Anyone doing IUI?

[maybe_baby_]

Yay! Excited that we can wait it out together, Sav & Montana! I will give you SO much credit if you can hold off! I will definitely be testing.. I admittedly have no self control. I bought some ICs so I can test out the trigger, and once I know it's out of my system (depending on how many dpo I am), I'll pick a day to test with a FRER. It's been months since I've poas... I feel entitled to this!!! LOL

DH and I had a trip to Mexico planned with my family in January which I am now in the process of trying to cancel because of Zika concerns. I asked my RE for a letter that said I couldn't travel because I am under her care, and I just received the letter which says I can't travel because of pregnancy. I hope she ends up being right!!! haha

Not 100% sure why they want me on bc for my month off other than they can control the cycle and the days. Kinda weird and makes me sad we can't try naturally at least. We also have a family trip booked for march which I am worried about. Not planing on cancelling just yet just in case.

I am so excited for you ladies and you tww's. It's a stressful but exciting time!

I spoke with my RE and they said they like to sync up all the ladies so they can clump together all the OR appointments, hence the birth control.

Oy - I am a hormonal mess today. I've cried at my desk TWICE now. yikes. Get me outta here so I can get home to my sweatpants!

Yeah I figured it was something stupid like that. I am not doing it until I talk to them tomorrow. The pharmacy gave me three months I was like uh, wtf and of course the clinic didn't provide any instructions to the pharmacy so I have no idea if I take it straight through or stop for a period or what. Makes no sense to me I know when I ovulate and I ovulate every month so again wtf

Sorry you are crying at work 😢 that stinks! Not much longer and you can stress about the tww lol

My co-worker took pity on me and got me some chocolate. I almost thought to tell her that I had taken clomid and I'm not actually THAT crazy - but I just let it go. haha.

Only two days until scan time! I'm quite curious what it'll show - mainly in regards to my lining. I don't know why but for some reason I'm concerned it's too thin. I sometimes have really short periods and am wondering if that ever impeded implantation. Of course, this would be a good thing to identify as it can then be addressed. I can't even begin to say how relieved I am to have a monitored cycle for once - takes all the (or, at least some of the) guessing away.

 

[S_secret]

Yay two days! Not long now. I worry about thin lining too. Just doesn't make sense to me that after 27 cycles I couldn't have even one fertilized egg. So I chalk that up to not implanting, thin lining.

I am so excited for you!

How is everyone doing???

I am 9dpo today. I have felt a little nauseous today so I decided to test. I gave a very faint line. I tested out the trigger so I'm fairly sure it's not from that, but I'm not saying BFP just yet. Going to test again tomorrow morning!

 

[S_secret]

Oh boy! Crossing my fingers for you! Hope it gets darker

 

[carolinalocs]

Good luck! Fingers crossed!

 

[maybe_baby_]

Fingers crossed for you, Montana!!! I hope you have a huge BFP to show us tomorrow!!

I am 7 dpiui.. still testing out the trigger. I had almost tested out by 5dpt, but I had blood work Thursday (3dpiui) to check progesterone levels. RE confirmed I ovulated but said levels were a bit lower than they'd like them to be to sustain an early pregnancy, so I triggered again on Thursday night. Apparently it's supposed to stimulate the corpus luteum to up the progesterone production, and judging by the way my boobs feel, boy is it working!! LOL I'm now 4 days past the last trigger, and the tests are getting lighter. Beta is scheduled for Monday, but planning to test over the weekend as long as the trigger is out of my system by then. Hoping we get some good news in time for Christmas!!!

Maybe baby- I am taking progesterone twice per day. I never had my progesterone tested, but the RE prescribes it for all of his patients. I've heard of women taking HCG to boost their progesterone though. I'm sure it will do the trick.

Thank you everyone. It's so nice to have people to share with!
I tested again this morning and got a second line again, this time a little darker. Will test again tomorrow and then go in for beta on Friday!

 

[Savasanna]

omgosh! Montana! How exciting!!

Did you test again this morning? Is it darker?

Nothing to report on my end. My wife and I decided we're going to test next Thursday so that's still ages away. I sort of already feel like this didn't work, so I'm not really sitting around biting my nails in anticipation. We actually went ahead and ordered our IUI vial for next month yesterday and I have an appointment with my RE on Thursday to discuss how this month went and make any recommendations for next month. Between that and taking care of a sick baby I haven't really had a ton of time to dwell on this tww. I'm only 3dpiui, though, so plenty of time to obsess!

 

[Montana]

Hey! I tested again and got a BFP! I got my beta done this morning, but only received my progesterone results today. They said I'll get my HCG results sometime tomorrow. Progesterone is 37.7 at 14dpo. Is that good?

 

[Montana]

I know the feeling. We traveled 6 hours and stayed in a hotel room with my 2 boys, one sick with a fever. The weekend was so busy carrying the boys around. Between that and wearing two sets of spanx under my bridesmaid dress, I was sure I wouldn't get pregnant this cycle. But you just never know.

 

[Savasanna]

Congrats! That's amazing!! I'm 7dpiui today, so still too early to know anything. Hope to be in your shoes in 5 days though!

 

[Montana]

HCG is 111!

 

[Savasanna]

Great number! When is the next beta?

 

[Montana]

Beta was this morning. Will get results tomorrow morning (they're slower on sundays).

 

[Savasanna]

Fx for you!!

 

[maybe_baby_]

Wow, so excited for you!

I am having quite the opposite day. CD 1 today. Onto IUI #2.
