3 failed IUIs. How do you cope?

[SashimiMimi]

You could always check again tomorrow, but keep in mind that only a beta blood test is 100% accurate. I recall my BFP took almost a full minute to appear and like you I just wanted to throw it out the window and storm off, but I waited it out reluctantly. Sorry you are going through te unneeded extra stress. Just remember what will be will be and either way its out of your hands now. Hope you are okay!

Jlh-- I hope upon HOPE that its neither a trigger nor a false positive!!

Some brands do have an evaporation line that appears after 15 minutes or so, creating a false positive....

My triggers usually take about 10 days to get out of my system.

Keep us posted!!! My fingers are crossed for you!

Im with sunshine all the way!!
All I can say is test in the morning. If its darker then it's the real deal!!!
I hate that you didn't "test out" the trigger & now you're going nuts! I did this same thing but I can't remember how many dpo I was at the time.

ok I have heard of this happening and sometimes you can develop an evaporation line after the valid window which is why they say not to rely on it. Did the second line have a color to it? Usually evaporation lines will be grayish or kinda look like a shadow...but a true HCG line will have color depending on the test (blue or pink dye). If there is color hun you've got a chance!!!!!! Cant wait to hear about it tomorrow.

JLH sending you lots of positive energy. FX!

Thanks everyone for the well wishes!!! All the information was really helpful and I was able to not get too carried away. I just have never ever seen anything else in that spot other than stark white, so to see anything was exciting even if it is a false pos or the trigger.

Well I tested again today, waited the full 2 minutes and again I have a faint positive line, which is a HAIR darker than the one yesterday. I made my husband look at it a thousand times and he agrees it is definitely darker. So if I don't get my AF on Thurs I plan to go in Friday for a blood test.

The worst part is I work in a hospital and could easily go down to the emergency room and convince one of the docs to draw my blood, but I promised my husband I wouldn't do that after he called me crazy


Please keep sending the positive energy my way, and thank you again for all the support!

 

[Sunshine24]

Jlh! Sounds promising! Fingers crossed!!!

 

[Bma11]

Yay, it does sound promising !!! Oh my gosh I would so convince someone to draw my blood. Lol my DH knows he could never convince me to not take a test or anything of the sort. You are strong!! Lol

 

[SashimiMimi]

Eeeeek! That is great! I would really think the trigger was out of your system by now! Who knows why some IUIs work and some don't, especially after LTTTC. My SIL conceived my neice on her 4th try and only did one IUI, not the back to back days because she had mentally given up and wanted to gear up for IVF!

Well I feel hopeful for you JLH!! Lots of positive energy that this is a little bean in there!!!

 

[PinkPeony]

YAY!! That's awesome.

 

[Sunshine24]

Hi friends, I just got my 3rd beta from the doc and my level is now 1544! It was 157 last week at this time so it is moving how it is supposed to, they said it is very good

DH and I are debating about telling our immediate fams this Sunday at Easter. MOST of me wants to share the joy ( and have to stop hiding the truth! ) but a tiny part of me is still worried something could go wrong.

Anyway, just wanted to share the news w my group of awesome supporters! I think about all of you and pray for you daily!

 

[Bma11]

Good news sunshine!!! WHOO hoo! Let us know what you do sounds like everything is going really well, but I know there is that fear. So maybe just moms and dads?!?! And the rest at 12 weeks or more??

Thanks for your prayers!!

 

[Sunshine24]

Thanks! Yep I think we're just doing parents and siblings on Easter and then everyone else waaaaaaaaay later on! MY DH Easter will have 2 of his aunts and one uncle there too but they are all so close thats basically his immediate fam. I just hope my MIL can keep her gossipey mouth shut until 12 weeks!

 

[SashimiMimi]

I couldn't contain myself and called my mom right away. Then again our families new we did IVF so we had a lot of people wondering if it worked. It might be nice to tell your family at Easter while the momentum is still going strong. Or you could alway wait until after your first scan when they detect the heartbeat. Once the heartbeat is detected its a 95% chance the pregnancy will be carried to term. Let us know what you decide!!

 

[PinkPeony]

This thread rules. It's such a beacon of hope and positivity.

 

[Jlh1980]

This is horrible that I am saying this to you guys before my husband, but I'm still at work and I want to tell him in person.

BMA I read your message and I knew that I was going to go insane wondering, so despite my husbands requests I went to the lab wrote myself a script for a stat BHCG and progesterone and it came back high.

Its only 19 right now so I know thats really low, I hope that is not the trigger still, and the progesterone is not back yet. Fingers crossed the number keeps doubling. Thank you guys again for all your support I really believe it helped me through one of the darkest times in my life.

 

[Bma11]

Oh!! Fx for you!! Keep testing! It is early but I'm so praying for a sticky bean!!! I read your message with a huge smile on my face!

 

[Jlh1980]

Yay congrats sunshine, everything sounds perfect. I agree I would probably tell parents just because I'm sure they have wanted this for you guys as much as you have wanted it for yourself! They've been on the ride with you and I'm sure they would be ecstatic, such great news to be able to share at Easter!

BMA I've been testing myself for all sorts of diseases ever since I entered med school a long time ago, so I figured why stop now

 

[Bma11]

You are hilarious. Love it

 

[SashimiMimi]

JLH there is no way I could have not done a beta if I had access to it! Thanks for sharing it really does sound promising!
