I've decided not to temp this cycle which feels so strange. My RE has asked me not to do OPKs, so I'm just hanging out, injecting myself with medicines and having sex for fun. US is tomorrow!

Had my US today. The good news is that right ovary is doing better than the left. The not great news is that I don't have any follicles that are that big. The biggest one is on my right ovary, and it measures 14x11mm. RE wants 18mm average to trigger. I have a couple other follicles on the right that are 10x10mm. I have 1 on the left that is 10x10. Everything else is tiny.
I haven't heard from my RE yet, but I imagine that I'll have to do more shots over the weekend and have another US on Monday. We'll see though.

So I heard from the RE. I'll do Follistim over the weekend and have another US on Monday. Hopefully I will be able to trigger then!

orangehibiscus woohoo! Sex for fun is the best way. Also on injects my hormones were in a very happy horny place, I hope yours are too! I looove your follie sizes, it sounds like you are in the perfect spot to get three or four mature follicles. FX!

I looove your follie sizes, it sounds like you are in the perfect spot to get three or four mature follicles. FX! Thanks! I'm pretty much always horny, meds or not! I would love to have more than 1 mature follicle for trigger. I had 3 last time, so more than 1 would make me feel a lot better about our chances this cycle. I saw your update on your BMB, and I'm so happy for you! That is a great doubling time. Are you doing another beta?

Well I have no idea what’s going on with this cycle because I’m not doing OPKs. I don’t feel like I’ve o’d yet, but I didn’t feel my normal O pains last cycle either and I definitely o’d. I’m trying to just trust the meds - they’ve worked the last two cycles, but I’m sure I’m going to be crazy at the end of this cycle. No idea when I should test this time!

orangehibiscus Thanks! Repeat beta is Tuesday. It feels like a long wait but we are really enjoying each moment.

librariangirl, I was kind upset so I guess I forgot to post an update - thanks for checking on me! My cycle check wasn't great - my RE said I was an enigma. Anyway it was CD 60-something, my lining was thick and I had one good sized follicle but they weren't sure if I had O'd yet. We were hoping I had O'd and was just about to start AF...but progesterone came back at ZERO. Soooooo, now I'm on Provera. 12 days of Provera then I have to track next cycle and cross all the things that it's normal, otherwise I'll call back on CD35 and they'll start me on BC. I'm really upset by all this. The loss was enough of a punch in the gut now my body isn't doing what it's supposed to and I'm just angry. I have almost FOUR YEARS of charts and I've O'd every single time but this time my body decides it's not going to follow the plan. Annoyed that treatments have gotten pushed back at least another 40+ days and possible months more. Blarg.

charliefox I’m so sorry you didn’t have s good check. 😣 I hope the Provera helps your body regulate itself back to normal. Hugs girl!

That's frustrating that you aren't sure what's going on obscureference, but trust the meds! If they've worked the last 2 times, then they'll most likely word this time too. I know that's easier said than to believe. Does your RE have any guidance on when to test? FX for you sunshiney! Ugh...sorry charliefox! Why is BC the answer if you have to call on CD35? I hate that you are going through this. A loss is bad enough! I hope your cycle cooperates. Sometimes things get messed up after a loss. I still have my question above about BC. Why can't you do Provera and go straight into a treatment cycle? No matter what, all the hugs girl!

charliefox I'm sorry, that is sooo frustrating! FX that Provera brings on a normal cycle again for you.

I had my second monitoring US today. I still only have the 1 follicle, but it now measures 21x18.9mm. Nothing else even really got bigger. I'm going to trigger tonight! I'm so thankful that my right ovary has the bigger follicle. I was worried that the left would ruin this cycle for us.

Thank you obscureference! Now I'm debating on whether to test out my trigger or not. I did it last time because it was the first time. This is a different kind of trigger shot than I used last time though. What do y'all do?

orangehibiscus I haven’t used a trigger yet, but I would probably not test it out. I’m pretty good at not testing early though. If you tend to test early, I would test it out so there’s no chance of seeing a false positive!

If you tend to test early, I would test it out so there’s no chance of seeing a false positive! I have always been an early tester. Partly because my LP is only about 12 days and partly because I was just so excited to find out if I was KU. Testing early now makes me feel hesitant, a little gun shy I guess, based on my past experiences. I just want to test and see either no line at all or a dark line. However, I did test it this morning, and it was SO much darker than my morning after line with the last trigger. Maybe it will stick around longer? I don't know. I think I will test it out, but not everyday. I still like to pee on things though. I probably won't test for another few days or about a week.

My guess is that our plan is to start with a "natural" IUI with trigger so if my body isn't gearing up to O on it's own then we'd just be wasting money on ultrasounds? Not sure. So the RE (according to the NP I talked to) wants me to hopefully have a regular cycle on my own and if my body isn't getting back to normal than they would try to reset it with the birth control? Again, I don't know. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

I ask because if your body isn't cycling normally, then does it make sense to do a non-medicated IUI (except trigger??)? If I remember correctly, weren't you on BCP before to try to reset your cycles and it didn't work? I might be thinking of someone else though. I guess why a natural IUI instead of medicated IUI? I hate that your body isn't cooperating like it should! All the hugs girl!

I hate that your body isn't cooperating like it should! All the hugs girl! So the original plan was a non-medicated IUI with trigger (just to makes sure timing is perfect since I sometimes O 1-3 days after my first positive OPK)...then I got pregnant on cycle 14. After my loss, my RE jumped into wanting to start a medicated IUI and I'm just not ready for that. H and I discussed it and we decided that doing at least 1 non-medicated IUI would help relieve the stress of possible multiples with something like Clomid. My cycles have always been "regular", I have almost 4 years of charts where I've O'd every time (anywhere form CD13-18) so it's odd and frustrating that my body didn't reset itself after this loss. Anyway, that's why we were going to try a natural IUI instead of a medicated IUI, at least once.

Sorry you're feeling PMS-y obscureference. Are you planning on testing or just waiting to see if CD1 comes?
