3 failed IUIs. How do you cope?

[Chris_25]

Ladies I had a bit of red spotting when i wiped first thing this morning. I was soooooo upset woke up DH...im sooo worried now second beta is today. Still have some light cramping...I am praying soooo hard that its nothing

I am praying so hard for you babywish! The whole process is like video games, you pass a level, level after level, before you can win eventually. You will be fine girl, I know it is hard to relax, but our prayers are much stronger....

I totally agree with that how everything is a level and after you pass you still have to worry! I am also praying for you babyw! I'm sure everything is fine and spotting is pretty normal! My sis in law is 18 weeks pregnant and she still gets red spotting.

My beta came back today at 33.7 I kind of freaked out at that number, but the nurse was assuring me it was good because I tested a day early. I did the ET on 11/18/13. I am crazy and am going back tomorrow and again Friday for more blood work! I also had to increase progesterone and estrogen.

Babywish, great 2nd beta! The numbers are more than doubling, which is great.

Chris, don't freak out about your beta. It's still a good number for being as early as it is, and the most important thing is that the number is rising at your next beta.

Baby.wish! Good job more than doubling!! I know how nerveracking it is. Honestly, I still don't believe I'm going to have a baby and I'm still worried all the time that the rug will be pulled out from under me.

Chris - it is still super early. I was surprised your test date was so early actually. Mine wasn't till 14dp5dt. I was scared to test until the day before that lol!

 

[baby.wish]

Chris, Don't worry I agree with everyone else you did test early and that number will go up today.

For those of you that did accupuncture, did you continue throughout the first trimester? I haven't read anything but i'm assuming its safe to continue? I really think it helped calm me this time around. Also besides prenatal vitamins are you ladies did you ladies take anything else??

Hi all...i hope you remember me.I have been MIA for sometime.congratulation to all who got bfp.
today is 14dpo for me and i tested bfn.Another month of disappointment!another failed iui

 

[PinkPeony]

Aw sorry ttcmoon

Babywish - I would have continued, but I couldn't afford it after ivf. But yes it's safe, there's just a few points they have to avoid during early pregnancy.

babywish, so happy that your beta went up nicely, that's awesome news!! for your stress levels, try to ignore the spotting asmuch as you can...unless it gets heavy and/or painful cramps, that tends to be normal most of the time (though nerve wracking). i'm so happy for you that this is progressing so well!!

chris, 33 is a totally valid early beta and i'm keeping my fingers crossed for you that things double in the next few days!! just hang in there and realize it's normal to feel worried all the time. i still do all the time as well. i actually rented a doppler a month ago so i could "check" on the baby. it's totally psycho i realize, but it gave me much needed peace of mind because i was always worrying!

ttcmoon, sending hugs your way, i'm really sorry about this failed cycle.

Mav did you continue with accupuncture after you got your BFP??

 

[Maverick007]

Mav did you continue with accupuncture after you got your BFP??

Oh yeah I meant to respond to that question! I did actually continue for a short time. I believe I did maybe 3 total sessions between weeks 5 and 12 and after week 12 I just couldn't really afford it anymore so I stopped. They do different points and also the lady I went to would have me recline rather than lie down completely. I say if you can swing it financially, keep it up for a little while because I think it's definitely beneficial.

Thank you! I got blood work done this morning which was only 23 hours after my last blood test and it went from 33 to 57 I have to go back in 48 hours which will be Friday morning.
Your not psycho for getting a Doppler because I would totally do the same thing! So many women I know have one.

 

[PinkPeony]

That's great Chris!!

 

[Maverick007]

Chris, that is a great beta today...can't wait to hear how it looks Friday. Happy Thanksgiving everybody!

 

[ttcmoon]

[Chris_25]

Thank you and Happy Thanksgiving!

I just wanted to say good luck to everyone out there who I'd still trying for that BFp and to everyone who is expecting! I'm sitting here nursing my lo right now he came 1.5 weeks early but is a healthy baby boy....... This whole experience was hard but the outcome is truly amazing and worth every but of pain!

Hey everyone.. I haven't written anything for a while but I've been checking on all of you from time to time. I just got my bfp yesterday ( happy thanksgiving to me!) on a frer and a clear blue digital. I was 12dpiui/14dpt. I was really worried it was the trigger but I tested again this morning and its still there! Might be a little darker. I will test again tomorrow morning and then have my first Beta on Monday. I still can't believe this and I keep going back and looking at the pos tests all day! Still very cautious. Anyway I didn't think this would happen to me and I know how hard it is for everyone that's trying. Don't give up!! Keep pushing along and it will happen!!
