That doesn't sound fun at all! Glad to hear you got it figured out and are on the mend!

Saw my Dr. yesterday and had my U/S this AM. Dr suggested we move on to IVF like I knew he was going to tell us. We went over costs etc and it is going to be a lot of money... Which i knew but seeing it on paper is a whole different story! So we are looking at about $12,000 for one round which doesn't include gas to drive an hour away each time for appts. We have to take a 2.4 hour IVF class before I even meet to get a date set up. Aprils is already full and Mays is close to full. They don't have any guarntee program so if the $12,000 1st round isn't successful and we don't have any eggs left after we need to pay $12,000 all over again if we want to do another round. Plus right now our insurance will pay ZERO.. We did look into haveing me on two policies as DH's insurance is good for pregnancy and mine is good for infertility but we would have to wait until 2014 to get on my plan again...

U/S went good. I have 3 mature or maturing follicles. One was at 25mm so that is good. I will trigger tomorrow AM and through Sunday night. My lining is ok but she upped my estrogen dose for 5 days just to make sure. So now I take 4mg of estrogen daily. Oh the joys!

@Dolphin, maybe this will be your month!

AF came a week late! On to the next cycle ...can't wait to use my clear blue advanced digital opks...if that doesn't help I'm going to just take a break from the whole TTC it's just to stressful...

Katie
Sorry to hear AF showed! Good luck this cycle!

I really do hope this is my month! But we shall see!!

Well I took my HCG shot on Friday AM. I had pain in my ovaries Thursday till Saturday with Sat being true O pains. So I was pretty sure I had O'ed on Satuday but there was no big shift in my temp since Friday AM before I even took the shot?!? So I went from 98 on Thursday AM to 98.2 on Friday AM. So that isn't even a big shift... Now I am really confused?!? Last two days I have been at 98.3. Kinda upsets me as I have always had a clear shift while on medicated cycles. Don't know what is going on!

Dolphin-
Any bigger shifts yet? I've heard sometimes it can take a little longer for temps to rise. I'd listen to your body.

Got a BFN this morning. One more cycle and I'm going to get an appointment with a fertility specialist. I was just really hoping it would just happen. Sigh. Maybe ill ask to test fsh this cycle. My progesterone was borderline and my dh has a slightly off morphology but we haven't found any actual answers yet. I'm so hesitant to do anything. I'm still a romantic...

Somebody needs a BFP this month!

I will be praying for you that this cycle is the one and you won't have to mess with the infertility treatments! They are not fun!!

Ok so what do you ladies think... My body and the HCG shot all point towards Saturday Ovulation. But my temps rise slowly from Friday to Today. Anyone wanna take a look at my chart on my page and let me know what you think. My Friday temp could be a little off as I adjusted it due to waking up early. I just don't know what to make of this as I have never had this happen on a medicated cycle before.

Hi ladies!! I've been quiet lately I was taking a small break from over thinking the ttc stuff... Disneyland was awesome and We had a little party for my little angel's first birthday in heaven :)

Af came and went and now I'm in the 2ww.... AF or positve in approximately 4 days :) FX for BFP!!!
to all you lovely ladies

@Aleerph, I hear that Fertilaid for Men works great on men with semen issues.. Just a thought, try that for a couple cycles and see what happens. Do you have regular cycles? How long have you been trying?

@dolphin, CTP didn't notice a shift in my temps last month either. How long are your cycles usually? It looks like you may have, I would see what your temps do over the next couple days.

@According, good luck Honey!

CTP doesn't normally see a shift in my charts either but every time the fertility friend does :) so if it's not picking it up i just pop them into FF.
