Oh my goodness Iluv and Ali- wow! I'm not familiar with the IVF process so please excuse me if this is a dumb question but is the pain from producing eggs? Fingers crossed for you ladies that this is the only cycle you need to get your babies! Feel better and I'm sorry you're in so much pain

The pain seems to start shortly after I take all the injections. I'm currently taking 225iu of Menopur and 300 of Bravelle. Just the side effects of the drugs I guess, that and my ovaries are getting big and swollen. I just hope that it doesn't last too much longer!!!
We'll see what they say after my next US tomorrow (Thursday).
Hope you are doing OK!! Any plans for this cycle that were different than last cycle?

Oh man- how long do you have to do the injections? FX for your u/s tomorrow.
My FS is putting me on Letrizol (Femera) because the Clomid thinned my lining... but... the nurse at my FS just called to see if I had gotten AF yet. I said no (17DPIUI) and and she said, not surprised since your progesterone was at a 6.3 (or a 63, whatever makes sense, haha) yesterday and you need to be at a zero to have your period. She asked if we had sex after the IUI and I said yes, a couple times. She says, well you did have 6 big follicles (4 on my non tube side) so you could have released another egg later and done it on your own. So she wants me to call if I do not get my period by Friday. Holy crap. My temp went up yesterday and dropped a little today but nothing significant like usual with AF is on her way. So now I am very confused and do not know what to think!
See if maybe you did it on your own 
Now wouldn't that be a surprise! If not, the femara should be much easier on your body than Clomid. I don't know why they don't just start people on it before using Clomid. Dr's.. they just don't make sense sometimes! It doesn't give you nearly the side effects that clomid did, and it doesn't thin your lining either. Let us know what happens! I'm hoping for a 
!!!

Sounds like you need to
I tested on Friday and it was negative and that let down was so huge that I did t test again at home and then had the blood test yesterday. Maybe if I don't have AF by Friday morning I'll test again...but I imagine I'll be going in for blood work on Friday if no AF... sigh this is all so confusing. I didnt temp for 4 days a couple days after my IUI because we were camping and now I'm kicking myself because I feel like my chart doesn't make much sense.

Thank you so much Ali- I really appreciate it
What are they looking for with your u/s tomorrow? I imagine it's to see how you reacted to the injections and how many/quality of your eggs, right?
jenny-You so need to test! Inquiring minds want to know!
Feeling a lot better today. Just tired from the pain pills. Trying only to take them at night. Started the PIO and ouch my hip! So worth it though.

Jenny.. Have you asked your DR about Femara? It is simliar to Clomid, but doesn't thin the lining and has less side effects. It might be more expensive, but I think it has been proven to be a better option? 
My lining is a triple lining at 10mm, YAY! 
The only issue is that the follicles aren't growing that fast, they are only around 9-10mm (the biggest ones). So they have only grown 1mm in 2 days. UGH. I have gone from 11 follicles to 30.. EEK! So they are going to wait for my estrogen bloodwork this afternoon, and suggest what to do with me then.
I have heard good things about it. You'll have to let us know how you feel on it, and whether it was better than clomid.
It is insane how expensive the drugs are for IVF. Good news is that the stimming is coming to an end, or will be in another few days (I hope). Probably by Mon-Wed we should be ready to do the egg retrieval. Just need those follicles to get growing!
Just need to wait and see I guess. UGH, I know how 
the 2WW is, I do hope you are successful this month
