orangehibiscus They didn't say. I saw it on the screen, but I rarely know what I'm looking at. I just had an HSG 2 weeks ago, so I would think it would have shown up there if it was a cyst or tumor. I go back in tomorrow. Anything specific I should ask?

jacks I would just verify that the HSG would be the correct test to look at something like that. My RE told me that an HSG looks more for open tubes, and isn't necessarily the best for looking at things inside the uterus (especially if they are small). I have to have a saline sonogram done before I start my next treatment cycle to evaluate my "cyst" or whatever it is (if it is even still there). Good luck with monitoring heartpresidents!

Thank you for the warm welcome  No follicles to speak of  This has happened before on just Clomid, I've had to redose for a few days to get things moving, so the doctor isn't concerned yet. We're doing blood work to see if something is going on behind the scenes and potentially redosing Gonal. I should hear back this afternoon, and probably more monitoring Friday. |

I feel like I leave each monitoring appointment with more questions than answers.
But I have a plan. Trigger shot tomorrow morning and IUI Friday afternoon if the thaw goes well.

Ugh, heartpresidents. Hoping your body gets the message that it is time to get working! Sounds like you've got a Doc who is good about being flexible which is amazing. jacks - So happy you've got a plan! Did you have good growth since your last scan? I always get excited about triggering...probably because if feels like we're making progress! Even after all this time, I get so frustrated that it's this hard to make a baby. |

Well, did not see that coming! Already ovulated, probably yesterday or the day before. Intercourse Friday night by chance, but looks like I'm out for the cycle (insert eye roll emoji).

wisco The right went from 15 to 16.5. Left side probably won't make it. I'm really nervous about thawing one of our vials when it seems like neither one is really big enough.

heartpresidents WUT? Our bodies. They make no sense. I'm going to hold out hope that you're still in... Have you ever ovulated that early? jacks I think those HCG trigger shots are magical, so FX that your follicle releases a beautiful egg and things go well! You've got enough "supply" for 3 IUIs, correct?

Last month was our first experience with Gonal and I ovulated day 12, but this would have been day 8 or 9. I have to call the doctor back this afternoon to figure out where we go from here...maybe step down the medication? So annoying. |

Thanks guys! wisco, i went in today for betas - never done them before since this is my first cycle with the RE so not really sure what kind of numbers i'm hoping for... i know you want it to double over two days right? they're supposed to call back today jacks, agree with wisco, i think those trigger shots are magical... this was my first time using one but i could definitely feel it working.... or maybe it's because i dont ovulate on my own that when i actually did with the trigger i could feel it. heartpresidents, FX friday was your lucky night |

Congratulations caligirl ! I'm only 9dpo on a I'm sure a failed cycle and still am testing multiple times a day. Internet Charlie's are so cheap I can't help myself. I hope you have a happy and healthy 9 months! |

caligirl Yay! That is great news. I hope the trigger shot is magical because I definitely cursed at my husband the entire time he was doing it. And I am very crampy right now. I ate a brownie to compensate and make me a nicer person today.

jacks Brownies ARE my love language. caligirl Yes, betas should double in about 48 hours in the early weeks of pregnancy. Your first number is really dependent on implantation, so as long as they are rising nicely there is no cause for concern! Good luck and keep us updated!

Congratulations caligirl! Did you find out your beta yet? I'm sorry you ovulated super early heartpresidents. FX you still have a shot this cycle. wilmaroo 9 DPO is pretty early to test, especially multiple times a day. I start testing at 10DPO with FMU only. Sorry you're crampy! I hope the brownie helped jacks! |

Great caligirl! I had my baseline. Cyst from last cycle is finally breaking down and my lining was still at a 6, so all the pomegranate must have done some good. I haven't had a period this heavy in forever. Starting 7.5 femara tomorrow, monitoring next Saturday morning. |

Good numbers caligirl! There are websites that will calculate betas for you. I'm glad your cyst is going away fatpony. I hope the 7.5mg dose of Femara works better for you! LOL! I know. It is so hard to resist the urge to test wilmaroo! |
