3 failed IUIs. How do you cope?

[Maverick007]

So eager to hear how you guys are doing today! Pink, babywish, and mrsT, sending positive thoughts and prayers your way!!

StayHopeful, I know what you're saying, I'm sure there's always going to be that nagging anxiety until your baby is born healthy, and even then, there will always be new things to worry about. I'm just gonna try to enjoy it! How was your latest scan? Everything good I assume!

 

[PinkPeony]

We did it ladies! I am currently PUPO with 2 perfect blasts!! The other 4 made it to blast stage, doc said all looked excellent! I'm so pleased with that result. Now just kicking back with some DVD's and a gluten-free brownie.

 

[Breaking Dawn]

Pink - that is SO exciting!!

I hope those 2 perfect blasts snuggle up all nice in there

Sweeeeet! So excited for you! When is your OTD?

 

[PinkPeony]

Sept 10. Ssssoooooo far away. It's a full 2 weeks. They said not to test early bc the hcg can stay in the system that long. I mean I did have a big dose to trigger, but I was kinda hoping to do a hpt before the beta. I don't think I can handle waiting till the phone call.

 

[Maverick007]

I have heard it can stay in your system for up to two weeks...I think I took my trigger on 7/31 and tested on 8/15 so I was 16 days out from trigger by then. You could always get the cheapies and test out the trigger so you know when it's gone...not that I'm encouraging you to disobey your dr or anything. I know the wait is excruciating!

 

[Maverick007]

babywish, i know i am totally harassing you but any news yet? i am on pins and needles!

 

[Strawberry13]

Awesome pink so happy everything went so well!! Are the other 4 going to be frozen? If so that is great! So they are making you wait 2.5 weeks post trigger to test? That seems like a really long time. I'd probably break down and test if I were you.

 

[PinkPeony]

Yeah I'm not one to do the test out the trigger thing. I really hate preg tests in general (bc they're always negative). I don't even keep them in my house anymore. For my IUI's I told my doc not to bother scheduling the beta and I would just wait till AF showed. I think I'll do a hpt a day or 2 before though. That's true that the trigger was days ago. Eek! Ok I'm not going to worry about it now. I get anxious just thinking about it.

 

[Maverick007]

Don't blame you a bit for being anti-test. I was just rummaging around for something in the bathroom cabinet today and found a test I took for one of the IUIs that was negative. Have no earthly idea why I would save it, but there it was. I think I wanted to save it so I could hold it up against a lightbulb later on just in case there was an invisible line only light could reveal.

anyway, i am so anxious for you too, i hope the next two weeks hurries up!!

Nothing yet!! I'm going nuts myself but I was told wouldn't get a call until the late afternoon

 

[Mrs. T]

Yay PinkPeony! Sticky vibes to you!!!

 

[SashimiMimi]

That's great pink!! I did a hpt 11dp3dt. I think if you want to test a couple days before it would be okay. Just remember the beta is the official test. Congrats on the two blasts!!

Babywish thinking of you!!

 

[Mrs. T]

Well this is almost becoming comical but not quite. So I am again having to stim one more day and go back for another u/s and b/w tomorrow!

Friday my follicle count was low so they threatened cancellation and made me go for an u/s and b/w on Sunday. Sunday everything looked okay but they wanted me to go for one more on Monday. Monday when I went they told me my follicle count looked good but my estrogen didn't rise much so they threatened cancellation again. So I had to go for another b/w and u/s on Tuesday (today). Today they said my estrogen went up but my follicle sizes don't look as good as they did Monday. OMG!!! I am going crazy. We have to travel a long distance to our fertility clinic so my husband has had the car packed for two days and we have been sitting around waiting for the go ahead. Ahhhhhhh!!!!!!!!

 

[Jlh1980]

Congrats pink I hope you have a quick stress free 2ww!!

Oh my goodness, I feel stressed just reading about it! So sorry this has not been a smooth process for you. Really hoping tomorrow brings the news you're waiting for.

 

[PinkPeony]

Ah! How annoying!! Have they even thought about adjusting your dosages? Why is cancellation their only alternative?
Still got everything crossed for you.

 

[Strawberry13]

Ugh soooo annoying. When are they going to let you know? I don't know why they dont just say trigger and come in for EC? Seemed like you'd get at least a handful of mature ones.

 

[StayHopeful]

Baby.wish, thinking about you

Great news, Pink, congrats on being PUPO!

Mrs. T, that is so frustrating. I hope that you are able to get some answers soon and that your ET is just around the corner!

Mav, my last scan looked good! Baby was measuring a day ahead, so it's growing well. We heard the heartbeat for the first time and even got to see him/her move just a tiny bit (they don't move much yet). Amazing! But of course after a day of feeling ecstatic, I'm back to worrying about everything being okay. I'm still sick all day though, so I guess that's a good sign. I forgot to take my nausea med this morning and had to run out in between classes, good thing it happened during a passing period!

Hi Guys,

SOrry I didn't post anything yesterday I was just soooo out of it all day. Bad news on my end, even though my test was positive my beta is only 18.

I have to go back and test my beta in two days but more then likely this is a chemical pregnancy. I'm devestated, words can't describe how I feel right now. I barely slept last night...I was sooo sure it was going to happen this time. I don't really know what else to say but wanted to thank all of you for your support this whole cyle.
