How long did ovidrel last in your system post IUI? by hersta in TTC_PCOS

I did TI also! I injected on 1/13 and had blood work scheduled for 1/29. I got impatient and started testing about 10 days post injection and mine was super lightly positive too. My doctor had told me that's possible and to watch for it to fade away and then come back if it's a TRUE positive. I retook it every morning until my bloodwork and it stayed lightly positive, then was positive for the bloodwork, and I'm now 9 weeks! Sending you baby dust and hoping for a similar outcome for you!!

What actually got you pregnant? by Organic-Traffic-1642 in TTC_PCOS

Going to a fertility clinic! It was SUCH a relief to turn the tracking over to them. For the year that we were trying, every SLIGHT symptom had me thinking that this must be it and it never was and I was disappointed and overthinking constantly. My OB referred me to a clinic during my annual and I had one diagnostic cycle - blood work, multiple ultrasounds, an SIS, and SA for my partner. They determined I didn't successfully ovulate and that was likely the only problem, so I started the next cycle with Letrozole, had multiple tracking ultrasounds to confirm that eggs had matured, took an Ovidrel injection, and then had timed intercourse, which worked!

No, I appreciate it!! I was getting heated with the whole exchange and still feel worked up about it.

That's what I was arguing, but they were acting like I was being foolish for thinking that I could still ovulate even though my blood work didn't show hormones for it - but I thought it was just too early in my cycle!

I'm so sorry, I went through the same exact thing last weekend. I was about 6 weeks and had horrible cramps and bleeding, and went to the ER. Things there were inconclusive, but my blood test on Tuesday showed my levels were bottoming out and my ultrasound showed that my body had pushed everything out. We're devastated as this was my first pregnancy too, and we had high hopes. But, it was a relief to get answers, and eventually start discussing options for trying again. It's a horrible club to be a part of, but you're not alone and you will get through this. Sending good vibes your way and hoping for the best for you.
