Is there still a chance?

[bny807]

So I haven't been able to be in the TWW for three months now! due to a cyst, then my lap for surgery, and so this month i finally thought i'd be able to be in the TWW, as slow and miserable as it can be the nice thing is that its a hopeful two weeks! : )    anyhow I was wandering what yall thought, if there is still a chance or if I'm really out this cycle!   I went to have a follie check cd12 (8 days ago) had a 22mm follie, and a positive LH surge that day, they went ahead and gave me my ovidrel trigger, then 24 hours later (since they were afraid i would O naturally on my own earlier than the 36 hours) I had my IUI, then 26 hours after that had an ultrasound to check the follie make sure it was gone.. and it wasn't (to my horror and shock-lots of hormonal tears that day) but it was 25mm instead! so they said I was out this cycle, we continued BDing in the chance that I would just O late (since normally I O on cd17-18). Anyhow I'm taking my progesterone, but just didnt' know if there is even a glimmer of hope that I O'd late and some of the sperm from the IUI were still around, or does it sound like since 48 hours after my trigger no release, that it won't release at all??  I dont' want to go jogging if there is a chance! ANY advice is greatly appreciated! thank you!

Thanks so much for your kind words!! brought tears to my hormonal eyes!: )  I know its so true, we have also been living month to month as well, and avioded doing so many things since we were ttc!  It is such a tough process to go through, and I just cant' wait till its all over and we all have our babies in our arms! Everytime AF comes i go get a big coffee and open up some wine, and at least try to make it running! haha! Hopefully it will be soon that all of this will be worth it and we'll look back at this as a small price to pay!! We are starting to plan vacations and trying to get back to living at least semi normal again!   GOOD LUCK! and keep me updated throughout this hopefully not much longer journey! : )

I answered your follie question on the other post.  I'll be hoping that you do get some chances on IUI.  I admire your strength so much with all of this because I know you've been through one roadblock after another though.  All we can do is keep believing we'll get our miracle one day!  When 2008 started, my DH and I decided that we're not sure what happened to 2007 because we had our tests at the beginning of that year that told us we were supposedly fine, so we just lived month to month waiting for something that never happened.  We even skipped our usual beach vacation because we thought for sure I'd be pregnant by the summer and not be able to travel!  We just never thought we'd be trying for this long.  So now this year, we're still as determined as ever to start our family, but we're making sure not to live our life and appreciate what we do have.  Good to talk to you again!!

haha, thank yall! I appreciate your kind words!!    thats exactly how I am, a planner!   and also I deifntley get mad about putting my life on hold for what at this point is "nothing" so far!   but even when I think that I still continue doing it in case there is that glimmer of hope that a crazy miracle could happen!  I'm so scared that next cycle they are going to do a stronger trigger and then find that the egg still isn't releasing, wasting another month!! that will mean IVF already! I just want a couple of IUI try's that have a chance!!  I wish I would produce more than one follie to give that a greater chance! Does anyone produce multiple follies on femara?  Well we'll see, but in the meantime I guess I'll stick to lower impact until AF shows her ugly face yet again!   THANK YALL! : )

I agree with desparado, anything is possible!  Somtimes (unfortunately) we just can't figure out what our bodies are up to and it's so frustrating to not be able to control it.  I saw in one of your other posts that you could only try for a month or 2 before beginning your OPK's because you are such a planner - it made me smile because I am the same way!!!  :)  I think it was smart though to ignore the Dr's opinion to give up and keep BD anyway.  As for the jogging, I'm not sure what to say.  You're probably like me in that you get to a point where you keep feeling like you're putting things on hold and then it doesn't matter anyway!  Jogging can be pretty jarring though, so maybe just try something with a little less impact.  Good luck!

I do believe that anything is possible during this TTC journey. I can't say that I know for sure that you still released after your trigger but I think it is possible. It's also good that you continued BDing so hang in there and pray for a miracle. They do happen when science just isin't able to explain everything. I have everything crossed for you during your wait.
Take care
