February IUI - Looking for Cycle Buddies!

[JazzyFresh]

AWW good luck today!!! FX for you!!!! Yes, thank God your insurance covers it..Mine doesn't but where I go it will only be $700-800 so we will do it this time and if nothing we are going to go back in two months..we want time off to get more money and just relax!! S

I think that is a great plan. You don't want to over-extend yourselves financially and also yes, it is extremely stressful. The last thing you want is to cause any tension between you two.

You're not old!!! lol Good luck today please keep us updated!!

I have a question. So if the docs are basically inducing ovulation for us, when do you expect the witch to arrive? I am not sure if it will be like my normal cycle or will it be earlier? And are you ladies going to take a prego test or just wait it out?

hmmm I am not sure, I think with the progesterone suppositories it keeps AF away until those meds are stopped...but I'm not positive! I want to say that I won't take a test, but I just know that I will!! lol

What time is your u/s?? Well, it does depend on your age too, I'm 28 so that is why they said 3 matured eggs...if your age is higher generally it is okay to have more eggs matured...and that is just my clinic, yours might be different! Try not to be too nervous (I know that is difficult bc I am nervous for my u/s tomorrow already!!!)!

It's at 3pm (MTN time). And yes, girl... TRYING not to be nervous but i just can't help it!!! It's that excited but nervous but scared but impatient but don't want to be disappointed feeling... hahaha!!

I am 35yrs old. OLD HAG! lol. They told me that they wouldn't proceed if I had 4 matured eggs or more. I was at 2 1/2 on Monday. I don't know the rate of development with Clomid but she hopes it is at 3 for a "perfect" number.[/QUOTE]

Puh-lease!!! You are not an old hag at all!!!!!!! I am hoping that you see 3 perfect eggs when you go in, I just have a good feeling that you will!! I can't imagine how I will feel tomorrow when I am waiting for my u/s but my guess is I will feel exactly as how you just described that you are feeling, it is such a nervous exciting feeling!

My u/s is at 8:45am EST so at least I won't have to wait all day, for you that must be torture!!!!

hahahah... ok ok, I'm not. It's just during this whole process it FEELS like it. I need to remind myself this affects women of all ages.

The hubs is freaking out over the multiples possibility. LMAO. I think he was gonna hyperventilate just discussing it!! I can just imagine if I ended up with twins or omg triplets! hahaha

I am trying so hard to focus on work. Ummmm NOT working! lol!

 

[karena547]

Don't think that way at all - I know people that are 22 going through this and I know people who are 48 going through this, so it really does affect people of all ages and no matter what age we are, I can say one thing stays the same - we all have the same emotions and fears and anyone not going through this process will never understand that part of it...that's why we are here for each other!

I can't concentrate at work today either, it's awful! lol I much rather be on here chatting with you girls! If we are like this now, imagine our 2ww hahaha

 

[JazzyFresh]

Seriously, thank God for forums like this. Can you imagine the women that went through this before the internet? My husband found out he is actually a clomid baby himself! Crazy huh? At least we know it is successful lol.

Our 2ww is going to be L-O-N-G and intensely emotional. But like you said, we are in this rowboat together We got this!!!

 

[Amcolecchi]

Oh wow!! It is successful and I totally agree with you Jazzy! What did women do before this? I would go nuts not having these forums to read, chat and vent, you know? I am praying we all get a BFP this cycle!!!

 

[JazzyFresh]

We gotta to keep each other positive. There is NOTHING like losing hope! So for you ladies!!!!!!!! I keep looking at the freakn' clock and it is NOT moving! lmao. I just want it to be 3pm already. I am so nervous to find out if my eggies are good to go or what!!

 

[karena547]

Ahhh I can only imagine the countdown until your u/s must be awful!!! I just read your post on the other board about finding out with BDing is...you are too funny!!

Also had to tell you a funny story about hubby "performing"...when he went in for his analysis we thought they would have a special room for him to produce his sample lol and they took him and put him in a room just like the one I go in for my u/s...so he had this bed with stirrups in his face, he said the chair he had to use was covered in paper towel and there were like 2 magazines for him to look at! no video's, nothing more to help lol I was laughing so hard when he told me the story, not laughing at him but with him we were just like really? and the clinic we go isn't trashy at all it is very expensive and in a brand new hospital building so we were just shocked! Anyways, he said next time he has to produce a sample he will do it at home as we have that option as long as he gets it there in 2 hours!

okay...look at the clock again, that story must have made 2 minutes pass at least right lol

 

[JazzyFresh]

LMAO... yeah, I kept seeing BD'ing.. and was like what the heck is that!? I googled it. And I went back after to read the posts again with the new found knowledge!!! hahahaha... quite a different experience!

Awww... that is funny but so embarassing for him!!! I think I am going to straight out ask about that today. I am sure he will blush his butt off and give me a dirty look. But oh well! lol. Give your hubs a high five on behalf of mine for the heads up!!! lmao. I want to see if doing it at home is an option or else if its all clinical... umm make my own ahhh video to provide assistance! lol.

YES!!! MINUTES have passed!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Woo hoo!!!! lol.

 

[Amcolecchi]

Awww your poor hubby!!! It is super funny though!!! They let my husband do it at home, he just had to bring it back warm and in an hour! lol

That's what he will be doing next time - we have 2 hours to get it to them and we are about an hour away...so that works!

Actually Jazzy...he was going to try and call me for some "dirty talk" lol but he didn't get reception in that one room!!! I was like OMG you are a trooper! haha

 

[JazzyFresh]

OMG... hilarious! What a guy though to go through all that and still handle his responsibility! lol. As it is, my hubs gets embarrassed easily. I don't even know if he would twist my arm to do the drop off after. Curious to find out! lol. I will be like oh hell no, not after all my stirrup sessions! hahaha...

 

[karena547]

It's almost time!!!!!!! I am so excited for you lol Can't wait to hear how many eggs are ready for you!

 

[JazzyFresh]

Thanks!!! Leaving now!!! Omg... nervous. I will log back in after and let ya know the news... cross your fingers!

I am definitely stalking this board right now waiting for updates lol

 

[JazzyFresh]

Laughing.... ok, I am back!!!

Well, I have ONE mature follicle. It is at 19mm and got the go ahead to do the trigger tomorrow night at 10pm then the IUI Saturday morning. I have a smaller one at 15mm. I am a bit nervous that the whole cycle depends on one. I mean, the whole point of Clomid was to increase that egg development right? Trying to stay positive and just roll with it. Just my first rodeo, so nothing to really freak out over. Repeat to self five times. lol.

On another note, the hubs got the go ahead to handle his biz at home that morning so he is greatly relieved but quite nervous of the aiming into the cup!!! lmao.

Yay!!!! Okay one is better than none, right?! And by Saturday maybe that one will have grown larger too. The really good news is that you don't have too many so no canceling of your cycle, thank god! If I get the go ahead to trigger tomorrow (which they will have me do it tomorrow night too) than we will be on the exact same schedule - that would actually be pretty awesome lol

bahahaha that is too funny, my hubby said it wasn't easy to get it in the cup and it was very awkward LMAO!!!! Thank you for the update, I was telling my hubby that I was so excited for you...I think he thinks I am crazy lol but I feel like we get to know the women on these boards so quickly since it is such an emotional, private adventure that we are sharing together. Anyways...okay now that I have your update, I guess I have to start thinking about my appt tomorrow! ahhhh!!!!

 

[JazzyFresh]

Good point... I WAS very concerned over her cancelling it due to over-development. Thanks for reminding me . lol. Awwww... I hope we are on the same exact schedule... that would be too cool!!! Yay!!!! Fingers crossed!!!

Laughing...... Oh boy, so the pressure is on for the boys during that time huh. I am assuming yours will need to do it again on Sat right? I am lmao because my DH was saying how weird us women are cuz I barely came into the house and logged on to here!! lol. Men just don't get it. But that's all right.

Just try to distract yourself with things. Watch a movie tonight maybe. Something to just pass the time a bit without focusing on it. Log off here first of all!!! lol. I know, I am one to talk! hahahaha. I will be thinking of ya tomorrow so let me know how it goes, girlie!!!

 

[karena547]

Yes...mine will need to do it all over again (hopefully Saturday!!) He would do it at home this time and then we would bring it up for our appt and then I guess we have to go somewhere (shopping opportunities always welcome!) for an hour and a half and then go back for the IUI!

I am sooo hoping we are on the same schedule, it would just make things that much better!! But even if we aren't we are obviously both internet junkies and will be sharing every step of the way!

Okay - now to take your advice and go watch a movie - hubby is gone until Friday so I guess that means girly movie for me!

Thanks again for the update and I will be sure to update you after my appt tomorrow!!
