39 and trying to conceive:-(

PositiveUS - great news!! When will you be able to take a pg test? FX'd for two sticky beans!!!

I had my temp increase this morning, so I'm officially 1DPO. Thank goodness because I don't think DH or I could stand to BD one more time It will be so nice to go to bed and.....go straight to sleep

My official blood test on Monday, 6/11.
I will, however probably take a FRER on saturday and sunday or something like that.
For now, I am just waiting for every trace of hcg to be out of my system by taking tests every day. I think tomorrow it will be a definite negative.
I started temping this weekend again even though I hate it. And even though progesterone supplements will make temps higher than they would normally be. I guess I either want to torture myself or I want to see if I get a temp dip that might indicate implantation dip.
I don't feel nervous but I must be.

If I'm really cracked out by Saturday, I can always go to an Anylabtest now site and get a beta hcg test without a doctor's order and just pay the $50.
I know it sounds crazy but I just may do it!

 

[trying4four]

Try not to stress
I think the fact that you were able to transfer two is great!!

 

[Bonnie1990]

thats great news on the transfer-the wait must be even harder after IVF i would think......and you can walk in and get a lab! wow!

3dpo for me.......wait wait wait.........

 

[PositiveUs]

Good luck everyone!
And if no one has gotten a post coital test to check to see if the sperm are able to live in the CM, then I think it's a great test to get and not painful, just a swab they do a few hours after BD just before O.

 

[Bonnie1990]

No. Only test I have had is a few day 3 labs. Nothing else yet.

greenjelly-Yes, I had my 3rd IUI on April 25th and am still in the TWW but not feeling very hopeful. I have all of my pre-AF symptoms just like every other month. I'm trying to stay calm and keep positive but I know in my heart it did not work. So we are done with assisted tries. My doc said there is no need to do more IUIs. Everything was optimal this month and he said if it doesn't work, it's time to explore other options. We can't afford IVF so we will continue to try naturally until 2/2013 then we are done.

Just catching up on the boards. How are things Casper? Have you felt before that you thought the IUI had worked? My friend told me you have a feeling when you are PG, even before you know for sure. I dont think I am terribly in tune with my body so Im not sure I would know. I definitely havent really thought "I'm PG this month" before although Ive had odd symptoms that I have thought might mean "maybe"...
I do hope your IUI was successful.

Becoming doubtful about this ivf cycle.
I don't feel anything.
This is implantation week but I can't tell if anything is going on.
I KNOW its too early to tell but I have this fear that the embryos aren't even there anymore.
This TWW is starting to really get bad now.

Don't worry. I know people who were three and four MONTHS pregnant and had no idea! It's perfectly normal to feel nothing. I think it's going to work for you

Yes, how are you Casper? Thinking about coming up north?

I'm sure if I were in your shoes I would be freaking out with the wait.
Still don't know if I could go that route. Everything is crossed for you and we are here to listen.

I don't know if I should start testing hpt friday or saturday. The transfer was 5/30, so I think that makes this 7dp2dt which is too early to test. By friday I will be 9dp2dt which is pushing it. I guess, if I can wait, I will test saturday which will be 10dp2dt using a FRER which can detect something like 15-20 hcg levels.
To be honest, I feel like starting tomorrrow!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
I just might!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Sorry I'm so self consumed.
Hope everyone is doing well and incubating.

With your fsh being so good, maybe you won't have to resort to ivf. Mine was 10.3 and 8.9. Idk what your amh level is, but if that's good too and you have no blocked tubes or endo or fibroids, it may just be a waiting game. Is your TSH good too? What about spermies?
I still suggest the post coital test (being the doctor that I am) so you can see if your CM is competent enough for the sperm to live in and make it past that first barrier, the cervix.
If this cycle doesn't work, I am going to get that test done.

 

[Bonnie1990]

I also had prolactin and TSH tested and they were also good.
Nothing else yet for either of us. DB said we shouldn't worry until July and he is right. I have meet with gyn though and all I have to do is call and they will set up an hsg and sa. He did not suggest a post-coital. How soon after do they need to test? Distance is an issue for us. I am scared to get the hsg.
If all clear then we can do the clomid/iui route in the office. I have no insurance coverage for infertility treatments though we haven't talked yet about how invasive we want to get. Financially we are ok to do it if we want.

Try an hold out if you can on testing. I know it's easier said than done though. I'm such a poas addict. Happiness to capture that first glimmer of a line.

I saw the fertility doctor today and they are gonna monitor my hormones and do a sonogram to make sure my tubes arent blocked next month. My hope is I get pregnant this cycle and dont even do the test. June

You may have seen from my other posts but I don't need to. I got a natural BFP this month after 3 failed IUIs!!! Hopefully it is a sticky bean.
