WHOA - NATALIE! welcome back stranger!

What's this in your signature about letrozole? Are you already trying that?! Hope all has been going well with you!

 

[NewMrs2011]

Welcome back foquita hope you are well

 

[NewMrs2011]

Seabean your chart does look different this month. Hope it's a good sign

 

[Rachel789]

Yay Nat I am glad your back!!

 

[foquita]

thanks dee and newmrs

yeah I'm on my second cycle of letrozole, last one I ovulated on CD14 and had a 24 day cycle I'm going in for my follicle scan tomorrow morning, last cycle I had a 14mm follie on CD12 so I'm hoping for the same! I went in for another scan on CD13 and it was 15mm so they gave me the trigger shot and I ovulated on CD14 so hopefully I'll have another CD14 ovulation if I have a suitable sized follicle tomorrow!

dee I agree that your chart looks different from usual and I really hope that means it's your bfp cycle!

it's really nice to see you posting again newmrs

Welcome back Nat! Even if you're just dropping by, it's good to hear from you. I've missed seeing your name on the thread.

Thank you for your support about my little scare. It was pretty traumatic but I'm glad that everything seems to be ok now.

 

[foquita]

and thanks rach it was actually your experience that made me try raspberry leaf tea, I remembered you saying your lining had been thin! so what was your lining before? the time you thought it was thin I mean

 

[foquita]

I'm sorry I wasn't around to give you support caroline! I am really so pleased about your bfp and that everything is ok

 

[Rachel789]

It was around 5-6 mm the last two clomid cycles and I think it was thin even before the clomid but maybe the clomid just further thinned it because my AFs ever since stopping BCP have been REALLY light. I was shocked when the dr told me my lining was 11mm. Baby aspirin is also supposed to help thicken the lining because it increases blood flow to the uterus. I didn't get to start baby aspirin until a couple days after O but my RE suggested to take one every day.

 

[Rachel789]

Nat I am surprised they triggered you at 15 mm. I always thought it needed to be at least 18 mm minimum for the trigger? I could be wrong...Caroline what was your experience?

When I went to my first RE I had a scan and my follie was 17 mm and they said they wanted it to be at least 18 mm to trigger. Maybe each dr has different ways of doing it though.

 

[cmwilson]

It's okay Nat! I COMPLETELY understand your need for a break. As long as you keep coming back to check in.

mine was 6.8mm on CD13, hopefully it'll have improved from last cycle when i go in tomorrow if it hasn't i will try baby aspirin next cycle.

no idea and even if i did have an idea it wouldn't make a difference, i can't do anything to change them giving me the trigger, i just have to do what they tell me to

 

[Rachel789]

I am sure they know what they are doing. Its probably just that different drs do it different ways

 

[foquita]

I found a forum with people saying their doctors say anything over 15 is fine and someone conceiving with a 14mm follie at trigger. anyway, there is absolutely nothing I can do about it even if it is wrong.

 

[rmsh1]

Nat!! Welcome back, and it is lovely to see you are getting some proper help now

If you want the baby aspirin I was taking when I got my bfp, I will post it to you Just send me your addie

hey ladies :wave: its almost the weekend and time to relax...wow right!! got a big temp shift this am, totally think last night was o for me...yesterday i had ewcm and sore bbs..we got some bd in too!! i want to take weekends off for tempting but not sure i can now well at least this weekend...but i am not setting an alarm if i wake up i will temp if not..i won't. Trying to stay relaxed (sounds like it right lol) If i did o yesterday with my long lp i won't find anything out until a week after our anniversary but sooo not worry about that part!

And about what to do for our anniversary, its still up in the air -- i do have older kids so we have sports and such all weekend then but we are going to try and do something no matter what.

I am sure it is not wrong, they are drs they know what they are doing I just remembered what the first RE I saw said to me but that was probably just how they prefer to do it, I am sure neither is wrong

Raven - I agree, it looks like you totally ovulated yesterday!! I agree with not temping on the weekends, but I get that you probably want to make sure you really O'd. I think if you took your temp later when you wake up that will be fine! With that huge temp jump, it will be obvious even if it's slightly off from taking it at a later time Have fun this weekend and hopefiully you get some more romantic anniversary time in there

Natalie - congrats on your ovulation with the first round of those treatments! Hopefully you are about to ovulate again and can join all the other BFPs this board got

I have zero plans for this weekend, and am loving it! I was gone the past two weekends, and I feel like we've been out a lot the past few weeks b/c of our softball league and other stuff...it'll be perfect to just sit around in PJs and catch up on tivo, reading, etc

I might test tomorrow I'll be 12 DPO (FF has me off by 1 day) and can celebrate or just put this cycle behind me. I think with the holidays coming up, not being able to finally announce our BFP kinda seems depressing, even though I haven't really minded BFN's too much so far.

 

[Rachel789]

Raven-It looks like you o'ed and had great BD timing Is your anniversary this weekend or next week?

 

[Rachel789]

Dee your temp jump today looks really good! I am excited to hear the results of your test

Your weekend of doing nothing and relaxing sounds amazing!

My 30th birthday is on Tuesday so we are celebrating on Saturday. We are going out to dinner with friends and then we are going to the haunted houses at Busch Gardens. I love Halloween and haunted houses and it is something fun I can do without drinking, so I am looking forward to it DH took off work on my actual birthday and we are going to a pumpkin patch then to an early dinner with my best friend and her fiance. I just hope my body cooperates and I don't feel sick, it is so random when it shows up
