Clomid to Femara with iui support

[adidrea]

Thanks tag74! I actually have no idea when I ovulated this month...I should have used some OPKs but because we did the hCG trigger I just assumed it would be the next day...maybe that's not true though. From reading the forums a bit I realized that a lot of women don't get their IUI until about 36-48 hours after the trigger shot, so maybe I ovulated up to 3 days after that! My IUI was 12 hours after trigger. So I guess it's anywhere between 8-10 dpo at this point...

Tested this morning with FMU, BFN. I'll probably just keep doing it every morning until the beta test because I can't help it, so I'm going to stop trying to stop myself

Did anyone actually test for ovulation after trigger? How long did it take for you to ovulate?

Adidrea- the trigger will make any opk or hpt positive. I use to temp to know when I ovulated. I gave up the temping and instead we did iui 36 hours after the trigger and then bd once a day after that for 2-3 days.

 

[adidrea]

Ohh I see, I didn't know that. Wouldn't have done me much good to do an OPK then!

I used to track my bbt but I'm dealing with some insomnia right now so my temps aren't very helpful...they just end up being all over the place so I stopped. We did BD the day after IUI so hopefully I hit it pretty close.

I'm out. Period showed Wednesday. No more sperm, no more money. This whole journey has been nothing but heartache and we spent so much money with nothing but a tiny bag of my baby's ashes to show for it.

So much for getting to be a mother.

Good luck to the rest of you.

So sorry Amigone!

 

[TTC74]

Doing my 1st round of IUI with injectable FSH. Can I join in?

 

[mkwalsh]

I'm sorry Amigone. So so sorry. Go off on a bender and get close to your hubby. sending you a virtual hug.

 

[tag74]

So sorry Amigone! I know how upsetting that must me.

TTC74...welcome!

 

[adidrea]

I'm so sorry to hear that Amigone I can imagine how heartbreaking this must be for you. *lots of hugs!*


Welcome TTC74! When is your IUI?

Welcome TTC74! When is your IUI?

I'm not sure yet. I go in Wed for an estradiol test to determine when they will start doing ultrasounds. Based on those, they will decide when I get to trigger and get my IUI.

tag - thank you so much for sharing that, your story is beautiful. I love the way you and your husband met. Such a sweet story!

Adidea - Yes, I am on progestrone. And must admit I caved in and tested on Saturday and Sunday. Both were BFNs with an FRER. Its was a tough weekend for me because I know this isnt our month. I tested 11dpiui and 12dpiui. And have NO symptoms whatsoever.

TTC- Of course you can join...

Amigone - I am so sorry, my heart just breaks for you. I think futurebaby is right, you and your DH should take a trip somewhere, focus on the two of you and "try" to get your mind off of things for a while.

AFM- today I am 13dpiui - and have gotten like I said early all BFNs, so I know Im out for the month. I go in tomorrow morning for a beta. My RE then wants to see me to discuss "further options" since we had three medicated cycles. even though my DH cant afford IVF. So not sure how thats going to go It was a tough weekend but, on to a new month trying to stay optimistic and keeping a little hope.

momofadane: Thank you!

Are you sure you're out???

 

[TTC74]

So sorry to hear that mom. DH and I can't afford IVF either. So all our eggs are in the IUI basket, too.

 

[momofadane]

Well, not out till I get a Beta, but don't see how it could be positive.... I know being negative nancy

 

[tag74]

Hahaha, I don't say you're out until 15dpo. I'll be the positive one because I know exactly how you're feeling.

 

[momofadane]

Awe thanks Tag! Ill get my Beta results tomorrow afternoon, Ill keep ya posted

 

[adidrea]

Awe thanks Tag! Ill get my Beta results tomorrow afternoon, Ill keep ya posted

Good luck momofadane!! I can't wait to hear! I reeeeeeeally hope that this is your month and that you don't have to make those tough decisions! It's hard but try to stay positive until you know for sure.

I tested every morning since Friday, all BFN BFN BFN! So I guess I could give myself the same positivity pep-talk. I also have zero symptoms (although today I got my typical pre-AF symptoms like crampyness, so she's probably coming ).

 

[tag74]

PRAYING for both of you!!!!

 

[adidrea]

Thank you! Good luck to you as well on Saturday!

Just because you have no symptoms, it means nothing. I still to this day have no signs or symptoms of pregnancy. I counted myself out way too soon.
