Miki - If ovulation is around 17/18th, then by the time you travel you will have implanted and be pregnant 
So I wouldn't worry about it influencing conception in any way. That is so great and positive that DH has embraced this move! So happy for you that you were able to find someone so perfect so quickly! 
MBaby - that is fantastic news Sweetie!! It is such a great feeling when things get moving again FX'd for your FET

Hi everyone! I, too, have been reading along, but like Bubumaci I didn't want to hurt anyone who is still in limbo. But, we had our first ultrasound this morning and everything looks great! We saw the baby move and the heartbeat- it was pretty amazing. There may have been tears shed. Bubumaci, you said something a while back about not allowing any negative thinking to enter your head, and that really helped me out when I started to feel stressed. So, thanks for that!
Miki, that's great that you're moving forward. Wishing you lots of luck with the IUI. I had to get some bloodwork done (an STD panel and bloodtype), and our clinic also required a session with a therapist to go forward with donor. And Olive and Deafgal, I'm glad you're finding peace. Deafgal, home insemination sounds like a great alternative- way cheaper than going through the clinic. I think lots of couples do this. I agree with everyone else, though- turkey baster sounds WAAAYY less fraught with moral dilemma and hurt feelings than the "one night stand" method.
Good luck Mbaby! And to everyone else! Thinking of you all often.

Congrats to everyone, lots of things headed in a positive direction for everyone, which is great news!!
Good luck, Mbaby and Mik.
Deafgal, I have had the same thoughts from time to time. Why cant it just be easy, like the movies? Just find someone, do the deed and move on! But I feel the consequences outway the reward. Its just not fair!
Following quietly from the sidelines, sending positive thoughts to all

Congrats on baby Ezra!! I bet he is perfect! 
My doctor called me back last night and we discussed the DIUI. Today I need to contact the sperm bank and get some information about the shipping of the sperm and I need to go for a serum progesterone next week to be sure I ovulated as estimated. If I did ovulate yesterday that means two months straight my body did what Clomid was supposed to help it do! Which means my DIUI will be around April 18, 2014!! I am so excited and nervous at the same time.
I know the chances of the first IUI taking is slim but I am still hopeful that it will work. I am trying REALLY hard to stay positive. Now to buy the donors vials.
What's a good number of vials to buy?? I have a buy 5 get 1 free deal but do you all think 6 vials will be sufficient??

Congrats, MoBaby!!! So wonderful!
Miki, I think 6 should be enough. You can always re-order more if it's not. Did your doctor have a recommendation? And can they store the extras for you if you don't need them? We only ordered 3 vials because my doc wanted to try 3 unmedicated, then we would move on to some sort of medication.
Bubumaci, I'm just about 10 weeks now. You?

Sharon my doctor didn't give me a recommendation. In Alaska we do not have a cryobank. All of the sperm we buy has to stay frozen at the cryobank in Washington that we bought it from. When it's time for a cycle I have to call and place the order for delivery. It's $240 for the 1-2 FedEx and $45 for the release of the frozen from storage. It's a pain.
Also, when I called yesterday to discuss my order with the cryobank I found out that my donor has 27 vials. I was shocked!! But at least if I have to start using two vials per IUI OR if I don't get pregnant I can at least buy more. Plus, they have a deal that if you aren't pregnant within four IUI's they will give you a free vial.
Overall not a bad deal. I am waiting to actually purchase them and set up the April delivery until my period starts. If my period starts on time like it did last month than the Clomid is working and we can set the dates in stone. If it doesn't....I need to talk to the doc to figure out why. Here's to hoping it works again.
Does anyone have advice for my DIUI cycle?? I have read so much about it I could probably tell the doc what to do. lol. Now that it is actually getting close I am a little nervous.
Sorry for ANOTHER long post and as always THANK YOU lovelies for always giving me advice. I couldn't do this without you all!

@ Sharon - 7w+3 today ... get to see + hear little bean tomorrow (at least, I hope so, I hope everything is OK!)
Miki - that sounds like a really good deal to me. Can't offer any IUI advice I'm afraid - but it sounds promising that you can have so many tries (which I hope you won't need)!!! Wishing you the best of luck and sending lots and lots of

Hi Tulip :wave:
I am not entirely sure - but perhaps they are wanting to check for blockages? To see whether the azoo that your DH has is obstructive / non-obstructive ...? For my DH they did an ultrasound to check that, but I think they did an anal ultrasound and not the abdomen - but perhaps that is why?

Miki - I have had 2 medicated DIUI's, that unfortunately didn't take. We are waiting after our trip to continue. This time around I don't want to take a break in between cycles. I took a month in between due to the holidays. I don't think that was the issue, but I don't know.
The first IUI was almost like a pap, but the second one was very painful and it took longer than the first time. I thought it was a good sign, but I was wrong. I actually only bought one vial at a time. This next time I might buy 3 and just pay the shipping every time I do the IUI. My office charges storage fees for more than 30 days and it equals to the same amount as the storage fees at the cryobank. I rather keep it at the cryobank even though it is expensive for shipping. I just don't know yet. I have several months to figure out how we are going to do things.
Another thing is that I really thought it was going to take the first or second time. Most women that I have read on forums take about 2-4 times on average. It was too painful to continue and receive another negative so we decided to take a break. We also want to save more money to afford more tries.
Good luck with your IUI's and hopefully you get your BFP soon
