Hello girls! I've been away for a few days!

Welcome Berrysmoothie! Keep us posted on your journey.

Turkey and dbluett - FX for you! Almost testing time for dbluett!

Scerena - thanks for asking how I'm doing! I'm feeling very tired these days - quite bloated and a little queasy... But I'm hoping these are all good signs that all is well. I have an appointment Friday, and hopefully we'll see a heartbeat! So nervous...

 

[Berrysmoothie]

Thanks for all the welcome messages! Went to Drs today, blood tests good (didn't get the numbers though, oooops) 4 follicles doing well 17, 17, 18 and 19. Trigger shot tonight ovitrelle 250 and then IUI scheduled for Thursday.

Have managed to remain remarkably calm throughout given that it's the first try but am starting to wish the days and weekends away now to get to Thursday and then to get through the TWW.....feeling nervous but in a nice way not a stressed out way...so far!

Looking forward to reading more of your posts, hopefully some good news coming for everyone. Lots of to all x

Its just before 5 pm here. Trying to decided if I want to do it tonight or tomorrow morning. I also heard it's better to do it in the morning, But I have seen people get BFPs at night.

Good luck dbluett!!!!

dbluett- fingers crossed for you. it is so scary to take that test... my hands always shook

I am not a fan of testing beforehand...for me, the possible disappointment coupled w/ the possible uncertainty is a little too much. I tested on 14dpiui, (it was a sunday) on my first attempt and got a BFN....I was holding onto the shred of hope that the various message boards gave me, but in my heart I knew it was a no. Too stressful for me...

If any of my possibly imagined side effects persist, I'll let y'all know, otherwise I'll give you an update on August 3rd...

turkey= yeah ive been there.. downside to testing "late" if it is neg, it is neg. i preferred to wait for af but if you are on progesterone it isnt going to happen. i tested early this cycle cause i knew i was gonna be at work for a super long day the beta day... so i tested 2 days early cause i was going to lunch with girlfriends who could make me feel better. i did the test... saw it was neg and hopped back in bed. like 2 min later i couldnt resist looking again and... omg, super subtle not neg.. but i was still scared to test beta day

Exactly Dr. Squid!!! At least if you test at 10dpiui or so, you actually can hold out hope that a BFN could be wrong! Last cycle I did just what you did...planned to be with girlfriends when i got the beta results, so they could console me...it definitely helped, but that was when they told me they were moving me on to the injectables, so....that was a tad emotional.

Anyway, I'm so happy for you and your babes!!! So exciting and awesome!!! Congrats!!

HPT was...
But I won't let myself get disapointed until i hear the blood test results (4 more days). I was doing some research and some women will never get a positive HPT.

 

[Turkey16]

I'm with you dbluett...good attitude!! Stay positive! I've also read lots of success stories that started with a negative hpt....beta is Monday???

 

[Berrysmoothie]

[Turkey16]
