My u/s was a no go!

Well, I leave for my trip tomorrow and I wasn't able to take my trigger to O. My follies were 12.5 on Monday and only 15 today. My cycles are usually 29 days so looks like this one could be 31. I don't understand why since the Letrozole is supposed to help the process out (or so I thought). I'll be Oing on my own this month and they predict it to be possibly Sat. SO.....unless DH has super sperm (and at 37 I doubt it) that will last from Thur morning until Sat night...I think my chances are slim to none this month.

Funny thing is, I was upset about it this morning and cried while they weighed my options (which were none), but I think I am okay with it now. I can't change anything so maybe a better attitude about all of this will help with some miracles since at this point, that is what I need. A MIRACLE!

You've got a good attitude about it Kristie! I'm sorry it's not the news you wanted to hear, but still have fun BDing tonight and hopefully tomorrow morning before you leave! You never know what can happen in those few days. . .DH's spermies can surprise you

Have fun on your vaca with your BF and enjoy your time! I'll say a prayer for you this weekend

I'm sorry. First of all, Femara doesn't always make you O sooner - just improves the quality of the O. Second, if the follicles are only 15, it could be you will O later than Saturday - maybe in time that you can get home and get another bd session in. Do you have any OPKs? You can take them while you are away and figure out if you are surging.

Finally - Thursday - Saturday is not an unreasonable time for sperm to live in the reproductive tract - 3-5 days is pretty standard. GL to you!

T. brought up two points that I was going to make. I'd get some OPKs to take on your trip.That way you won't have to spend the next two weeks trying to guess when you O'd and drive yourself crazy.

PLUS... it isn't impossible to get pregnant if you BD Thursday and O Saturday. So don't lose hope. Or a more importnant word that we learned this month from Katrina... FAITH.

Good Luck Kristie, enjoy your trip!
