8/15 Over 3 years ttc, unexplained

-Day 1. Finally taking the leap. Day 3 hormone check is scheduled (terrified of having bloodwork done). Ovidrel ordered. Excited but scared.

8/17 Day 3 Serum for Hormones

- Day 3 I did SO much better than last blood draw which resulted in a panic attack, black out and uncontrollable crying. Only just a little black out, which I am proud to say was the only issue. Also Ovidrel arrived & beginning Clomid today-Day 7

8/18 My 26th Birthday!

8/21 Last Day of Clomid

8/24 Results are in!

-I passed most tests with flying colors. Hormones and Vitamin D levels are "beautiful". BUT my TSH was 4.8 and they want below 2. I now am diagnosed with hypothyroidism. I've been placed on Synthroid.

8/27 Ultrasound and Ovidrel

-Day 13 I have 2 follicles on my right side: 20mm and 22mm. Had Ovidrel shot in the belly, just little sting. Scheduled <a href="https://glowing.com/glow-fertility-program">IUI</a> for tomorrow morning!

8/28 <a href="https://glowing.com/glow-fertility-program">IUI</a> day!

-7:30 was husbands appointment, 9:00 for mine. The procedure was not what I expected. My cervix gave the nurse a hard time, so the forces were called in. they had to inject a numbing agent, use clamps to straighten, and spacers to widen. It was quite painful and uncomfortable. I laid for 15 minutes following. Good news though, husbands numbers were amazing after the wash and chymotrypsin for viscosity. limited to the couch the rest of the day due to cramps. Let's hope I don't have to do this again! Test day is 9/10/2018.

8/30 2 Days Passed Insemination

-Spotting since <a href="https://glowing.com/glow-fertility-program">IUI</a>, but they said it's to be expected due to the tools used in my situation. Temps plummeted, I hope that's not bad. I added a ❤ for <a href="https://glowing.com/glow-fertility-program">IUI</a> day even though we didn't actually baby dance.

What is up with these low temps?!

9/4 7dpiui

-Contacted RE about the wonky temps. Reply "I would rely on the OPK itself. So many factors can change your temp. patterns making it hard to rely on. So I wouldn’t be concerned."

9/8 11dpiui

-Trigger is out of my system now so I assume the weird temps are from that. It looks like its leveled out and starting to go triphasic. Dollar Tree Tests are all stark white, so we will see where we go from here. Yesterday, I had an emotional day from the anxiety. I wasn't a 'mess', but depression hit me hard. The though of this not working had been weighing on me heavily.

-9/10 Test Day

Honestly, being that it is 13 dpiui, I believe tomorrow is test day, but I have been using cheapies and nothing. For the past 3 day I've have painful nipples but not the entire breasts. I have phantom lower abdomen pains much like a muscle cramp before and during AF. Cervix this morning is HCS and temps are dropping. Not looking too promising. Digi is negatory.

9/12 The End

-Temps dove below the coverline and spotting has occured. Even in the most optimal conditions, the sperm just didn't reach the egg. Time to decide what we will do next. Best wishes to all the ladies on this journey!
