Good news, my lining was great! I have really never had an issue with that. I had one follie that was a little over 5mm on my left side. On my right side, I had one smaller and one nice follie at 19mm. Perfect size to trigger! But, guess what? The right side it the WRONG side. I no longer have a tube on that side. I don't know what else to say, but to simply say that I am bummed. This cycle is a bust!
My RE mentioned something about upping my F.emara dosage from 5mg to 7.5mg next cycle (2 to 3 pills) to try to produce follies. She also wants to test my progesterone just to see what it's like on F.emara. Grrr! So, I now have to get my progesterone checked next Wednesday and it will mean nothing. She thinks I will ovulate Wednesday-ish. So, I am now waiting on AF. ... I think I want to talk to her about an injectable/IUI.
The car ride home was ... well, we won't talk about that.
Honestly, I am not sure what I want to do. I am unsure of what my heart is able to handle at this point. My emotions and thoughts are running wild. I walked in the door and immediately indulged myself in chocolate chip cookies. Dinner tonight consisted of corndogs, chips and a P.epsi. Tomorrow, I will return to my TTC diet. And, hopefully, I'll start thinking more positively about next cycle.

That is SOOOO frustrating. I am so sorry and I hope for much better luck next cycle!!!
I'm so sorry. :-( Indulge yourself as much as you want and I hope that you are able to move forward with another cycle soon.
I am so sorry. I hope that your are able to come up with a plan and your next cycle is a success, whether you increase the Femara or do injectibles. Take good care of yourself.
I gotta say.. I medicate with food too. And it feels so good. Sometimes you just need it. I'm back on the treating my body right plan..until the next Dr's. visit. :)
Sorry your cycle is a bust. How frustrating! Hopefully next cycle will go better. Good luck!
So sorry this cycle may not go through.
Ugh! The worst thing about IF is the CONSTANT waiting. Sucks.
Oh RATS! I am so sorry honey. Gosh, I really had my hopes up. It's amazing what a dinner like that can do for the soul.
I am so sorry to hear about your stinking ovary. Why couldn't it have been the left?! Oh, the injustice. I'm glad you indulged...definitely a day where you deserve to. Hang in there.
I'm so sorry!
Am I understanding it right that you're going back to IUI after an IVF and FET? What's the reasoning? Sounds like your chances would be so much better with IVF seeing that you have one functioning tube.
Sorry for being so curious, just hoping so much to see you succeed!
Take care of you self. No harm in a little chocolate :)
=(
I'm so sorry and frustrated for you. We go through way too much during any given cycle and for it to have to be cancelled sucks a bit more than if it didn't work cause at least then you would have had a shot. I can imagine your state of mind, go ahead and feel how you need to feel and then come back and kick IF in the butt. ((hugs))
Oh NO! I'm SO SO SO sorry :( This is just so frustrating and sucks so bad. I wish I could come to where ever you are and give you a great, big hug.
I'm so sorry Rachel. It just sucks!! What a bummer. Try to hang in there!!! We're all here rooting for you and your DH!!
Corndogs and chocolate chip cookies....sounds perfect after the kind of day you had.
Sorry this all sucks.
Thanks for delurking today...
So sorry. I know that feeling. I hope you can jump right back in for next cycle. What's the plan? Another IVF or IUI?
Hello!
My name is Elisabeth, and I am an infertility / repeated pregnancy loss "veteran". You can read a little bit about me and my experiences in my (not very updated) blog: drhousewife.blogspot.com . I am completing a PhD in Counseling Psychology, and my dissertation is focused upon the impact of infertility on marriage. I believe strongly that there is a need for better support services for men and women who are undergoing IF diagnosis and treatment, and my hope is that this study will aid in the development of such services.
I am contacting you after stumbling across your blog. I am recruiting participants for my study, and wanted to invite you and your husband to take part. All that would be involved would be the completion of an online survey, that would take approximately 20 minutes. All couples who complete the surveys will receive a voucher good for a pair of free movie tickets at a Regal Cinemas.
Please let me know if you are interested by emailing me at UTInfertilityResearch@gmail.com . I have included the criteria for participation below.
Best of luck to you!
Elisabeth
I am still thinking of you.
I totally hear you about feeling so lost! Thinking of you and I'm sorry :(
Thanks for commenting on my blog.
