I'm out had spotting last night then AF started properly this morning. Not surprised as we didn't have the IUI because of the over stimulation. Need to call the clinic, next step is IVF but not till next January as I have no more time I can take off school without getting paid. So hopefully when I finish in December for Xmas I can go for the meeting to get our mess and discuss treatment then start either over Christmas or in January.

So depressed, 22 months of trying, not a twinge of a pregnancy. And on the day I get my period I find out another friend is pregnant with her second baby. I feel like it will never be me.

 

[MrsG2010]

Hey cupcakesarah I'm sorry.

 

[brassy]

Really sorry cupcake! I really hope that you get a natural bfp in the meantime.
Wouldn't an iui with lower dosage of medication be an option for you?
Me and DH are the only childless couple among our close friends, I know how you are feeling....

 

[GettingBroody]

So so sorry Cupcake

 

[MrsPTTC]

Aleja! Any updates on you chick?

Thinking of you Aleja

 

[snowflakes120]

I am so very sorry Cupcake. Many hugs to you!

 

[MrsG2010]

I hope you are feeling better today cupcakesarah. I have been trying exactly as long as you have and completely understand your frustrations. I echo what brassy said... Perhaps a lower dose for a new shot at IUI.

How's everyone else doing? I'm still waiting for AF to start my 2nd IUI on 25 mg Clomid.

It's nice that you preggo ladies are hanging with us. Some of us ladies have been around since May of 2011 and I'm really rooting for all of you, new and original. I think this is a nice community we have here. Thanks to you all.

 

[GettingBroody]

I'm not going anywhere til we all have our BFPs!!!!! and

Hello ladies!
Did I tell you I got AF while on progesterone? According to my dr af wouldn't show up unless I finished all my pills. However she appeared on the original expected date. It is so far the strangest af I have ever had. After spotting for three days it started full flow on Saturday...and it was FULL flow...
This cycle wasn't longer as I originally thought, so we will be ttc sooner than expected. I have mixed feelings about this...We will try two months naturally and then if nothing we will start clomid.
My acupuncturist is back from China so I will be having acu again on thursday and will get a new prescription for chinese herbs.
Also, this is day 4 on a gluten free diet. Not too hard so far, waiting to feel the results..
Aleja, how are you? How is everyone else?

 

[MrsG2010]

Brassy, what are you eating on the gluten free?

Well ladies AF arrived yesterday, cycle #21 began. I left message for the nurse yesterday hoping to get day 3 scan done on day 4 which is Saturday. I haven't told my boss about any of this and I don't want to. So going to appointments on Saturdays whenever possible would be great!

I am one month from the 2 year mark..........

 

[cupcakesarah]

Me too MrsG, just over a month till it's 2 years!!! Grrrrrrrrrr. It's just really upsetting.

Me too MrsG, just over a month till it's 2 years!!! Grrrrrrrrrr. It's just really upsetting.

to both of you, I was dreading that 2 year mark, and it was actually still a bit upsetting when I reached the 2yr milestone this month (if I hadn't of got my BFP that is..) x

 

[mk8]

Hang in there cupcake and Mrsg!

Mrsg- do you think u will try injectables?

X

 

[MrsG2010]

I have my ultrasound set for Saturday to get me started. It's day 4 but since I'm off work I asked if I could come in then anyway. I will start Clomid, 25 mg on Saturday.

Mk, The nurse told me an injectables cycle is $3,500 ($2,000 more than Clomid cycle). Soooo I don't know. I would also be worried about too many follicles. I did get 3 on 50 mg of Clomid.

My hopes: I REALLY REALLY REALLY hope this IUI works. And I want to get through this cycle (taking mornings off) without work knowing why.

Mrs G and Cupcake

Have faith girls. Hopefully it will happen soon for all of us...

MrsG, so far going gluten free wasn't too hard. We will see in the long term. I have bought gluten free flour. I am making my own bread and it's not too bad. I also found gluten free pasta and rice noodles. Quinoa is good for a couscous replacement and it is supposed to be a superfood as well. Sweets and cakes are out of the picture too, but I had already eliminated those because of my gerd.
Are you thinking of going gl. free? My ibs symptoms have already disappeared. I am waiting to feel better overall. Unfortunately I caught a bad cold and feeling crap at the moment (at the right moment right before ov ).

What are they checking for in day 3 scan? Follies? GL with the ultrasound. I too hope that this iui is going to be a success for you
