That is wonderful!
Here is to hoping this restart does the trick.

The Cat has really bad cat stomatitis, which is a painful inflammation of the gums. Poor guy, we had his back teeth already removed, but it did not help so we are doing a round of antibiotics and possibly will be taking out the front teeth. he will need kitty dentures soon

The dog is just her routine vaccinations, nothing is wrong with her hopefully except that I need to walk her more.

Paint looks great, i am finally happy with the colour choice. Thinking about the kitchen next, but that will be in awhile - few years at least - as we will be doing the counter tops and back splash as well. No point in painting before that stuff gets picked out.

You need to post some pictures of your earrings! I will post pictures of my paintings and we can have a share our craft day lol!

Would love to share art stuff and see art stuff I am an artist myself. In fact, I am working freelance right now since I was laid off from my job a few months ago

 

[Myshelsong]

Is it sad that I am actually upset that my boobs are feeling totally normal now?
Progesterone must finally have regulated or the Ovedril is finally out of my system.

The one constant symptom I had is gone and we are getting closer to my Saturday blood test. Feeling like it is not going to be a positive like I had hoped.

Off to the craft store!

So I'm 11 dpiui and think there's already bad news I had some slight cramping yesterday and cramping today and there was the faintest hint of brown blood in my CM. Now when I wipe it's pinkish and still cramping like AF is coming. But she isn't supposed to come until Saturday, Friday at the earliest. I've never gotten AF this early and am freaking out

 

[Myshelsong]

Here is to hoping it is implantation bleeding hun

 

[KatO79]

Here is to hoping it is implantation bleeding hun

But can it be IB when it's pink? Like a darker pink? I've heard of it being brown or light pink but not so sure about this color I also don't like the cramping and bleeding happening at the same time. But it should be red by now and full flow or close to it but it isn't yet, it's still dark pink. So maybe tomorrow

 

[madtowngirl]

I'm sorry to hop in on your thread (I'm still subscribed and will shut my mouth after this). I don't want to give you false hope, but my IB was pink/red, and about the same time frame.

 

[DBZ34]

Stine- I'm not surprised they have a bunch of women having to up the dose of meds and try again. They started you out on such a low dose! I wonder why they just don't up the meds instead of having women go through all this worry.... I'm glad you didn't miss ov though! Here's to hoping round two goes swimmingly. Sending growing follie thoughts your way.


Myshel- Don't lose hope yet! The trigger might be out of your system, but that doesn't mean good things aren't on the horizon.I hear symptoms can come and go, even when someone is pregnant, so here's hoping that the 30th will bring great news!

Kat- Fx for IB!! I really hope this is it for you!



AFM- I've been testing out the trigger. I was thinking I would do it every other day, but the POAS bug has bitten me and I can't stop dipping little sticks in pee. It's a sickness, I tell you. The lines are just starting to fade a bit. I might try to wait a day and test again. We'll see if I can resist.

The progesterone is starting to hit me. I've been having some of my usual TWW symptoms, but they're more pronounced, so I know the progesterone is in there and doing it's job at least.

Hi madtowngirl :wave:

No problem, I'm sure you're still welcome to comment Where you also cramping the whole time?

OK I haven't entirely given up hope because I'm still spotting and the cramping is coming in waves (like it was doing yesterday actually). Like it'll be barely there for a few hours and then gradually get bad almost like AF cramps for a couple of hours and then it goes down again. Normally when AF arrives I'll have bad cramping the first day and it may start out with some spotting but goes full flow and very red after a few hours.

I've been debating on if I should call the clinic to ask them what they think if I don't get AF for real by 2:30 PM since they close their telephone lines at 3:00 PM

UPDATE: Ended up calling the clinic and it seems it's up in the air but she was slightly leaning towards this is early AF, mostly because I'll have some red spotting She told me that there's nothing to do but wait. If I start bleeding for real to call back so they can start my next IUI (plus refer me for IVF, ughh ) and if AF never gets started so it's full flow, to take an HPT around 16 dpiui because even if I am pregnant, she said it's too early to take an HPT now.

 

[KatO79]

Nope AF is pretty much full-blown now, starting to get heavy red bleeding so game over So called the clinic to get started on IUI #4 We'll be referred for IVF now, will ask the nurse tomorrow at my scan when that'll get done since the waiting time is 4-5 months. Not only that but the clinic at the hospital we'll be most likely referred to is closed all of July so we might run into a problem there.

So on to what will be another pointless IUI with lower chances then the last 3, hooray for me

Sorry, am pretty negative today but I'll get over it by tomorrow, just need to rage a bit today

 

[Myshelsong]

I'm so sorry hon, no need to apologize about feeling negative. Take the day cry/scream it out, have a glass or seven of wine and try to get ready for the next cycle.
What were your numbers this IUI?

 

[KatO79]

I'm so sorry hon, no need to apologize about feeling negative. Take the day cry/scream it out, have a glass or seven of wine and try to get ready for the next cycle.
What were your numbers this IUI?

2 follies (one on each side) and 40 million count, that was 10 million more than for my 2nd IUI Which is why I'm starting to get the feeling that IUI won't work for us. If the next one doesn't, I'll just be going through the motions until we can start IVF.

I think what's also getting to me was another member of BnB got her BFP on her 1st IUI with Clomid and she was almost 40, ughh So I'm like what's up with that and I'm even on hormones and can't seem to get pregnant for the life of me.

So yet again I've been telling DH my eggs MUST be crappy, I don't care what my hormone tests showed

 

[Bee Bee]

Ughhhhh I think AF is coming today! I had some spotting just now and quite a bit of it but there was tissue and stuff in the toilet. And the longer I am awake, the more the cramps are coming on. So, its definitely coming out of nowhere this month.

Probably gonna be a doozy since I was on progesterone most of the TWW. @___@

 

[Myshelsong]

Looks like your r temps took a dive as well. Sorry hun, hope next luck is better for your. I found progesterone increased my Af by two or three days the last three cycles.

 

[wannabemummyb]

Sorry Kat and Bee

I'm on cd 23 and still waiting for ov! Have a feeling this is going to be an annovulatory cycle.

 

[KatO79]

Awww that stinks wannabemummyb I hope you do O though

 

[Bee Bee]

Looks like your r temps took a dive as well. Sorry hun, hope next luck is better for your. I found progesterone increased my Af by two or three days the last three cycles.

It's alright! I wasn't expecting much this month so I knew AF was inevitable. And lordy, I hope it doesnt last days longer! Uck D:

 

[KatO79]

Appointment went fine and they're keeping my dose at 75 IU Puregon since she felt I respond well to it and saw no reason to increase it. No cysts I go in again on Friday for U/S #2 to see when I can trigger. DH came with me and got to ask a couple of questions to the nurse which is good, also because he can answer any questions his parents have and "defend" me if they start conveying worry over my lack of ability to conceive. He also managed to remember to ask her about referring us to the nearest hospital for IVF since there's a long waiting period and she said she'd get that done today So we're set for IVF if the next 3 IUIs don't work out either.

The nurse doesn't think it's my eggs though, she kept talking about how timing is everything so guess ours wasn't optimal the last 3 times

 

[Bee Bee]

Dammit! I was supposed to go and get my blood drawn early this morning so that the RE could have my results before they closed today at 1. :/ But I accidentally overslept! I have a preliminary US today at 12:30 though to check my follies pre-femara and make sure there aren't any cysts.

I can't go get my blood drawn right now because I am waiting on someone from craigslist to come by the house. My hubby is spoiling me and he bought me a chicken coop yesterday! I've been talking non-stop about getting chickens for a while now so I guess he got tired of listening to me! ;P I can pick up my chicks tomorrow. So, I guess I'll be mother hen for a while before I get my lol!

So anyway, I'll have to get blood drawn after they leave and then the results most likely wont come back till after the REs office is closed. So, I'll just have to wait until tomorrow for the Femara script which is fine but a bit on the nose as tomorrow is CD3.

 

[Stine]

Sorry to hear the witch showed Kat & Bee Bee. FX for your next cycles.

AFM woke this morning to dark brown/dark red spotting. I'm on CD22 and last day of my second round of Femara for this month. I have no idea what it's going on with my body and I'm highly annoyed. Anyone ever have spotting while on Femara?
