I can make eggs just won't grow

well I am out I went for my ultrasound on monday had six follicles on each side biggest one a 3, my lining was 10.2 and my progesterone was .54 they wanted to see anything above a 5. My choices are now try clomid at 150 mg or go straight to ivf, doc does not want me to do injectibles without it being a ivf cycle since I have no problem making follicles it is just getting them to mature, and since injectibles are expensive don't want to run the risk of canceled cycle because I have too many follicles for iui, ivf would be the best bet since can control the environment and freeze what we don't use. insurance will cover the ivf except for 250.00 thats not bad, I have a ivf consult on monday and I will ask what injectibles and how much so I can call my prescription carrier and see if they will cover, I read on the site they will cover with a 80.00 copay or I pay 20% if I get preauthorization before prescription and its good for 3 cycles. So I will know better after consult I might try clomid 150 mg and see if there is anything he can add with it to help follies mature, and this will buy more time because my husband might be transfering to another department at work and I want him to see how the managers are to see if he will have to get fmla or are they cool and they will give him the day off for egg transfer, since we need his sample. So now just waiting for monday to see what the decision will be.

Are they in there?

Well I went for my ultrasound yesterday, good thing is that the string of pearls that is usually seen with pcos women was not there anymore. Bad thing I had two fibroids, but they are real small so nothing to worry about. The nurse practioner does not thing I ovulated because you cannot see on the uterus where there was a collapsed shell, but she said she really can't go off that maybe it already disappeared, so I have to go in for a midcycle ultrasound to see if I have follicle growing and if I do she will teach me how to do a trigger and if my bloodwork looks like I am not going to release the egg then I will trigger. If it looks like I am not developing any follices then we just wait for witch and I guess injects will be next. So we shall see I thought clomid was working I felt ovulation pain, my opks worked like a medical textbook, but that is the thing with pcos we gear up to O but then nothing happens, but if I didn't O then the follicle should be seen hopefully I did O and the collapsed shell already went away, so we shall see next week what the ultrasound brings

My First 2ww

I am now officially 4 days past ovulation, I don't have my hopes up too much, I don't feel I got enough bd sessions good, fertility friends interprets our bd as good so we shall see, thurs I will be 10 dpo but fertility friend wants me to test on the 29th I guess based on my other charts that showed I o on day 25 or 26 but bw would show I did not so now it is just a waiting game, my hubby wants to do iui next cycle because it was hard doing the bd sessions especially now with our schedule changes at work I get off at 9:30 pm and he gets off at 12:30 am and its a 45 minute drive home. So we shall see my boobies are sore and I had to throw up tonight sorry tmi.

The smiley and the egg

I can't believe it, I actually got a peak on my fertility monitor, in the last 5 months that I have used it I never got a peak, just highs, I was in shock when I removed the stick and saw that. Since this is my first round of clomid you know I got crazy with the ovulation kits, I have 50 sticks internet cheapies these are 50 for $15.00 but was not sure if I can rely on those, so then I also got clearblue read the lines test, and the digital smileys, plus my monitor, the clearblue ovulation has been lighter then reference line since testing, and internet cheapie has been a very faint line. Then today the clearblue line was as dark as reference and on internet cheapie it was as dark as test line, of course you can't rely on your eyes so I used the digital and yup got a smiley. I know people are like big deal you got a pos on ovulation does not mean you are going to get pregnant, but for me this is huge because I always felt opks do no work for me, I was about to give my monitor to my sister in law because I felt it was not working. So we will see if I can catch the egg, the other day my husband was fussin because I had not ovulated yet or saw any signs it was coming was complaining I did not know what I was doing and we need to go to the doctor, he said it feels like its been forever since I took the pill, my sister and mother were complaining too and you would think they would understand my sister has one child and my mother seven.

Is is working?

Well today my temp shot way up I was getting temps of 97.20 - 97.36 today it shot up to 97.98, and I have watery cm I am wondering does this mean I may ovulate within the five days after the clomid. I have never ovulated on my own even when charting it said I did, but after bloodwork said I didn't. I don't feel any side effects or twinges in my ovaries so I guess this is just a wait and see kind of thing. I will start opks on tuesday.

Day 2

Today was not so bad, just felt irratable, had to switch desks today, managements idea of not being bored at the job, and this girl I have never sat by before was talking my head off. I was not in a sociable mood.
