[tlm]

ILuv, good luck!

Sounds like its going to be a weekend full of interesting stuff and announcements girls!! Can't wait!!

I feel sick... I'm thinking them upping my dose to 2 1/2 vials of Bravelle for 3 days was a huge mistake. Miserable....

BFN on a CBE digital this morning. I'll go in and take a blood test some time today.

Tulip! I am sorry!

Tulip, sorry about the BFN this morning. Hopefully you have better luck with the blood test

Sorry that you are feeling so miserable. What was your dosage before?

Hi all you ladies in the tww!! I have my fingers crossed for each of you . Alicatt are you back home now?
So I am currently an egg farm and will be triggering tonight for egg retrieval on saturday. There is sooo much extra crap that comes along with ivf!! My mind is about to explode!

I'll be checking on all of you ladies to see your bfps come rolling in- ciao for now!

Nope! I'm still in Canada, I'll be here until August 10th. I was actually just counting the days and I might be able to squeeze in another round up here! If my cycle continues to be what it is, I would 'O' a few days before I head back to Florida. I guess we'll see whether this month works or not!

GL with your retrieval on Saturday!!!

I just called the clinic, because they want you to schedule your follow up appointment after several failed cycles with the doctor during the last TWW to avoid missing cycles, I'm not able to get in til the end of August I guess that's okay because we wouldn't switch to IVF til next summer anyway probably :-/ but still. It seems far away....

LMAO! I really needed this laugh.

i'm off to the md for cd7 ultrasound.

Haven't posted in a while ... it has been crazy here too!!!

Had my baseline u/s on 7/9 and had a little scare. I had residual follies left over from last month measuring 20mm and 32mm on rt side. Dr said okay to proceed "whew" and they would just keep an eye on it. I have 16 little follicles ready to be developed, so am finishing up Clomid today ... OPK test starts tomorrow w/ estragen suppositories for lining. Next U/S is Monday morning if no +OPK before then (but I dont think that will happen). Monday will be CD11 and normally O between CD12 - 14 (last month most likely CD13).

If all is good on Monday, will trigger that night and BD and then have IUI on Wed 7/18 (my anniversary of all days) so fingers crossed!!!

Hi Ladis,
I just finished my first cycle of gonal f and had my last scan yesterday. had two follicels (19.6mm and 16.8mm). The dr said that the 16.8mm may hit 18 by the time I do the IUI. I took my trigger shot yesterday and am having my first IUI tomorrow. I amd very excited and nervous.

to all!!!!

Tulip I'm so sorry to hear that. Did the blood test confirm this as well? As hard as it is to hear, I wish you all the more luck in your next cycle.

 

[tulip1975]

Thanks so much for all of the well wishes!

My blood test came back negative as well. So we're on to the next cycle.

What is frustrating me was that the nurse insisted that I schedule a consult with the doctor before we move on to the next cycle. He's only available two days a week (tues and fri) and my DH is out of town on Tuesday.

So of course I'm worried that AF will start too soon after I stop taking the progesterone and that next Friday might miss the window of a starting a Day 3 or Day 5 round of Clomid. She offered to put me on a birth control pill to delay the start of my cycle, but I am so sick of putting hormones into my body. This seems so unnecessary.

So I might just do a natural cycle next time and use one of my progesterone refills during the second half of my cycle as a DIY measure.

I don't know yet.

I'm sorry - that is so frustrating! Why do doctors book themselves to have such little flexibility? You shouldn't have to wait 6 weeks for an appointment!

 

[flangel813]

After seeing a faint line last night, called for a bloodtest today and it's official!

:BFP:

Betas are at 128.4 and test again on Tuesday.

It still hasn't sunk in even after 2.5 years of trying that it finally happened. I didn't want to put too much hope in the IUI esp since it was our first.
