Fingers crossed daydream! Hope you see a nice darker line soon!

 

[bastetgrrl]

Well I have no self control and POAS this morning too. DH is annoyed with my early testing but he can shut it. There was a very extremely light, not-photographical ghost line. Nothing to celebrate over but something to keep my fingers crossed that it will darken by Monday morning when I use the FRER. DH saw it as well so I know I'm not just seeing things.

FXD hope it gets real dark!

Daydream - Fingers & toes and everything else crossed for you!!! xoxo

 

[daydream]

Thanks ladies. I was finally able to get a picture where you can kind of see it. I posted it in my blog. I'll probably test again tomorrow with another IC, but the real test will be Monday when I use my FRER.

Bastet - if you thought yours was faint, then you'll never be able to see mine. Hope that gives you more confidence, yours is definitely a BFP!

 

[bastetgrrl]

Thanks. I'll stop by to check it out. I'm so thrilled that this threads luck is turning around.

UPDATE

Definitely see it! Loving the negative photo effect that really helps. Maybe I should try that out.

Congrats!!

Nicker...Thank you for help about CoQ10.....

Hello everyone, how is everybody keeping up?
Just got back from my little birthday getaway and, instead of testing positively next week, got my period 6 days earlier, had to cut the holiday short, in order to go to the clinic tomorrow morning, order the meds etc..What a fuss and horrible disappointment..Happy f...38th birthday to me...

 

[Kinerie]

Dang....am I the only one that gets accu done on my back?? Mine always starts on my back and then moves to the front. It seems that he puts more on my back (can't see them) than on my front. When he gets to my front they go in my stomach (two below belly button), leg (below knee) and ankles. He pokes various points without leaving the needle in as well.

I've got an appt tonight and will be interesting to see where they will go after O.

Equal - I hope everything goes well and that lil bean is just fine. I'm so sorry about your sister.

Tella - yay for trigger being gone! Now bring on the BFP!!

Mine does on the back mainly, then closer to ovulation - at the front, and then for the next two weeks - again on the back, just in case you are pregnant, not supposed to have needles on your belly..hope this helps..unless different doctors have different techniques??

 

[Kinerie]

Sigh. Got a sperm count today. Wish id done it sooner. Number was good, motility was good. Progression sucked. So basically they just sit there and wiggle. I'm kinda bummed and pissed now. What a waste of 3 cycles and possibly this 4 th though I'm hoping having a ton of eggs will help. The doc said he can't say that isn't why I'm not getting pregnant but he'd recommend changing donors. Fuck. I wish I'd known last failed cycle (or the first for that matter). Thousands of bucks for sperm that sit on the couch with a remote.

Drsquid, these are the standard tests done and which should be shown, made known to you absolutely because if there is anything wrong with any of the tested criteria, it might or will affect your chances:

Volume - (shld be 2ml or more)
Concentration - (shld be 20 million/ml or more)
Motility - (shld be 50% or more)
Good Progression - (shld be 25% or more)
Total Good Progression - 104 million
Normal Morphology - 6% (but anything over 2% is still good)

Hope this is helps..

 

[Kinerie]

I don't know where the problem was but the bank will give me 4 free vials and will defrost a 5th from the same donor day to check in house before shipping and talk to my clinic to make sure they are doing stuff right. Now I dunno whether to go back to femara with a new donor.

Absolutely NEW DONOR!

 

[Kinerie]

Pink lolly: Congrats! H&H 9 months! So happy for you

DrSquid: Grrrr that is so frustrating, I mean WTF?!?!?! Why would they let a guy with sub-optimal fertility or even infertility DONATE sperm?!?!?! That is such rubbish. They better let you have a free cycle with FERTILE sperm that actually gets off the couch.

Totally agree, or a refund for all failed cycles with this unproductive donor. Exactly, why would they even use someone with problematic sperm? Change the donor, and the clinic, I say..

So-so happy for you!!! so great to read what, 3 positives this week?? fantastic news for all concerned! Let's hope we get your luck very soon too!!

 

[DaisyQ]

Daydream! I think I might see a line too! I would never be able to hold out till Monday. Stalking this thread to see if you test again tomorrow with FRER... ICs are notorious for faint lines.

Kinerie, I am so sorry. That really blows the big one. Is your progesterone normal BTW? Just curious. I am taking progesterone during the TWW so my AF never shows up early. Would love to talk to you more via private message about RMA NY - which is where I'm going too. Thinking of *maybe* making a switch to RMA NJ if it comes to IVF, as they have higher success rates, AND I live in NJ, so it's actually more convenient for monitoring and to get home after ER and transfer.

AFM, second IUI went well - 81 million/mL. No idea on motility or forward progression (they never tell me ANYTHING), but I'm going to ask when I see my doctor for an office appointment next week. Hubs had a bit of an accident after giving his sample today. I was sitting there in the waiting room, wondering what was taking so long (he was gone 30+ minutes), and I was worrying he had passed out after, and was sitting in the room with the cup tipped at an angle, with the contents spilling out! I almost asked the receptionist if I could go check on him (can you imagine?) but then he reappeared - bleeding from his face! Apparently he knocked into a shelf on his way out of the room. It was quite an adventure, but we got it done. I think I'm officially in the TWW as of today or tomorrow.

 

[froliky2011]

Kinerie - I am 38 too and got pregnant not long after my 38th birthday only to find out I was mc on Valentines' Day. Soo sorry hon!! Hopefully there are better things in store a.s.a.p.

Daisy - Ooops. Sorry about DH but glad he's OK and you were still able to proceed with a successful round 2. Welcome to the TWW!!!!!

Congratulations to all the ladies!! Wahoo!! Way to get our Easter weekend off to a fabulous start!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

 

[froliky2011]

P.S. Daisy - Your BBT chart looks great! Good timing!! Perfect!!

Hi, Daisy, FX for that second line!!! Go girl!!! Keep us updated please?
Sure, you can private message me..I live in Manhattan so RMA over here is convenient..I am not a candidate for IVF right now..Who is your doctor, are you happy with him/overall treatment at the clinic? Again, so-so keeping my FX for you..

Daisy, this is too funny..God, it takes mine 45 min, then he is completely freaked out when the nurse starts knocking on the door! wow, what an adventure indeed..I do so-so much hope it will work out for you this time...

[BabyOnMyOwn]

Hi Everyone! I'm sorry for not commenting much lately, I've been stalking every couple of days but it's been tough to have this last cycle not work and knowing I'm taking a break for awhile.

I am SOOOOOO excited to see the BFP that have come in the last week! Congratulations and a H&H 9 months to all of you!!

For those in the TWW, I hope it passes quickly for you all! Sening lots of baby dust to everyone!

For those waiting for their next cycle, here's hoping for lots of good follies!!

AFM, I have decided to take 2-3 cycles off. I need some time off the hormones and I would really like to lose a little of the weight I've put on since I began TTC. I had an appointment with a new RE on Tuesday but they called to reschedule it for the 25th. I'm not thrilled, but can't do much about it. I am doing acupuncture 1-2 times per week and taking all my supplements. Like Nicker, I am terrified of not having any more eggs. With the DOR diagnosis I feel I don't have much (if any) time left. I'm hoping all the things I am doing will help with egg quality. I have also started looking into adoption but would still REALLY like to have my own baby. I will see what the new RE says when I get in to see her.

I'll keep stalking here, I can't wait to see those of you in the TWW get your BFP!!!

 

[Hopeful42nd]

Daydream- I see a hint of something there, here's hoping to that getting darker! Fx!

Nicker- that's aweful about the 2nd one and you not having a right to complain. That's bull, it's not like you don't have the exact same proof right now!

Kinerie- sorry that's rough it showed so early! Good luck with next cycle.
