IUI Jan/Feb/March/Apr/May 2012 - Status updates on page one 12 bfp

i keep thinking.. wow ive never had any of that happen etc. what is wrong with me, then remembering (and getting pissed off all over again) that it was freaking dud sperm. sigh. the progesterone is making me crazy too. im still all bloaty and gross. what a waste

Yeah, I was nervous with my sperm results which were pretty good compared to what they gave you. Sorry. The progesterone makes me feel too. I hate that stuff! If you have the stress of TTC on top of that hormone it's not fun. I told my sister she could "go f@ck herself" yesterday morning because I told her about my dream (positive pregnancy test) and woke up at 3:00 a.m. and tested and got a and she said "ya, well, talk to ___her friend__" who was having surgery (her insides were coming out because she had 5 kids and I guess things are not good down there. I guess I felt like she had no compassion and freaked out. About 1/2 later we were laughing about it because we knew it was the hormones. Thank goodness she did not take it personally. Holy Sh!t!!

You deserve a couple of free rounds of it all as far as I am concerned. You may want to discuss with an attorney?

Froliky that is awesome! I'm going to go to the store today to load up on digitals....

Because...

I got this this morning: https://projectbabymaking.tumblr.com/ password: daydream

My ICs are still pretty light, but that FRER is unmistakable. Oh and yes, everyone can make fun of me for saying I'm waiting until Monday and TOTALLY NOT DOING SO. I have horrible self control, lol.

I'm going to call tomorrow to get my beta done. I have to leave on Tuesday afternoon to go out of state on a work trip until Friday, so yeah.. that puts a wrench into my testing plans.

WOO HOO!!! I'm so thrilled for you!

Quick questions:

What does "Cautiously PAL" mean and what does "OH" mean?

"PAL" is pregnant after loss

"OH" is other half

Congrats to all you preggie ladies!!!! H&H 9 months for all of you and your beans!!!

Hope to join u tomorrow morning!



Sorry to all the bfn's, can't post to each and everyone like normal as I just had to read 16 pages on my phone will catch up on Tuesday! I'm also gettinga faint line on a 10miu but will update. If it gets darker tomorrow!

Loving all the BFP's on this lovely day, Jesus is amazing and love him so much for sharing it with us all!

 

[Blue eyes 81]

Congrats to all you bfp ladies! I am so happy for all of you. Seeing all the bfps gives me hope.

 

[daydream]

Tella ohhh GL I hope that line gets darker!!

 

[Kinerie]

Congrats frolicky! Wow, a lot of bfps here after that long dry spell.

Well, mine is still not looking too good, unfortunately...Had blood test and us today CD3 - FSH level is fucking 22.1 - I can't even take any meds...However, has been advised by a cheerful nurse to continue to try to conceive naturally or with umedicated IUI which, I suspect, might be a waste of time and money..There is nothing wrong with my husband's sperm, the issue is with me, so unmedicated, I still won't have follies this month....So upset right now, beyond, simply crashed...Last month FSH was 17 which is still pretty high and this month - 22...They don't want to touch with a pole now..

 

[Kinerie]

Would anybody know if supplements:
Wheatgrass
CoQ10
DHEA

can raise FSH level?? Of how can I possible lower it??

Thanks....

 

[froliky2011]

Tella - Good Luck!! Sounds very promising!!

Kinerie - Sorry!! Just keep moving forward! It's grueling, I know but it will all be worth it some day!! Better to know you gave your 150% into making your dreams come true than not and have regrets.

Wishing all the ladies for the next cycle!! We have all been there and understand, believe me!!!

 

[froliky2011]

Kinerie - I just finished reading "Fertile Female" by Julia Indichovia (sp?) which is amazing and goes into details about all those supplements. Most stuff I do is for aiding in implantation not stimulating follicles. I think folic acid can increase FSH but not sure.

I am confused? If you have high FSH wouldn't that mean you would be making follicles? Not sure why a high level makes you NOT produce a follicle when it's called the "Follicle Stimulating Hormone"?

 

[daydream]

Sorry Kinerie, I don't know much about that but FX that a natural cycle will still give you a good chance

Congratulations to the new BFP's!! You guys give me hope that this might happen!!

Took this info right off a fertility webpage.
"Women are born with a set number of eggs. As they age the number and quality of eggs decreases. One of the ways doctors check to see the quality of eggs that a mom has is by testing her FSH level. Basically FSH goes up in response to a negative feedback loop. Meaning as a woman's eggs start to diminish in quality or number, her body will in turn make more FSH to compensate. The egg itself communicates with the women's body to tell it to make certain hormones. So testing a woman's hormone levels can help determine the quantity and quality of eggs a woman has."

Slightly changed your quote.

This is why I thought I produced two eggs naturally in January. My body knows my eggs are not as good of quality so it produces more naturally to make up for the lower quality? That is why women between the ages of 35-39 are more likely to have twins natually because they are more likely to release more eggs. Amazing how reproduction works and how our bodies naturally want to procreate.

Froliky, basically the way it works is when the ovarian reserve is diminished (that's the official term of the condition - DOR), to compensate for the lack of follies, the body produces more FSHormone. I know, doesn't make sense but FSH is only a sign, a marker for the low ovarian reserve. The lower the follies count, the higher is FSH...And the reason they don't want me to take the injectibles is because the bypass product is an increase of FSH level, because we are stimulating the ovaries into producing more eggs...And this will make my level even higher...however, I am pissed that no suggestions have been made to me as to what could be and should be done about it..Of course, if was only a nurse doing her job telling me the test results but still..Will be calling first thing tomorrow morning to see if I can see my doctor to discuss..F..., I can't miss another cycle like that. And today's us showed only one follicle in my left ovary..Fantastic news..And nothing, apparently, can't be done about treating it! Shouldn't they try to lower my FSH so I can start taking the meds rather than doing unmedicated IUIs with only one follicle?? So-so upset, Christ..And I have just paid $3,000 for this month meds!

Thank you, DayDream...Not feeling very hopeful right now, to be honest with you...and the fact that the clinic wouldn't even suggest how to proceed and if anything could be done is the worst. We so rely upon their help, advice...

 

[froliky2011]

Kinerie - Quality is way more important than Quantity. I only had one follicle this month and look What was the sperm count, motility, progression? There is a lot of hope for you, unless you want twins or triplets? Oh, and I am not on meds. All my IUIs have been unmedicated except I got a trigger this time and start progesterone 2 dpo. There is still hope! This is my 2nd out of 4 all unmedicated and I am 38.
