Our thread number is starting to look like the Superbowl game #. haha ...

Glad to see a new thread, the other one was giving me lots of trouble.

UGh

I don't know what's going on with my stupid body.  I did Clomid followed by Prometrium for my last cycle. I thought I was getting a period on January 20th, but I never got beyond spotting and the GYN's nurse said don't stop the Prometrium until at leat after 28 days and a BFN, even though I had had 23 day cycles before, which this would have been another one of the those. AF appeared to start for good on January 27th so I tested BFN and stopped the Prometrium. Short 4 day AF, on the lighter side. So this is where it gets really weird I had a positive OPK on Sat. which is either CD 9 or CD 16 depending on what was really AF.  We did BD on Sat but Sunday's OPK which I took really late was a very faint line and I started feeling like crap from all the junk food at a Superbowl party so no BD we just couldn't get going. Hope we didn't mess up. Ugh. I don't know what to think. At least my RE appointment is Tomorrow. So much paperwork.

@bunny:  

At least there's some humor in our joint sad saga's.

@kayakgirl73:  So wait, you had a positive OPK Saturday? If the line Sunday was light, that means it was negative. The second line on an OPK must be as dark or darker than the control line to be positive.

@bunny:  

Saturday's appeared to be as dark as the control line. Clearblue test. Sunday's was very very faint but was taken more than 24 hours after saturday's test. So if I o'd I'm sure it had passed by Sunday. Just my cycle days are crazy so who knows what was really Aunt Flo last month.

@kayakgirl73:  I'm in the same boat -- Provera back in January followed by a lighter than usual period, and I'm supposed to be on CD25 of my first Femara cycle, but I had spotting/bleeding on CDs19-23. Now the doctor isn't sure where I'm at in my cycle. 

I just spoke with the nurse and I'm to take a pregnancy test first thing tomorrow AM just to be sure (though with my progesterone so low last week, I know I'm not pregnant), and then start provera again tomorrow to get me back to square one. We're upping my Femara dosage, but I'm not sure how much. I forgot to ask. I'll have to bring that up with the nurse tomorrow.

@bunny:  

So sorry that your in the uncertainty boat as well.

@Candy_Nee:  Thanks! If the next dosage up doesn't work, we'll probably go back to clomid. I hated the side effects, but I'm willing to put up with them for the assurance that I'll ovulate. I'm actually glad they're making me take one. I didn't before my last round of provera because I thought it would hurt to see the BFN, but then after that I kept wondering if I miraculously been pregnant and ruined everything, so it will be nice to have that negative test in my pocket in case I second guess myself.

So I'm seriously getting antsy at 10dpiui (probably 9dpo).  I made sure to pee quickly in the morning so that I would not take a test.  I'm willing myself to be feeling twinges and that might be true, but I just don't know.  By the way I've decided that the only viable symptom is twinges.  All of the other are simply hormonal (IMO).

@Mrs Green Grass:  I know the feeling! How long are you trying to hold out? You are doing so good -- don't cave yet. I'm thinking good thoughts and crossing my fingers for you!

@bunny:  well I've had 13 and 14 day LP's on Clomid.  So that puts AF at Friday or Saturday.  I would really like to wait it out, but I"ll probably test Sat if I make it that far...

missmegan11: (((Hugs))).  I know how frustrating TTC and the problems it can cause in a marriage.  I agree that taking a break maybe the best thing.  I've found myself obsessing about everything in the TWW and just being a "B" to DH cause of the situation.  The only reason we are not taking a planned break until we meet w/ our RE is due to my advanced maternal age(41).  Honestly though I wish I didn't have to rush to do it all in our first year of marriage.  Hell, I'm just learning to share and having to worry about someone else and their feelings.  Add TTC and its a delicate situation.  Sending lots of prayers that you and your DH will get back on track.

@Mrs Green Grass:  I soo want to test tomorrow.  I'm a day behind and every twinge and tug I've been feeling, I've tried to not symptom spot but I just want to know either way.   

Well Ladies.  I was hoping to finally be a graduate this month but AF will be showing up instead.  Very disappointed but can't wait to see RE on Monday.  Have a wicked migraine so my body is telling me I need a break.  Will check in later this week.  Sending lots of hugs and prayers to my Ladies:)

@squeak35:  I DID test today.  I couldn't help myself...BFN, surprise, surprise.  I'll still hold out a tiny bit of hope.

@squeak35:  

Good luck at the RE. I just came back from my first RE appointment. it went very well. I have lots of hormone testing to be done and I need the HSG test done. I have to wait to next cycle for the testing since I'm too far into this cycle. But at least I have good info now, we like the doctor and nurse, and DH's SA looks really good.

I undestand about the time is of essence as I'm 38. We did wait a year before we tried, since we had never lived together, but sometimes I wonder if that was the best idea. Also we've now been trying a year, I wish I had insisted on the RE 6 months ago when I was suspecting issues.

Looks like I'm going to start 10 days of Provera today! I only had 5 last time, and I didn't feel it was enough to bring on a full period, so I'm very thankful that they're giving me 10. Femara dosage is up to 5mgs for 5 days. We are springing for the IUI this cycle, but I'm not sure what all that will entail. The nurse is checking with the doctor on whether he wants CD3 blood work and/or HSG. I plan to call around to get cash prices for the HSG, if so, becuase I don't think insurance will cover it. Those of you who have had the HSG, how much did it cost? 

On a related note, I found out last night that Ohio law requires insurance companies to cover infertility "when medically necessary," but doesn't go into further detail about what that means, which basically has given the companies license not to cover it. It makes me SO ANGRY that they're ignoring the spirit of the law. I can't believe no one has challenged them on this!

@kayakgirl73:  Don't give yourself a hard time. You did what was best for you at the time, and that's all we can expect from our past selves, you know?  *hugs*

@travelgirl1:  Glad things were better today! How did your ultrasound look?

@Mrs Green Grass:  Sorry about the BFN, hon. :(

@Jenn23 Hope your beta goes well today. <3

@Jenn23:  I'm crying happy tears, too! That's so, so awesome! YAYYYYY!
