Thanks ladies... I appreciate your input. And keep it coming.

For both of my IUI's I had IUI 36 hours after trigger, it hasn't worked yet but I'm hoping this time is it!

 

[Blue eyes 81]

Had mine at 13 and 36.

 

[DaisyQ]

Oh Blue Eyes I so hope this is it for you!!

And of course I'm sending to everyone else in the TWW. There are a LOT of us now. I'm almost there.

OK so like I figured I can't wait until I get home. But now I am going nuts logging in every five minutes to see if my lab results are in. Ahhh the waiting is the worst!!!

Good luck!!! I'll keep my fingers crossed for you today. I wouldn't be able to wait either

Hi Ladies I read this in another post and wanted to share. I am increasing my folic acid and vitamin B doses.

"Anyway, some of you may know about this, some not, but I found out I have clotting problems due to a compound heterozygous MTHFR gene mutation – one copy of the gene mutation C677T & one copy of the gene mutation A1298C. (You can probably imagine the word that came to my mind after seeing the acronym! - so immature, I know but that’s what I’m calling it bc I wouldn’t be able to pronounce it if I tried… )

So, on a list of “severity” it’s #2 out of 5 mutations or combinations thereof. I don’t have elevated cysteine (thank God) but I have elevated thrombosis antigen (again, clotting, so makes sense). Here is what it says:

What Are the Implications?
Any and all of the mutations can affect homocysteine levels, but there is much dispute as to whether elevated homocysteine levels are actually needed in order for MTHFR to cause medical complications. Many other MTHFR patients have normal homocysteine levels; yet have had implantation problems, m/c(s), and/or stillbirth(s) due to clotting problems. This is a serious field and MTHFR is a serious condition, so consulting an expert is wise.

Would you like to know how to fix this “serious mutation” – 5mg folic acid (Rx – its 12x normal dose), extra B6, extra B12 & baby aspirin. That’s it, unless you have ART then you may have to take one other Rx. All this time I have had the feeling that I was making them ok, but they weren’t implanting, I just thought it was due to insuff. hormones (they “said” hormones OK, but many are borderline). My poor little eggys are probably trying so hard, but MTHFR won’t let them implant & so they get washed away And then those mc’s… I know I can’t think of it like that…

SO, there are a host of other conditions that are assoc w/MTHFR & I couldn’t believe it when I read them. In addition to things like pulmonary embolisms, serious heart conditions, autism & strokes, it can be assoc with severe depression, anxiety, neurological disorders, fibromyalgia & chronic fatigue! Hmmm, severe depression, anx, neuro, chronic pain & tiredness – that rings a serious bell for me! And not only for me, but when I look back to both parental sides, I’m floored. Grant it, there are co-conditions & other contributing factors, but all these yrs a lot of my issues could potentially have been cured with folic acid? (see a list of conditions here if interested, but there are others: https://mthfr.net/mthfr-mutations-and...se/2011/09/07/)"

BlueEyes - Good Luck!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Nicker - I feel very sad for you! Hopefully there is a solution for you that you will discover soon to give you the hope you need to move forward.

PinkLolly - Good Luck!!!!!!!!!!!!!

MommyMel - I hope you are growing some good quality follicle(s)!!!

DrS - about the other lady with the positive beta. It's hard. Feeling envious is not fun.

Tryinghard -

FX'd for all of us in the TWW!!

We need BFPs A.S.A.P.!!!!!! Thanks.

 

[froliky2011]

Daisy - For my + BFP mine was about 27 hours past +LH surge. This last time I had a + LH surge and trigger and IUI was about 24 hours later. I had a lining of 11.5 the day of trigger and follicle was not measured but very large. Good Luck!! My E2 level on trigger day was 184. The LH/Trigger are not the only things the doctor uses to decide when to trigger. I believe the E2 levels, lining and follicle size all make a difference too. Good Luck!

 

[DaisyQ]

Thank you frolicky.

 

[froliky2011]

Oh, I made an error. I meant, all those things are taken into consideration of when to do IUI not trigger.

 

[Nicker]

Okay. For sure negative beta. April is not a possibility for sure as my RE is out of town for the next week. I think I will take off two or three months and do my final IUI in June or July. I will take CoQ10 and b50 complex vitamins. Tomorrow though, I am going to drink some rye. I am still feeling very hopeless and I have been on the verge of tears all morning.

 

[froliky2011]

Nicker - Give yourself lots of TLC. You need it and deserve it. Love yourself, your body etc. the way you would that child and just hold yourself in your arms and let it all out. I wish I could make you a very nutritous meal!

my doc doesnt check e2 (other than the one time day 7). spoke to the nurse yesterday and again stated i wanted a sperm count for my peace of mind. tomorrow will be the fun nurse so.. bah, i was sooo chipper the last few days. now im miserable. i know this is stupid but i already feel like this cycle failed (and havent even done the iui yet). i just have this gut feeling i cant get pregnant. since we know that just feeling positive doesnt make it happen, im not going to worry abot feeling negative cause that wont make it not happen but.. whenever people asked how many tries will you do, i said i hadnt thought about it and i hadnt.. but for some reason, despite not even reaching the "threshold" for infertility diagnosis, im starting to feel done. ive never been good at pushing myself to do things that i wasnt good at or that didnt come easy (i know that sounds weird given my career but.. school came pretty easy to me). it isnt even a money thing for me and only partly a time thing. because of my age i dont think i can drop it and pick it up again later. it is kind of now or never. just down today. hate hcg

DrS - The mind and body are very connected. Most diseases are caused by stress (which probably also has to do with how people respond to stress). Follow your heart. You will still have challenges if you follow your heart, but your heart will get you through those challenges. Some things take more effort especially things worth while imho.

My IUI was 24 hours after trigger but I know I didn't O until the next day. We DTD to cover our bases so I really hope it works.

 

[L4hope]

Daisy, my first IUI was done this Monday, cd13, 36 hours after trigger. I wonder why some only do one IUI and others do two? I think we should never feel bad about questioning the timing of anything. It's our bodies and we know our cycles. I'm sure with all of the patients they see, they don't remember every detail. I know I missed my ovulation the first month because we didn't go in soon enough and my OPK didn't work.

 

[bastetgrrl]

Okay. For sure negative beta. April is not a possibility for sure as my RE is out of town for the next week. I think I will take off two or three months and do my final IUI in June or July. I will take CoQ10 and b50 complex vitamins. Tomorrow though, I am going to drink some rye. I am still feeling very hopeless and I have been on the verge of tears all morning.

Have a or three

Geesh...I never understand how an entire cycle can be out because the RE is out of town or on vacation. I mean I get that they need breaks too but someone should back up, right?

Drink rye? What is that? Only thing that comes to mind is rye bread.

Girls I have a quick question. I took the trigger on Sunday night and had IUI Tuesday morning but Monday night around 10 o'clock I started getting this pain on my right side and I'm suuuure it was ovulation. Is it bad that I had the IUI 11 hours after I ovulated? I mean I guess that's not GREAT! But, I heard some people getting preggo even though they had IUI after ovulation .... what do you think?

Also keep in mind, ovulation is a process and even though I was having those pains, doesn't mean it happened that minute!
