Hi ladies! KJ--if you do test on Christmas Day, & I can certainly understand your temptation, just remember if you do get that BFN it may just be too early. A BFP would be a lovely
Christmas present though, wouldn't it?
Kotkot--Your prog level is close to the level that's supposed to indicate ovulation. I've read condictory info on that too, some places say level 5 & above and others say level 10 & above. As hard as it is, I'd wait & see what the dr says. What CD are you on now? Hang in there. Hi Christina. What CD are you on now? I'm guessing you're in the dreaded 2 WW now? I finish my 5th round of Clomid tonight. What mgs are you on? Are you doing IUI with the Clomid? Good luck!

hey mega.. thanbks for replying. well i am also not that sure and i will try to rely 100% on the doctor's opinion .. i will scheduale the appointment as my AF shows up so it will be a double check for the prgestrone test and my next step decision. i am tired of explaining every single thing and i am just trying to have the doctor in charge of everything. it is hard especially for educated women like us .. just to be relieved from the knowledge cuiriosity. anyways , i will be checking the forum every day . i am now on cd25 ... cant guess when the witch will be arriving as its anon clomid cycle.wish u luck on the fifth cycle .. u must be cd7 or cd6 .. keep us posted with 150mg results!!!

Thanks Kotkot, I will keep you posted. I am on CD 8, last day of Clomid. Now I just have to wait til Thurs. to find out how the follies are growing. Waiting for AF to show on her own is tough. I hope the witch doesn't make you wait too long. Hang in there! Keep me posted too on AF's progress & your follow up dr's appt.

Mega - I also have an u/s on Thursday to find out how many follies I have. Then hopefully IUI's on Friday and Saturday.

hey girls .. wish u lusk on ur appointments .. i am longing to hear the new cycle news from both of you. for me nothing new sticking here waitting for the witch to arrive... so i can reserve an appointment with my doctor. baby dust to u all

Good morning ladies. LSB--good luck at your u/s appt. on Thursday. So your dr's office is open on Dec. 24th? My office is closed on Friday thru Sunday this weekend, for the holidays. Fortunately, my follies are very slow growers so that shut down shouldn't interefere with my ovulation schedule. Fingers crossed! Good luck with the IUIs too. How many prior IUIs have you had? Kotkot--hang in there. I hate the wait for AF too, it's tough when all you want is to start another cycle of drugs. Have a good day!

Mega - yes, our Dr.'s office is open until 6 pm on the 24th and then closed for Christmas. I have only had one IUI. This is actually my second time but, the first time having two consecutive IUIs. How many have you had so far?

Hi LSB! That's a good schedule, fortunately it doesn't sound like the shut down will affect your Ov cycle. I'll be interested in hearing how the 2 consectutive IUIs work for you this cycle. Some studies suggest that's pretty effective at increasing pregnancy rates. I just do 1 IUI per cycle, this will be my 3rd IUI. I just bumped up to 150 mgs of Clomid & the estrogen patch this time though, so maybe that'll be better.

Well, I had a great doctor visit!!! 3 follicles 19.6, 18.3 (on the right) and 17.4 (on the left) Wahooh!! My best ever!! I am having IUI on 23rd and 24th. I am going to keep praying that this month is "the" month!!! How is everyone else doing?

Yay! I'm so happy for you, LSB. Those are big ole' follies! How exciting. Your chances are excellent this go round. I'll send you lots of baby dust on the 23rd & 24th. I had a good u/s appt. today, too. Two follies this time (usually I only have 1), they're still kind of small, 11 mm each, but that's good b/c the shut down won't affect my ovulation schedule. I have another u/s on Monday & the dr suspects I'll then be ready to trigger that night & have the IUI on Wednesday, Dec. 28th. Perfect! Oh, and both follies were on my left side, this is the first time I've had any follicles on that side since we've been monitoring via u/s. I was begining to fear my left side didn't work. :) I start the estrogen patches tomorrow. To help with the lining. Do you know anything about them? This is my first cycle using them. I'm just curious.

Alright Mega!!! Good news all around - sending baby dust right back at you too!! Having the 2 follies on the right was a first for me, the last two times I also only had one and both times it was the left side! Maybe that means something good for both of us!!! I know nothing about the estrogen patch. Fortunately I have had no lining problems for some time. About 7 or so years ago when we were trying to conceive, my lining was always a mess, I had to have several biopsys and D & C's to rule out uterine cancer. But for some reason, I now have NO female problems except for the age of my eggs... I am 43. Well I gotta run for now, I cracked a tooth on a piece of gum, if you can believe that one, so I have to go to the dentist a 1:00. Take care!!!!

hey girls! seems to be aperfect cycle for both of you .. hope that this will be the month for you .. we really deserve it after being such patient ladies! for me nothing new , struggling with the silent fertility thoughts every single day.. i just cant stop myself thinking and thinking .. my DH starts to be interested in this issue ,, he may finally notives that we have a problem over here ( men usually tend to be optimistic! arent they?) allright.. i just have to tell u this .. this whole thing is changing the way iam looking at myself believe it or not i feel that i lack feminity and i am akind of handicapped to do all what other ordinary women do. i used to have that terrific record on everything .. school.. social works and anything i stuck my nose in and here we are facing the uncontrobally issue that start ruining my life. i never though that i will be envying others for having kids!!! that sounds to be really really ridiculas in the past . anyways, back on to the reality .. i just have strong signs of AF it is CD 27 and due to the scheduale i have to get my AF by tomorrow as i got the hsg shot on CD13 .. i am sick with dates calculation. i will be telling you the news .. i am longing to hear from my doctor about what will be doing next . he said to me that if AF shows up he needs to see me with AF there maybe to scan the condition of may ovaries at this stage .. well girlls i am sick of that .. we have already paid for the expenses of a 6year old kid!!! i will make sure to let the kid - if i am supposed to have one- to pay back everything!!! anyway ladies .. hang on there iam really happy to have you ..

Yikes. Sorry about your tooth. Mouth pain is the worst. Good luck at the dentist. Thanks for the baby dust. Hopefully we can become pregnancy buddies this cycle. It is encouraging that you're Ov on your right side this cycle. I hope you're right about that being a good sign. Could be. I'll be eager to hear how your IUI goes tomorrow. :)

hey mega.. seems that you are online!!! hope to hear good news this cycle .. i really think that you have as twice the chance this cycle .. having twins is just perfect .. i also would prefear atriples just to make the long story short. wish u all the luck

Thanks Kotkot! Has AF come yet for you? Hope the witch doesn't make you wait too long. Happy holidays!

Hi ladies! How is everyone tonight? We had our first IUI for this cycle and things went great. Hubbies counts were 10 million with 98% motility after washing!! Now one more to go for this cycle. Well, I hope everyone else is doing good!!
