[Hopeful42nd]

Drsquid - atta girl! This is the side of you that needed to come out in order to get what you want. How did the front desk clerk/nurse react to you about all the issues? I love your attitude tell the wiener to do the damn count! Lol

Amp26 - good luck with your follie scan tonight. Who knows maybe your a quick responder and will be ready for trigger by tomorrow!

Mohini- good luck with IUI #2 tomorrow!

i seem to have snapped out of my funk
so i talked to him today. he said that at ucsf they did a sperm count on every sample everytime and it was pretty much always normal. that sperm donors are selected for their ability to produce super high counts. he apparently didnt realize that it was really bugging me and that the reason they dont do it is because it is a waste of money for the patient (greater than $100 lab charge for "analysis") and really doesnt mean much in terms of outcome (in that even if it is "low" for a donor, it is still high). that being said im still getting it checked next time.. i think a lot of my being upset was just a general hormonal depression/anger thing. usually when i get that way it is sort of free floating and this time i had something to point it at. he again told me what i pretty much already knew which is that i dont qualify as "infertile" as you have to have tried for 6 months and failed, which i havent, and i still fall in the range of statistically normal. he gave me the option of sticking with femara for another cycle or going on to injectibles. and i decided to go with the injectibles because apparently stats with femara are 5-10% per cycle and injectibles put it up to 20% or so. i feel a lot better after talking to him. he has done a lot of research on lowering the cost of fertility treatments and providing care to a wider range of income groups which translates to elimination of uneeded tests (ie af and a day 3 us is plenty to start the next cycle. no beta required to be "sure" etc).

Well it seems as though progesterone has made me into one crabby teacher. My tolerance level is about zero. Never realized it until during first period today. I feel kind of like a honey badger.

 

[DaisyQ]

Squid, I'm so glad you are feeling better. Sounds like you had a productive conversation. I couldn't agree more that injectables is the way to go. Wish I could do them myself this cycle, but the nurse told me it's too late.

 

[mamadreams]

Congrats mamadreams & equal may I ask what your symptoms were?

Hi Hays,

The only symptom I had was a bad cold that I got the day after the IUI. Other than that, I had nothing. Some say, the cold lowered my immune system which made it easier for the sperm to swim...I don't know if there is any truth to that.

Good luck! I hope you get your BFP soon!

 

[Equal]

Good luck Equal, we're pulling for you! The number of your beta would depend more on the day it was taken.

Have a look, now this isn't to say outside these ranges never happens this is just what is considered normal.

 

[Nicker]

Hey ladies,

I have done some thinking today and I think I have made some decisions. Intuition is telling me I am out this cycle. I know that there is still half of my two week wait left but something is just telling me nope. I believe I will be taking two (maybe 3) months off after this tww wait. During that time I will take CoQ10 and maybe do acupuncture. If taking time off means I run out of time then I guess it wasn't meant to be.

 

[Nicker]

usamom - you had a beta today didn't you?

 

[drsquid]

first gonal f shot done.. wheee

Hopeful42nd: Just curious, do you remember how many mature follicles you had with each successful IUI?

Thanks!!!

 

[drsquid]

nicker- thanks.. in reading a few threads it seems the dose he has me on is quite high but.. whatever.. and id say buck up and think positive but quite frankly im not sure it matters what we think. i dont believe we can influence anything by positive or negative thinking and that is a GOOD thing. the end result is what it is and there is nothing we can do to influence that (beyond the obvious of meds and proper timing after that it is out of our hands). people telling me they were sure it worked etc gave me false hope, dreams of babies and being told i was pregnant gave me false hope. do i think you are out? nope.. not til af arrives. but i think you gotta do what works/feels right for you. and if that is being negative so be it, positive, so be it.. i dont believe we can somehow "know" the results in advance. i too share the feeling of "this will never work" and that i cant get pregnant.. doc said today that it is totally common, that after a few failed cycles we ALL feel that way. it will be what it is. my fingers are crossed that you are wrong and that you have a beautiful surprise at the end of your tww

I'm sorry you are feeling that way, I know how frustrating it can be! I'm going to keep thinking you are going to get your BFP this cycle!

AFM, AF showed up today. I am going to call the dr tomorrow to see if I can stop taking the progesterone. I am also taking the next two months off. I need to spend some time getting the hormones out of my system (before I start pumping them right back in!). I am hoping it's not a mistake, but hopefully all the supplements and acupuncture will help.

 

[LouTTC1]

Morning all.

Sorry if this is TMI but I had a bit of bleeding this morning. I've now got the cramping feelings that normally mean that AF will fully arrive later today or tomorrow (I'm about 11 dpiui if I count the day after as day 1).

I've been taking progesterone and on Sunday night I didn't take my dose. I did take it first thing Monday though and the regular one on Monday night. I know stopping progesterone can bring on AF and I hope by forgetting I didn't ruin our chances.

I know I'm not fully out just yet but think I will be by tomorrow. Good luck to everyone else in their TWW or waiting for IUI.

 

[mohini12]

sorry Lou
you had bleeding.and i dont think it is beause you missed your progstrone.sometime it happens even after medication.so relax.it may be implantation bleeding.f.c for you
my 2nd round of iui had completed today.feeling nausea and tired.

 

[Tella]

drsquid > I understand keeping the costs down but then I think they should give you an option on the additional costs. Yay on first GonalF shot!!!! only a few more to go, GROW FOLLIES GROW

nicker > hope the progesterone eases up on you. But I know how you feel, last month we where eating out and DH was stealing chips of my plate and I almost wanted to ask him if he wants my plate and I never mind sharing…its was quite funny when I told him the next day

I do hope your intuition is wrong and that you will in fact get that bfp this month! Also you are not running out of time yet, lots of ppl have babies at 40, so if it is a break your body needs then do it and maybe try a different injection if there is a next time.

Daisy > Good luck with the pills, it is gonna be your last iui and you wont need injectables

LouTTC > I don’t think one missed dose can make AF come, normally it takes me 3-4 days before I get my AF after stopping. Fxd for implantation bleeding!!!!!!!!!!!!!

mohini > Sorry about the nausea, hope you feel better quickly and that your TWW is quick!!!

AFM > Had my follie scan this morning, and all looks great I have 2 on the left of 26mm & 18mm and 1 on the right that is 14mm that might catch up but not sure. Doing trigger tonight and IUI on Thursday morning. It is perfect timing as its my stepdad, that passed away 4 years ago, birthday so I hope it brings us some luck! Im also feeling very bloated and it hurts if I sit forward for to long.

I just went and bought my 12 hpt's and a digital Pink ones are 20miu and the blue 10miu
