3 failed IUIs. How do you cope?

[Jlh1980]

It's so crazy, I just read the first couple pages of this thread and the posts on the first two pages are almost identical to the ones on the last! Sashimi and fisher are right where sunshine, myself, ttc.....etc are now EXCEPT they both have babies on the way! If that is not motivating I don't know what is

Sunshine- how are you feeling? I can not wait until Monday!!!!

Ttcbaby- that is awesome that you got them to bring the price down.

Cclomidqueen- how did you respond on the clomid? I only ever got 1 good follicle. But with injectables I got three! I was so happy! when you do injectables you will also be doing the trigger shot, right?? thats a gaurantee that you will ovulate! My insurance covers a lot of the meds too, for my iui's with clomid the meds were $45, and with the injectables it was $100, and my quote for everything ill need for ivf is $271. To me, that's amazing and helps me a great deal wrapping my head around the thought of how much this is costing!!

I responded really good to clomid I always had 2-4 large follicles. But after the lap we're going to start the injectables assuming they don't find anything awful. Iv not had to pay for my visits or meds thus far, but I called my insurance today and If I needed IVF they will only pay for the meds, monitoring,labs and consult not the procedure. not sure how much the procedure alone is and if this is really saving much if it should come to IFV.

Wow, that's nice you responded that well to clomid.
I think you will be saving a ton and that it is worth it!

Here is a break down of my clinic, just to give you an idea! I'm jealous, you will be saving a TON! Yay for you girl.

How are you feeling jlh1980??

I'm feeling good today, I spent time with my family this weekend so that was a nice distraction. Usually the first week is easy for me to tolerate since I know it takes around 7 days to implant, its the second week that I find to be torture! I think I'm going to call tomorrow and sign up for the IVF class in the event that his IUI doesn't work.

Unexplained infertility
Me 32 DH 34, TTC for almost 1 year
Jan 2013 Femara 5mg, timed intercourse BFN
Feb 2013 Femara 7.5mg, IUI BFN
March 2013 Femara 7.5 mg, with back to back IUI's, now in the 2ww

Happy Sunday night friends!

TOMORROW MORNING I TEST.

I cant believe this. I want it to be here so I can know, but I also kind of DONT want to know in case it's bad news too.

Either way, I will update. You've all been such a huge support to me, I want to share whatever it is with you too.

How the HECK will I ever sleep??

Good luck tomorrow, we are all rooting for you!!!

 

[StayHopeful]

Lots of for you sunshine! Good luck, we're praying for you!

 

[Bma11]

Sunshine - can't wait to find out! I'm hoping & praying for a bfp!!!

 

[Sunshine24]

Just got back from my blood draw and the nurse told me I won't know until about 4pm today because they are so busy! usually they have results in 2 hours.....HOW THE HECK CAN I WAIT THAT LONG!? AHHh!!

So, if you're looking for updates, I probably won't even be able to post until later tonight. But thanks so much for all your thoughts and prayers--I'm ready for whatever comes my way later today!

 

[Bma11]

NO!!!!!! Lol how could they even do that to you?!?? Awe man... You are way stronger than me. I'd POAS by now

 

[SashimiMimi]

Oh I can't take this!!! I can't wait to hear the results!!!!

 

[PinkPeony]

OMG!! Are you kidding me?? That's like a cruel joke to make you wait that long.

 

[fisher640]

I'm not sure I'm able to wait that long for your results. Let them know I'm 9 months pregnant and emotional and they need to get a move on with this results. This is serious business. Don't be delaying. Id totally call them before 4 to see if they have them yet, you don't want the office to close and them to "forget" to call you til tomorrow or something.

 

[SashimiMimi]

I think they made me wait all day as well for my beta results. They said any time before 5 and I got the call at 3:30. Longest day ever. But you need to tell them there are women all over the world waiting on these results!

BMA thank you so much! this was so nice of you to type out. I really appreciate this.

4pm oh my..goodness! praying for you Sunshine!!!!

 

[Sunshine24]

Well, results are in, and it's hard to even type clearly as I shake and try to remain calm and not run around screaming with joy.....






I am so happy, shocked, delighted, and over the moon!!

Found out about 2 hours ago ( so I dont know if that 4pm thing was just so I wouldnt expect a super early call or what?? ) , I first had to drive to DH's office to tell him before I posted here!! I called him from outside and said, " Please come outside I have something to give you." He came outside and I just handed him a note that said " YES." He was like--you mean?? We are? You mean?? YOURE PREGNANT>????

After almost 2 years of trying to conceive, 4 failed IUI's, surgery, tears, heartache, and this IVF----we have our BFP.

It's early days I know...so please continue to pray--I am still so cautious!! I could not have gotten here in one sane piece without all of you, so THANK YOU!

 

[fisher640]

*******AGHHHHhHhHHhh!!!!!!*******

[Bma11]

OMG girl! I'm in tears I'm so happy for you! Literally TEARS!

At first my heart dropped as I read the first lines cause you said shaky and I got scared, but so glad you got your

 

[SashimiMimi]

Yes!!! Sunshine this is amazing!!! Thank you for sharing! I had such a bad weekend and this is the kind of good news I needed to hear.

I'm so happy! I bet you will go in for periodic beta tests to make sure the levels are rising and have your first scan in 2-3 weeks!!
