Trying for #2!

TxMoms2B

I haven't seen a temp rise. I feel like I just wasted 2 more vials of our ever dwindling supply.
I don't understand...I had Opk be positive like 40 hours ago. I felt twinges on my left side...the only side I have an ovary! This is really not how I wanted things to go. I'm fairly upset right now.

I have no hope for this cycle. STILL no temp rise. I just can't imagine that this cycle was anovulatory, but either it was or my timing was like 2 days off. So idk if I even want to do the progesterone. It will only artificially raise my temps. This is just BS.

My LAST at home insem will be tomorrow morning before work. Probably around 6:00 am. I honestly didn't intend to insem this cycle, but based mostly on superstition and some dumb hunch, my wife convinced me to go ahead with this cycle. I chose to go back to clomid days 3-7, but I stayed at the 100 mg dose. I wish I could trigger, but that's what you get for not working with the RE. I'm also at my heaviest. All the weight I lost before we started TTC has been regained! Yay... :-( We are also only using 1 vial at 24ish hours past smiley (which I got this AM). My wife wanted to use 2, but I didn't want to be "wasteful." We've been more hush hush this cycle. I'm not talking about it. My wife and I aren't talking about it except when necessary. Honestly, I haven't even opened the dewar box. I'm just trusting my vial is ok. I'm thinking about only using a very small dose of progesterone as a precaution 3 days past ICI. If this doesn't work, things are going to become a lot more expensive very quickly. But in going to need to lose weight again to go see the RE. Well, wish me luck.

Sitting with hips elevated as we speak. I leave the speculum in during this process to prevent leakage, but I wonder if some take it out? It was time right around 24 hours past initial positive smiley OPK. However, I am still getting smileys. *shrugs*. Gotta throw caution to the wind at this point. All last night I seemed to have pain on my left side. I'd describe it as moderate discomfort. It was worse than I ever remember feeling because I started consulting Dr. google regarding my possible OHSS! I feel better this AM, but now I'm wondering if I missed my window. I had less EWCM this am. So...hopefully preseed will help he out in that dept. I'm going to put in an instead cup in about 10 min. Then I have to rush rush rush to get to work. I made arrangements to arrive late, but I didn't realize the schedule was going to be so heavy so now I feel bad. If I see a temp rise that looks like confirmation of ovulation I will use my progesterone. Otherwise I'm not really feeling the point of it. Is this how people who have been trying for a while feel? Apathetic? Pathetic? Afraid to feel too hopeful about any step in the process? That's where I'm at. I'm hoping the next insem will include a trigger shot. We'll see. I think I'm going to lose weight then go see my RE. So next insem will probably be put off a bit. Maybe I'll be pregnant by our 11/1 year anniversary in June?! Here's to hoping!

God a temp change would have been reassuring. No dice. At least I only had to get my hopes up for about 24 hours!

TxMoms2B

So my temp shot way up today. FF says if I continue to have higher temps for next 2 days I will have ovulated within 24 hours of our insem. First good news I've had in a while! I guess cross your fingers for more high temps???

TxMoms2B

Well, it's official...I ovulated! My temps are way up. FF says I o'd within 24 hours of the insem. I'm going to start taking progesterone tonight. I'll probably test on the 25th. My wife's bday is the 27th. I'd love to wrap up a positive test!!!

Well I'm a little disheartened by this am temp. It dropped .3 degrees. Yes, I know that's not a lot and its still above the cover line, but it just looks bad. The outside temp also took a major nose dive last night and I felt cold when I woke up to take my temp, but even so that won't make up for that much of a drop. It's too early to be an implantation dip. I guess it would have just been a lot more reassuring if my temps stayed consistently high. What can I do about it tho...?

TxMoms2B

So I had a dream where I got a positive pregnancy test. I woke up and had elevated temperatures today. Now my mind is reeling with all the possibilities the what-ifs and the maybes.. I literally haven't thought straight since I woke up. My mind is so preoccupied with the chance that I might be pregnant. I hope That I haven't just set myself up for major disappointment. But I can't help but feel excited…

TxMoms2B

Tested BFN @ 10 dpo. Why did I do that?

TxMoms2B

Temp tanked this AM. I know I'm out.

TxMoms2B

Temp tanked below cover line. Tested BFN. I'm stopping progesterone...my body wants to have a period.

Probably not trying again until July.
