Thanks Bluebird. I am really disappointed. Why can’t my body cooperate?

Pee on all the things tomorrow obscureference! When do you plan on testing Bluebird? I always tell myself that I’m going to wait until at least 12DPO, but I don’t think I’ve ever lasted that long. I have no willpower.

I woke up really feeling like AF was going to arrive any minute so I decided to not test today. Maybe tomorrow or later today. FX for you Bluebird!!

CD3 over here, there was a mix up in my notes and the nurse at my RE's office wasn't sure what to do regarding this cycle. My actual RE called this morning (love her) and we sorted it out. Onto IUI #2, starting Letrozole/Femara today! FX we can get the preauthorization sorted out with my insurance before my u/s on cd12 so that they'll cover something.

I’m glad you talked to your actual RE charliefox. I hope the PA comes through in time!

AF arrived last night. After an excruciating 17 day LP. Way to mess with my mind, body. Debating taking a break from the meds after this next cycle so I can chill out a little over the summer.

Just curious, for those who have taken Femara/Letrozole or Clomid, how many follicles do you usually have?
We’re doing Letrozole this cycle (5mg) and I ovulate on my own. I’m really hoping for 2 follicles and am freaked out there might be more.

charliefox I’m the exception to the rule here, but I’ve never had any follicles solely on Femara.

So I don’t follow “normal” rules I guess, per my RE. I do ovulate on my own. Femara helps me ovulate only a few days earlier though. Instead of ovulating on CD42-ish, I would ovulate around CD39-ish. All 3 of my sole Femara + TI attempts were cancelled due to my poor response.

charliefox The only cycle that I did midcycle monitoring I had 4. But that’s what they are trying to do for me due to age. More targets, as my RE says. I do ovulate on my own without meds.

CD1 here. Boo. First time I've been sad instead of just disappointed, you know?
Anyway, off to the races with IUI #2. I'll have another ultrasound tomorrow or Thursday and then start another round of Femara.

I’m sorry Bluebird. Did your LP lengthen at all on the meds?

I’m sorry Bluebird . Did your LP lengthen at all on the meds? Yes, that part is better news! I had a 12 day LP this time, which is the longest I've ever had.

Ugh, Bluebird, I'm so sorry. FX IUI#2 works for both of us. Oh, and that's crazy you O on your own and only have 1 on Femara, does it change anything for you? Does it improve size or quality? orangehibiscus, wow. I guess only having 1 follicle on Femara is more common than I thought. Now I have something else to worry about obscureference, holy crap, 4?! I would freak but I totally get the idea of more targets.

It made me O about 3 days earlier than usual. I generally O on about CD 20 and did on CD 17 with Femara. I don't know how that affected size or quality.

I’m really hoping for 2 follicles and am freaked out there might be more. Grad/TW** We did three IUIs with Clomid (low dose, only 2 days though) and I had two each cycle IIRC, one kind of lead-one each time and another on the same side that wasn't far behind. My RE would cancel the IUI if there were more than three. I ovulated on my own before that but apparently the thought was I had a 'weak ovulation. 🤷

Sorry to give you another thing to worry about charliefox. Like I said though...I don’t follow the rules, so I’m sure you’ll be fine!

Saw the RE yesterday and we are upping my dose of Femara to 7.5 mg this round. She is hoping for more than one follicle this time and wants to do the IUI same day if I get a morning OPK+ again.
