LSchrader - Thank you for that reply it actually made me feel better. I work in an office of men so it's possible that they wouldn't really want to hear about my infertility. on the flip side I had to tell the medical staff that we're involved with for insurance and if something happens to me. I hesitate to tell the guys in my office partly because I'm the only woman and partly because they have no concept of infertility as they've all been able to successfull have kids without much trying. I don't normally feel embarassed or ashamed of my diagnoses. It's more just a fact of life but I felt very awkward trying to talk to anyone who is related to my work about it.

AdamsWife - I know from my own cycles that they fluctuate by a few days every cycle. I'm certain that if they're monitoring you, you should be fairly close on to when you O.

TTC - I've told my supervisor that I'll be having a doctors appointment someime at the end of the month but I don't know when yet. He didn't ask for an explanation either so it's a bit odd. I hope this Cycle works out for me and I'm so excited for your results tomorow.

While - I'm happy you boss is so understanding. He sounds great to work for. Thats an awesome price for the IUI. I hope you caught the eggy this month.

The HR department at my employer knows why I'm gone but otherwise my supervisor only knows that I'm on leave. We haven't told anyone else, mainly because I don't want to have to tell ppl the positive or negative news. That feels like pressure to me. People are so gossipy at my work, I can only imagine what they are saying is the reason I'm away. Ugh. I'm on day 5 of injections- the clinic called me in for an unscheduled ultrasound today because my e2 levels were 800 yesterday and they should have been between 300-500. But it turns out that all is well- I'm just a little ahead of schedule. She saw 7 follicles in each ovary so I guess that's a good start!

Lshrader, good luck dear, i hope the best!
Lulu, i am so sorry for the loss. Best luck fot your next tries.
Since i started clomid, ovulation is exactly on 15th day. My doctor told me that the same days she finds the same follicle size!
As about telling to other people, at work my supervisor knows as i want her to protect me from too much stress.
My good friends and close family also know. I feel nice when i share things. Sometimes i regret it but most of the times i feel better. There is one relative that passes the same and she always tell me pessimistic things. I have regretted that she knows and unfortunately last year when i got pregnant, she was like being jealous and not much supportive.

Hi Ladies, Just checking in and wanted your warm wishes and good thoughts for the next couple of days. I think labor has begun. Yay, exciting, but also terrifying. I had a planned C-section with my first (he was breech) and then 2.5years of TTC the second. We had one MC at 15wks and got this BFP with our 6th IUI. Our due date is tomorrow, so this baby may be right on time.

I'll save you the gory details, but I went through the hardest part of my life with you ladies and I just wanted to say thank you for the support one more time as I head into the home stretch. I still stalk you all to keep up with your journeys and keep my fingers crossed for every one of you to get that BFP we all dream about.

Thanks ladies, I'll update after. Probably not for a few days.

Good luck to everyone!!

@basia-Did you get your progesterone checked the day after your triggered?? Mine jumped up to 7.5 from 1! It must be from my trigger. No clue if this is good or bad :-/

Txk!!!!!!!! Oh how exciting. Can't wait to hear the good news. Oh lsh thank you for the support.

@Browni - I feel what you are saying about the pressure. Pressure to have to say whether it worked or not, etc.

~K

LS - mine went up also from 0.8 to 5.0

@basia-Ok, thank you!
