Kim-I wasn't give a choice. They just gave me the script for suppositories.
corey-It hasn't affected OPKs for me. I think that so long as you don't have LH issues due to pcos, the femara shouldn't affect anything. hth.
I got a wonderful suprirse yesterday! My sister flew in from Jersey. I thought I was going to pick up my husband's college buddy and out popped my lil sis. Apparently my entire family and DH have been lying to me for the last month to keep it a secret. Needless to say I burst into tears when I saw her. It was the greatest V-Day surprise!!

i gave in and tested with the unsurprising BFN. hopefully af will show so i can avoid progesterone - again. hope you ladies have a better weekend than me.
Hi Ladies Today Is Cd15 And Am Have About 7 More Days Till P4. I Am So Excited But Scared. I Hope Something Happened I Am Hoping At Least I Ovulated. I Am Praying For Ovulation Even If I Don't Get Bfp Thats Ok Ovulation Would Much Sweet Itsn One Step Closer. I Went To Rodeo Today So That Was Fun. And Tomorrow Finish Painting Restroom. I Am Just Trying To Stay Busy. Thanks For Listening Talk You Yall Ladies Later.
Morning ladies, I gave in and tested this morning at 13 dpo and got a BFN. I know this is only my 4th cycle, but how do you ladies keep your spirits up? I feel like each BFN knocks me down so much.
With this next cycle, I think I'll take my RE's more aggressive suggestion of starting injectables in hopes of getting more than 1 follie per cycle.

ttcsarah-We can all vouch for how you feel. It never gets easier to see the BFNs at the end of every month. I have a wonderful DH who has been so supportive. I have had to play mind games with myself to not get too discouraged every month. Hang in there.
lonnie-Hope you feel better.
laura-GL with your P4 levels. It's always nice when those levels say you Od.
Nothing much new here. Went to the Brad Paisley concert last night and LOVED it!! Rodney Atkins & Chuck Wicks opened for him. Wicks is one hottie! Pictures just don't do him justice. DH was like, "Would you like a tissue for the drool hanging out your mouth?" lol.

We are finally making our way back from the dead!! Holy moly did we feel like crap. DH seemed to bounce back a little quicker than me. I'm finally out of bed today, but stilling feely pretty weak and have no appetite. But waay better than the last couple of days.
Finished up my Femera this week...totally without side effects!! Wahoo, this is such a welcome change from Clomid which gave me terrible headaches. Of course it could be that the flu effects masked the Femera effects, but hopefully there will be no need for another round of Femera ::knocks on wood:::
And...where the heck are all of our BFP's??? We are LONG overdue for one!!
Sooner -- Seriously...how is the flu for LAME! I tossed a leftover ham bone and some bean in the slowcooker to make ham & beans and all day the smell has been making me sick!! This is one of my favorite meals....will have to save the leftovers for when I finally have my appetite back. Hope you're finally on the upswing!!
Kary --- Good for you on buyin a dopplar. You will need it eventually!! And what a sweet surprise that your sister is in town! Hope you enjoy your visit with her!
Chamber -- Dang it, dang it, dang it. I was sooo hoping for your BFP! We've been without one too long around here! Good luck this cycle!! And hopefully that HSG will be just what you needed!
Patrice -- GIANT (((HUGS)))) Oh honey....you are breaking my heart from being so sad. All I can say is DON'T GIVE UP love!! Those wedding vows didn't say "Tell PCOS do us part" you're baby loves you, for more reasons than just babies. And I would bet it'd break his heart to know how much this is eating you up. Just remember that we are all here for you....
Coop -- So sorry about the BFN! Hang in there!!
Rayette -- Sending giant O-vibes your way!!
Kim -- We are almost cycle buddies!! Only 3 days a part...we can stress about testing together! I'm going to be a total wreck after our IUI I know it!! And I'm with you...I think I hate the O wait, more than the 2ww. Ohhh the waiting!!
Sarah -- I was thinking about what you said about how do you keep your spirits up after months of TTC and it made me think of this Eleanor Roosevelt quote:
"A woman is like a tea bag- you never know how strong she is until she gets in hot water."
The thing is...you go on because you have to. And the amazing thing is, that you just keep getting stronger and more determined...because what other choice do we have?? Keep at it Sarah!! We're all here to root you on!
Donna -- Sorry to hear that you and DH have been sick too!! It's the worst!! Hope you're both feeling better!

Hudsonrybicki - I've been poas sinse I did my trigger shot. It's gone negative, was at 3dpiui. I have to admitt, it was nice to see a positive test for once lol. I actually did 3 just to see hahaha. I know, torture, but I have to make the time pass somehow.
My symptoms lately have been cramping everyday. Today I had a little flutter in the lower left (I ovulated on the left side this time), and some small cramping. My temp's have been 98.0 and today's was 98.3. No sore breasts, but I have been very moody, but I usually am after that trigger (messes with everything lol). I'm on 8dpiui, I did poas today and it was negative. (I baught bulk from ebay lol). I've also been SUPER tired. So it's cd31, 8dpiui today, so I guess I'll know anytime now if the cramping everyday was for AF or not.
Other stuff on my mind, don't wanna bring anyone down, but I just need to share...
I found out yesterday that my best friend is pregnant with her second child. I am VERY happy for them, I cried when she told me cause I was so happy for her. She said she was nervous about telling me, as she knows the trouble we've had. I appreciate that she did tell us and was honest about how she was nervous. It's good to know that she can be open with me. She was shocked with my reaction, I gave her a big hug and cried happy tears. DH and I are the only ones who know, so that in itself was nice.
I find however that I AM pretty depressed that our treatments haven't worked. Both DH and I are short tempered and very upset lately. I'm tired of sticking myself with drugs and taking pills, getting blood tests and other personal exams for most of the month. It just really sux. I'm tired of pretending to be happy in everyday life, just to keep people from saying things like "Oh don't worry it will happen when the times right...", or "Just relax". Or even for people who don't even think about what might be bothering us and ask "what's wrong?" I just don't want to explain anymore. Sometimes I just need to be angry, tired and frusterated. I understand people are trying to be nice and helpful, but ya just get tired of hearing it, or having to explain what it's like, ya know? So tonight I'm trying to blog about it and let some of it go, to try and stay positive.
I don't mean to bring everyone down, I just needed to say something to someone, and I know that you all understand.
I'll catch up with personals tomorrow. Take care for now! TTYL

My_Herstory - ((HUGS)) I am so sorry about your frustration peaking. I totally understand what you are saying. I think that people have a natural tendency to want to try to fix things or make them better, and there is just no way to do that with the way that we all feel about infertility. It sucks and there isn't a damn thing anyone can do about it. I hope that you are feeling better and more positive this morning.
Lonnie - What a gorgeous picture! Where was it taken?
NiseFLRN - I hope all goes well with the u/s!!
Kary05 - How is the waiting going? Have you managed to hold off on POAS?
Donna - How are you feeling?
TTCSarah - ((HUGS)) I am so sorry about the BFN. I hope the injectibles go well. It is hard to keep coming back after each BFN. It seems like we all find a way to keep going even when we don't think we can.
Coop - ((HUGS)) I am so sorry about the BFN. How many days past O are you? Is there any chance it could have been too early?
I am doing OK...just waiting to O. I will start using OPKs on Wednesday and hopefully will see a temp shift towards the end of the week. If I don't O again this cycle, I think we might take a TTC break until April. I feel like I need to gather my strength before moving on to injectibles, so starting those next cycle if I don't O might just be to much for me.
Does anyone have any uplifting news to brighten the board a bit?
kim
