Overabundant October 2WW

[momamia4]

I typically ovulate the same day as the positive. My appt went great! I have one 19mm follicle and my lining is 13mm and triple striped. He said just bd and then start progesterone on cd16-28. He's doesn't think I need to do injectables. He said we can keep trying naturally until we get sick of it and want to move on. I'm supposed to go back on 14dpo for bloodwork.

Yeah, so happy for you Momamia that your appointment went good. I think the fact you DTD the last two days is right on tract for SMEP if you DTD again today. What cycle day are you today? I ask because I am wondering what other docs prescribe for the progesterone. I have a RX for it and doc said to start 2 days after my +OPK and continue until AF comes, but I don't think that sounds correct. I think taking it for a certain number of days after O sounds more logical then just keep taking it until AF comes.

I am so happy for you. I am still two weeks away from my typical O day so I will be attempting right about when you are getting your BFP.

Thanks! I am cd13 today. He said only to take it for 12 days and then stop so I can see if my period starts.

Your numbers look great Momamia, fingers crossed for you this cycle.

GirlieCat, My RE has me start the progesterone pills at 2 DPO.

I'm not sure why he said it was 19mm. Here's the ultrasound pic. In the bottom left, you can see the second measurement is the follicle size. It says 22.1mm.

When does he have you stop? I agree with the start, but I have read that (if you aren't pregnant) that you will delay AF by not stopping the progesterone. Mine just said to take it till AF comes.

I have never gotten AF while taking them (some people do), my RE does a blood HCG test at 14DPO and if the results are negative then I stop the pills. I will get AF anywhere from 2-4 days after stopping.

Momamia, if I am not mistaken those numbers read something like 2.21cm and 2.78 cm, I think they then do a calculation to get the MM size of the follicle.

Oooooh! That makes sense then. I've never gotten a print out like that, so I have no idea how they do it. Thank you for the clarification!

I'm glad your appointment went well, Momamia!

I know I'm barely in the TWW but I've never felt this little hope that I'll be pregnant this cycle before. I just don't feel like this is our month? Might be because this is our first cycle trying this time around and part of me wants it to take longer to see that swaying is "doing something".
