BFP! (begging to be fat and pregnant)

[mrskcbrown]

hello girls,

Amber, I loved your happy post, I am so excited about you, dear!!! how is your temp today?

Mrskcbrown, getting pregnant is not a race, if TTC a couple more months without IUI is absolutely alright with you, than why spend a lot of money now, but if you are frustrated for LTTC and it is harder and harder every month, I think you should try the IUI. I was told that conceiving with PCO may take longer even if you have an ovulation (which is excellent you have). How many rounds of clomid can you take in your country?

Kat, you have a great man!!! Mine is very excited, too.
I am happy for your temp! I don't measure my temp, because I am not a good sleeper, so I am jealous you have some good sign in your hand!))

Im not sure but I think you can do 6 months consistently. I have been on it at least 2 yrs on and off. Never consistently. Like I didnt take it in January and just took it this April. I just give myself breaks in between. We have been TTC 14 months and I feel like we might need to speed the process up a bit because I am 35 and he will be 37 very soon. We would like to have 4 kids together but if God blesses us with just one, I will forever give him praise.

So we decided to go thursday and see what all we need to do to get prepared to do the IUI. Ill keep you all posted!

Good luck Mrskcbrown

Amber and Jolene my temp dropped today too but no pimples lol...

 

[amberdawn723]

Kat- Lucky you!!! I still have my FX'd for all of us!

No and til shows.

Hey ladies sorry your temps are low I tested this morning at 13dpo and ughhh and im still spotting i just wish af would get me already

 

[Juniper]

I am sorry all you ladies are having a rough time today. Remember, its not over til the witch shows up. Hang in there and try to maintain a PMA.

Hey, lovelies. I am sorry I haven't been around in a bit, but it was an awful weekend and I've been pretty down in the dumps. Still feeling crappy at the moment.

Today is 15DPIUI. I just POAS and got an expected . I will be calling the fertility dr in the morning to let them know. I don't know if they will still want me to come in to do a blood HCG, but I'm going to ask them if there's a way they can tell me if I definitely ovulated. I know my 2 eggs were good size and 2 days before IUI they said my LH was high so that I'd O on my own. For some reason, I want to know...I guess I need to know that my body did it's thing and that our BDing and IUI just wasn't enough this time. *sigh*

No sign of AF either because I've been taking progesterone suppositories so now my cycle has been extended by a week and a half.

I hope everyone else is doing better than I. I will have to go back and catch up, but for now I think I'm going to lay down. Feeling kinda nauseous.

xoxo

 

[Kat_F]

xoxox Stace.... Go and get your bloods done they are much more accurate than POAS
then the Dr can tell you what next lovey Maybe the egg came and the spermies just weren't compatible this time around?

I had a thought.. my temp drop today could be implantation dip lol.. ahhh prob not I'm not holding my breath this month.

And 3 zits have surfaced today just as I was thinking there were no pimples...

 

[Jolene]

Damn pimples, lol.

Kat, that's exactly what I was thinking aobut my temp dip yesterday coz it's right back up today, but I don't think I can get an id at 11DPO??

Sorry Stace about your bfn. I'd still go for the blood test if I were you. Those hpt's aren't always reliable.

 

[amberdawn723]

Stace- Sorry about your BFN. Definitely call the doctor and see what they can tell you. Lots of love your way!

Jolene & Kat- It's sounds like we're all in the same boat. How funny. Pimples over here too and my temp went back up a bit today. Don't know what to think. FF predicts AF tomorrow so we shall see.

Brooke- So sorry for your BFN. Praying for a BFP or AF for you soon!

 

[BWilliams]

I think af got me today my spotting is getting a little heavy and light cramping...Im kinda excited she got me i was starting to think i was going to spot forever ugh

Hi Stace. SOrry to hear about your struggles with the IUI. I was really hoping that you got a + test. I know how you feel as I went 19 days after ovulation just to get a BFN as well. I go to my fertility specialist on thursday to start the IUI process but Im a bit worried because of the above you stated. I dont want to pay money just for it to end in the same heartbreak.
If you dont mind me asking, why did you do IUI? Male factor problems, ovulation problems, etc? As for me, we are trying it because we have been trying for 14 months and nothing. One semen analysis said my hubby had low morphology, the second one said good morphology but low volume. I know its not me because I do have PCOS but I have been ovulating every month since last year.

Im trying to make the decision to do the IUI or take my chances until we make 24 months of TTC. I know we could never afford IVF. How much was your IUI? Ours will be 600+.

Thanks for your responses!

Thanks for the support, everyone. Took another test a half hour ago and another . I called the dr office and they said they still want me to come in tomorrow and get the bloodwork hcg done. I am really not going to get my hopes up, though. I can't deal with much more in my life right now.

Hi, mrskcbrown. Thanks for your support as well. That's really sweet. As for my IUI, I got it because I've been trying for awhile and I have ovulation problems. This was the first time I've Oed in MONTHS, so my dr wanted to take advantage of it and increase my chances anyway he could. My dh's sperm is awesome, so he's not the issue at all.

I think even though it didn't work on our first try, I would definitely suggest an IUI to others. My insurance actually covered mine, but my dh's insurance does not. They told me if I didn't have insurance that covered it, it would be $350. That's still steep to me since we're not rolling in money over here, but it's WAY less expensive than IVF. I hope I never get to that point of needing IVF because that's DEFINITELY unaffordable for us.

Will I do an IUI again? Most definitely. They say most people get pregnant within 3-6 tries of an IUI so I really want that chance. If I end up having to pay, then I'll find a way to borrow that money for 2 months (so I can say we tried IUI 3x) and maybe try natural after that.

I wonder why the IUI is so expensive where you are. You could call around to different clinics and check their prices because I know every place is different.

Hmm thats awesome that your insurance covered it. I dont think my insurance does but I am going to check. I think its about 350 but I dont know when looking at the sheet they had different types of IUI's, I guess where they had to do more stuff? Im not sure. Ill keep you posted. In my area, we only have one fertility clinic. Im in the Memphis, TN area. Im still going to check around. Thanks!

Hello everyone. I hope you're all doing well. I've just been doing what needs done...and hopefully we'll get a sticky one.

Good luck ladies!

 

[Jolene]

Hi Ladies,

I think I have a problem, lol. I can't stop taking my temp. I take it in the day now too coz I can't wait for the following morning - all I want to see is a temp rise I know it's not accurate but I took it 2days ago - 36.6 and the following am it was 36.4. Yesterday afternoon it was 36.8 and this am it was 36.7. I just checked it and it was 37.0 - I'm so hoping it will up to 36.8 tomorrow am. I have never had a bbt that high. What do you ladies think - please don't tell me I'm crazy or obsessive - this is the only place I feel semi-normal

 

[Juniper]

Jolene - I completely understand. You are not crazy. I will be praying for a high temp for you! I think that your chart looks good. By this time last month you were declining and there is no sign of that happening. Your temp today was really good. Hang in there. fx'd

 

[amberdawn723]

Jolene- I temp during the day too! Can't help it! FX'd that it does what you want it to!

I am getting really antsy and want to test......So hard not to. But I have to hold off til Finals are done....sigh.....wish this week would hurry up already. Just 4 and half days left.......

Hey Stace found out why its a bit more because they have to do an IUI day before and day after ovulation. Did they do this for you? The IUI starts at 345 though she told me. Thanks for your help!

 

[xSTACEx]

Ohh double IUI. I wish I had that, but they told me I only needed one. Not sure why when it sounds like 2 would be more helpful. I'll ask next time. Going tomorrow for blood HCG. Not getting my hopes up at all.

Good luck, mrskcbrown!
