Hi Ladies! I read all the posts but lately, have been in too much of a ugh mood to respond.

I got my levels back from my 21 day prolactin level. It was a 13.2. So, I did indeed ovulate. I was a bit miffed bc when I first called today they said my progesterone level was 13.5...they weren't even checking progesterone! It's a good thing I signed a medical release form and could call the lab directly for the info...

Angel- CONGRATS on the + OPK. That is very exciting.

Jac 1019- This is your month! I am looking forward to hearing your good news. I need a little positive right now :)

Chocolate lady: Yea for actually oing!

O-Baby: Have you thought of using grapefruit juice? I just read something about soy helping too?
I know how miserable it is not to even ovulate. Hang in there it WILL happen!

Taz: It sounds like O pain to me. Mine was so bad DH just sat on the bed and rubbed my back while I cried!..ouch!!!

AFM:
I'm annoyed. My back is hurting, I'm all stuffy with a runny nose, and I have the worst headaches. I am 10dpo and I got a BFN today when I tested. No sore breasts or anything. I am now just going to wait for AF to come this weekend and try again. I think the clomid played a little number in my system. I'm tired and depressed now. I didn't have any side effects when I took it. Just during O and now. I'm a little irritated. At least I know I did ovulate for the first time in 4 years! There is my silver lining.

O-baby – I’m so so sorry! Its tough going through so many rounds of clomid. My temps are STILL low so I don’t know when I’ll ovulate… but I hope my doc does an u/s today to see if there is a follicle or if maybe its happened during today. I hope 2 nights of BD prior to ovulation is enough cause if it happens today I wont get a chance to bd. Also gonna ask about metformin but he’ll prob put me on 500mg first.

TazynsMommy – its good to have a 2ww buddy ? I have run out of opk’s now so dunno if it was still + last night… but I don’t think I’ve ovulated yet, or I have a slow rise in temp maybe, will make sure my doc does an u/s today!!!

Bostonmommy – I also don’t think they want it as much as us… I think being a mother and carrying a child is a bit different to being a dad

Tiffers – maybe its too early to tests… there’s still hope!

Just got back from my appointment. He did an u/s, have one 19mm follicle. He says I'm very ready to ovulate, but said we need to bd tomm night, tonight not necessary.. as I mentioned we had a romantic eve planned tomm.. he said it wont be too late as the follicle size shows i will ovulate in about 24 hours, but wont it be too late by tomm night, its now afternoon here.

Also going for insulin fasting blood test on sat, he wont give me metformin unless he thinks its necessary.

And told me to stop taking temps! he says its confusing, makes you obsess and think too much and is not always accurate... so now I dont know what to do :-s I know I wont get to BD tonight but I hope after our romantic eve tomm is not too late. He also said the sperm can only live 36hours, so from yesterday till tomm night wont be long enough... Am taking a month off clomid to see what happens, he says he gets alot of pregnancies in the month off, as many as the months on.

And yes, I'm overthinking everything again :(

O-Baby: I am sorry that you didn't ovulate. Seriously, I feel for you for several reasons. One, you wanted it; two, you are just so thoughtful in your posts, always responding to everyone... I just want the karma gods to work their positive vibes in your favor! You deserve it! Let's keep out fingers crossed for next month, and I am totally thinking of you.

Tiffers- thanks for the encouragement! I hope it is your month. Congratulations on ovulating :) If AF doesn't arrive in a few days, take another test... 10 days dpo is ver early, and often will render negative results for those who are pg. Even if you are not pg, this month marks the start of a new turn in your reproductive health.

Bostonmommy: what kind of suppositories are you taking? The 2ww is awful and nerve-wrecking! Keep busy, and good luck ;)

AFM, I will have more news tomorrow after my ultrasound and blood tests. My doctor will check how many follies I am producing and will predict my ovulation date based on that and my blood tests. That prediction will determine when I next IUI is.

Morning ladies, or whatever time it is for you!
Obaby, I'm sorry you didn't o. Do they know why and have you thought of any other option other than clomid? Maybe you need something stronger?

Jac my cycles have moved forward. I think we will be tww together again!
I had my tubes flushed yesterday. It wasn't pleasant. :( but done now and there was def no obstruction. So I went back to the docs. They did a blood test and gave me the trigger to take home. During the internal before the procedure they said I have one 17 folli on the right and a 16 on the left. My left had 19 small ones too and the right had 9.
Bloods came back and my estrogen was as high yesterday as it was the day before trigger last month, so I'm using the trigger tomorrow and will probably o on Saturday.
I'm still struggling to be honest, I feel like a baby is getting further and further away. Doc has said after this month we need to look at iui and ivf.
Good luck ladies, I could use some positive news!

Good morning all, how are you?

I'm a bit annoyed with my doc i saw yesterday... he told me to bd tonight and its not necessary last night as my follicle was only 19mm and it would still be over 24hours.. well my temps are up this morning, so i didn't bd last night and now i feel i missed the opportunity, although i did bd the night before.... will still have our romantic date night last night but still makes a bit sad and frustrated... so seems i'm in the 2ww.... gonna try and relax.

have a great day all!
