IUI GIRLS General chat , Clomid etc

[vineyard]

I just got back from book club where a girl announced, "Guess what I'm 3 months pregnant!" She's got a baby that she had when she first got married a year ago (not intentional) and is pregnant again. I just don't understand how that's even fair!!!! Ugh!!!

 

[DebsHopeful]

Sorry sweetie, I know how much it hurts. You must believe your time to will come.

 

[lulabell]

I know how you feel Vineyard! I had the same thing happen to me yesterday. I have a friend that I use to work with make the "big announcement"! I'm so happy for her...yet so jealous!

 

[DebsHopeful]

I have been on progesteron from CD10 - CD24, not completely sure why.
It either was to help shrink my over stimulated follicle or it was to ensure I have a nice thick lining for my IUI at the end of the month.
Either way I finished taking my last table on Friday so today is CD26, I was expecting the witch to arrive any where between CD27 and CD30, but I can feel her ugly presence.
You know that bloated horrible, heavy feeling you get just before she arrives.
I just hope she stays away until Monday evening at the earliest because other wise I am going to have a real problem with my IUI. My FS is away the Christmas week.

I am having a serious blonde monent here. If she were to arrive tomorrow would I most likely ovulate on Monday 29th or would it be Sunday 28th????

Obviously the Fertility Clinic is closed on Sunday so if it is the Sunday that would be aweful. Men are so lucky, that don't have to worry about trying to calculate all this *sigh*

Debshopeful, the progesterone was to shrink the follicle. It won't do anything to help your uterine lining for the next go around since it will thin out again when the arrives. If the comes today then you will ovulate on a Sunday. If she comes tomorrow then you will ovulate on Monday.

I'm shocked that your specialist doesn't work on Sundays and that there is no one available to do the IUI in her absence. That could mess up a lot of peoples plans. My FS doesn't even do my IUI. It's a nurse that does them. In fact, much to my dismay, I have only seen my FS once at the initial consult. But, my nurse consults with her frequently regarding my "case".

Still praying for a birthday (and Christmas) !!!

3 days til testing...I'm so freakin' nervous!

 

[lulabell]

Ok..I'm 11 DPO and I'm starting to feel light cramping low in my abdomen and mild lower back pain. Could it be a symptom? Or is playing a nasty trick on me? I normally don't get either symptom before I get my AF! This is torture...the wait!

 

[vineyard]

It could be either but prayers that it's a . You test on Wednesday right? I test Thursday!!

 

[DebsHopeful]

Good luck with the testing girls, I can't wait to see all those s.

Thanks for the info vineyard. Today is Monday so by your calcuations I am okay if she arrives any time between now and around Wednesday.

I am so lucky with my FS he is totally awesome. He does work on Sundays if necessary like last month I met him at his surgery at 18:00 on Sunday to get my HCG jab and I call him on his mobile when ever I am concerned about something. Okay it is only meant for emergencies but I have called a few times and he is so sweet and always prepared to help.

The problem is the fertility clinic, I don't think they work on Sundays and I obviously need to take DH's sperm along to get washed and put in the syringe so that is where the problem comes in. You are quite right though, this could be a big problem for a lot of people, I should investigate further and see if there is an alternative plan in place.

Wednesday and Thursday are right around the corner

Akcher, when are you testing?

 

[akcher]

Hi girls,

I tested all weekend and all BFNs. So depressing. I don't know why my FS gave me today as my deadline to let them know if it was success or not as today is only 11DPO. They say they count 13 days from HCG trigger shot. I usually ovulate late. I usually follow the doctor's advice but I want to give it a few more days till at leasr 14DPO. I just can't understand why even with 4 follies I still can't get a BFP. I feel so down and start to think what if IVF is not going to work too? I don't have money for cycles and cycles of IVF.

 

[lulabell]

to you akcher! I don't understand why your FS told you to test on 11DPO either...thats odd! I would probably test again on day 14. My FS tells me not to test until then.

You know if it only takes one egg and one little to conceive...how come so many of us have so much trouble? It's just not fair!

 

[vineyard]

akcher, 11 DPO doesn't make sense to me as implantation occurs between 8-12. So, there's a chance your little eggie hasn't even implanted yet. That's why most people won't get a positive pregnancy test until after their missed period. Don't get too discouraged yet. It can still happen!

Also, with IVF your chances are much higher and you can ask them to do ICSI which means they manually fertilize each egg. So, there is lots of hope with IVF so if you have to go down that road, be confident that it will work.



I did give in and tested yesterday. . But, it's early. I now remember why I don't test. I will not test again until my blood test on Thursday.

I started spotting some more this am. I hope it's not the but rather egg #2 implanting. FX!!!

 

[akcher]

Thank you girls. I didn't get to test today but will when I get home. 11 DPO is strange and sometimes you gotta trust your gut.

Good luck Vineyard! I've got everything crossed for you!

Lullabell, don't you test in a few days too? Lots of

 

[DebsHopeful]

Akcher, you are definitely still in with a chance. I tested early last month and my FS said he tell his IVF patients to only start testing from 10 day post egg transfer which equates to 10 days after implantation so you definitely can be way to early at this stage. Does your doctor want you to stop taking your progesterone tomorrow?
I hope not, I would think you should keep taking it till you are at the very least 14DPO but I am not a doctor.

FX Vineyard that you have seen a positive sign of implantation.

Lulabell good luck sweetie.

Acarnegirl, haven't heard from you in a while, I hope you and your bump are well.

 

[akcher]

Yea they told me to stop taking the progesterone but I'm not going to stop till 14DPO. Still 3 more days.

 

[lulabell]

Yes...I test tomorrow and I'm going insane! I have never been so nervous about testing! I have been having crazy dreams and I went out Christmas shopping this morning...just to sit in Target parking lot crying my eyes out! I'm loosing it! I can not seem to get in the Christmas spirit and I feel horrible about it! I have a three year old daughter and she is so excited about it this year! I wish I felt the same!

 

[akcher]

Don't you just love hormones? I cry at the oddest things lately. Don't feel bad. Lots of luck tomorrow!!

 

[vineyard]

Good luck ladies! We all deserve s for Christmas!!

 

[lulabell]

And I'm off to the lab...FX

 

[vineyard]

lulabell, I just got nervous for you. Good luck!! FX!! Prayers!!
