Ok, I walked up the street to the drugstore and picked up a test and.......

nothing!!!!!! It's invalid! I get those a lot. OMG! Now, I gotta wait a few days and try again.

Anna

That stinks! Maybe get another....

Sorry Anna - although I'm impressed you have the willpower to buy a single pregnancy test....I'm always sucked in to the 2 or 3 packs at least

Well....my first RE appt was interesting. It took forever - although the office was very nice. He did do an exam and ultrasound and I have at least 1 (maybe 2) follicles on each side right now around 16mm - based on that he expects me to ovulate most likely on Saturday. I personally think it is more likely it will be later than that since I'm only cd 11 today and I've been ovulating on cd16 the last 2 months. He told us to bd every other day starting Friday (which to me is weird if he thinks I'll ovulate Saturday). Dh did have his SA done today and we both need to get bloodwork. Mine was 12 vials of blood and he hasn't been able to go for his yet....he will most likely go tomorrow. So we get results next Thursday and will go from there.

Good luck to you!

OK so I guess I'm keeping a little hope alive. . . We went to a sushi place last night for dinner and I had a cooked tempura platter as opposed to my usual dragon roll. I'll test again on Friday but I still have the taunting AF symptoms that she is on her way for a visit Witch. . .

it might not be over. PMS and pregnancy symptoms are very similar, especially the **** thing!

Thanks here's hoping.

The Appt. did not go well at all I went in and had 2 follicles one was 47mm and the other was 57mm. They think these are old and that the provera did not work and this cycle is a bust. They did blood work and if they are good they will do an IVF cycle instead. I am not sure what I want to do right now. I'm exhausted and everytime I go in the news is worse. I think if they come back bad then I am taking a few months off. Remember the God discussion well if this isn't him telling me things are not right then I don't what it is. My body is working backwards.

Here's to hoping your blood work is good. Maybe God is telling you to just go to IVF? I'm so sorry. It really is hard to be hopeful and not angry all of the time when you're knee deep in bad news.

Hi girls well they called and want me to trigger tonight. Which I am NOT happy about because this means AF will be here for Disney.

Does anyone have any experience how long it takes AF to show after you trigger?

What kind of trigger is this? Are they setting you up then for IVF this cycle? How many more days til your trip?

No they are going to do an hcg trigger to release the eggs because they are not releasing with the provera or on their own. I only have one good follicle it's 25 mm. So this whole cycle is a bust. I can trigger as soon as tomorrow or Wait. We leave in 9 days so I was going to trigger when we leave Assuming it would take 2 weeks for ad to show

Well...personally for me, after i was triggered with the hcg, I ended up 5 days late for my period. But this could also be caused by being on the clomid

 

[skuttle]

Whenever I triggered, AF always arrived about 2 weeks after. I hope the timing works out for you!! Every month that AF arrives, I always check to see how things are scheduled to fall for our upcoming trip. So far I'm still in the clear!

 

[Kronk's girl]

Aw sorry Soontobewed. AF joined me on our last two vacations, and they were both beach/bikini vacations .

Well I just wanted to check in with everyone. I still have about 11 more days in my TWW and I really just want to know either way this time so that I can get my allergy medication and get ready to take a break for a month... or not! I have to admit that it will be a little bit of a relief to have a break and not have to worry about it. We'll see I guess.

Crossing my fingers that someone announces a BFP really soon!!

I have resumed pretzel status for you! Everything is crossed!

 

[cherbear]

Okay, only you ladies will laugh with me on this one...

Yesterday morning I was a little crampy (but I did decide to start doing sit-ups this weekend, so it could have been from that, haha), but anyway- even though it was a little early for me to ovulate I took out a test strip and of course while waiting for the results I dropped it in the toilet!!!

So I was mad at myself for wasting a stick and threw it out and went on with my day assuming I probably wasn't ovulating. Last night I go to throw something in the garbage and I see my stick sitting in there with two dark lines! So was that positive from the toilet water or me? Panic!! I test again and get a negative. So I guess I wasn't ovulating...but I guess it's true there must really be something in the water!

wow, how negative was your second test? Could you have had a quick surge? That's a funny story either way..

OK so I've been putting this off all day as I didn't want to actually have to type it.

BFN

B00bs started hurting yesterday and I know the signs. So I said s(rew it and tested last night. I am heart broken. . . We both cried. To be honest I miss my babies that never were. . . I was so sure! I so thought that this was it. I really did. . . I even, against better judgement, started making plans in my head, dumba$$. (I hope I don't get dinged for that. Sorry mods!)

I'm sorry that I didn't bring better news. I really am. . .

shoot!! I really hope it was just too early. Did you test again today?

Thanks for all your support my ladies! Went out last night with Mike, Meg & CB for Fat Tuesday so it was good that I couldn't sit home and think and miss that joyful feeling I had last week. I spoke to my diabetic endocronologist yesterday and I am going to go in and have them run a thyroid again and see how that is since I've heard that can effect things. I am on synthroid and thought I was good to go but I'm always on a balance with it. I also called the RE office and I am waiting for them to call me back. My 2ww is not over until Sunday but I know the signs that AF is looming and I feel them all. Mood and b00bs don't lie so that's why I tested. Mike wants me to ask about IVF with Dr. K. He's all about let's cut to the chase. As with a few of us our age is also a factor here. So now I hurry up and wait for my RE's office to call, mean while the boss is about to blow a gasget, which although not my fault I will feel the remnints of and I need to organize a huge meeting for the end of next month and work with Alcohol side of the govt. to get a label approved in the next week and I'm hoping they see my side. So I have lots to keep me occupied until the weekend.

Thanks again for being there and your kind words! They are a great comfort and as I've said before I'm so grateful that you are all in my life

glad you have some things to keep you busy. Hope you get a BFP in the meantime!

geez, what luck! I hope that BFP's coming soon for ya!

Mine was 12 vials of blood and he hasn't been able to go for his yet....he will most likely go tomorrow. So we get results next Thursday and will go from there.

wow, I thought my 7 vials (my first appt) was a lot. Praying for good results!!!

OK so I guess I'm keeping a little hope alive. . . We went to a sushi place last night for dinner and I had a cooked tempura platter as opposed to my usual dragon roll. I'll test again on Friday but I still have the taunting AF symptoms that she is on her way for a visit Witch. . .

I completely don't blame you, I'd probably do the same! It's always good to have a bit of hope.

Thanks here's hoping.

wow, that seems really big! you meant millimeters right? I thought follicles could not get that big?

Hi girls well they called and want me to trigger tonight. Which I am NOT happy about because this means AF will be here for Disney.

well, hopefully you WON'T get AF at all for at least 9 months.

Rachel I love what you said about the healing!! Totally on point, and totally awesome.

Tonight we are ordering our donor vial for IUI #3 -- hopefully the last one I have to order for a long time.

Monday is my u/s and b/w and hopefully I will be able to trigger Monday night and then IUI Wednesday. Crossing my fingers and saying a prayer!

Esbrick - Have you tested again?? Anything??? Hoping for a surprise for you.

 

[soontobewed07]

Cherbear- Good Luck and fingers and toes crossed for you.
And Yup I meant mm they are HUGE 2months old and are not producing any hormones so they are no good. I only have one good follicle that is 25mm so they are hoping if I trigger it will release the old ones and I can start fresh.

I can trigger when I want to so I am going to trigger the Saturday we leave for Disney. That way I won't have AF for the 3rd time this month and I can have an AF vacation.

Good luck to everyone! Babydust!

 

[Kennywife]

OK, so still no AF. I still have back pain and moodiness. Yesterday, hubby and I bd-ed again and today, I'm having a pretty bad bad ache, like PMS, but not. I'm gonna test again next week. If I still don't get a reading and no period, I'm gonna see the dx.

Fingers crossed!

Good luck to all who are prepping for shots, IUI, IVF or just hoping for some magic.

As for me, AF arrived. I was spotting a bit on Thursday and Friday so I called RE's office. Today it's AF. I'm actually ok. Was sad but no tears since it was a long shot.

Monday I got for day 3 bloodwork which is a good thing because I'll finally get confirmation of a diagonosis soon.

I'm still holding out for a BFP for one of you this month!
