's partial! I think your lining is just thin. Have you tested? Even last month's looks ovulatory. Are you temping at different times each morning?

Merry Christmas everyone!

Thank you! It's reassuring to know someone else also thinks so. The gynecologist wasn't so impressed... I didn't test because we couldn't inseminate this month so no chance. I should be bleeding by now, I feel af is really close. If it will come today I'll take the bloodtest tomorrow morning. What do you consider day 1 if af arrives at night? I'm wondering.
Do you mind writing what you do for your lining to grow thicker? I read articles about vit E and l-arginine.

Have a very nice holiday ladies!

Please can you put me down for 7th jan! Good luck everyone!

Af due 1/9. I’d like to test early on the weekend but won’t if I don’t feel different. Could test as early as 1/5. Hoping this was my Christmas miracle.

 

[Bevziibubble]

Fingers crossed!

I consider AF the first day of full flow, even if it comes that night.

So for me what's always worked is pomegranate juice and red raspberry leaf tea.3-4 cups a day of both.

Feeling pretty down today. It's officially 14 years of trying now. Yesterday a few of my family members asked me when we were going to have kids, why we didn't have any, did we want them, could we have them, etc., and it was just hard. I hate being around family for the holidays for this very reason. Last year one of my cousins just blurted out "you all know Pepper can't have any kids anyway" from another room while i was in the kitchen serving food. I don't even know why my name was mentioned or what the conversation was about. It's just hard. Today I feel hopeless and so, so, so sad. I've tried everything and nothing has worked. I think I'm going to give it until my birthday in August of next year, and if I'm not pregnant by then, it will be time to give up.

Thanks for letting me vent today.
