Heading to the DR's shortly! At first I thought it was lighter, but actually now that i'm seeing it and I've let it rest, it looks darker.... so i suppose everything is going in the right direction.

CLEARLY a BFP!!! Can't wait to hear your update!

Hello

i am new to this site, just wondering if anyone knows the cost of a iui in halifax, ns

 

[zeezee]

Casey - congraters!!!!! This is super exciting and I am so happy for you hon!

How's everyone coping? MarsMaiden and MrsSunshine - how is that tww? Britt, how you feeling?

I am now 3dpiui, and 4 days post trigger shot. I am having pulling and cramping again, so am fairly certain this cycle is yet another bust. Sigh. I think I am going to go natural for the next one or two cycles so my body can get its mojo back.

DR said my hCG levels are great. They are at 104 and i'm 4 weeks. So she said that was a great starting number.

I go back thursday to make sure it goes up.

Hi everyone!
Huge congrats Casey! Those numbers sound great...nice and sticky! I'm 9 dpiui and feeling like I'm out...was a bit of a dumbass today and tested BFN!
Feeling rather grumpy so i figure PMS is starting. Monday is a loooong time away to wait and know for sure. *sigh* why did I test so early?

 

[MarsMaiden]

Charger - sorry I can't help you with costs but just wanted to welcome you and say Hi!

Zee - I have no clue what my body is doing to me and it's making the tww a total pain! Had pink spotting through Tuesday and Wednesday (12 and 13 dpiui) but no sign of full AF so far. Tested this morning (14dpiui) just in case but BFN so I guess there is nothing to do but wait, I'm sure she'll get here in her own sweet time! Good luck for your cycle, it's pretty early for any symptoms to be indicative either way but I'm sure you know your own body too. Fingers crossed anyway, just in case!

mrssunshine - any news yet? How you feeling hon?

missmarls - don't beat yourself up, you wouldn't be the first to give in to the POAS temptation! I tested myself at 9dpiui telling myself it was just to check the trigger was out of my system. Of course it wasn't and I got a false positive and a bit more stress! At least you know though that any BFPs you get from now will def be the real thing!! Good luck!

Hi all

I am on my 5th cycle of clomid, i am currently cycle day 21, I doubt that this month worked as the previous 4 did not. By the way I ovulate on my own and have no blocked tubes or any other issues, just can not concieve,

 

[mrssunshine78]

welcome charger 22, i'm same as you, we have no issues just can't get pregnant - good luck to you

mars - any news yet?

af arrived this morning - day late so annoying, going to a wedding today too and just feel like absolute crap, bad pains, all bloated - thank god for spanx!!!!

wallie - where are you at the moment? are you waiting to try iui again?

hope everone else is doing ok

xx

 

[MarsMaiden]

Hi Charger, we are unexplained also and after more tahn 2 and a half years, it's all getting pretty tiring! Have you had clomid with IUI this cycle or clomid alone? Good luck!

hey mrssunshine - I am waiting for AF to show which should be any minute! I've been spotting since Tuesday and definite BFNs so really just want to get it all over with now! It's funny how much you can want AF to show once you know the cycle has failed. Sorry that your cycle also failed again but you did make me lol with the spanx comment - thank god indeed!

So I will be seeing in my 32nd birthday on Monday at the tail end of yet another period which is just about the most depressing birthday ever! Hopefully by then I'll be over this feeling of depression and wasted time and will be feeling positive again for the next cycle. I hope so!

Hi everyone and hi to the newbies on here.

Nothing new with me really, just waiting out this cycle because of the cyst. I'm not even sure I've ovulated this cycle as normally have get really quite sore boobs and I'm just not feeling anything just now even though I thought I was 3DPO. Even had some EWCM today!? So who knows. If all goes to the normal plan/cycle I should be expecting AF around 29th August, then the roller coaster starts again.

I'm slowly losing hope in IUI though, just don't trust the hospital with it all. I'm going to have to pluck up the courage to actually speak to OH about paying for IVF after this next IUI, if unsuccessful. I just can't see me waiting until October 2011 for IVF on the NHS. I'll be a nurotic idiot by then. I just wish something would work for us all.

 

[Charger22]

Hi

I am clomid only for 6 cycles, if i am not pregnant by Sept 22, i go to see the fertility specialist again and i think iui will be the next step, I don't know much about it, I hope it is not too expensive. I am getting tired of trying as well, seems like forever, month after month of disappointment gets so depressing.

 

[Flake-y]

Hi girls, hope you don't mind if I join you!

I'll be getting IUI very soon (hopefully a few weeks!) & am wanting to know everything about it!

Unfortunately, my DH & I are having to use donor sperm as we found out last month that he is infertile.

Wallie, I see you are from Scotland too; the NHS waiting lists here for IVF totally suck! We're going private so we'll probably be bankrupt after all this but hopefully it'll be worth it.

 

[mrssunshine78]

Happy birthday mars - did the witch arrive? or did you have happy news for your birthday? i'm 32 too, we've been trying for 3 yrs, and every birthday i'm the same, af is always interfering, wish she'd just stay away

wallie i feel like iui is a waste of time too, i'm on clomid this month too which makes it even worse, just going through the motions now and waiting for ivf, 3 iui's left, have even taken batteries out of cbfm, gonna throw ov sticks out too, and just try and ignore everything for the next few months

good luck to anyone who's still in with a chance

xx

 

[MarsMaiden]

Flake-y - Hi! I would think you have a great chance if you have no known issues and are using donor sperm. Good luck and it will definitely be worth it!

mrssunsine - thanks hun. no, af finally showed yesterday. I spotted for 6 days despite being on progesterone so am going to ask why that might be but I think my body just wanted to torture me some more! I'm on a rest cycle again now, next IUI will probably be mid october. Good luck for your clomid cycle, hope it makes a difference! *hugs*

wallie - i know how you feel about being a neurotic idiot! This cycle has been the absolute pits and I honestly thought it might have been easier than the first one!

zee - how you getting on hon?

Hi Charger22...I see you will be going through the Halifax clinic if you end up on the IUI/IVF route. That is the clinic I use as well. If you go online, they have their fees listed. Google Atlantic Assisted Reproductive Technologies. I was supposed to go through IUI with them for my last cycle and it was $300 for the IUI and another $850 for the controlled ovarian hyperstimulation, but it didn't work out so well for me and they cancelled the IUI because I responded too well and was put in too much risk of ovarian hyperstimulation syndrome. Now I have to wait until my natural cycle is finished before starting over again. To be honest, I don't think I am going to try IUI again, but go straight to IVF. The Halifax clinic has an average of about 61% success rate with IVF and is considered to be one of the best in North America. All of the staff there are great and make you feel very comfortable. Good luck!

Hi Sybil

I was down to the IWK in Feb and seen one of the fertility specialits there, she works out of the hospital and the clinic, she put me on clomid for 6 months, if I not pregnant then I go back, my appointment is Sept 21. I can't seen the clomid working since it never worked the first 4 cycles, i am currently cd 26 so i will no in 2 days or so. I really don't know much about the other precedures, just stuff I have been reading online, I don't even know if the next step after clomid is iui, but I really don't want to do anymore fertility drugs since I don't think they will work. What is the controlled ovarian hyperstimulation? I never heard of it before.
