Trigger shot this am at 4:45. My butt is still a little sore. lol. DH forgot 10 seconds later and grabbed it this morning, I almost punched him. 
It wasn't near as bad as I thought it would be. BUT I also hate needles and shots.
Should I take OPK's or just stop testing since my IUI is tomorrow??
Thanks ladies!

Mbaby - I'm doing dIUI again. My daughter is a dIUI baby. We had a successful TESE but it ended in miscarriage and we decided that for us dIUI was the best choice since it would be a huge chunk of savings again and we couldn't guarantee we'd find sperm again or that it would be viable enough not to end in another miscarriage.
Miki - Go ahead and test! I think poas keeps us sane (or as sane as possible) through all of this. I know I plan on testing through the whole thing. OPKs first then HPT cheapies.

I tested this afternoon at 2pm and got a positive OPK!! Trigger at 4:45am and positive OPK at 2:30pm. Not bad, not bad. 
I never get positives any other time, so I am very excited and hopeful for this cycle to work and that I get my BFP!!

My IUI is in 3.5 hours. Yay! I have a welt from my trigger shot still. Is that something to worry about? I am currently sitting on a heat pad and massaging the area periodically. It seems to have lessened and the pain is now gone, but still. I worry. 
I showed DH this morning and he was like "WOH, yep, there's a welt". He refused to feel how big it was. He says he doesn't like to touch "weird skin things"

Hello ladies!!
Hey Rae! As ironic as this was - I got on just now, figuring I'd check to see if you were back in TTC mode or not - and Bam! - The first thing I read is your post! So excited for you! I hope I am not too far behind, I am still BF and cannot do another cycle until weaned. Hope things go 'quickly' for you! Sending you baby dust!
Miki- Good luck! I wouldn't worry about the welt from the trigger.

Miki - Sending tons of baby dust your way! Hopefully this cycle is the one. Don't know when my IUI date is yet but we did CD3 blood and ultrasound yesterday and I start on clomid tomorrow. I go back 7/11 to see how things are progressing.
SunUp - I hope you're not far behind too! It is so great to have someone else with a similar situation. It was tough for me to go off of breastfeeding. I stopped literally 3 days before we went back to Shady Grove. I think it was harder on me to stop than her but we still have lots of snuggle time so that helps
Plus, we know we'd like to have kids close in age so they can play together so we gotta get started again soon.

Kas- I have no testimony of success story so can't really be of much help here. Hopefully other ladies will be able to inspire you to have a little hope.
How is everyone doing? I have backed off from bnb a lot lately- focused on doing fun activities away from internet for a while. Partly because I don't feel like I fit in anymore anywhere on bnb. I don't know if I think it's time for me to call it quits and find joy in being a couple and go straight to adoption, or if I should try home insemination to save on costs (spouse agreed when we do that, we give it three cycles/tries and if nothing, we'll look into adoption).

Hi Kashish, sorry you have to be here but you are welcome. These ladies are wonderful and a great support system. I don't have experience with testicular failure. My DH has atrophic testicles which can mean primary testicular failure, but we never got a diagnosis. He did injectables for 9 months and never saw sperm in any of his SA's. He decided that he didn't want to any biopsy's, tese's, mTese's or anything. We decided to move in to donor sperm and do a few IUI's before moving into IVF. If they performed a tese and didn't find sperm I am not sure of the possibility of finding some after that. Other ladies on this board have had their DH on medication that allowed some sperm to be found later. I guess it depends on the reason for testicular failure. Is any of the procedures covered by insurance? Are you using that in your decision? Sorry if I didn't help or confused you. If you have any more questions- ASK AWAY. We will all try to answer them.
deafgal I completely feel you. I have also thought about calling it quits. My thoughts were giving up my baby dreams all together, due to the costs of adoption. If you feel that you have a shot with three or four home inseminations, than by all means- give it your all. If neither of you actually have any faith whatsoever in them, it might be best to move on. Personally, I would fight, fight, fight until we "couldn't" fight anymore. If this IUI is BFN, we might be on a break for awhile because we don't have the funds to continue. I think home inseminations might be easier because you can just rest the whole day before and after and it should be less stressful on your body. Will you be monitored by a doc before or go based on OPK's? I hope that I was able to help you in some way. This is definitely a tough call and one that I have faced many times. You do belong here. It's hard sometimes, I too have felt out of place at times. This thread is so special because it's filled with women who know EXACTLY how you are feeling. Have been in your shoes, faced with the same decisions. Sometimes we choose different paths and some get pregnant sooner than others but in the end we all will have our beautiful babies. We are right here rooting for you each and every day. You never have to feel alone. Whenever I feel alone and down, I remember all of you and how you will always support me. We are here for YOU!!

Kan- welcome... We dud find sperm in the TESE but my hub does not have testicular failure. If your doctor feels it's worth another go, and hubby is willing I say go for it! However- my doctor said your best chance in finding is the 1st procedure??
My hubby also did acupuncture and was on ALOT of fertility supplements before his TESE- I can get you the list if you like.
Mik- when is your beta? How are you feeling?
