I have been praying for you all along Krys... haven't stopped!
I am so excited for tomorrow.. I can't wait to log on!
 
Just popping by to wish you good luck tomorrow krystina... I'm so excited and anxious that I might not be able to sleep!!! Keeping you in my thoughts and ill try to check my posts troughs the work day!
 
Hey ladies! Thanks for all of your well wishes. Went this morning to do the BW...they should be calling me sometime this afternoon...fx I post something positive in a few hours!!
 
Kristina - Can't wait to hear your good news!

Tasha - I think Fertilaid for me. Has folic acid. How much are they supposed to take? Good you are feeling better with nausea. I didn't know coconut water is supposed to help! I love coconut water!

Jess - your daughter is so cute! I love seeing her pics on FB!

AFM - CD 14 today. Just started BD-ing last night. I have been so lazy with this cycle that I haven't even check my BBT till this morning and I haven't even done a OPK yet! For those of you who is/was preggo, what was your BD schedule like around O? What days did you BD? How far apart was each BD?
 
Krystina, FXd for you.

Dove, your 3d scan is so cool, congrats.

May, sounds like bot our DH's are taking similar supplements, only difference is my DH takes concerts xr instead of fertilaid. I gues in 2 months he can get another SA to see if its helped. I totally Understand how frustrating the bding schedule is especially with male factor issues, I now worry if its too much bding. It feels like such a science, but every 2 days is what I've heard is the best in terms of timing but they also say even outside the fertile window you should bed regularly. Good luck this cycle May.

AFM, I'm a little upset with RE office, I tried to get my cd 3 appointment yesterday but I couldn't get through and they didn't call back. I just dropped in but nurse said I need ultrasound and blood before giving me the Femara. They can only see me Tuesday so I will have to start Femara in cd5. They told me any day between Cd 3 a-5 is ok but I'm disappointed. Sometimes it feels like I'm just a number at this fertility centre. I would switch but I don't want to go through all the testing again and it's the most convenient in terms of their hours snd location. I just need some good news soon, feeling very discouraged. Sorry for the rant.
 
Sunny, you have to make yourself seen. I felt the same way with my re. so i decided to always sit down with a nurse after my scans. even if i knew the info i still asked...i wanted her to remember i was the lady that was on top of everything. But on a good note The start date for meds is from cd2 to cd5. So you should be just fine.

May, we were told to have sex the 2 days before the iui, and the day of the iui...but we only did it the day before the iui....I think it depends on the sperm quality....look on countdowntopregnacy.com they have a tool that tells you the best time based on a bunch of different variables
 
May - For my IUI, starting on day 10 I was to BD every other day. Once my follies were the right size, I was told to trigger and BD that same night. Skip the next day (for hubby to replenish his swimmers). Hubby did his thing in the AM at the RE office, IUI was done 36 hours after trigger shot. BD night of IUI as well. Hope this helps.

Krystina - Just stalking the thread looking for your update!!!
 
thanks ladies for all of you love and support but its just not time for us...I am not sure if we are going to jump right back in or take a break. But I REALLY appreciate all of you! Good luck to everyone testing soon. I think Im going to take a lil break from BNB while I wait for AF and while she's here. Just need some time to reflect on everything...
 
I've not been here long but I'm so excited for your news krystina!
We've done the last bd of our first smep cycle today. Feeling more positive this month :)

Sending you hugs!!!!
 
Oh Krystina. I am so very sorry. I am sending you the biggest warmest hugs right now. I don't know what to say. I understand that you need some time - we are here for you when you are ready to come back. :hugs:
 
Krystina, take all the time you need, I'm sorry it's not your time yet. Thinking of you hugs.
 
Kristina - I hopped on here as soon as I can and hoped to see your BFP. I am so sorry this isn't your month but you will get pregnant. Maybe you just need to do another IUI again when you are ready. Whatever you decide, we are here for you. I know you must be angry and hurt. I am too, for you. Life is so not fair but keep your head up. God had a plan for all of us. Love you!

Sunny - I don't know if its a good idea for DH to take Fertilaid and Maca. What do you think? DH actually ran out of Fertilaid so we are using Maca as a substitute along with a multi-vitamin, zinc and CoQ10. I actually started taking CoQ10 cuz of you!!! Thanks for the suggestion. I hope our DH's sperm count goes up with all these supplements.

Lisa - Do you think I can BD every other day when my DH has slight low count?

My re prescribed the maca CoQ10 and conception XR, for low count and slightly low motility. I don't know what's in the ferilaid but here's a breakdown of the conception XR 2 x day

Vitamin C 500 mg
Vitamin D3 1000 IU
Vitamin E 400 IU
Folic 1000mg
Selenium 200 mg
Lycopene 10 mg

Too much zinc is the only thing I came across as a possible problem. Maca is natural so I think it's fine unless the ferilaid already has Maca. I wonder if they're similar. I paid about 80 dollars for 200 pills, so it's pricey. It better be worth it.
 
Sunny - looks like Conception XR has higher doses of those vitamins you listed than Fertilaid. I also read too much Zinc can be toxic that's why I only bought the 25mg one since Fertilaid already has 30mg in it. Now I am considering maybe having DH switch to Conception XR. The Maca was a bit pricey especially since DH has to take 3 per day. Did you get ConceptionXR® Reproductive Health Formula or the one with mobility support?
 
So sorry Kristyna.....hopefully, 2nd time lucky for you. We'll be here when you're ready:flower:
