@zweber I can’t remember if you were using OPKs or not but is it possible you ovulated slightly later than you think? That could explain the “lower” numbers. Either way you are clearly pregnant!!

i was using OPKs but i wasn’t temping. and i did get my positive test at 9dpo. anything is possible though! maybe i’m just on the low side. someone has to be, right?!

Absolutely! I will be thinking positive thoughts, but in the meantime I think it is definitely worth your while to try to find a different doctor. I wonder if your PCP (if you have one) could help get you an earlier ultrasound?

It was nice to get back to my RE today. We already added COQ10 and I just started metformin to see if that helps me bc PCOS. We are going to keep me at the lower Letrozole dose I did last month since it seemed to work well. Hopefully lower dose means less chance of leftover cysts. I also go back in 6 days (usually has been 7). Really hoping this is the month!

fingers crossed robotsvswrestlers!!! it sounds like you guys have a good plan!

10DPO and a big fat negative. My period is scheduled to start tomorrow or Sunday.

[lemondrop]

CD1. On the positive, I'm back on my 29 day cycle, after a few wonky months. Blah.

[robotsvswrestlers]

I’m sorry lemondrop. Hope this one is your cycle.

[robotsvswrestlers]

I’m doing ok over here. We moved this weekend so it’s been crazy. Had some headaches, but not as bad as previous months. I have my first appointment Wednesday and hoping we see some follicles growing.

I did start a different COQ10 brand after listening to an RE podcast. He recommended Life Extension with mitochondrial support. I figure it’s probably more reputable than the Kroger generic I’ve been taking.

I’m 6 DPO so just waiting to pee on things.

lemondrop glad your cycles are regulating, way to look for the silver lining

onyx fx for you!


*TW, loss*
Still waiting for my numbers to go down more. Finally saw a dr for the first time yesterday and they are concerned it looks ectopic. Supposed to hear from them today.

Now that I’ve evened out 11-14, but ya I have about 40 tests lol so I’ll probably test tomorrow or Friday.

Fingers crossed. I’ve optimistic this month for some reason.

This is me, I just bought a big box of those as well

Appointment today went ok. Some growth but nothing big, so go back Friday. I’m not too concerned since I ovulated 11 days after starting meds last month. It’s only been 6 days this month.

I did have an experience in the waiting room. This woman in the waiting room was really adamant about not wearing a mask and she had a doctors note (about anxiety I guess). She kept saying she almost passes out about 30 seconds after putting it on and she almost did in the elevator. It was bizarre. I know it can really bother people and it’s a real cause for anxiety, but I could help having some private thoughts about the whole thing. Really weird vibe.

I’m glad it was an ok appointment.

I’m kind of surprised they accepted that Tbh. Doctors in my area have a strict rule on it or it’s “wait”.

They kept trying to get her to put it back on but she wouldn’t. Finally they just took her back to get her out of the waiting room I think. She was truly upset so I felt kind of bad for her. But also, people are here to get pregnant. Please wear a mask. If your anxiety can’t handle a mask for one appointment, how are you going to handle infertility treatment for the months/years? I know I don’t know her full story, but I couldn’t help judging. Especially bc I had to share the waiting room with her and I don’t want to get sick.
