The 19th!! We're so close!

Getting ready to go to my u/s, I'll let you ladies know how it goes :)
 
MrsChaffin - Welcome, hope you get some good news :)

KarenH - I hope you get some answers soon :(

I had my follow up appointment today and my doctor decided to try 150mg of Clomid on days 3-10 with an ultrasound on day 15. She said if this doesn't work then we will try the Femara as I might just be one of those women who responds to it and not the Clomid.

I'm also going to be ramping my lazy butt in gear to get more exercise in and be more diligent about my diet.
 
poetinmyheart- Good luck with the Clomid. :flow: I hope it works, but if it doesn't, I can tell you side effects for Femara are so minimal in comparison. I don't know if it will make me O or not, but the last week on Femara was a cakewalk compared to Clomid.

MrsChaffin- Welcome hun! How did the u/s go?

sugarpi24- Keeping my FX'd that AF stays far, far away. :happydance:

AFM- Nothing new to report. Just waiting on my CD12 u/s and hoping for some big follies.
 
Hey ladies! Well my doc decided, based on the ultrasound, that either I did in fact O on cd14(ish) or I didn't and won't O this cycle; I'm so hoping I did. Yes, I agree Femara has very few to no side effects (I did get a little moody and a few headaches). Going in to get my progesterone levels checked on Tuesday then ill know if the femara worked!
 
Good luck with the progesterone bw, Lauren. I hope you did O! I am surprised they could not tell what was going on with your cycle. From my understanding, the corpus luteum (what the follicle turns into after O) looks a lot like a mature follie, though a slightly different shape, and is visible after O until a few days before AF. :shrug:

Huh! Didn't know that. She did say she saw a few "old" follies, whatever that means. She sounded fairly confident that I did, so maybe that's what she saw. She also said if this cycle didn't work, she is going to up meds from 5mg to 7.5mg, and I'll start cd3-7 rather than 4-8. Thanks for all the encouragement ladies, I appreciate it!! :hugs:

Good luck! It took 7.5 days 3-7 for me to get my bfp.
 
Af is on her way...started to get brown discharge last night and this morning so far. :(
 
MrsChaffin- "Old follicles" do sound like O to me. That is probably what she meant. :happydance:

karenh- How you doing today hun? Any update on your beta? PS: I love the quote in your signature. :hugs:

sugarpi24- I am so sorry hun. :hugs: When do you go back in to your doc?

AFM- Tomorrow is my CD12 u/s. I was feeling good about things, having switched to Femara, but my CBFM is still showing "low". By the last day of my first round of Clomid last cycle, it was saying "high". Of course, I still didn't have any follicles that time either! So I don't know what to think. :shrug: I guess I'll have to wait and see what my RE says tomorrow. (The wait is killing me!)

I really wish that my RE would prescribe me some Follistim. Especially after seeing crappy results with Clomid last cycle. I feel like that would make things work a little better, but so far he has refused. If I don't have any follicles tomorrow though, I am going to go hormonal on him.
 
I called them today I haven't technically started yet..not til I see red or pink...so I'm guessing that'll be tomorrow...but ill do the femera and possibly injectables...ill find out either tomorrow or monday..
 
Looks like I'm out too and the iui was unsuccessful 13dpiui and spotting so pretty sure AF is in her way :-(
 
Well I go in tomorrow for an ultrasound and I start femera tomorrow and then on Friday ill start injectsbles...and then possibly another IUI..oi! :)
 
Sounds like everyone is either nearing testing or on to their next cycle. I've been cramping the last two days and I go in for progesterone levels test tomorrow cd22, cd8.
 
Natashaa1- Aw, hunny. I am really sorry. :hugs: What's the plan for your next cycle?

sugarpi24- Is this your first injectables cycle?

MrsChaffin- GL with the bw!! :thumbup:

AFM- CD12 u/s showed no dominant follicles, so I started up on the next higher dose of Femara. RE will start me either Gonal-F or Follistim next cycle if I don't get a BFP this time around. Need to call insurance tomorrow and find out if they will cover any of it. I REALLY hope so RE said Follistim will run us $150 a day OOP, and he'd like to start at 5 days, though he says we could probably get away with just doing CD's 3, 5, and 7 in conjuntion with 3-7 Femara.
 
Yes it is pink. They are showing me today (tomorrow) how to do them
