February IUI - Looking for Cycle Buddies!

[JazzyFresh]

Yeah everyday.... Feel discouraged though.

 

[Amcolecchi]

When is af supposed to arrive? I couldn't handle testing everyday!! Too much stress!!!

 

[JazzyFresh]

Testing every morning since Sat.Beta on Thursday. I am supposed to start Friday I think... Lol...I ovulated early... So i'm really not sure. Plus the progesterone delaysAF. Lol... Its a mess.

 

[Amcolecchi]

Yes but you are still early! Most women don't get their BFP's till after their missed period!!! Still FX and praying for you!!

I hate that progesterone delays AF...its like a mean trick on our bodies and minds! You could def still be too early, a lot of people don't test positive until a day before their missed period or on the day of their missed period, so only time will tell! I know what you mean about being down, but you have to try and stay positive...when I was testing negative, I was okay until about the day before my beta...then I just knew it was negative and that's when I broke down, but I was happy to have hubby there for the support rather than having him at work and getting the phone call and hearing the news then.

I am KMFX'd for you and praying that you get your BFP, I feel like you had a good cycle even with the early ovulation! Keep us updated!

 

[JazzyFresh]

Awwww... I love you two.... Thank you for keeping me from getting all sad and giving up. I currently have period-like cramps though. I guess we will see what happens...

How aree you two?

Could be implantation!!!!

I am okay, I leave soon for my work conference. I did the opk this morning and had a slight line so I'm going to take it until there is no line, I am hoping I ovulate Friday the latest! Thursday I leave and I know sperm can live 3-5 days but since my husband has low sperm morphology it's cutting it close. I am not getting my hopes up this month, I just keep telling myself 2nd IUI in April lol so I don't get upset when it doesn't work this month...the doctor said we had a 2% chance conceiving naturally with this sperm morphology but I always like hey I got 2% lol

Hello ladies!!

Period like cramps could totally be implantation OR could just be the progesterone! My nurse told me a lot of women feel AF like cramps on progesterone and think they are out, but not to feel out bc that is a common s/e of those lovely suppositories...still KMFX'd for you!!

AND 2% is 2%...you have to try right!?! It sounds like you have a good plan and if not, than there is always April IUI ready and waiting for you!

AFM - monitoring this morning showed a juicy 17.9mm follicle! Sooo they said I can probably trigger tomorrow night if my blood work/levels come back good...which means I will be in the office I want to be for my IUI!!! I am just praying that my levels are good so that I can trigger tomorrow!!

 

[Amcolecchi]

Karena-that's how I look at it. If not this month, we have the IUI in April! YAYYYY for the follicle!!! I hope the bloodwork comes back great so you can get your IUI!!!! FX for you!!!

 

[JazzyFresh]

Amcolecchi ~ I LOVE your attitude about this month!!! lol. Times like this could be a great blessing for a break though until April But at least you have fun trying before you leave... tee hee!! lol. Do you have to travel far for your work?

Karena ~ Super exciting!!!! Your follicle is perfecto... just think after the trigger how big it will be!

Yeah, its weird.. it could be the progesterone, real AF cramping, PG cramping... I don't know. I am going to continue HPT tomorrow and Thursday morning. Then get my beta Thursday. I figure if I get negatives all week and get a negative, I will be emotionally prepared for it. But if I get a positive beta.... OMG. lol. We shall see!!!

 

[Amcolecchi]

Jazzy-thank you. I agree with you, my attitude this month is so much better. I am not sure why maybe a break? Or it was my mom's & DH's birthday, I am not sure but I definitely think part of it goes to you ladies and all your support!!! I just love you guys!!!!

I still have my FX and prayers for you!!!! When is your blood test sample?!!?!?! I am so excited for you!!! To you have names picked out? Haha I do!! I have 2 boy names and 1 girl name lol so I am hoping that's what I get hahaha

 

[JazzyFresh]

Great reasons for a positive attitude!!! Thanks for your support!!! Beta is Thursday.

Awww... super cute. No names yet for us. My DH is trying to get me to stay aligned with having initials TEG and/or AMG... or MTG. lol.. Obviously our last name begins with a G and he has some kind of weird initial thing in his family. lol.

 

[karena547]

I love how positive this board is today! I am sooo excited for your beta jazzy!! You just never know, I am on another board/website and the girl kept testing negative w/her HPTs, she went in yesterday for her beta and it was 48!!! Imagine, negative hpt and yet your beta is 48 which is great...I was like how weird and she was doing the 5 days before your missed AF test too!

We have some names picked out too!! I think we all do it to try and stay positive and know that it will happen to us...hopefully sooner than later! Jazzy I love that your DH is so concerned with the initials lol too cute!

For some reason, I just can't concentrate at work today! LOL

 

[Amcolecchi]

Jazzy- the initial thing is funny but totally cute! My husband is Anthony and I am Angela, so people ask us all the time if we will do "A" names but we are not hahaha. Here are my names:
Boy- Matteo Anthony, Gianni Guido (Anthony is my husband's name and my one grandfather. Guido is my father's name and a very big family name). I guess I should of mentioned I am VERY Italian, my dad is from there lol. So we speak Italian at home and uphold all the traditions. Anthony's grandfather was born in Italy, but they do not speak the language at home or is traditional. But since we have been married he is completely soaked in the nationality and he loves it! We will be teaching our kids to speak Italian too!
Girl-Selina Maria (Selina is pronounced Selena, just this is the Italian spelling).

I would love to hear your names Karena, if you don't mind sharing!!! Oh yes I leave Thursday morning for my work conference and I do have to travel. Going from Ohio to Tennessee, and I should be doing stuff to prepare, but I am not hahaha

 

[JazzyFresh]

Yeah, it's super cute that we all are in a happy-go-lucky que sara sara kind of mood! lol.

OMG... that would be freakn' awesome, Karena!!! Thank you for sharing that. I want to stay positive but stay real too. I remember the one time I got preggp (mc back in 2010) I literally waited for my period AND then started getting symptoms and testing the day after AF was due and BFP. So, who knows right!

You would think DH is gonna do like monogrammed blankies or something!!! hahahaha

I am a big slacker today! Doing training allllllll day for a new computer system. Yay!

 

[karena547]

Awwww, I love those names!! And I love that you speak Italian at home and are so traditional!! My husband is greek and I was like, why don't you speak greek since your parents do...he was all, my parents didn't want to teach us bc they wanted to be able to talk about stuff without the kids ears listening in! lol

Our names are for girl - Anna Elizabeth (my mom's name is Elizabeth), or I also love Addison but have no idea about a middle name for that yet! lol For boys name John Nicholas Jr (of course after my hubby) or Nicholas John (which would be his dad's name, they usually go back and forth between the middle and first name as a tradition in his family) OR John Michael (middle name is my dad's first name)...so some options but all very similar lol

Jazzy you are def still in, so glad you are staying positive, I know how hard that can be after seeing a negative hpt, but you just never know!!! I am praying for you!!!

 

[JazzyFresh]

Those names are soooo awesome!!! I am leaning a bit towards Aurelia which is my great-grandma's name. Maybe Tyler for a boy. My name is Adrianna btw!!!

 

[Amcolecchi]

I love those names!! I like the name Adrianna too!! But I feel bad naming one kid with and A and the rest not hahahah who knows! But I do love your guys children names too!!

 

[karena547]

Those names are soooo awesome!!! I am leaning a bit towards Aurelia which is my great-grandma's name. Maybe Tyler for a boy. My name is Adrianna btw!!!

OMG that is weird, bc my first name choice for years has been Adrianna...but now I can't use that name bc my Dh's sister's husband cheated on her w/a woman w/that name and is still with that woman....so my mother-in-law is like absolutely not. I wanna be like really, get over it, it isn't my fault! lol

I love Aurelia too!!! Wow, we all have some beautiful names picked out for our babies! lol Now let's make this happen!
