Welcome lakesidelady45! I hope your stay here is short. The meds make me grumpy. Like they give me a short fuse or something and make me irritable.

Had a saline ultrasound today and all looks good, that was the last test before we are cleared for IVF. Need to call the coordinator tomorrow and get a preliminary schedule set up. H is OOT until Sept 1st so we'll plan for retrieval that first week. Not looking forward to doing all the injections and dealing with everything myself, boooo.

I’m glad you’re moving forward charliefox. I’ll be stalking the IVF thread for sure!

As far as I can tell, I still haven’t ovulated yet. Cd24 today. So frustrated and ready to give up.

Tested out the trigger shot. Now to decide if I want to test before beta or not. Beta's scheduled for the 23rd.

That's what I'm thinking, esp since I have to work that day.
And last night got the heads up that my good friend is pregnant with an oops. I love her, and she went through IF with her first, but man, she's been saying since he was born that she wants at least three years in between.

Sorry I’ve been MIA! I’ve been out of town. Welcome lakesidelady45! How are you feeling? My meds don’t typically make me moody (I don’t think!). I’m on Femara, Follistim, and trigger (Pregnyl).

Best of luck with IVF charliefox! Did you O yet obscureference?? Are you planning on testing before beta grover? AFM... Possible TW, maybe, not sure Today I’m 8DPO/10DPT, and I tested to make sure my trigger was gone. I got a faint +. I’ve used this same brand of trigger (Pregnyl) two other times before, and both times I had a negative trigger test at 8DPO/10DPT. It’s probably still trigger, but I’m really hoping it’s not. I’m planning to test again on Wednesday at 10DPO.

orangehibiscus Yep, natural cycle. I usually O cd18-22 but I’m cd26 so I guess the cyst is still messing with my cycle. Very disheartening. I can never keep my hopes in check! It’s impossible!

Sorry the cyst is still causing you problems! Does your RE have a plan for the cyst? I tell myself every time that I won’t get my hopes up. You’re right...it is impossible!

orangehibiscus No plan yet other than to check on it at my next baseline. Still debating taking another month off though. I cannot make up my mind!

Well after I typed that I went and did an opk and it’s almost positive again. Hoping that means O is soon and I can get this cycle over with!

I swear I see a super faint line, but it's not showing up if I snap a pic. Not sure if it's legit there or if I'm imagining it. 9dpiui/11dpt. Guess I'll see what tomorrow brings.

Possible TW Well, I tested again this morning with FMU (used SMU yesterday), and I got another faint line. I think it looks the same as yesterday’s. Still not sure what to think of this. Will test again tomorrow. END TW Did you test again grover ? ETF tag

orangehibiscus, I got a light line today, but easier to see than yesterdays. Last time I had light lines until after my missed period. When are you having betas?

Are you going in for betas? I haven’t told my RE yet, so I’m not scheduled for betas. I’m still not sure if I want to call this yet or not.

orangehibiscus, Since it was IUI cycle, my RE requires a beta before next cycle. Currently scheduled for next Monday (they schedule it at the same time they schedule the IUI) but I'm trying to get it moved to Friday. My nurse doesn't want me to because "the number won't be as high", but we did it 13dpiui when I was pregnant with A, so I feel like I would have less anxiety going in on Friday than being in the unknown over the weekend.

orangehibiscus, crossing everything for you! I hate that the trigger plays such mind games, mine always took forever to go away, but you're so far out from the trigger that it should be getting lighter and lighter and not staying the same. Ahhh, so hopeful for you!

They should move it up! The point is about doubling. It doesn’t exactly matter what the first number is! I hope they move up your beta. Are you going to keep testing daily?

Looks like I O'd yesterday (just Femara and TI this cycle), our timing wasn't great (O and -2) but it's something. We've been traveling a lot so I haven't kept up with OPKs or temping like I should've. Oh well, kind of just resigned that this cycle will be a bust and we'll be doing IVF although I'm sure in about 8 days I'll get my hopes up anyway ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

Ahhh, so hopeful for you! My trigger has been gone by 8DPO both times. I was shocked to see a second line yesterday. It makes me very nervous though that today’s line wasn’t any darker.
