Sorry I've been MIA for a while. I had my follicle check last week on Friday, and was expecting it to go well and it didn't. I was crushed, had a total breakdown, it was harder than the BFN after the IUI.
Last cycle I had a 20mm follicle on cd12, and testing confirmed ovulation, but my progesterone was low for a clomid cycle, and I was only on 50mg. So this cycle they up'd it to 100mg with plans for two trigger shots 5 days apart. Well I didn't really feel much this cycle, as in ovary pain but didn't think much of it, but my u/s showed only a 10mm and a 13mm follicle. Just doesn't make any sense and the Dr. had no good reason either except people vary from cycle to cycle. So they decided to stair-step me, and put me on 150mg of clomid right away, and I'm supposed to go back on Thursday to see if they grew enough to trigger. Each appt costs us over $200 and to spend that to be told it didn't work, come back in 6 days really upset me. We honestly can't afford another cycle, so if this one doesn't work, I guess we skip a few to save up money.
Anyone hear of 50mg working but 100mg doesn't??
To top it off I have to work Thursday and can't get off work. My manager usually changes my schedule for me but of course she's on vacation, and no one wants to work part of my shift, so I will either have to call out or not go to the appt and just cancel this whole cycle. Maybe a break wouldn't be a bad idea, but I know that the consecutive treatments are more successful than having one every few cycles.
Grr...sorry for being negative, all of you have had such wonderful news lately. I hope you all have a happy new year!
but can't help it. Lol
