I would say 2 days is plenty, that way there is a good amount present when it's time for the IUI.
Christian ladies TTC, we can encourage one another.

Dyna, so glad the only issue was low sperm count, which very well could change on the next one. I agree with GJ. We were told 2 days when we did IUI.
GJ, praying that everything is fine and that you receive a good report of health!

Praise God!!! Everything went wonderfully, the Doc said everything looked perfect. He saw a cyst on my ovary, which he believes is from my endometriosis, but said its nothing to worry about.
My blood work and hubby's SA came back great
So now I just have to wait for my appointment next week to be cleared for IVF
I feel so good right now and thanking God for His peace and comfort during this whole process.

Dyna - Praise GOD! Do you ever have that moment of, "Sneaky, sneaky, God..." after those moments of waiting for an answer are over? I know I do. 
Sarah - How exciting! God is GOOD!!!

Hi all. I've been away from this thread for awhile. CONGRATULATIONS BECKY ON your BFP!!!!
I'm not too focused on getting a BFP at the moment as lots is going on. I don't want to really say what's happening as people may "google" things and work out who I am..don't want gossip in the town I'm in. But, it's good news.
God places dreams in our hearts which mayn't come to fruitition for many years. Perhaps my dh and I have to wait for over 10 years to conceive? I don't know. May God's will be done for His glory.
May each of keep drawing near to Him.
Yay
Thanks Sarah! God is good!
How are you going? praying that God will help you and your dh through this IVF process and for a child.
Yes, I still majorly desire a child! Well, children. Ultimately, I'd love a big family - but over the past 6 months, it seems like God is telling me "one day" whenever I want to know "Why not my turn?" It is so hard sometimes when friends fall pregnant easily. But, God has a different plan for each one of us and I got to trust Him in this and not look at what He is doing in another person's life and compare. I think we compare too much as humans- hey?
perhaps my dh and I will end up adopting orphans while overseas?
I don't know how that is possible since we can't afford it. And I'd also love to be pregnant. I think it'd be really hard to never fall pregnant and, even if I do adopt, I think I'd still always ache a little whenever I see pregnant women. I read a Christian woman's blog and how she ended up adopting, but still ached to be pregnant. God made it happen for her though.

I'm ready for all the testing to be over with
but again, I'm so grateful to have this opportunity.Isn't it crazy when you sit back and think about how God already has it all planned out? He is just wanting us to completely trust Him and while we are on this journey, to continue to serve Him and allow Him to use us in any way, as His vessels. I'm so glad that your dreams of going overseas to serve our precious Lord and Saviour are being fulfilled, and just as that was fulfilled, I pray the desire for children will be fulfilled as well.

This weekend was definitely no fun for me, I got the flu and have been stuck at home. I haven't called in sick to work in years and had to ask my Supervisor if I could take a vacation day. I still have a slight fever and was not wanting anyone else to get sick 
How's everyone else doing?

Sarah, have you been to the doctor? It's dreadful that you've been stuck at home, but your body needs some rest from fighting that virus. Good thing you had vacation days to take, don't want you overworking and possibly getting sicker!
This weekend was my husband's birthday, so we spent a relaxing weekend in NC with his family. It was beautiful Sunday and yesterday, but now the bitter winter weather has caught up to us. I don't think I was much prepared for it.
My husband and I have been drifting away from our conception method (SMEP) lately, but hopefully we can make up for it with the remainder of this week.

A few weeks ago, we let our imaginations run a little wild as we thought about what it would be like to visit with Sarah, our sister in waiting from centuries ago, as she was a special guest leader of a modern day infertility support group. We couldnt just let it end there! Today well visit with Hannah as she leads our imaginary group. What will she tell us about her experience with baby hunger?
The last meeting was not one to be forgotten! Most infertility support groups are not led by senior citizens, but Sarah would be a welcome addition any time. Tonights special guest would have to be someone really unique to even begin to hold a candle to the insight gained from their last gathering.
The guest at this meeting was supposed to be a sweet woman named Hannah. After our last meeting, the girls were anxious to meet her. One of the fringe benefits of joining the infertility support group was the precious friendships that had continued outside the confines of the meeting times. Some of the girls had begun to meet prior to the support group for dinner, and then they came together to the meeting. As they walked through the door, their light banter was silenced by the sound of muffled sobs. Tears were not uncommon at the meetings, but it was a little unusual to hear them before the group started. Their thoughts immediately went to those who had recently conceived and they wondered if someone had suffered a miscarriage. They hurried through the door to see who hosted the broken heart, only to see their special guest, kneeling at her seat, face buried in her hands and weeping. Their awkward silence was broken as Hannah, sensing the presence of someone else in the room, turned from her place of worship, and with a raspy voice, began wiping her eyes and nose and with a smile that looked a little out of place said Hello, ladies. Come on in!
No one knew what to think. Did they need to comfort her? Had something happened on the way to the meeting? Several of the members of the group had had a rough few weeks and really needed the support of an understanding friend. How was Hannah supposed to help them when she was apparently falling apart herself?
Oh, these old knees! They just dont want to cooperate with me like they used to. Hannah settled into the chair that had served as her altar only a few moments before, wincing as she rubbed both of her pain-filled knees. I guess this is how they pay me back for all those hours kneeling on them, she said with a chuckle. They didnt do knee-replacements in my day! Before anyone realized it, Hannah began to pray over the group. O Lord of hosts, please look down on this group of women tonight. Look on the hurts their hearts carry. Wont you remember them, and give them children? God, I know you can work miracles, because you worked a miracle in my womb. I ask You to give them a double portion of your love. Well be careful to give You all praise and glory. Such passion in her prayer! She truly poured her heart out to God in prayer over this gathering of ladies in waiting.
As each woman shared the struggle she had gone through since the last meeting, Hannah would bow her head and pray for her. One woman told how her sister-in-law had hurt her so with her announcement of another pregnancy. Hannah kept on praying quietly, not disturbing the flow of conversation, but praying nonetheless. Another told the group that she had been so discouraged about not getting pregnant that she couldnt eat and couldnt sleep, and that her struggle was disrupting every area of her life. She glanced over at Hannah. She was fervently bombarding heaven for this young woman and the despair of her heart. Even when a frustrated young wife cried through her description of the latest fight with her husband, Hannah prayed. And prayed. And kept on praying. Throughout the hour and a half that the meeting continued, Hannah never stopped praying!
As time drew near for the meeting to end, Hannah stood to her feet, her knees in constant argument with her. Her words to them came as no surprise. Ladies, lets pray together. Father, I rejoice in You, because I know you are our triumphant God! Infertility is no match for our one, holy God. There is no one beside You, nor is there any rock like our God. Unexplained infertility is no match for You, for You, Lord, are a God of knowledge! Hannahs prayer lasted for several minutes as she seemed intoxicated with the praise of the God she was so in love with.
As she closed her prayer and opened her eyes, Hannah locked eyes with each woman. Keep on praying. I know its hard. I know its hard. Just keep on praying. With that, purses were gathered, goodbyes were said, and the meeting drew to a close. The blessed backdrop to the final footsteps of the group members exiting the building were the same beautiful sounds they heard when they arrived. The muffled sobs of a woman offering her praise to the God who had remembered her so long ago, as Hannah once again, knelt in front of her chair in prayer and praise.

I'm sorry you're having a rough day
We have all had those days and thankfully we have one another to give us a helping hand when we are down and out. Here are some verses for you to read through
Deuteronomy 31:6 Be strong and courageous. Do not fear or be in dread of them, for it is the LORD your God who goes with you. He will not leave you or forsake you.
Isaiah 41:10 fear not, for I am with you; be not dismayed, for I am your God; I will strengthen you, I will help you, I will uphold you with my righteous right hand.
Zephaniah 3:17 The LORD your God is in your midst, a mighty one who will save; he will rejoice over you with gladness; he will quiet you by his love; he will exult over you with loud singing.
1 Corinthians 10:13 No temptation has overtaken you that is not common to man. God is faithful, and he will not let you be tempted beyond your ability, but with the temptation he will also provide the way of escape, that you may be able to endure it.
2 Corinthians 4:16-18 So we do not lose heart. Though our outer self is wasting away, our inner self is being renewed day by day. For this light momentary affliction is preparing for us an eternal weight of glory beyond all comparison, as we look not to the things that are seen but to the things that are unseen. For the things that are seen are transient, but the things that are unseen are eternal.
Deuteronomy 31:8 It is the LORD who goes before you. He will be with you; he will not leave you or forsake you. Do not fear or be dismayed.
Psalm 9:9 The LORD is a stronghold for the oppressed, a stronghold in times of trouble. And those who know your name put their trust in you, for you, O LORD, have not forsaken those who seek you.
Psalm 23:4 Even though I walk through the valley of the shadow of death, I will fear no evil, for you are with me; your rod and your staff, they comfort me.
Psalm 55:22 Cast your burden on the LORD, and he will sustain you; he will never permit the righteous to be moved.
Matthew 11:28-29 Come to me, all who labor and are heavy laden, and I will give you rest. Take my yoke upon you, and learn from me, for I am gentle and lowly in heart, and you will find rest for your souls.
Peace Scripture Quotes For Encouragement
John 14:27 Peace I leave with you; my peace I give to you. Not as the world gives do I give to you. Let not your hearts be troubled, neither let them be afraid.
John 16:33 I have said these things to you, that in me you may have peace. In the world you will have tribulation. But take heart; I have overcome the world.
Romans 8:6 For to set the mind on the flesh is death, but to set the mind on the Spirit is life and peace.
Philippians 4:6-7 do not be anxious about anything, but in everything by prayer and supplication with thanksgiving let your requests be made known to God. And the peace of God, which surpasses all understanding, will guard your hearts and your minds in Christ Jesus.
Colossians 3:15 And let the peace of Christ rule in your hearts, to which indeed you were called in one body. And be thankful.

I just wiped after going to the bathroom and it was tinted dark red. Please pray for my little one. I don't have any cramping or anything and I've been feeling nauseated for the past few days so I was totally shocked when I saw the color. Lord, please don't let me lose this little one too! Not again!
Prayed for you hun.

I pray that God quiets your mind and takes away your spirit of fear. His plan is perfect, and no matter what happens, He will never leave you. Bless your womb and the tiny baby growing in it. Stay strong, Becky. Keep praying.

Oh my sweet Becky, I wish I could be with you now and hold you in my arms and tell you everything is going to be ok. I'm praying that God will show himself strong in this situation and that this will just be a tiny bump in the road of your pregnancy.
You are in my prayers.
