Yes. Last month was 2.5 mg Femara on days 3-7. I ovulated on day 18, but my follicles were only at a 9 and a 17 when measured on day 17. My cycle began on what would have been day 28 so there was a 27 day cycle for me. I opted against IUI last month since my follicles didn't show a mature size and my doctor didn't want to do progesterone because he wanted to see if the Femara alone would increase the luteal phase. This month I am taking 5 mg Femara. I will be going in on day 12 to start monitoring my follicles since there is some thought that last month the reason they were measured so small was because they were beginning to release. If measuring at maturity, we will do a second IUI and will start Prometrium 2 days after ovulation for 14 days in an attempt to increase the luteal phase. I'm sure hoping this is the magic ticket. Although, once we get my cycles worked out, we are still dealing with the low motility and sperm count.

Hey everyone!!!
So I was...still am a bit concerned about not gaining weight and not getting enough nutrition to the baby. In the first 6 weeks of this pregnancy i gain about 11lbs. and i have since lost 6lbs. (I am 10 weeks now) and have not put on pounds but gaining weight (the baby is growing and I am expanding). I posted on a pregnancy website messageboard and other women were like me...except they were not WLS patients.
ANYWAY...i find it odd and a bit funny that before pregnancy if I had a weekend of binge eating (just eating almost non stop) I would easily put on 2 - 3lbs. But since I been pregnant it doesn't happen......so which makes me think I am eating and everything I eat is going directly to the baby and he/she is digesting it ALL!!! Making me thinkg this is going to be a fat lil bambino!!!!!

Thanks for checking in! When I woke up this morning, the spotting was definitely more like actual blood. I was pretty sure that this was going to be the end. When I talked to the doctor, she said that they could do blood work, but at this point it was up to me. I know that having my levels checked isn't going to help anything, but dragging two toddlers to the lab today and again on Wed definitely don't count as "taking it easy". So, I decided against the blood work. She said that since I have no pain, it is a pretty good sign. If I make it through the week without any heavy (basically a full period) bleeding, then we can do an ultrasound at 6 weeks to check things out. So, now I wait. The frustrating part is that as soon as I'm sure this is "it", the bleeding lessens. Just when I start to relax and think that everything is going to be fine, the bleeding gets worse again. I've made peace with the fact that there is nothing I can do but wait. I just hope if this is going to end in mc, that it happens sooner than later. False hope is not my thing!
Beautiful boys!! Glad he is healing!! Always scary when our little ones have issues going on that we can't fix ourselves!

We you able to talk/see a Dr. Today? Hope the spotting has stopped and that everything is going smoothly for you! It's always scary to see any blood...especially if you have had a loss in the past. Hope everything is great and you have a great 9mo.
