[ttcbaby117]

well that is ok I think, i am on a natural cycle and this is usually what happens...when I am on the progesterone I dont trust my body at all! Good luck to you also! I will meet you here in the am and I am praying for your BFP!

Ttc~ good luck tomorrow with your testing sweetie don't look too much into symptoms as many women don't experience real pregnancy symptoms until after a late period.

Bma~ have you tested again?

As for me~ just did my bravelle 150iu injection. I did it right in the middle of my living room with my father, mother and husband all sitting around me what a sight. my parents know and are up to date on everything. They know I have 3 possible follicles so my dad keeps telling to start picking three baby names I'm so excited about Saturday and nervous all at the same time.

Hi everyone!!! BMA that's so exciting, I can't wait to POAS When does everyone test their trigger, meaning what day? My first IUI is in the books as of 10am this morning. It was the best part of my insane morning! I couldn't help but giggle the entire time I had the sample in my bra while transporting. Good luck and baby dust for everyone!!

I took a third just now. Unfortunately I didn't have a full flow. I should have waited but I thought I had to go and I guess it wasn't that bad. Lol I still see the line but it is a lot lighter than this morning. Will test again in the morning. Taking Benadryl for sure tonight. Allergies are always bad plus maybe I will sleep! Ugh I should have waited until I had a full flow. I might test again later when I really have to go!!!

 

[Bma11]

Anmlz86-- woo hoo!! Good luck, FX for you. I have never tested the trigger out but I'm assuming they test it out right after? I did 6&7dpo. Lol

Thanks august...that's cute what your dad....it is nice to have support like that.

BMA don't fret...if you didn't have full flow then of course it will be lighter

Ann - you can start around 5 dpiui if you want....that so when I do.

I usually start testing out the trigger from the morning after the iui...

My new fs will only take samples (semen) produced at the office which scares me because im afraid my husband won't be able to do the deed. it takes us 40-50 minutes to get to the main fertility center. I'm praying that my iui can be done in my local center this way I can beg to let my husband do his sample at home. I'm worried about this

 

[augustluvers]

Bma ~ I agree with ttcbaby... Don't fret it right now. I know easier said then done. I pray your Benadryl works. I too suffer from allergies... I've been all watery eyes and flushed faced for days now, thank god for make up lol

 

[anmlz86]

Totally tested the trigger tonight, lol. Finished going, looked down at the test, and there she blows!! A faint pink line I saw, now if only it'll stay there and karate chop AF, lol. Good luck Bma, FX'd for you!

August - ahem...a word of advice if he has to do it at the Dr office.......bring your own naughty DVD....my dh had to do the same and we b2b iuis so on the second day we had some issues so I left the Dr office e and went and bought a porn DVD across the street for him to use....the ones they had there he said was horrible and a turn off....lmao....I can laugh about it now but we saved that DVD for our December cycle to use again.

Yeah I thought of doing this. I try not to talk to him about it because I can tell that it makes him uncomfortable. LoL thanks for the advice... You girls on here rock and are such great support

 

[ttcbaby117]

Oh the things we will do in the name of a bfp . Lmao

 

[Bma11]

August-- your family sounds like mine. I feel for your DH. I will pray he overcomes this & can do it, when he needs to. Is the distance the reason they won't let him collect at home. Second IUI, my DH collected at like 4:15am. I kept it in my bra, went back to sleep & I had to be at the clinic at 8, for washing. & he had 60 mil after wash.

TTC baby-- thank you, I'll just wait to test until the morning. I may post it at 4:30 am, lol I wake up when my hubby gets up.

 

[Bma11]

Same to you anmlz, you made me giggle!! Karate chop AF

hey naughty videos ups the sperm count!!!! This IUI I made hubby watch it at home, because we had only abstained for 2 days. First day he had 41 mil after wash, 2nd day he had 40 mil after wash!!

 

[anmlz86]

Augustluvers- My DH was concerned about having his swimmers in a cup when he drove it to his doctor's office since we live about 30-45minutes outside town. He performed at his doctor's office and the nurse did the wash, handed off the sample to me, and we drove back across town to my doctor's office 20min away with my girls keeping the sample warm lol. I think if a guy got the idea in his head to do the deed, he could accomplish it if you guys have to go that route at your fs's office. My RE is about 3hrs away which I think is why he's having our doctors do all of this long distance. Good luck either way!! I'll keep my FX'd for you that everything will fall into place!!

 

[anmlz86]

Both places my hubby have had to produce a sample neither of them have had TVs, and he says the magazines don't help. He gets sidetracked by the articles lol. Never thought about watching a movie the night before, may have to do that next time

Well if y'all have a smart phone ... iPhone or whatever, he could get it on the phone. If he even needed it, but like I said a study says it helps the sperm count.....

 

[Bma11]

Must have been a fluke. I just tested again and the line is gone. I know it's still early to be out for this month but I'm a little sad. Not sure if I will keep testing or not.

At my old fertility center you could collect at home as long as you had the sample at the office within 1hour of collection. With this new fertility clinic, I was told by previous patients that the collection must be done in the clinic and that no one is allowed in the collection room but the husband. LOL

Tomorrow is my next ultrasound and bloodwork appointment, and my husband is going to go with me so we can talk about his collection issue with the doctor.

Sorry about the this morning. But like you said it's still very early. You're only 8dpo today, right? Look at the bright side, at least you now know that the trigger is out of your system.

Last night... I asked my husband if he's been practicing.. and he said 'NO'...

Last night I had the most ridiculous out of this world dream! I dreamed that I went in for my IUI and they stripped me completely naked. I was laying on the table with no clothes on. There were like 5 doctors and many nurses coming in and out of the room where I was laying. I waited for hours for my husband to complete his 'deed'... then I saw the doctor come in with a mini lawn mower to shave my legs? WTH? And then right as I was getting inseminated.. I woke up... I was cracking up. I don't know what's happening to me girls.
