Any SMEPers!!!! 43 Testers! 22 BFP!!!!

[BamBamsMaMa]

Tasha - Thanks, girl! It is hard to hear everyone is preggo but me. Even my bff's cousin (40 yo male) who has a 23 yo girlfriend are pregnant. This girl has no education, no job, dumb like you wouldn't believe and she is pregnant. She got pregnant so she doesn't have to go to school or get a job!!! I am just fed up. Glad to hear you are doing well.

Kristina - How was the shot? Was it painful? And where do you have to do the injection? My BD schedule is good but not perfect. I guess if its meant to be it wouldn't matter. I am just a ball of negativity. I keep trying to figure out why we are not pregnant yet. And I hate the idea of having to see a RE but I know I have to if it isn't happening on its own. I don't have any AF symptoms yet, still too soon. Only 6 DPO today but I feel too normal so I am already preparing for the worst. When do you go in for the actual IUI?

May, the shots go in my tummy about 2 inches under my belly. We rotate sides so I don't bruise or get too tender. They don't really hurt going in but when DH pulls it out, it stings a bit. I've had 3 so far...

Tasha-yup my appt is next wed! Thanks for thinking of me. So anxious for it already. And yes I'm in the states. Man that would suck to be in Canada and have to wait-I'm already going crazy waiting this long!!

Nothing at all to report, haven't even been bding or temping or ooking or anything!! Af comes next week around Tuesday. So just waiting patiently. I'm really hoping this lap resolves the issue bc I'm starting to think my decreased interest in sex over the last few years is due to the endo- bc during bd-ing I'm always on guard for fear of it hurting. It's not necessarily painful but I just fear one wrong move could send me screaming!! I've done some research and learned this to be true amongst a lot of women with endo. Dh has high needs in that respect so ive always worried I never met them and now I'm learning this might be why?! So im really hoping for the lap!

Welcome to the new ladies!!

Buttercup, do you have any idea how long it takes you to O after a +OPK? I would say every other day til you get the +! Good luck!

Tasha, I just gasped when I read cracked and ozzing nips....OUCH!! Im glad you are doing well. My bff had horrible indegstion throughout her pregnancy...that sucks...I hope its just a phase for you! to spring break (even with school work)

May, you know I always have gillter to throw!! Its waaayyy too soon to count yourself out. Many of ladies have no sx and are pregnant! How was your BD schedule? Do you usually have AF symptoms?

Dove Im glad to see youre doing well!

KDK, thats so flipping exciting. Im soo happy for you!

AFM, My RE told me that Im ok with the bleeding...its completly normal!!

Hey! Not sure when I o after +ve opk, but I got my +ve opk this afternoon so hopefully soon,

 

[buttercup_82]

Buttercup, don't do the morning OPKs, as LH is naturally higher then, and you want a true surge. Mid afternoon to early evening is the best. And I usually get ewcm in the few days leading up to an OPK, which is how it should be because the sperm need to get there to wait for the egg. So, that's why you're BD'ing every other day around the time before ov. The fertile window starts a few days before ov (but OPKs can only predict ov in the next 12-24 hours). There are people out there that take OPKs but never BD until they get a positive one, and that's why pregnancy may be difficult for them, as the egg may be on its way out by the time the sperm get there, whereas if you're SMEP'ing or at least BD'ing around the time ewcm starts, you have a better chance of the sperm being at the finish line when the egg is released.

Sorry for the novel.

I appreciate the novel ;-) sorry for all the silly questions

Well, we have been bd'ing every other night as per SMEP, and due to bd tonight......... Which is good cause got +ve opk this afternoon! Sooooo will bd tonight and next two nights

Hey Ladies!!

Buttercup: Welcome here!!!

Sunny: Thinking of you girl!! At least like the others have said you're finding some answers...but I understand that it's discouraging. Hang in there!! I really hope that was just a bad sample and the next SA gives better results! So why do they think you have pcos?? Do you have really long cycles or really bad periods??

Stacer: Another 9 days before your next apt, right?! I'm anxious for you! I hope it goes well! And wow!!!! They would schedule that lap really quickly! You must be in the States lol!! I think it would take much longer in Canada....

May: You're in the TWW now, aren't you?? How are you holding up??

Krys: You go girl!!!!!! DH is a real trooper for helping you out with the injections! 10 more days til ovulation!!! Then what?!

Dove: YAY for days off!!!!! You're due beginning of July right?? So that means you get only a month off work before the birth?? And you're too funny!!! I promise I'm faithfully following 9 weeks behind you--no short cuts!

AFM: Spring break this week!! Woohoo!!!...but not so much. I have all my term projects due afterwards, so it's a really discouraging week lol!! But hey, that's university life!

Tasha, RE said it is very mild. Could have developed very recently as my periods use to be pretty regular and never really bad. Lately I had some longer cycles. Re said the Femara should help as I have lots of follicles but they are small. I did ovulate on my one last cycle so hope the meds will help next cycle.

Krystina, why a trooper, I'm so excited for you and can't wait for details as I may need to go down that route.

May, it's still early, don't stress. You deserve some good news fXD.

Stacer, I hope everything gets resolved quickly and you can start actively trying again. I feel your pain around our bodies not cooperating.

Buttercup, yah for positive opk. Get beding.

Hey ladies so I know some of you are intrested in the IUI processs...so I am giving a mini synposis of whats been going on.

On CD4 I did b/w & and u/s and was told to start follistim injections of 75iu before bed for 5 days...I didnt get many s/e..until I decided to work out...my nurse told me to suspend working out becasue it can cause my ovary to tiwst...OUCH!!

On CD9 (today) DH & I went in for another u/s and more b/w (estrogen & LH). My left side has four folliclies measuring at 12mm, 13mm and 2- 14mm. My right side is, well, JACKED UP! But we've been banking on the leftside since the HSG...anyway the nurse said that I may need to stop taking the meds since I have 4 folliciles growing well but I need to wait for her call for sure. She thinks that I will probably get the trigger on Friday (the follies need to measure b/t 18 and 21mm) and go in for the IUI on Sunday. She also told me we can have sex like normal BUT when the I get the trigger I should only have sex that night (Friday) skip Saturday and IUI on Sunday!! Whoop Whoop!! The nurse feels really good about my progress!!

** when the nurse said I had 4 follies, DH almost fainted..he said "four babies" Ive never seen a black man turn white like he did when the nurse responded..."anythings possible" she went on to say multiples are a possibility BUT some women have 2 mature follies and dont get pregnant so she is comfortable with me maybe havign 4

 

[Tasha S.]

Krys, that's amazing!!!!! Sounds like you're responding really well to the IUI procedure!!! I'm so flipping excited!!! WOW!!!!! HAHAHAHA!! I laughed so hard when you said that your DH turned white with the possibility of FOUR!!! How do you feel?!?! Would you love to have multiples??...so that's this Sunday??? The nurse sounds really nice!! Can't wait to see what the end of this cycle brings....!!!

Thanks Tasha!! So I use to joke around about twins but Im really scared of multiples...LOL...I hoping for one healthy gummie 2 is ok, but 3...OMG...thats a bit much! How are you feeling?

 

[stacergirl]

Thanks for the update krystina! Super excited for you!! Hoping this IUi does the trick!!!!!

 

[MandaAnda]

OMG, you could be preggers at the weekend! Super excited for you!

 

[Tasha S.]

Thanks Tasha!! So I use to joke around about twins but Im really scared of multiples...LOL...I hoping for one healthy gummie 2 is ok, but 3...OMG...thats a bit much! How are you feeling?

HAHA!! I feel the same way Krys!! 2 is the limit!! Like, we don't even have 3 boobs, so how the heck are you supposed to feed three babies??? I'm a twin, and my mom used to feed both me and my twin sister at the same time, but the opposite way that most women breastfeed...so our heads would be pointing towards each other and our bodies would hug the sides of my mom LOL!!

I'm feeling okay!! I thought morning sickness was getting better (everyone says it's supposed to get better between 12-13 weeks) so I tried skipping out on my anti-nausea pills yesterday......Yann couldn't believe me! He was like: "Are you serious Tasha??" I was gagging left right and center LOL!! He ended up taking care of the meat for supper haha! It was kind of funny, although I'm glad to be back on the pills and feeling more stable today.

 

[snowflakes120]

Tasha - Sorry you still aren't feeling well. I really hope that MS is a thing of the past quite soon for you!!

Great update Krystina! Sounds like everything is going perfectly for you! Eh, don't worry about the 4. I know I had a good number of follicles on the CD9 US but some decided not to progress much further so then at the last US before the IUI (on CD13) I had 2 mature follicles (If I can remember - 18mm & 21mm) when I triggered that night on CD13 and did the IUI on CD15. One baby here! Your BD schedule is the same as mine too. FX for you guys!

May - Thinking positive thoughts for your awesome chart!

Buttercup - Get you man to bed!

 

[BamBamsMaMa]

Kristina - Thinking of you and hoping for the best that you'll get preggo by the weekend or early next week!!!!

 

[Sunny skies]

Krystina, thanks for all the details on the IUI. I'll be waiting for your BFP announcement soon.

 

[krystinab]

May, girl your chart looks awesome. Do you plan on testing soon?

Sunny, any updates?

AFM, I'm just on cloud 9. Trying not to set my self up for disappointment but I feel al good about this! I'm trying to be like Lisa...lol...seriously though I am.

I really don't have the urge to test. I think it's because I am so scared to be disappointed again. I usually get AF around 12-13 dpo so I only have another 4-5 days to go. Besides feeling a little bloated and nipple sensitivity, I really don't have much going on. Oh, and I think I have a yeast infection or irritation. Sooo annoying! Good luck with the IUI! It's great you feel good about it. Staying positive is key.

 

[Kdk24]

Krystina... Man oh man I'm I excited for you!!! This has got to be your cycle!!!
