Donor Sperm IUI/IVF- 2012

[Guenhwyvar]

Thanks ladies! This mornings frer came back + within a minute! I'm still in shock so we've convinced the Dr that's handling our gp's patients to fit me in today. Gonna use the increased risks that come with endo as an excuse to get an early ultrasound.
How's everyone's day treating them so far?

Congrats!! Do you have an idea of how far along you are?

 

[Guenhwyvar]

Yuppers. I'm only 18dpo (4 weeks 3 days). Just need to make sure my little trouble maker(s) have implanted in the "designated area".
Things work very slow here, you have to get your gp to refer you to a gyno/re to get an ultrasound done and that normally takes them at least a few weeks (especially during the summer) for them to get back to you. So even though it's extremely early, by the time they get around to making you a time they'll be able to actually see something.

 

[CanadianMaple]

Look at that chart of yours! Nice!

I don't think they can see anything before 6 weeks, so it may be a good thing that you can't get in right away. Congratulations again!

We showed MIL the donor we have picked out. She is actually quite excited. So glad she is really accepting of this. I'm alternating between nervous and excited now.

Canadian ~ that's delightful that your MIL is being both supportive and excited for the two of you.

My physcian's office accidently double booked his schedule this morning. Since I was already having a difficult Monday I opted to come back in two weeks. It was a disappointing day.

 

[CanadianMaple]

That's so disappointing! I really hope the two weeks fly for you.

Tomorrow is my last BCP. We are going camping until Friday and then hopefully AF will show up on Friday or Saturday. I can't believe how close we are getting!

 

[Guenhwyvar]

Thanks again Canadian. Sometimes I think the in-laws just need to realize it's going to happen and that in the end they'll get a grandchild and then they are ok with it. I'm glad your MIL came around so soon. YAY to tomorrow being your last day for bc. Fingers, toes and eyes crossed for you.

CurlySusan: Man it really sucks when these things get in the way. I hope today's been kinder to you.

 

[CanadianMaple]

I've been spotting for these past 3 weeks on the pill. I really need to start thinking about ordering our sperm. My clinic hasn't called me back yet with answers to my questions.

 

[MrsC8776]

Guen~ I'm right behind you on your dates. I'm sure everything is great and implantation happened in the right spot.

Canadian~ Thats so great the your MIL was excited about the profile. That really says something. Do you know how long the shipping takes? Maybe try giving the clinic a call again tomorrow. I always hate it when they don't call back.

Curly~ Sorry to hear about the delay. Thats very unfortunate.

 

[CanadianMaple]

From what I understand, they usually overnight the sperm, so we have lots of time. I still want to know about the questions about CVM and HPV/HSV. I am going to call them again tomorrow.

How are you doing?

 

[MrsC8776]

Ahh ok because the place I ordered from did two day shipping and I think over night costs quite a bit more. It was already $180.00 to ship.

I'm doing good. I got my second beta yesterday. 550.6 at 15dpo. Thats really good and by the online calculators the number is doubling every 31 hours. I don't have much else going on. I did start a journal. I've been asked if I have one for a little while now. That was when we were trying though.

Last pill for you tomorrow! Any luck on finding cheaper clomid?

 

[CanadianMaple]

Yay! I'll go find your journal!

It's $226 to ship where I am from Toronto. Blah. They only had the one shipping option, but if someone else from my clinic is ordering, they will do shared shipping. She said they don't get a lot of orders from there though. (We have a choice between 4 banks, so it's spread out.)

I should go to bed, just so I can wake up and take my last pill! I think the $64 Clomid will be the best I can find. So annoying!

 

[MrsC8776]

Thats nice that they would do share shipping. 226 does seem like a lot. It all adds up so quick. No worries though because you will only need the one IUI. That sucks about the clomid. Do you have to do a CD3 baseline again before they will give you the clomid?

 

[CanadianMaple]

This whole process was the cheaper process. I keep reminding myself we could have paid $15,000 for the mTESE and one round of IVF with the same odds of pregnancy. It will be tougher to do a stim cycle in September or October if this one doesn't work, school is insanely busy those first few weeks. Cross your fingers!

I just took my last pill and will wait for AF. I hope it comes on Friday or Saturday. Woohoo! I go in on CD3 for my baseline ultrasound and probably some blood work?

 

[MrsC8776]

I know what you mean about the way you are looking at it. For us this way just made more sense in so many ways. My fingers are crossed for you that this one works!

Yay for taking the last pill! They might not need you to do blood work. It all depends on what you have had done. I think they will just do the scan and thats it.

 

[Guenhwyvar]

Hey ladies, I figured I better check in and see how all you lovely ladies are doing.

MrsC: Congrats in that second beta!

Canadian: Here's hoping af shows up today *fingers crossed*

 

[MrsC8776]

Thank you Guen!

I see your signature... why does your dr think that?

 

[Guenhwyvar]

Black discharge and he expected to see something in the us but didn't, plus the area around my right ovary is extremely tender. Personally I think it's to early to tell & wouldn't have gone in yesterday had it not been for the pain & their insisting. My next beta is Sat & next us (original appointment) is the 26th.
I'm not too worried yet. More interested in how y'all are doing.

 

[MrsC8776]

I'm sorry to hear that. Lets not worry yet because it is very early to see anything. I look forward to hearing how your next us goes.

I'm doing good today. Not much going on and feeling fine. The past couple of days I have been feeling sick all day but today it only started this evening. With as long as I've waited for this I don't mind feeling sick.

Canadian and WANB~ How are you doing?

 

[MrsC8776]

Guen~ Do you have anything else going on? How are you feeling?
