First timer....What should I expect at my appt with an RE on 3/11/10? (pg mentioned)

Welcome Jeni! Sending good vibes to you on this cycle.

Thanks for the info on the Clomid section. I spent some time reviewing everyone's reaction. Today was day 1 on Clomid. I spent all day waiting for some of the bad s/e. So far so good! The nurse gave DH a rundown on the hormonal/emotional s/e so I think I have kitchen pass for the next few days.: )

Welcome, Jen! Hope this cycle works for you. I'm on 2.5mg of Femara (I think, but I don't have the bottle handy). It cost about $70. This is my first cycle on it so I'm waiting to see if I respond to it or not.

At least I'm over halfway through another crazy work day...

winklehawk ~ did you take the Femara for 5 days total on CD5-9 ?? Thanks much Hope any side effects are staying away! I'm out for this cycle Want to talk to the RE's nurse and see about trying Femara next cycle

[winklehawk]

My RE actually had me take Femara on CD3-7. I'll go in on Monday for an u/s to see if the Femara is doing the trick for me. If not, I imagine they will up the dose for next month.

Hello Ladies!

Thursday is our follow-up with the RE. I am praying for simply options at this point outside of IVF. DH's bloodwork will be back from the lab by then so we can determine if that looks good. I guess it's a good thing that everything with me looks to be in good shape at this point.

We picked out the appliances and granite for our new house last week and go on Monday to pick carpet and door hardware - so exciting! We close on 5/6.

Happy Easter everyone!!

Lilly - Good luck at the RE on Thursday! I hope to hear good news for you after that appointment. Sounds like things are coming together with the new house.

AFM - I'm just enjoying the lovely weather. I talked to my boss on Friday about needing a more flexible travel schedule for awhile due to medical issues and he was suprisingly ok with it. We shall see if he remains ok with it once I start being flexible in my travel plans.

I still haven't made my travel plans yet for next week for work. I'm waiting around to see what the RE says on Monday, just in case I need to be in town this week for an IUI.

Lilly, will look for your update Thurs. I hope it's good news! I have always wanted to move into a new house! Have fun picking everything out!

Winklehawk, I am glad to hear your boss was open to some flexibility with travel. Hopefully he'll keep feeling that way. Will look for your update on Monday.

Hello Ladies,
Just finished the last day of Clomid. There weren't any really bad s/e... sore bbs were about all. I don't know if this is a s/e, but my baby making drive is WAAAY down... Tomorrow is the HSG. I'm hoping it goes smoothly. After that, I have one last blood draw on CD 23 and then I can go in to have all the results reviewed. I will let you know how things go tomorrow.

On the home buying front, I think we are one step closer to buying a house... well, it feels like it since we've been signing and initialing a ton of paper... I hope it means that we got the house!

Have a great Monday!

[winklehawk]

wannabmamma - I hope your HSG goes smoothly and that you have good results. Congrats on the new house!

AFM - The u/s this morning went better than I expected. I wasn't expecting to respond to the first cycle of Femara. I have a 3 follies growing, 13.5 on the right and 19 and 16 on the left. The PA seemed very satisfied with that. I will take the Ovidrel shot on Wednesday night and have my first IUI on Friday.

I was about halfway home from the RE when the PA called and asked me to come back for bloodwork. On my way back, I was rear ended in traffic b/c the person behind me admitted they were talking on their cell phone instead of paying attention to traffic.

I'm still shocked that I'm actually scheduled to have an IUI this month.
