Hey girls! Took another test today at 13DPO and BFN...boo!!! BUT, I called my FS today basically asking if they wanted me to come in for my CD1-3 ultrasound or to just skip it since I have my consult on Thursday. She told me it was up to me, but that the doc wants me to do a hybrid of follistum and femara on the next cycle...which means...THEY AREN'T GOING TO MAKE ME DO IVF NEXT!!! :happydance: WHOOHOO!!! :happydance: IVF is like one of the scariest things in the world to me (basically just b/c of the price tag) so to know it's still not something I have to deal with is SUCH a relief!
 
Rach-I'm sorry you got another bfn... and that is great you don't have to deal with IVF just yet. I pray this works for you this time! Have you done this combo before? Or is it something new for you? You have always been taking clomid correct? Big prayers to you! :hugs: xx
 
I have done clomid 5 times, but have recently just been using follistum. The femara will be completely new to me.

Question Heather, did you notice if the fertileCM made you produce more cm? I NEVER have ANY of the fertile cm, so I thought about giving something like that a try.
 
yes i did...i didn't notice any egg white, but it definately made it more wet around O time. To prove it, usually I only use preseed to help and hubby can get off fine.... this time with the fertile cm, to be on the safe side I still used a little preseed, but it was too much and slippery than usual. Hubby could not get off. I don't think it was because he was sick or the medicine he was taking. I just think there was too much. So another night we tried, i didn't use anything to help. It was still very wet, so compared to normal I did notice a difference. Good luck to you using it! You should try it!! Hope the femara, being something totally new, helps you this time!!
 
Plus it helps build a great uterine lining for the possible implantation of an egg! Usually my af isn't too heavy, so i don't think i have been producing a great lining either. Hopefully this fertilecm helped me in more than one way!
 
Good! I will definetly pick some up. Did you get it at a place like Walgreens? What DPO are you now?
 
I got it from early-pregnancy-tests.com I am 6dpo today. I started taking the fertilecm when i got it in the mail on cd3.
 
I'm sorry about the test, Rach, but YAY for no IVF!! I'm like you-- the whole thing is overwhelming. I'm loving Femara; hopefully you will too.

AFM, went in for mid-cycle ultrasound and I have a good follicle on the left side. That's right where we want it! I trigger on Sunday (have to give the shot to myself--eek!) then we BD Sunday and again 36 hours later. Very specific, these doctors. I'll have another doc visit a week from Tuesday for blood work and then again the week after that to check for pregnancy. I'm exhausted just thinking about it!

Anyway, hope you all have a great weekend!
 
Hey girls how's everyone doing?

Mirolee, do you think you've O'ed yet?

Laura, when do you think you'll start your new job?

Heather, when are you planning on testing?

AFM, tested today, 14DPO and it was a :bfn:. So, I'm not testing again. I'll stop taking my meds that hold off my period Monday so that I can do my consult and my ultrasound on the same day. I'm anxious to start this new combo (little embarresed to admitt that I thought femara was an injection, not a pill :blush:). I am somewhat nervous as I haven't really found a whole lot online about ppl with this combo. I am resolving myself to ask my doc why he thinks this hasn't worked yet(I usually chicken out). I think having hubs there will give me some back bone. It's just frustrating to not know what's wrong.
 
Sorry Rach... :hugs: I plan on testing probably Tuesday at the earliest. But I may wait a little longer. We will see how my temps are and how i'm feeling. Thanks :)
 
Hey ladies

congrats ttc h&h 9 months

Rach, sorry about the bfn hun, but the combo sounds promising. When will you be starting that? fx it works huni, i'm scared about ivf too but i'm more concerned with the needles and all the meds etc... but i seriously would consider being prodded with a cattle rod if it meant getting and keeping my bfp. Things we have to do eh :hugs:

Hey heather, glad your feeling better huni, hope tuesday is a lucky day huni. Oh the colours look lovely in my living room went shopping for a whole load of stuff yesterday. Just bought some garden furniture as well but its still snowing here and really we should be seeing some signs of spring by now :(

Barb, :happydance: great news about the follicle. Sounds like you have alot going on but were right there behind you sweetie.

Hey mirolee how are things hun?

afm, well really not sure what is going on with my body right now. Got a load of ewcm this morning and i NEVER seem to get this. Thought i had already O though? Its making me think should i just bd with dh and see what happens? But then i think well i have to do an mva course soon and if i do get a bfp this could really mess that up as if i was preg there bis no way i would be able to do it as its a course in using restraint etc... arrrrrgh, dont know what to do?
 
if it's meant to be, it will happen. Just do the NTNP thing... :) :hugs:

I had a few short spells of nausea yesterday!! No one else was sick, so I'm assuming it wasn't from food. FX it's good sign for me! I am 8dpo today!
 
Hey ladies!
I'm about cd 19 or so. I've had spotting the last few days during my bathroom trips, and it's really messing with my brain. I do not think I've ovulated yet, as I have not had symptoms, so maybe I am gearing up...? I had a temp spike yesterday, but chocking that up to poor sleep. Sigh, I dunno. I want to feel normal in my body, not frustrated all the time! Going to dr on wednesday and getting clomid. Dang it!
Sounds like you gals all have promising things happening. I'm so curious to see what the next couple weeks hold for you all!
 
hey heather yeah we dtd but it was more fun than anything which was a nice respite from hey hunni, quick, bedroom NOW!!!!! lol. Anyway i hope that the sickness is a really good sign, keeping fx crossed for you and sending prayers your way :hugs:

Ah bless, mirolee i'm sure its nothing to worry about. Just keep taking your temps hun and see if it continues to climb. I have had bleeding with O before so it might just be that as the egg has burst out of your follicle it has caused a small bleed. Good luck sweetie fx

Got the family coming down for easter weekend. Really looking forward to it as i havent saw my mum since xmas. Also got another acupuncture app thurs so really looking forward to that.

How are things Rach and Barb?
 
I am kinda super bummed today....don't know why my temp took a big plunge, .3 degrees anyway...i am only 9 so jeez i am not expecting af til at least Friday!!! That would put me at my usual/average lp of 12 days. Maybe it's a good sign? Maybe not? I am just not feeling it at all from my temps this cycle. Another bust I suppose. Oh, well...wasn't thinking this cycle would work anyways from my uti and dh being sick.
 
loads of women have temp dips at 9dpo, both with positive and negative results. you're still in it, Mama, you got 4 more days at least!
 
i thought implantation wasn't that big of a dip? I suppose if my temp goes back up to where it was maybe tomorrow morning it could be possible? I guess a few more days will tell. I am not testing tomorrow. I think i'll just wait til Friday when I'm due.
 
Heather- I agree with the other ladies. Temps can drop for any number of reasons. You're not out!! Good luck!

Mirolee- Sounds promising to me! Can't wait to hear what happens.

AFM- I'm feeling really optimistic about our thread this month. Maybe it's the Ovidrel talking, but things seem promising around here lately!

So, I took my shot on Sunday-- first time I've ever had to give myself a shot so I was super scared! But, honestly-- I didn't feel a thing. Seriously-- not a thing. I was sitting there looking at this needle going into my stomach and thinking, "Really? Is it in at all?" So, that was good.

Hubby was WAY weirded out by the scheduled BD, but we got through it. It definitely takes the romance out of it, but we tried to make it as natural as possible. We'll see how Tuesday morning goes. It's gonna be very early that day-- 6am. But I wanted to catch a time that wouldn't make me impossibly late to work.

Today, like I said, I'm feeling pretty optimistic. Is must show because my coworker just asked me, "Did you go somewhere over the weekend? You just look... Wait-- you're not pregnant are you? You're glowing!" I WISH! At best it's the HCG from the shot... Oh well!
