Hello ladies! How's everybody's holiday? This 4 day work-week is great, I think they should make it a norm, hehe.
Beaniez, hope your bleeding have cleared up by now. If not maybe u can check with a gynae?
Berries, hug hug, sorry to hear abt your AF. Jia you, u will make it this cycle!
I went for a scan on Wed (CD11), n I was so devastated. The appt started out well, Dr was reviewing my blood test result n my hormones level r all good. However, when he did the scan of my lining, it was only 3.9mm. The optimal thickness is 8-12mm at ovulation. This is a side effect of clomid, so even though I have 2 beautiful big follicles (16mm n 18mm), one on each side, he had to cancel my IUI cos he didn't think the lining will grow enough by the time I ovulate (he estimated Fri) for the egg to implant properly n sustain a pregnancy. I was so super devastated when I heard that, cos I had scans n follicle tracking for 8 cycles these past year, n everytime my lining is always around 10-13mm, n I always had that optimal "triple stripes lining". So obviously this is due to clomid, which made me wonder why I was given such a large dosage of 100mg in the first place. Anyway, Dr is going to get creative next month. He cut down my clomid to 25mg a day fr CD2, n he's getting me to inject myself with 100iu of Puregon every other day fr CD4, plus give me estrogen pills (for the lining) fr CD 8. I think of the amt of drugs I'm subjecting my body to I feel like crying. Dunno why it has to be this difficult. But anyway, I'm not going to give up this month, I'm praying for a late ovulation so my lining has chance to grow more, n tomorrow I'm going accupuncture, probably it's too late to really help, but I gotta at least try. Last night I tested on opk it's still negative, but it's getting darker. This morning I have EWCM, n temp dipped. Oh I can almost smell the ovulation around the corner, but pls pls pls god, hopefully I get another 2-3 days before my follicles pop *fingers n toes crossed*
