Dear Nicker,

WOW, this is amazing!!! Thank you so much for this update!! You are so sweet..

 

[Kinerie]

Kinerie- if you are an early ovulater, they can give you something to suppress it until you are ready to trigger and IUI. Ask Nicker as she had it. My IUI was done the same way. I go for bloodwork daily from cd10, ultrasound every other day. If my follies are ready and no lh surge was detected in blood I trigger at 10pm and IUI at10 am two days later (36 hours) worked like a charm, as I am now preggers.

Nicker- I so want you to get your bfp this time. Are you still going to test the next few days or just wait for your beta? Ps I get headaches all the time now from hormones, hope it's a good sign for you.

Tella- I'm with you, I don't think I could read that book, it'd scare me too much and I'd end up living in a bubble due to fear. I think it's don't do things you flat out know are bad for you and things in moderation.

Dear Hopeful42nd,
I have been told anything about suppressing my ovulation at the clinic but then it was probably my fault, I should have mentioned that I ovulate day 9-10...I will most def. make a point about that this month..Still another 9 days to go before testing! Ahhhhrrrrrr

 

[Nicker]

Equal for some reason I haven`t. I am hoping to be exactly like you

 

[Nicker]

WOW, this is amazing!!! Thank you so much for this update!! You are so sweet..

You are welcome

 

[Hopeful42nd]

Congrats Ash and good luck with triggering tonight! for Tuesday!

Equal- I had no idea you tested negative the morning you went for your beta! That was how many dpiui/dpo? See some ppl implant later! Hey I see you had your fourth beta done, numbers looking good congrats again

Nicker - I do like the idea of your thread, unfortunately I'm going to have to call my clinic for my exact betas and stuff. Can't remember exacts as I was too damn excited! Good luck with your testing or not testing, whatever you see is right for you.

 

[Nicker]

Equal - What kind of test did you use on the morning of your beta? May I share your info on my other thread? I think it would really help others to not give up hope.

 

[MommyMel]

Something strange..... AF only lasted for 3 days, Thereafter only some brownm spotting..... not even enough for a panty liner....
is this at all normal ?

Mine are shorter and lighter since starting with meds.

 

[Nicker]

Here is what I am thinking. I will not get a bfp before beta. If Saturday's headache was implantation (fx) then blood should be positive 3 or 4 days later and since hcg takes an extra couple of days to show up in urine, no bfp on stick until a day or two after beta.

My AF is also only 2 proper days of flow and then spotting slightly for a day or maybe 2. And my lining has been fine with all my IUI's. So i wont worry about it to much.

 

[Tella]

Kinerie > Hope they will monitor you more closely in the next cycle.

Hopeful > Yeah, life is hard enough already to just do the right thing and if eating is gonna become a mission as well it is gonna be hell.

Nicker > I hope I have a bfp by 11dpo but once I get my bfp I will post when it happened

Ash > Fx'd for you!!!!!!!!!!!!

Equal > That is very encouraging considering I was devistated the morning of Beta and I got a bfn. Hope it doesn’t happen this time!!!

And all the other girls hope you come and surprise us with a BFP soon!

AFM > Otherwise Im not 4DPO and 6DPTrigger and my trigger is almost out of my system so now im ready to see my bfp fade back in

 

[bastetgrrl]

Good morning ladies:wave:

Hope everyone had a fabulous weekend!

I'm anxiously awaiting more BFPs on this thread! So glad that Equal got hers, Nicker will be next and then the rest of us in the TWW.



AFM - just waiting and trying to stay positive. It's very tough considering how rough this last year has been and we are quickly approaching the anniversary of when we first conceived.

Hi Ladies! This thread is very large now. Nicker, thanks for keeping everyone straight and keeping track of the progress.

Equal - Enjoy every moment Mrs. Prego!!

Tella - I am right with you lady!

Nicker - Your symptoms sound very positive!! I am feeling very positive for you!! Wahoo!! Start the trend. Thanks.

Dilia - TWW - lets stay positive during our TWW!

Basetgrrl - TWW too! Hopefully you get a sticky a.s.a.p.! Btw - I try to only drink organic milk. I read Skinny Bitch. Good Book.

Msw - TWW - another PUPO buddy!

Ash - Good Luck tomorrow!! You'll be joining the rest of us in the TWW real soon!

Isela - I hope you have excellent follies!!

Daisy & Oneof14 - How are you both?

Haj - Thinking of you!

DrS - When is your IUI?

Hi to Kinerie and all the other ladies!!

 

[DaisyQ]

Oooh oneof14 - I'm jealous you get a CD 10 scan. I wish I was going in on CD 10 - I think I'm going to be ready EARLY.

As for lining issues, from what I understand, if lining is thin from clomid, taking supplemental estrogen (estrace) can help build it up (this is pre-trigger, pre-IUI). Progesterone doesn't make your lining thicker - it just changes the lining to be in a secretory state, which is how it needs to be for implantation to happen.

Learned something new re: the estrogen. My RE always says the progesterone suppositories will make a hospitable environment for implantation.

Yeah, progesterone does make it more hospitable, by changing the nature of the lining to a secretory state (whatever that means), but I don't think it actually makes the existing lining thicker.

 

[AMP26]

Ash: Good luck tomorrow!!!!!! As for the triplets possibility, I always say that one would be a miracle, two would be an adventure, & three would send me running back to my moms house!! I hope this is our month!

Congrats on the BFP Equal! So amazing for you!!

AFM: 5dpiui....... This TWW is going to kill me! lol... Going in for blood work either tonight or tomorrow to check my levels and I'll set up my appointment for my Beta but I already know he's going to make me wait until day 14 My plan is to talk him into letting me come in on the morning of the 11th that way I'll (hopefully) know by the time I get home from work and can **hopefully** surprise DH with a BFP! I'm trying so hard not to SS but I can't help but notice that I'm having extreme lower back pain since last night. I know that it's too early for any kind of symptoms, but........

 

[DaisyQ]

Frolicky, I'm doing ok. Hanging in there.

Bastet,

Also, speaking of AF, mine was also very light and short this cycle after Clomid. Glad to hear tella, that lighter flow has not meant a thinner lining for you. Interested to see how everything is doing on Wednesday. Hoping I have 2-3 follies and good lining

Yep, same here. This TWW is gonna drag on. Hope everything goes well with your blood work and that you can get your beta done on the 11th.

SS is so hard NOT to do. I'm just as guilty of doing it.

 

[Tella]

Daisy > Fx'd for 3 juicy follies and a nice thick lining. And that you can do IUI soon after.

Froliky > When is your OTD? My Beta is the 10th so only 8 more days

Keeping all you ladies in my prayers for a bfp this time around!!!!!!!

 

[froliky2011]

Hi Tella - They always want it 14dpo, so April 12th. I will most likely do a hpt on the 10th or 11th though. Good Luck!!!
