hey ladies :D

i have been checking in and i guess stalking you ladies..sorry!!

nat hope your appointment goes good, and we all understand what ttc is all about, we are here for each other and know that we all feel the same sometimes. Have hope and believe me it will happen for you...i wasn't on bc for the past 5 years and nothing has happened for my and my hubby but we weren't trying either...

rachel -- how r u doing?

bethaney -- looks like you o'd!! how exciting!

caroline -- welcome to the 2ww :D

well not much going on with me! i feel like every morning when i temp its going to go down soon...cause that is what always happens...but i am really really trying to stop letting myself think that!! its like i should stop temping but i can't?! crazy right!
 
your chart looks excellent raven :cloud9:

thank you Caroline!! :hugs: we're femara friends now :happydance: I won't be doing IUI, sperm count is too low :( she gave me a form that I take with me to my scan and it has on it something like 'date & time HCG taken' so I'm wondering if I'll be given a trigger shot too?

do you get side effects from femara?
 
Raven-Your chart looks REALLY good!! :)

Dee-How are you, where have you been? I hope all is well with you :hugs:

Bethany-Those temps are still looking great! :thumbup:

Nat- :wohoo: :happydance: I am sooooo happy to hear you got good news for once!!! I knew your AMH would be great. That is good you were given letrozole. I have heard better about it and you won't have to worry about it causing issues with your lining or cm. Did they say why they preferred to start you on letrozole?

I agree with the others, I would wait a couple days and if no temp rise start the provera. I start my first round of letrozole in October! How many mgs were you prescribed? My dr said he will put me on 7.5 mg. I think it is more normal to be started on 5 mg though. But due to the fact that I was on 100 mg of clomid he wanted to start me higher.

All is well here, I still don't feel any symptoms and I am thinking it didn't happen this cycle again because everything seems to be the same. I just wish I could fast forward to October and be doing my IUI with Femara. I did a 1.5 hour yoga class this morning, it was so nice to relax and burn some calories at the same time!
 
Woohoo Femara Friends! :wohoo: They may give you a trigger shot if it looks like your LH isn't high enough. My doc says they like go see 16 or higher. The HCG may also be your pregnancy test bloodwork. I have mine on September 4th. :shrug:

I didn't have any side effects with the Femara or the Bravelle. :thumbup: With the Clomid I had major hot flashes but nada with Femara. :thumbup:
 
we'll be femara friends too :wohoo: I'm on 5mg but I assume if I don't respond they'll up me to 7.5mg? I don't know why I got letrozole rather than clomid, I'm really surprised actually! they must give that to normal/high AMH women, I was assuming I would get clomid - I'm much happier with letrozole because I've heard such good things about it from you girls.

I'm sitting/lying on the couch with my two wee boxes on me, I can't let them go, I keep looking at them and opening them and all that :laugh2:

I'll take the provera in three days time I think, I don't think I'm going to O on my own this cycle and I just want to get on with the femara! :)
 
that's great to know caroline, I'm excited to take it :D

it actually says 'date and time of HCG: ______

advice to have intercourse on day of HCG and day after'

and it has a little table to be filled in with date, right ovary, left ovary and endometrium. I'm soooo happy, I didn't think I would be monitored as closely as this :)
 
Thats great you will be monitored. It is reassuring going in for a scan and knowing whether or not it is working.

Caroline-That is great to hear you didn't get hot flashes with the Femara. My hot flashes got really bad on clomid, it is so nice to be off it this cycle and not have the hot flashes and bad mood swings. Clomid really did a number on me for side effects. Hot flashes, headaches, no fertile cm, thin lining, moody. :dohh: So glad to be done with that drug!

That definitely sounds like trigger shot then! It's great that they are being so proactive! Will you see the same doctor that you saw today for your scan or will it be a different one?

I'd be staring at the boxes too! You've waited a long time! You deserve to be excited! :happydance:

Are you doing the Provera for 10 days or 5?
 
Nat, that is such terrific news!! :happydance::dance::yipee:That must have lifted your spirits so much:thumbup: I agree with everyone, maybe wait a few days and see what happens. You had a pretty good temp dip and I know a lot of times ovulation follows a big dip, so maybe give it just a few more days and then start the Provera if it doesn't look like you've O'd.
 
so I will still get EWCM with femara?

it'll probably be a different one caroline but I don't mind as long as he/she is nice :) I'm doing provera for 5 days :)

it really did bethany! :) what I'm expecting to happen is my temp will go up tomorrow then back down on friday in the same pattern it has been the rest of the cycle, and then I'll take the provera on friday :dance:
 
I get excited about that stuff too! :haha:

I got EWCM with Femara. I don't know if that had to do with trigger shot or not but it could have been my body actually doing what it's supposed to! :haha:
 
Terrific news for all the femara buddies! So many of you are in the TWW now!! I'll be busy chart stalking!
 
it'll be cool having a wee P for progesterone :coolio:

what symbol is femara???

thanks louise :happydance:
 
I got a call back today with my progesterone levels. They said it indicated I o'ed so I asked what it was and they said 7.4 :( I believe that is way too low isnt it? I had it taken first thing in the morning 5 dpo. Anyone know how much more they may have climbed between 5 and 7 dpo? I can't imagine a lot to make a big difference. I read that sometimes low prog levels could indicate a bad egg like maybe I o'ed too early and it wasnt fully matured. I am disappointed and feel like I am out this cycle yet again.
 
ooh thanks lil i clicked it and it puts a wee 'FE' on my chart!!! i can't wait to have wee 'P's on my chart this cycle then 6 months of 'FE' :haha:

i'm sorry rachel :( :hugs: they're measured differently here so i'm not sure, i bet you dee will be able to tell you, she is the scientist of the thread xxxx

by the way there is a girl on here who i don't speak to but i see in loads of journals and she is about to pop, the cycle she conceived she was told that she hadn't ovulated at all so there's still hope. i hate it when people say things like that to me sometimes so feel free to shake your fist at me through the screen and go 'grr, whyyy iiii oughta' :)
 
Sorry cant help there Rachel, mine was 47.6 on 5/6 dpo but its different measurement in uk i believe. :hugs:
