Sydney,
Did your lining thicken after ovulation?? I'm pretty sure I ovulated later that night after my u/s so I'm not sure if it would be able to thicken still after that. I am planning to test on April 10 if I make it that long w/out AF coming to visit. Since my normal LP is anywhere from 4-8 days, I would be really happy to make it 14 days without a visit from AF. I am already having some cramping though and its only been 2 days since ovulation so I'm kinda thinking its not gonna work this month. Hoping and praying that is not the case.

Leah, I didn't do another U/S after ovulation, so I don't know. But for my U/S 2 days before ovulation, my RE said my lining was 8.44mm, and ideal. Do you mean the lining can then thin out after ovulation?
Don't give up hope yet! Cramping 2 days after ovulation doesn't really mean anything, and it's too soon for your AF to show up now. Stay positive!!

Dianne-
It is nice to talk to someone who is going through the (almost) exact thing as me. I have no right tube after surgery, so i REALLY need my left ovary to ovulate -hopefully- every time! It hasnt turned out that way, and when I asked about taking more clomid, to see if I could produce more follicles, they told me that wouldnt work. So.... hmm.. Oh well, I hope this cycle works! Good luck to you too!!

Hi ladies, just wanna share that yesterday afternoon, out of curiosity, I tested negative on a HPT. I just want to see if the Ovidrel is out of my body yet, and it is! Yesterday was my 10th day past trigger.

Gianna ~ I too find it comforting to speak with people who are going through the same thing. I hope the Clomid works for you!!! So your first cycle you only ovulated on your right side? When did you have your tube removed?
Sydney ~ I'm holding off on testing for fear of the results, but maybe I should to see if I get a BFN?!?!? Or, maybe I'll just try and hold out till we get the blood test results next Monday....it's so hard though!!!!!

Well, I think that my OPK was Postive on Saturday, the only thing that makes me question it is that the test line was not as thick as the reference line. It looked to be as dark though. It is the only one so far that looks that way. I went ahead and got more test to continue taking them just in case that was not positive. Do you know if it is normal to ovulate past 10 days after the last dose of Clomid?

Dianne, I know man, I'm about to go crazy just thinking about all the possible outcomes and possibilities. Don't test unless you're OK with it, I guess. My curiosity got the better of me.
BTW, I just talked to my nurse, she told me to get the bloodwork done on Thursday, and then that night I will leave for CA. So I guess I'll know on Thurs or Fri!!! *yikes*

Jennifer~I hope you did ovulate and you're on your way!!!! I've never had luck with those darn kits. I've heard the ones that are digital are best (I guess you get what you pay for!). Not sure if you can ovulate past day10. Are you getting U/S or blood work done? They should be able to check your blood work like they did mine for the change in progesterone.
Sydney~I'm considering testing and just don't know what to do! I know what you mean, it's SO hard to wait!!!! But you want to keep waiting if it's going to be BFN. Crazy! Hopefully it's GREAT news on Friday!!!! In CA will you be able to post an update for us? I'll be thinking about you! My PT is Monday, 4/6! Dianne

Dianne, thanks for the support! What kind of HPT do you have? I have the sensitive kind, which detects 25mIU of hCG, from early pregnancy tests, (threw in free when I bought Pre-Seed). I need to collect my pee in a cup, and then dip in the stick, not putting it past the MARK. Wait for 5 minutes for results. Pretty accurate I would say. I used the same kind of OPKs too, so I know better now.
First time I used the OPKs, got an invalid, and had to waste 2 or 3.  Tomorrow is my 10DPO, and I hope and I at least get a faint !!! Also, my nurse told me, if I go in and do the bloodwork before 8am on Thurs, I should be able to get the results that same day. I really dunno. Do you think I should? And yes, I will be able to post an update, since I'll be bringing my laptop along. Thanks again Dianne, you dunno how much your support means to me. I wish you all the best too!!!  You just have to endure the weekend!!

You're welcome Sydney!!! We're all here to support each other and I find it very comforting myself!
HPT - I have like 3 different kinds, but I bought them all at CVS so I'm not sure if they're the same level of sensitivity as yours. So far, I've held off. But talking to my husband last night, he said he wants to do one before I leave Thursday morning...I'm still not sure if we should. Decisions, decisions! I've never heard of pre-seed until this board! I've checked it out and we'll use it if there is a next cycle (hopefully not!). I'm going in for my BW at 7am so I can get my results by 11! I just want to know for sure (my hesitation with the hpt is that it could be wrong) ASAP!!! I'd go early if I were you. You'll know for sure and then will be able to plan accordingly (i.e. no drinking in CA if you have baby on board!!!).  I hope you're stuck drinking iced tea and water the whole trip, even if it makes it less fun! Jennifer ~ I'm sorry, I forgot you had insurance issues. You'll know as soon as you get your BW results and I'm sending baby dust and your way!!!!Leah ~ thanks for thoughts! Mine are with you too (just a little behind!) Here's to for ALL of us!!!Dianne
