Hi Mrs. Truth! Do you want pros and cons for IUI or Femara?

IUI... only con really would be the cost, but it is better by far in terms of cost than IVF. You can have some cramping during the procedure but not bad at all. Pros is that it allows the sperm to be inserted higher in the reproductive tract, allowing it to bypass some of the biggest obstacles in its journey.

Femara... Pros is that it supposedly has less side effects than Clomid. I haven't really experienced any side effects with either med though. Femara is a med that is traditionally used to treat some type of cancer (breast cancer, I believe) so your insurance may cover it better than other fertility meds. I don't know of any cons other than that it didn't produce a BFP for me.

Good luck in your TTC journey!

How many iui's have you had? Far as Clomids I still have three prescriptions with my pharmacy I think I might go ahead and get them. But I didn't like Clomids and plus I never received a BFP either. This has been one frustrating journey. I am just hoping for some results because I do not want to go back to IVF

I've done two IUIs so far, both while on Clomid. Still in the two week wait for this last one. (Praying hard!)

How many cycles did you do with Clomid before switching to Femara? How many IVF cycles did you do, and what made you switch back to IUIs?

I did one IVF procedure but I didn't chose to use multiples due to fear of multiples and that ended. I also had a tubal reversal feb 7,2012 before I had the tubal ligation I was fertile as IVF lab. I did one cycle on Clomids I was basically trying natural as much as possible. This is my first cycle on femara, I decided to do IUI because I have had four chemicals and I am just trying to try a procedure that may can help me. Then when me a DH is intimate a lot the sperm falls out so I am trying to bypass that. Before I go back to IVF

Hey ladies! How is everyone doing? I've been out of town for the last few days. Sorry for going all MIA!

DH and I went out of town for our anniversary and I managed to convince him that we should leave computers at home and cell phones on airplane mode (camera use only), so I have been away. We had a lovely trip- stayed at a cute little B&B down in Colorado Springs. The night before our anniversary, DH surprised me with three new children's books. (I really enjoy children's story books and have a decent collection.) We had a wonderful dinner at Melting Pot on New Years Eve. Then yesterday, after an entire day of laying around in bed just talking and cuddling, DH took me shopping for a new outfit and then took me to a really gorgeous restaurant at a historical hotel/country club called The Broadmoor for our anniversary dinner. It was absolutely wonderful and presented me with a beautiful opal accented bracelet at the end of the meal. (Swooooooon.) Can't seem to stop telling him how wonderful it all was.

Today I am 4 dpo, 6 days past trigger, and really just hoping that BD'ing worked this month. DH and I are still happy with our decision to forgo the IUI for a couple months, so I'm hoping it pans out. I've been taking cheapie pregnancy tests since the trigger shot to see when it clears my system and my test today barely had a second line, so I think it should be cleared out by tomorrow. We definitely BD'd enough this month, and with two eggies I'm hoping that we caught at least one!

Hi Sprinkles!

What an amazing dh you have there! Going away is always fun. We did the same, rented a cabin for the weekend.

I'm 10 dpo today, although ff said I was 11dpo yesterday. A little confused why it changed but so far my temps are high so I'm quite happy!

I hope this is our month as well! I think I'm also leaning towards waiting a few for more months before iui. But may change my mind when af shows,

Have a great week! And keep us posted

It sounds as if your trip was heaven sent. It sounds so romantic and dreamy. Me I am currently 15dpo no af and a negative this morning. I don't know what's going on but if no af by this weekend then I am going to the doctor on Monday.

TWINKLES80- Glad to hear your temps are staying up! How are you feeling today?

Mrstruth- How are you doing today, hunny? Any news?

Cindylou777- You are one day ahead of me! I'm 6dpo and 8dp-trigger today. I've been taking a cheapie pregnancy tests every day so I know when the hCG has left my system. The second line was barely visible last night, so I'm thinking it should be cleared out soon. I'm a bit of a POS junkie.

Hi Sprinkles:

They're staying up but I'm feeling lousy, i feel like af is coming i'm 11dpo now =(

I'm so glad you and dh had a romantic getaway!!!

Hi Ladies! Good luck to everyone still in the tww.

Sprinkles, your anniversary trip sounds like it was amazing! Glad you had a great time, and what a good distraction from TTC!

AFM: I'm out this cycle. Today starts a new cycle. Going to the doc on Monday to have another ultrasound. I don't think I've ever had two back to back treatment cycles though because of my frequent cysts. Praying there are no cysts this time!

TWINKLES80- OMG- did you get your BFP????? Your signature sure looks like it! Wooohoooooo!!!! I'm so happy for you hunny! Go sticky bean, go!!! Hey! Send some of that baby dust my way!!!

Hi Sprinkles:

I tried so hard to be sensitive and not announce it on here =( didn't want you girls to feel bad. Didn't know old messages carried my signature!

I got a faint bfp today with frrr then took another frer and it was darker. I'm overjoyed and so very thankful to the lord for blessing us.

I truly hope this is a bfp for everyone here. I was set to start iui and clomid if you recall this month.

I'm praying baby sticks!

Oh no hunny- Don't feel bad about announcing here! I am so glad that you are not having to do Clomid/IUI. That is wonderful and I am super happy for you! And don't disappear on us now that you got your BFP! Keep bringing that sticky bean baby dust around to us. Plus, I'd love to hear how your pregnancy goes.

I quit my work when I was diagnosed with infertility, but before that I worked as a doula and child birth educator. (See how that might not be the best job for an infertile lady- haha!) I may not be talking much to pregnant women I don't know anymore, but I love to hear how pregnancy goes for the women I care about!

A H&H9M to you twinkles!!! Don't be a stranger!

Aww thanks sweetie pie! You've always been so sweet! I'll make sure to message you.. I know how sensitive it is for some people. You keep me posted as well! I will definately be lurking!!!!

I wish I could quit work! Lucky girl

I'm praying and fx to you for this cycle!!!!!
