re: *OFFICIAL* Fertility Treatment Thread (Clomid, IVF, IUI)

Follicle is 19mm!!!!   Haven't scheduled IUI yet. RE wants me to come in for MORE blood work tomorrow am (my poor arms!)

I'm glad they are being so thorough with all the testing, to make sure they have pinpointed my ovulation. Gives us more a chance I feel.

Yay!! Sounds like awesome news! I have an appt tomorrow morning too!  

How long did it take you to get to the main office? I think we will have to go there next weekend for monitoring. Plus our transfer & retrieval will be done there. My husband is already bitching about the drive lol ugh men!

What's your appointment for?

The drive actually wasn't bad at all. It's about 30-40 minutes, and it's straight on mass pike. Super easy!!! A little traffic if its during morning rush hour. But DH was complaining too, but now that we've been there twice, he's okay with it.

It's for an ultrasound & blood work to check if I'm ready to move onto the stim injections. Is it sad that I'm excited?! Lol

Oh that's not bad!! Is the office big? In the pictures it seems to be huge lol

Maybe I'll run into you!!!

Yeah it's really big!

Yea so AF is lasting forever...which I expected after 160 days without. But it has an orangish red color to it? I keep seeing anemia but how would that cause that?? Anyone ever have this?

I would ask my doctor about that. I'm not sure what could make it orangish.

It sounds like you have a good RE!!! Yay for a 19mm follicle, I bet this cycle is it for you!

I haven't been in here in a while.

As most of you know I got my BFP last night. I was very upset with our failed IUI in December, I was upset about DH being diagnosed with a varicose vein on his testicle; I was upset that he needed surgery. I got the idea from this thread to make a TTC bucket list, this morning I was suppose to start Turbo Fire. I'm still in shock about the BFP. I ended up ovulating on CD45 on January 28th. Leading up to ovulation and ovulation day DH and I BD'ed 3 times a day every day. I had no idea I'd ovulate on CD45. We just BD'ed a lot because DHs surgery was set up for February 1st and we knew we couldn't have sex for a couple weeks. The day I got my positive OPK I said to DH "watch, I'll get pregnant from this and your surgery will be for nothing." Apparently I was right because I'm pregnant.

I hope this gives everybody some hope. I didn't take clomid I didn't do IUI. We were told that IVF was our only hope at getting pregnant since we had 3 failed IUIs.

Anya, I am so over the moon excited and happy for you!!!!!!   it's such a great feeling to see a BFP in this thread! Wishing you a happy and healthy 9 months!!!

Love the due date!!!! Hopefully I'm not too far behind you! ;)

UGH!!! Waiting for CD1 after my progesterone injection last Tuesday... The second day in a row (last night and this am) I've had bright red bleeding for just a little while then it stops! I really wish my body would quit being such a pain in the ass!

I'm so, so happy for you! I knew you were really down about the last failed IUI and figured you were probably staying away because of it.

We got a natural miracle BFP once so I never give up hope completely that it can happen. You are definitely further proof of that.

Mine is too. I'm STILL waiting to ovulate after my miscarriage in December.

That's awesome. DH and I have decided to do ivf too but not sure when we can afford it cause wed rather get out credit cards paid off first. We had 5 failed IUIs and a year ago decided to adopt. Our DD was born in May and we started TTC again when she was 3 months old. I know it is not impossible for me to conceive bc I ovulate very regularly and I can even feel it. The only probl is I can't afford to put my body through the pain of my endometriosis every month and having yearly surgeries. I went to the hospital this cycle and finally found a pain killer that works for me. I already have my surgery scheduled for next week but it wasn't soon enough.

I hope nobody gives up hope. With DH's sperm count and motility we were told IVF was our only option. I sent in a question to Attain Fertility on Facebook.. One lady told me to start IVF right away because the surgery didn't work for her husband. I thought for sure we'd need IVF..

I can't stop testing because this doesn't seem real. With my miscarriages that I got pregnant with naturally the lines on my tests were never this dark.
