lining is 8.3mm (or so) got two 2.something eggs on the right, two small and unlikely to mature ones on the left.. so overall not as good however last time there was one giant one and 4 small, this time both are likely to go. trigger tonight for friday.. i think im totally doing us tomorrow at work cause if i see fluid around the cyst or it collapses, im so going over there to do the iui tomorrow..

 

[DaisyQ]

to you Dr. Squid! GL! Awesome that you can get yourself checked out so easily. I would love to get a US early next week to confirm ovulation, but my doc doesn't do that, and if I demand it, I think he might think I'm CRAZY. Maybe I am, but I'm paranoid I'm not actually releasing eggs.

 

[drsquid]

heh my doc doesnt do it, and i dont wanna pay for it.. but.. with a good full bladder you can get a decent look transabdominal and oneof the us techs is happy to do it for me. she and i are working together all weekend so.. may check more than once =) she is also named kim which rocks

Sarah - good luck with the midwife today! I hope she can get your 12 week scan booked!!

Drsquid - are you doing IUI today?

AFM - still testing out the trigger and its still showing a positive. It was pretty faint yesterday so I thought that would be the end but that line is hanging in there. I'm 10 days past trigger - how long does it usually stick around?

I have to be honest and say - I kind of like seeing that trigger line as positive! Just feels nice. It could just stay positive and gradually turn darker and I would be happy!!

it takes 7 to 10 days to leave the system...but test again and see it go darker

I've definitely heard of other people testing out the trigger, and it never going away... hope that's the case for you!

So I had my IUI today. I think it went OK - it was totally painless anyway. I asked how the sample was, and the doctor said the count was good, but didn't say more. I feel like he gives me the least amount of info possible. Dh's first and only SA had lowish morph (6%), so I'm a little concerned. I may call there later to see if the nurse can tell me more. I had also assumed he would be doing another sono to see if my follies had ruptured, but he didn't grr. Dying to know if I've ovulated yet or not.

I've been having "pains" - kind of like sharp little twinges in my ovaries since last night. It started around 8pm last night on the left side, and I felt it again at 5am this morning. Now I'm having it more on the right side. It comes and goes. I was wondering if these pains meant I had ovulated already (at least from the left side), and was hoping that temping would tell me if I've ovulated yet, but my temps are wacky: 97.08 (normal pre O temp) at 6 am, and 97.5 (normal post O temp) at 7 am, which is my normal time. Usually my temps don't vary too much, so such a huge fluctuation in one hour is really strange. Wonder if I popped on egg last night or early this morning, and the other is rupturing now?

Finally, They only let me lie down for 5 minutes after. I did feel some stuff come out about ten minutes later, which worries me...

As for the timing of the IUI, I had been stressing about it being too soon (24 hours after trigger). I'm hoping that because my follies were so big/mature, perhaps (maybe??) the trigger would work faster than if they were smaller? No idea if that's actually true, but it's what I'm telling myself. That plus the fact that we can still BD tonight, plus the fact that the washed sperm should live at least 24 hours - I think I'm good. I do hope to see a big time temp rise tomorrow though. Feeling guardedly hopeful...

hockey how many dpt are you now? I started getting an ultra faint line 4dp and as I had not had the trigger I knew it was the real thing. but I only trust frer, for me the internet cheapies didnt show much till later.

on my fresh cycle it was hard to tell if the line every went away 100%, almost as if there is something lingering. but once you see it fade in darker its exciting. on my fresh cycle it got a bit darker but never got really dark, so I had a hunch.

so exciting

my apt is in 3 hours, yikes

Sarah - I'm 3DPT so 8DPO - so a little early for HCG I would think but hoping in the next couple days I start seeing that line get darker. The line did look a tad bit darker today than yesterday but I think that was my eyes playing tricks on me and telling me what I wanted to see. But I'm loving the testing every day thing - gives me something to look forward to and I love seeing the positive test - false or not!

Good luck with your appointment today! So exciting to be moving forward with your process no matter how minor the appointment. Its another step in the journey forward and that is so wonderful!!

DaisyQ - that sounds extremely frustrating but I think you have to trust in your doctor and then like crazy as extra insurance!!!

Post the pics of the tests hockey!!!!

I loved that part too! especially when they start coming in darker and theres even a difference between morning and night tests. the good thing with a 5 day transfer is that you dont have to wait that long for results.
oh I hope this has worked for you, come on beanies!

 

[drsquid]

hockey- fingers crossed

my iui is tomorrow.. im all paranoid today cause im horny (which im usually not). makes me worry that my body is saying... inseminate me. . which i cant do til tomorrow am.. going to get an us later to make sure the follies are still there.. calling doc if they arent, cause they were there at 10am yesterday

Post the pics of the tests hockey!!!!

Will take pics when I get home tonight!

 

[GreenFingers]

Ohhh Hockey, I really hope that line keeps getting darker x x

 

[hockey24]

Ok so here are my tests for the last 3 days. I can definitely see more of a line on the 3rd day. But then I just took another one tonight and the line is extremely faint. So maybe this means the trigger is almost gone? Or morning urine is better?
